boy Cedar Fair works fast!

I have a feeling that it wasn't.

Can we get some details other than where it was seen at?

wats Intamin track ???

its for Cedar Point trust me

wats Intamin track ???

 

It's track made by the coaster designing company Intamin. They're the ones who made Top Thrill Dragster and Millenium Force.

So where did it go on 275? Was it going in the direction of KI, or better yet, are there sightings of it AT the park somewhere?

During today's conference call, the CF representatives said there were no "substantial" commitments for rides at the Paramount Parks for 2007. They defined substantial as being in the realm of Ghostrider at KBF.

I doubt seriously any major coaster is being installed at any Paramount Park next year.

And don't even get me started by telling me that some enthusiasts' group is having a convention there next year. Parks do not plan major investments around enthusiasts' conventions.

Most likly it was heading to Cedar Point. If it was red you can bet 99.9% that was where it was going. It must have been a sight to see.

First off they said no rides over 20 million will be installed and what ever the paramoun tplans were is what they will be followng. what color was the track?

THey may get a good $15 million dollar woody

87 feet high, 55 mph, 2,476 feet long, red, white, and blue. Placed near Flight of Fear, KI's 14th coaster. The ride will last 1:23. Just a guess

Isn't there a company somewhere near Cincinnati (Batavia comes to mind for some reason) that manufactures steel coaster track?

I don't know if this means anything, but today I saw a blue container going up north I-275 ?

Maybe it was container full of pepis machines.

A blue container?!?!?! No freaking way! Clearly that is for our 500 foot coaster next year.

Yep. Five hundred feet....long.

Where they bought PKI they could just pack it all up and bring it back down the road. Doubt it.

Gotcha, thanks

Wow, this topic hasnt gotten nowhere! haha.... As it has been said, its headed for CP... They already have track laying about up there... but its sure not enough for a full coaster yet...

Well, if it WAS the blue track, it couldnt be heading for CP. I mean, their coaster is gonna be red.

First off they said no rides over 20 million will be installed

Where did you find this quote?

And if it is true, it is not that big of a deal. Both TTD ans MF both had a price tag of $25 million which so far has been the highest price ride built for any CF park. You can build a really great coaster for $19 million.

But if CF is going to continue Paramount's direction of more family rides, it is a moot point anyway.

It was stated during the media conference call that nothing substantial was on the books for planned capital investment at Paramount Parks for 2oo7. The situation was contrasted with that where KBF had alreadycontracted for Ghostrider when CF agreed to buy KBF.

Understand this was in the middle of a financial discussion about the obligations that CF is taking on. It was NOT a discussion of rides and planned rides. It WAS a discussion of capital obligations that PP had made that CF would become responsible for.

I saw the same quote in one of the many reportings... I dont recall which as I visited almost every financial and news site to see what each one was saying about the deal. It read "No park will receive a capital investment over $20 million in the next year," or something to that effect.

Well that certainly changes things if it is only for 2007; not the possibility for future years beyond '07. It doesn't mean that there will be a ride that exceeds $20 million, but it also does not close the door that it can't happen.

It is probably going up to Cedar Point. B&M track is spotted on 275 all the time. In fact - every B&M in the United States that was fabricated at CSF (I don't know if B&M has always used CSF as they do today) has traveled on 275 on its journey from the plant in Batavia.

He said he saw a blue CONTAINER, not blue TRACK.

Also who says the roller coaster can't have two colors?

Never said it wasn't possible, but no one in this topic mentioned seeing blue track, just a blue container.....
