You're such a genius Doug. Its very interesting that there's just one flange on the top of that though. SOOOOOOOO intriguing.

This is off topic, but this regards the betting pool for the announcement. I'm gonna say August 13th or a little after.

Thanks to those who are respecting the rules. It takes a lot of effort to keep this site going - not to mention the time, stress, and expense involved. I don't think it's too much to ask to keep the traffic here, because when you view our galleries, you support the site. It hasn't been an issue until this week, because we've always had regular updates.

And I'm working on solving the problem at hand, anyway, so just be patient for a little while longer ...

Sorry for asking an possibly obvious question, but isnt the track attached via round connectors? those pieces on http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=4643 have a square connector, what connects to a square connector?


Platinum has it's perks. So does living exactly 97.5 miles from King's Island and Cedar Point

Likely 2-rail, or 4-rail track.

There's flat track in the staging area that has square flanges. New track could arrive with more square flanges too.

So if you wanted to stack two runs on top of each other, you would need 3 sets of footers.

1 for the lower track and two for the upper track, which would utilize a support system similar to the supports in that picture....

Anyone know of an intamin with track directly running over other track in a straigh line?

Whatever this is, it looks to be pretty interesting!

These: http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=4643

Ideas?

IF, and I say a big IF they use the old WWL station for the new coasters station, how would they get footers/supports/track into that small of an area. I would think they would have to dismantle the roof of the building and then reassemble it. I don't think that's something the park is interested in doing. If they're going to dismantle or tear it down, then down is where its going to remain.

Sorry to be a bit cocky, but I think thats what it is.
