I didn't expect the track to show up so soon.

We don't know for sure if the track is for Kings Island or not.

Talk about jumping to conclusions.

What rides currently at KI are from Intamin? I honestly can't keep track of most of the manufacturers, particularly the flat rides.

The Eiffel Tower, Viking Fury, White Water Canyon, Drop Tower, and Congo Falls I believe are the only rides at Kings Island built by Intamin.

So far.....

Thanks for the replies to my question.

I didn't expect the track to show up so soon.

Me neither.

Would they take that route to get to Dollywood?

If you are referring to me, then you are jumping to conclusions by assuming I believe this is Kings Island's track.

No guarantees its KI yet. Tell me once it takes the exit for KI.

Would they take that route to get to Dollywood?

Not unless they wanted to pay for four extra hours of gas.

Would they take that route to get to Dollywood?

They could. If they were they would take 71 S to 275 W to 75 south. I have my fingers crossed for anything right about now

If Intamin track is traveling down I-71 and if it is heading towards KI, the best place to spot it will be from the tower this afternoon. As soon as the track gets to the park, they're going to use a crane to lift it off the truck and get the truck in its way to its next destination.

Question, I don't follow roller coaster construction, but since KI is in the early stages, why would the track be showing up so soon? There are no supports going up, so it would seem like that track would sit out on site waiting for installment for several months. Just seems like a bass akwards construction schedule; I would have expected most of the footers to be installed prior to the first supports/track showing up. But like I said, I'm not at all familar, so what do I know.

I'm not jumping to conclusions, either. I merely inferred there are places where someone could legally park and keep an eye open to confirm IF the track was being delivered to Kings Island.

Would they take that route to get to Dollywood?

If they were coming from Maryland, they would most likely head southwest along I-81 through Virginia and on into Tennessee.

Would they take that route to get to Dollywood?

they'd like head down I-81 thru WV to get to dollywood.

but, it does bring up a good point, other than KI & dollywood, are there any other parks in the US claiming construction for next season?

Just because I posted after you doesn't mean you were the one I was referring to.

Now you're jumping to conclusions!

I-71 would be the quickest route from Columbus to Dollywood

Intimidator 305's track was already on site prior to support installment and all the footers being placed

Well then, who is jumping to conclusions? Because I just find your post to be random or out of place.

If it was indeed spotted on that strip of highway, its highly likely to be going to KI. It would be silly to disregard the probability.

Now until I get this track sighting verified, this could just be a hoax from Big Sexy.

Well if it is a hoax it was a successful one look how many people are now following this topic.

It should be at the park by now...if that is where it is indeed going

Perhaps it's a diversion.....

Yes from Columbus it would be the fastest rout however if the track was made in Maryland??

I was thinking the same thing. Their teaser sounds like a launch coaster of some sort.

Why wouldn't they use the new double-spined track?

It's amazing how quickly we got from "it's going to be a B&M" to "it's going to be an Intamin".

The fact that Intamin track was spotted on I-71 near Columbus means absolutely nothing. I-71 happens to be a very convenient shortcut for truckers, being one of the few interstate highways that runs northeast-southwest.

Also, Intamin has other models being sold outside their giga/hyper coasters that still use the box track.

2 things

1.) the shipment is coming down 71 with a supposed Intamin track piece (it couldn't be going back to Maryland

2.) Where is Kings Island located? Off of I-71.

I'm not saying its for KI but the anticipation is building tremendously. It's been 4 years since KI has built a new coaster, so this is extremely exciting

Also, Intamin has other models being sold outside their giga/hyper coasters that still use the box track.

Blitz and Mega-Lite?

The other question is, how do we know that the track in question wasn't Mack, Zierer or even Gerstlauer? All three of those companies use track that is very similar to Intamin box-style track. I would say that it would be especially difficult to discern the exact company if it was only seen via a quick glance from across the freeway. Interesting development though.

Any possibility this is going to Holiday World?

Gad198 brings up a good point, rumors I've been hearing is that Mack could be the manufacturer for the Dollywood ride. Now I am not saying the track is or isn't Intamin that was spotted, but it's a possibility.

By the way does Mack have a USA plant? If so where?
