New ride... place your bets!

Coasterfreak, I don't blame you for not reading all 34 previous pages of the thread, but a few pages back, someone said that yellow Intamin track was seen on its way to the park.

-----------------
At the turn of the Millennium, there were signs.

Yeah, now that I look at Medusa's track it does look yellow...On America's Greatest RC Videos, it looked greener to me...oh well.

I have a feeling that the coaster or whatever it is is going to be huge. It has to be. I know the footers are strategically placed in an odd direction. I wonder what it is.

But I have a feeling that it is big but it is going to be fun to ride. I'll keep my ballcap in the car, ;-)

With track confirmed in the park, could we be seeing pictures of the ride rising above the Cedar Point skyline anytime soon?

Probably not too soon...  I have a feeling that they are not done with the footers (well I know that they are not completely finished with the existing ones), then they have to put in supports, then probably track, then station.  But who knows with all the unanswered questions.

Do any of you have an idea why the second footer from the left is significantly longer that the 5 others lined up beside it? It really stands out...the only ones bigger and the giant footers on the end presumably used to support the towers.

VertiGo, he wrote the link incorrectly.  Here is the correct one.  http://www.thepointol.com/images/2002/5.jpg , it is the second footer from the left side of the photo.  And it does stick out. :) I don't know why, though.

I need a new computer!

Two words people... Tower supports...

Every Intamin Impulse has the same set of larger footers...

The second one from the left is larger than the other smaller footers, but not nearly as large as the 2 near disaster transport, which as Rob said, support the towers, but I haven't a clue on that particular one.

Any word about the wood for the boardwalk? What do you think will make this coaster better than the rest? I hope they do the boardwalk it will be a great addition.

Hey...we've known of yellow track for  while now :)

We'll find out later.......................but howcome every person here knows that there is yellow track there?  I still would love to see that in a nice photo!  I think that it would be sweet if it had the spiral (300-400 feet tall), then did a 90 degree drop and continued to be a full circuit coaster.  Anyway...................page 36 is just around the corner!

Jeff just posted that "there's nothing to see", so could this be no yellow track? I wonder where RanMan's friend gets his info.

If memory serves me correctly, arn't all the computers that run pulse coasters underneath the platform?  Eitherway on S:UE the ride platform is pretty high off of the ground.  On one side of the platform is the line (which travels underground and wraps around) and on the other side is some doors and a large grid of metal grating.  Do you think CP is going to build up like this or put the computers somewhere else?  I havn't seen pictures of the S:UE footers but it seems like the footer for the loading/unloading platform should be more like a basement foundation.

The V2 rides have the equipment rooms next to the ride, I believe.
