It's definitely a wire lol
Did CP confirm that or did the Llama tell you? Who knows what it is? You had your guess and I had mine. We will find out hopefully soon.
Wire is a pretty good guess, I'm 100% sure that is not coaster track.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
The wire is coaster track. They're using new technology to shrink people down to microscopic size, allowing the construction of miniscule roller coasters that look massive when one gets shrunk.

But they can't even get Dragster or Maverick open half the time.
SV ruins all other rides.
My guess is that the first image is a sneak peek at the Hexed haunt, while the second image is the Rougarou logo. It has that old spooky map look, and the power lines are there because the ride will take place back in the day where electricity was first being introduced to the West/South. In the middle, where the four back squares are, is the word Rougarou. I bet that as we get closer to the announcement day, Tony will reveal what is behind each of the black squares, one at a time, until on the final day, we get the Rougarou logo. Just my guess.
Arms Down, Head Back, and Hold On!...Arms Down!...Arms Down......
Well I feel like I can finally offer something.....The picture looks to me to be a pneumatic pop out for a haunt. The black lines which some are saying are coaster track and others are saying wire appear to be plastic tubing which carry air. The tubing connects to the silver parts which are pneumatic cylinders.....I worked with these components for years and am almost positive at first glance that's what we are looking at.
No coaster will ever be too fast or too tall!
^^You can even see the plastic quick connect fittings for the air lines. Went out on the shop floor and compared a "T" fitting to the image. Very common.
remember: no matter where you go... there you are.
In the entire blog post I don't think there was even one 2015 hint. I think this was all a Halloweekends tease. But that's just me.

In regards to the my new restraints comment..... New restraints means new trains! Sorry should have been more specific! How can test paint mean nothing? They're testing something for a reason! You don't just put random paint samples on your $12 million dollar roller coaster and that goes for Mantis as well.[/quote
A source told me that it would be impossible for raptor to get new restraints. But I do think there could be a new color scheme or possibly a new entrance. now with mantis I believe they are going floor less 2015 they will have to get new trains/restraints if they go floor less in 2015
I wonder why he mentioned Griffon a B and M dive machine could they be considering adding one in the future they have been rumors that they could. tony also knows the 5 year plan maybe this is on the 5 year plan a really good B and M dive coaster not for 2015 but for the future.

New paint does not automatically mean the entire ride is going to change, especially in Raptors case. Paint peels, the color fades. Everything needs to be repainted at some point. When Millennium was repainted a couple years ago no one went off saying the entire thing was going to change and the were going to make it a launched flying wing invert. And its not like the paint on Raptor is red or some completely different color. Chances are they are just going to give it new paint and hopefully a new lighting package in the future.
I Argree
Quick question, Does any one know who Bob is? Is he the man behind the decorations for HW? Why did tony just randomly throw him into the bog post? Not speculation, I'm just curious to know.

That's how I read it. All of the pictures are Halloween-themed, thus they are this year's new HalloWeekends attractions. Nothing about 2015.. Some things really are what they appear, not hints at next year.
^ Bob sure looks like the sculptor behind the griffon. Again, nothing to see but HW..
Closed topic.
