Hendrick Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I'm sure the launch has something to do with it, however the top two pictures have a cylinder shape on the bottom of the track, not B&M's traditional box shape. Quote

Son of King Demon Bat Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 It's BEAUTIUL track! It's NEW! It's B&M! 2 Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I'm not a fan of the orange, but I'm sure the ride experience will make up for it! Quote

I believe that's called a "support". Guess I didn't catch that it was separate from the track itself. 2 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Such an awful vantage point for the construction cam. I'm assuming it's of the barn, the in-line roll and the brake run, correct? That means no station, no Immelman, no loop, etc. 1 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 What is the building that is currently under construction directly in front of the cam? I'm just trying to understand the orientation of the camera. Are we looking at the power house, while the station will be to its left and the brake run/in-line roll will be behind the power house? Quote
MantisMan Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 View is "roughly" in the area of the train looking towards the station in this pic.... 4 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 That definitely helps. Much appreciated! Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 So if this ride isn't reliable can we stop making so much fun of Intamin? At least from a reliability stand point (ejections and things like Maverick's roll are still fair game). Somewhat sarcastic! 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It's a B and M. It will be reliable. And on time. And within budget. 15 Quote
upstop Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 ^^ and oh so fun too... I like the pumpkin pie orange color as well. It will fit in Thanksgiving very well!. 4 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I still intend to go off on a Rampage next summer! I adore that thing. 6 Quote
IBEW_Sparky Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I am going to make my way to Rampage next year as well... it will be a first time for me, and Im definitely looking forward to it. 2 Quote
upstop Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 http://youtu.be/jYiXyZwgPB8?t=1m32s Off to Alabama with a banjo on your knee! (actually, Rampage looks like a really fun coaster!) 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It is one of my very favorite wood coasters. Definitely one of the best CCI's. For those who like The Boss....this is very similar, in a much more twisted way. 6 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 ^ Don't do that to me! I'm already having trouble trying to contemplate how the heck I'll ever get down to Alabama anytime soon! 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Shouldn't be before next year For most here... Terp, who sometimes borders on saying too much. 2 Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I was at Holiday World today. There was a lot of buzz surrounding the sign describing what Thunderbird will be, including several phone calls from parkgoers to their friends/family in a state of disbelief. Entertaining indeed. And the orange color of the track looks fantastic. 4 Quote

The Interpreter Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Go back and read your post. Holiday World could not make the claim you proposed. It's not the "World's First Launched Wing Coaster." 1 Quote
APE Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 I'm sure that I missed reading something or that this has already been discussed.........BUT... Why is Thunderbird being advertised as "The Nation's First Launched Wing Coaster!" instead of "The World's First Launched Wing Coaster!".....? Is another B&M launched wing coaster expected to open before Thunderbird in another country?....... .....Maybe I missed something........ Watch "Furius Baco Roller Coaster Front Seat POV PortAve" on YouTubeFurius Baco Roller Coaster Front Seat POV PortAve: Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 The public isn't going to know or care about B&M vs. INTAMIN coaster branding. Then again, they mostly wouldn't know about the other coaster. Litigation and truth telling... 5 Quote
KevKenny Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I just realized all of the B&M wing coasters in the states are located within 350 miles of Dayton. Just seals the coffin on KI getting one. Quote

APE Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 I know that's why I posted that so he could see where and what the other one is. 3 Quote
