I was looking around around 9:55 at nite and i came across this thread that just started. http://www.coasterbuzz.com/forum.aspx?mode=thread&TopicID=44183 Maybe it has something to do with CP only because it's red with yellow turbular track. Trust me i dont think these tracks have been going to Laronde because that doesnt have inversions. I hope this could be a BIG help for the 2007 watch. Hope to hear what CP is getting soon like everyone here.
Bring back Boblo!
It was me i saw the post and i wish some could get a picture of it but most people either 1) don't care or 2) there driving and they can't get there phone out. Seeing that your going to the point in 8 days do you think that you can peek around WWL area and see if you see track? if you can get picture please, for everyone here. *** Edited 3/20/2006 3:21:37 AM UTC by jkoaster***

This is going to sound crazy but I live in the North Canton Ohio vicinity. I was driving along State St and spotted red and yellow coaster track at a shop called Bonsky's sheet metal. I stopped to analyze the track and could identify it as B&M track. I climbed up of the trailor, that had Minnesota plates, and noticed identification stickers that read Six Flags Magic Mountain. I was able to take three pics with my phone and have shown others in the area who said I was crazy. I don't know how to get these on the computer but I will be at CP on the 13th and will glady show anyone who is interested!!
I'm finding more of a reason to believe they're for CP. Just my two cents.

I did see this track sitting at the rest stop on my way home from Dayton. We were going north from the North College Hill vs. Versailles game at the Nutter Center, and one of my friends pointed it out, and I knew exactly that it was B & M track. I tried to get a pic of it on my phone but it was too bright out and you couldn't see anything. However, I will confirm that this is a legit siting and to me it looks like track for Goliath at La Ronde, but thats just what I think. The thing is there was only like 3 pieces of track on the truck, so you couldn't make out what kind of B & M it was or what possible inversion or hill it was supposed to be. But anyways, it was a very exciting experience for me to see track being delivered, hope this helps clear everything up.
When I saw my flatbed with the track on it their was also 3 pieces. It has kinda turned into a joke that tatsu was suppost to be built in Canton for the return of Meyers Lake.
Six Flags Magic Mountian eh?

Would you descibe that track you saw Tim as having the exact same colors that Tatsu has? Tatsu is yellow and red but isnt as "bright" as people have been describing the spotted track.

Yup, I am looking at the pics in my phone now. All 3 were curved pieces without the slight twist like the one in your photo. The flatbed they are sitting on looks somewhat larger as well.
Can you identify if the track is for inverted/flooless or sitdown?
You'd be able to tell by the way the support connectors are positioned and by the way the spine and rail connectors(ties I think they're called) are designed.
Looking at the ties, which one would match to your sighting?

It was definitly for Tatsu. Remeber the sticker on each piece of track has a sticker that read SFMM. The rails on all pieces of track are red and the spine is yellow.
I didn't relise how long I have had these pics saved on my phone. It says I took the pics on Jan 28. The only others notes I can read on the sticker says:
Qty:1
Weight: 8418
lc-f00-te057
I have no idea what the last number-letters stand for. I took a pic of the sticker on the larger piece of track.
If it was that long ago then it would have definatly arrived at SFMM already.....heck it's probably already been attached into the layout.:)

8418... Pounds? Ounces? Grams? Kilometers?
