Picture of Steel on footers....

Yeah, I saw that too. But I can't tell what it is.

Those look like some sharp turns in those pictures. I'm hoping that it'll still be over 250 feet, and predicting that it'll be under 300...about 265 feet. (I really hope it's tall).

Wicked Twister 90--
At first i thought, it may be stiars for the lift hill? But the more i look at it, i have no clue what it is..

Ok one thing that im noticing already is how massive these supports are for this banked turn. Makes one think that the train will be exertign so much more force outwards in this turn than in millenium forces. Only ways to get more force are a heavier train or a faster train...

pointXtreme or themeparkreview

Point Xtreme

It does look like the stairs for a lift, or breaking point in the ride. Ex.=Mantis or Raptor.

by the way.
I tried PointXtreme for a long time and there site isn't working.

Thanks. *** Edited 7/19/2006 8:51:16 PM UTC by DrunkinMonkey***

And TPR. We are actually sharing updates between the sites.

I'd say the train will be traveling at a fast rate and will enter the turn which will be a sharper turn over how the MF turns are wide swippers, so this puts more force on the corner.

We don't know the type of train yet, so this part of the equation cannot be judged yet.

:( where are the tall supports?

I dont no if I cant post this link but its on rcdb.com. Anybody ever seen a support like this in the vary top left? http://rcdb.com/ig3570.htm?picture=3

Those do look like pretty massive supports. especially the ones BGRooDoG pointed out. I think it will either be an Aquatrax or the Side Flying coaster they are building at PortAventura. That looks like overkill for the bobsled Aquatrax uses. A coaster with seats sticking out from either side would require heavy supports like that one.

An earlier post said they seemed too short. But if you look at that MF picture, you realize that by the time you get the track on top and consider that it's on a angle, that would put the train for a 10 foot tall support about 14 feet off the ground. Plenty of room for 2 or three seats sticking out the side!

i would be happy with either one of those

All I can say is that there are some big support. There bigger the MF.

Because they are basically at a 90 degree bank only a short distance to the ground

"Mini Millie" you must be at least the age equivalent to the immature posters on this board who can't wait till August for an annoucement to ride

Once again, I know there have been so many predictions of an August announcement but is ANYONE certain it will be August?

That would be pretty cool since it's my son's middle name:).

Yup, you would be riding on your shoulder, close to the ground. Cool. The Aquatrax does that, even closer to the ground.

wow, i would like that but i would also like it tall..
