The salmon track doesn't look big enough to be dive coaster track. I'm 95% sure that the brown and silver track is heading to Sandusky and I think it will have silver supports.
I thought the "salmon" and the "brown and silver" colored track was the same track and people just don't know exactly what color it is from the pics. The other track at the plant in clearly red and I thought there were only two types there.

Efteling won the contest for best themed dive coaster ever. Game over.
The backstory video for this is so good, too.
Wow, you guys weren't lying. If Cedar Fair would give a quarter of the effort these guys do, I would be overjoyed.

Well, Efteling is a theme park and the ride has extensive theming and rooms you enter before you even get on the ride, complete with characters that make up the story. I wouldn't expect Cedar Point to theme a ride like that, and unless you fully theme a ride, why bother? Put more money of the budget into the ride and make it better.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

The new track is definitely dive machine track, I have zero doubt about that. There are other pictures around that show the track sections sitting in front of an SUV which gives you a much better idea of its size.

I know, but a guy can dream about the potential that a dark ride could have, as futile as it may be....

It seems the salmon colored track is unrelated at this point. It's a nice color for a rollercoaster, but like others have stated, too close to the countless red coasters they already have. Plus it doesn't seem to be a diver coaster type track. The brown seems to me like its clearly a dive coaster. I believe that the color (once again cool for a rollercoaster), is too close to the color of Rougarou. I'm not sure why Cedar Point would want two orangey coasters side by side. They seem like cool coasters for other places, but I'm not sure how either of them would relate to the Valravn theme.

Honestly Rougarou never even popped in my head when I first saw the color of the track. I think it is very unique compared to the other coasters in the park.

It is a solid brown. Brown and silver doesn't look anything like orange and teal.

Wow. Are we really going to debate colors of things we aren't even sure are going to be erected at Cedar Point?
As long as it isn't another red or blue, I don't care what color it is.

Looks wide enough to be Dive Coaster track. Why would B&M track going to China be made in Cincinnati?

B&M track for china has previously been manufactured there.
OK - my bad. I thought there was a plant in Europe. That's got to be some expensive shipping costs associated with coasters out of US.
