TheKlockster Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Indeed - near the doctors offices up at the hospital - and pratically across the street from Batavia High School. So weird theyre all made here. So what kind of track do you think that is? Look at that TALL spine in the middle piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 To me it looks like an Inveterd flipper. Has somebody found the B&M plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Nope...better than that...the place where the track is fabricated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 I just figured it out. That pic has BOTH coasters in it! There is a white/blue regular type coaster in the foreground. Then that track in the background that appears to be tall and narrow - look at the piece next to it. The background pieces are painted - DARK BLUE! It is BGE's dive machine!

CoastersNSich Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Does Clermont Steel Fabricators also do the B&M coasters outside of the U.S. and North America? Besides Griffon at BGE, I'm baffled as to what other parks are getting B&M's in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Dont they also fabricate steel for Vekoma and Intamin? I know they used to for Arrow Dynamics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 They do the Americas and Asia. The European ones are fabricated in Europe. Vekoma and Arrow was fabricated by Fabriweld in Clearfield Utah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 ...largely because the EEC tariff structure protects European steel companies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 They do the Americas and Asia. The European ones are fabricated in Europe. Vekoma and Arrow was fabricated by Fabriweld in Clearfield Utah. My bad, I meant the supports, CSF does the supporst for intamin, vekoma, and did do them for arrow, they dont fabricate the track, just the supports.

TheKlockster Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Don't know about that. I have just been watching the plant for a year and a half and have only seen B&Ms and stuff for the UC construction come out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah, the supports on The Vortex were made by CSF. Also, the Eiffel Tower was made by CSF for Intamin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex31 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 With CSF being so close to PKI it only seems fair that we should get a B&M coaster at some point in time. Just think about how cheap they could ship it here.Who knows only time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screamingnight Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) PKI is geting a dive coaster You make me angry! First you say we are getting a SeeSaw 2 made by the horrible Vekoma. Then you say we are getting a B&M dive machine. Make up your frickin mind NOW! Oh by the way its Dive Machine not Dive Coaster.

PKIVortex Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think we should get a floorless. CP doesn't have one and KK doesn't have one. So we should get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamingnight Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think we should get a dive machine because then we would have the ONLY dive machine in Ohio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think we should get a floorless. CP doesn't have one and KK doesn't have one. So we should get one. Oh but Gl has one, and its terribly over rated. Kraken is where its at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Oh yeah I forgot about GL. I rode it when it was Batman Knight Flight. I thought it was a pretty cool ride though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
