CoasterKyle1121 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I think taking the colors of a souvenir cup as a tease is a little extreme. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 So we get lime green track at Clermont, and lime green coloring on the Eiffel Tower. Hmm. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not even be connected, but it's just odd. First day I have seen this track. Wasn't outside yesterday.

fryoj Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 lol, that is interesting. I could see the green track and green light as a legit hint, or as an intentional swerve by Don and the crew. I was firmly sure this wasn't a coaster. Now, I still don't think it is, but I'm certainly intrigued. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Did the coloring of the Eiffel Tower change or did it stay green for an extended period of time? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I think taking the colors of a souvenir cup as a tease is a little extreme. Especially considering that all of the parks in the chain have the same cup colors... Somehow I doubt Cedar Fair is putting in a new B&M at every single park in 2017. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hint towards a green INTAMIN coaster using that track they supposedly already have! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The question, I think is imperative to ask with this Eiffel Tower and Track conspiracy, is Does Don have the authority to determine the the color of the programed lights for the Eiffel Tower? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I wouldn't think that light color would be a big deal. It's not like it's a corporate level decision like where to spend $30 million. If it were to be a hint, I'm sure Don could go to whoever has final say, and tell them what he wants to do and it would be done. They trust him to be their media presence, they'd trust him to pick a light color. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamonbackandbeastlover Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'm suddenly a lot more interested in what's going on. And also leaning more towards coaster again. EDIT: let's just say hypothetically, this green track is a giga for KI. Production is starting extremely early yes, but if the coaster is huge, would they start this early? When did Fury's track start showing up? Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk I don't think we'd see it any sooner. KI has nowhere easy to store it without taking up valuable parking area. CSF isn't going to store it for them and they wouldn't want to store it offsite if they didn't have to. They'd coordinate the schedules so that when the pieces would start being ready shortly before they were ready to start putting them up.They do have that area where they were clearing dirt... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I did that in my parlor once. Terp, good at really clearing dirt. And in Georgia, it's often red. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaverick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 If we are getting a B&M I would think there would almost have to be some track made for it already. The pieces of track take several weeks to make. And there is so many sections of track to make especially for something like a giga. Even after each piece is fabricated and welded, every piece needs to be ultra sound tested to check for hardness depth and to check for cracks. Then each piece sits outside for weeks so that rust can eat away at any loose or excess metal around all the edges. Then every piece gets sand blasted before it gets painted with a chemical primer. That's alot of work and alot of time for each piece of track. Unless we're getting a woody or no coaster at all, there has to be some track in there somewhere for KI. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Just stopped by. Brought the Nikon with the zoom lens. Of course they have the track piece turned around so you can't see the label; unless you are trespassing. (Sorry guys, I don't break laws to get photos). But odd just 1 piece of green track. I don't recall any B&Ms with this color green. I was thinking maybe a replacement piece. It's not Hulk since that is completed. I guess it's a wait and see. Looks like all the prime pieces are for the Wing Rider for China. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Anyone know the type of track? It doesn't look identical to the yellow track beside it - The spine seems somewhat taller. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekidd33 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Most likely it is roller coaster track. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaverick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I personally like that color green for a coaster at KI. As long as it's not another coaster painted with a different shade of dark red/maroon. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The green looks like the color I've ran on my kart for years. That'd be sweet. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Not saying it disproves anything, but I have seen that color used on the Eiffel Tower before. Ive seen it that color before too.... At WinterFest. Also, red (orange filled with dark soda ... Lol) and green cups at all the parks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaverick Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 The box section on the green track looks larger. Or is that just me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
