I gotta say all this speculation gives a new meaning to "CSI" (Construction Site Investigation) - trying to predict what the ride will be like by looking at all the parts, what type of track there is, what's already built, etc. Anyway, here's what we have so far:

Yellow tower up, but going to go higher b/c big yellow supports are still in staging area and construction site. Solid red track on one side of tower, red & white pieces on other side, this will probably be where trains will launch up the top-hat at max speed. Lots of grey supports near ground level in two parallel lines. More twisted track and up curving track sighted, probably for top-hat. No track sighted that curve left or right (for those not in the know, the two rails w/ stripes painted on is where the trains will ride). The only left/right curving track I've seen is light-duty (non-boxed) track, probably for transfer or return back to loading station.

This leads me to conclude (so far) that this ride will be L-TH-B. Still not known if the top-hat will be inverted or not, but I hope it will be inverted (going over the top), as I want air time while seeing the ground far below.

ThrillSeeker, Do you know what those yellow & white hydraulic arms are for? Also, is that a parts list in PICT0161 (1st pic on 2nd page)? If you could get a better picture of that, it could be a big clue on the scope of this ride!

Troika Troika Troika?

The white and yellow arms are off of troika, they dont have anything to do with the new ride. I just took a pic because they have been painted. Yes that is some kind of parts/packing list in that picture.

Cool...I can't see CP repainting Troika just to get ride of it. So I expect to see a fresh Troika next year. Make me happy since I like the ride.

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead
