Red Track spotted at Batavia Steel Plant

Clearly, that's I why I asked the guys who were by the track if I could take a few pics. They had no problem with it. I'm not that stupid.

    If i worked there, i'd keep some random track pieces and every now and again, paint them different colors then set the on skids outside the plant and watch the coaster community explode.

    The plain fact is there is already existing at least one, and some would say two, B&M launched coaster(s). As has been said, every person is entitled to his or her own opinion, but not his or he

I know you know; I was just making it clear for those new to the site who might decide to stop by Batavia.

I know, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was offended, sorry if that was the case. I would hope people wouldn't jeopardize something we all have a passion for. I surely wouldn't, I love it to much. But you never know about others. 

 I've usually stop by on my way to KI usually every other time I go to the park. I just then it's so cool that Clermont Steel is the main manufacturer in the states for B&M. This season alone I've seen Blue, Red, Purple, Teal, Grey, Yellow, Orange, and Peach colored track this season.

Reports of red track outside the Batavia Steel plant. By the looks of the track, my guess is a hyper or Giga.

Kings Island needs a Giga coaster.

I like the orange color of that track. Cool name as well. Really interested to try a dive machine. I will get my chance next summer on my trip to Cedar Point to ride Valravn. My kid will finally be big enough to ride or I would have taken a lap this year. Which is something that has me really excited for next summer. He will be able to ride 6 new coasters next year at CP; GateKeeper, Wicked Twister, Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Dragster, and Valravn. Plus, he will be big enough to ride maXair.

I find this hard to believe. I’ve made formal requests from management in person. Here are the exact words told to me. “I can’t stop you from taking photos from a public space, but under no reason are photos allowed to be taken on the property.”

Find it hard to believe all you want, it's no sweat of my back. But it's what happened. TBH it didn't looked like the group of guys cared at all. I was taking pics from the road and asked the guys who were outside workign if I could come down and take some closer pics. They told me they didn't care.

That could possibly be the difference between talking to an official with the company, and a group of guys on the lot moving around and setting up for shipping. The guys responsible for getting the stuff ready to ship don't care, but the guys responsible for all of the contracts, legalities etc care.  

If they didn't want pictures taken they shouldn't have put them outside where people could see them. The people who deal with legalities know that it's legal to take pictures from a public space. 

Drove by the plant when i went to pick up a SOB bolt from a friendly lad, did not trespass and the only track/supports on site are for Valkyria at Liseburg!

Tweet with pictures!

Awesome video. I think those people are very proud of their work. I'd put it out for people to see too.
