Roller Coaster History Timeline Added to Construction Fence

Here's the official destination for the salmon track by the way.

Looks like it's not going to China after all. Where did you find those pictures though?

Umm...Hot Go Park is an amusement park in China.

Those pictures have been around since May, thus the reason people have been saying the red/salmon track is headed to China for a new wingrider at Hot Go Park. It is definite, not speculation.

Whoops, I must have gotten confused when I saw USA on the label.

Yeah, I just found the pics on some random site recently. They've been around for a bit, but I thought I'd share them nonetheless since some people haven't seen them.

The painting area of the plant is enormous. If you look at this video at 7:16, you can see the area with some primed, and some fully painted GateKeeper track sections.

I've been doing some thinking on this topic. In my opinion brown/grey coaster colors scream the name of something like Centurion (chariots, etc) before those colors would make any sense for something like Valravn. Again, I think the black/purple color combo would be more suited for CP's ride if it is fact to be named Valravn. Another thing to think about: why would these brown/ grey track pieces be manufactured for CP when there aren't even any footers, construction going on yet at the park? Gatekeeper's track pieces weren't even starting to be painted until months later, after many footers were well under way. I don't think these pieces down in Clermont are heading for CP, at least not for a ride named Valravn. Centurion somewhere else, yeah maybe. Just my 2c.

It's almost a certainty that these pieces are headed to CP, and cedar fair doesn't own the centurion trademark anymore.

Why do you think it is nearly certain they are for CP? While I am certain they are indeed track pieces for a dive coaster I still do not know what dive coaster, nor where these pieces final destination will be. I'm just curious as to what makes you certain as I still have doubts for sure, even though I wouldn't bet against it.

No other park in the world has announced a dive coaster, and there aren't any other rumored dive coasters.

CPFan1976- I posted it in another thread and you might have missed it, but Cedar Fair's patent for the "Centurion" name has been put on suspension because of another patent filed before Cedar Fair tried to do theirs. Even if the other company gets the patent, Cedar Fair could still obtain the same name if the patent lawyer guy decides that the products are different enough that they won't be easily confused, but with those cases you really never know. So for the time being, there's a decent chance Centurion doesn't materialize and we'll have to go a different direction.

B&M has quite a few projects for 2016. It could be that they want to get this track manufactured and out of the way quickly since CP is so close. Then they can have plenty of time to work on their other projects, such as Mako, that are farther away.

I really don't follow other parks that well, especially the overseas ones so I have no idea what coaster rumors they have. If it weren't for the "memo" about a dive coaster at CP I'd also have no idea what type of coaster was rumored to be headed that way. All things considered I would have to say the likelyhood the new track pieces at Clermont will end up at CP is rather high.

As far as Trademarks go, the names Valravn and Centurion could be for some other Cedar Fair park. Its rumored that the licenses for Intimidator and Intimidator 305 are up this year and wont be renewed, all the Dale Earnhardt merchandise at those stands has been reduced 40% off and staff has even said as much. Either of these trademarked names could be used there instead. I do like the name Valravn and do hope its used for CP though.

To play devil's advocate NO park in the world has announced a dive coaster yet and that includes CP. So while the clues point to Point, we are all assuming here.

^^ Valravn was actually trademarked by Cedar Point, not Cedar Fair so I'd say they are planning on using it at Cedar Point - for exactly what is still unknown though.

On the label it says the country of origin is USA. As in, manufacturerd in USA.

Tony just tweeted this hint for 2016.

Someone asked him for any hints about 2016, he said "Yes, it begins January 1". I'd hardly call that a hint, more of a sarcastic response.
