So... covering up the track really was just to keep us from knowing... :)

Thanks to the pictures and video that are out there in print and on the Internet, there's really no reason to conceal it anymore.

Thank god for the internet!:)

And RCDB isnt acknowledging this yet because they dont have any facts to work off of.

Are we 100% sure it is Intamin? Because in the video they have a subtitle, "Intamin AG or B & M?"

Hmmmmm red track............what color do you think the supports will be?

It's just a tease. It's an Intamin for sure.

Just going along with the possibility of a new Americana Frontiertown, I'd say maybe white or blue.

I don't think there's any question that it's Intamin.

Does the track look like this?:

Gold. Obviously. ;)

Also, that is a whole lot of absolutely PLAIN intamin track. I can't wait until we get some interesting looking track so we can get an idea of what type of coaster this is gonna be.

At least we know its not a L:TH:B layout. Not that TTD has a bad layout, but we know we're not getting a second one.

So do you think this means Cedar Point might reveal what the ride is semi-early? Not meaning in a week or anything, but like this fall as opposed to next spring?

There is something very sneeky going on here. I don't think that this track is for Cedar Point... Jeff has been saying all along, it will be an Intamin. Cedar Point is revealing track pieces and saying "Oh, you got us, we can't trick you." and on and on. There might be another coaster with this... One in a location away from WWL and the attention is taken away from it. Maybe that's what T&T meant when they said the path always taken may not be the correct choice.

Its intamin track though. It looks exactly like that of MF. Anyways, I dont know if its gonig to have inversions or not. Unless it has alot of verticle loops, that track in the photo doesnt look like it has anything. I can really only think of one intamin looper and that is Colossus of Thrope. Are there any others?

I can't believe some people were/are questioning if its Intamin or not. It's basically slapping you in the face.

The sky is said to be blue, but I continue to believe its green. :)

TTD 120, that was a pretty good one. But that is kind of interesting that that piece of track looks to be curved in the exact same way as some of the track on site. Talk about coincidence.

Edit: Just thought about this; maybe they will have roughly the same speeds at one point during the ride? *** Edited 5/17/2006 12:49:00 AM UTC by BlueStreak64***

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

I don't think that this will change anything. The announcement date is when it is, and that's all there is too it. They evidently decided that it simply wasn't worth covering it up any longer.
