Track officially uncovered at Breakers Express

am i the only one that counts TWO coasters at CP that are red? TTD and mantis. I guess iron dragon COULD be considered red, but it looks more orange to me. magnum is orange too.

but, the supports of mantis and iron dragon don't make it look red. TTD definitely is red. :)

i'm betting the supports for this new one will be white or blue. :)

OK... I'll tell you what the ride will be...

It's going to be an Intamin roller coaster with red track.

I feel so much better now.

^ That clears things up.......

Thanks for the pics cedarpointr0x and Walt. Any updates about the Project 2007 really make my day.

Soooo... does this mean CP gave up covering the track?

I thought it was wise to keep it from fading in the summer sun. No one likes bland colors on coasters.

But couldnt that be seen as an improve in a way. It could give it an affect that would fit right in to the FT theme.....though if they wanted that affect, they would have already had them painted like that.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no....

Intamin uses different kinds of track and I'm not seeing any! This has to be replacement track for Mean Streak it makes perfect sense!

Mean Streak has curves, sure every other ride at the park except for Wicked Twister has curves, but that track looks like it's for Mean Streak. This is because CP still hasn't taken delivery of the B&M Flyer track.

Say it ain't so!

Glad to see that they finally gave up covering the track... :)

I get the impression that Cedar Point is transitioning the Frontier trail into more of a "Main Street USA" theme... The new flag banners, the red white and blue skyhawk, the flag canopies over the skyhawk queue line, the red track for this "maverick" of a ride, I can see white, blue, or white and blue footers for this ride to add to this change in themeing...

So the trail will still have an 1880's theme with a touch more americana to it, or so I think... we shall see

"Abraham Lincoln's Wild Ride"

The red white and blue flags banners have been around the park for years. I know for sure TTD sported some back in 2003.

But, usually they don't put them out until slightly before July 4th.

::Shudders:: As long as the animatronic Abe Lincoln from the Hall of Presidents at WDW doesn't become the character who spiels in the station... that would be far too frightening to see up close.

Darn, and I was hoping for a Vekoma...

Im tired of red track. Haha, they could be a little more creative with the colors of their roller track.

Next track spotting it might be blue then white. Maybe it is a red, white, and blue ride. They will call it Dallas Mavericks: 2006 NBA CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!

The red track will be the blood of the Piss ONs woops i mean Pistons
