Track officially uncovered at Breakers Express

So anyways..

Does anyone remember when Dragster's red and white track started showing up? Everyone was waiting for the top blue pieces because red and white never made sense without blue, right? =P

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red, white, and blue is also the color of the Detroit Pistons: 2004/2006 NBA Champs...

If I remember right dragsters track started appearing about the 2nd week of august

And by October, TTD was 200 feet tall! Activity is happening so early it truly should be a great summer of speculation (arg).

Do not forget Top Thrill Dragster is a Intamin roller coaster.

The Track pieces kind of look a kind of slimar to TTD and MF

Umm.. dude, they need to beat the Cavs first and they seem to be having a tough time doing that as of late ;)

Go Cavs!

Long time reader first post. In the video they did a close up of the track. What was the inch markings for at the end of the track mean. Do all the track parts have them?

I would hope so since TTD and MF are Intamin coasters, and the track that was delivered is Intamin track.

Wait - that's Intamin track? Says who?

Jeff told me on an encrypted Tx while letting me know where to fly my black Apache for the next meeting.

Ahh... Of course he did. What was I thinking?

If this is in fact an Intamin, then all I could think of that it could be that Cedar Point hasn't built yet is an Intamin Mega Coaster. I found that on Intamins website. Another one I could see would be a suspended Intamin but I highly doubt it would be that. I couldnt really find anything to support this being a water coaster in anyway unless Intamin is coming out with a prototype ride.

You mean like the Aqua Trax?

I went to CP yesterday(5-17) on a school trip, and when our bus drove by Breakers Express they were unloading more track. There is now about 15-20 curved pieces of red track. Sorry, no pics, I didn't have a camera.

I do find it a little interesting, based on the 'teaser' signs we've seen, that under AquaTrax on the Intamin website it reads, "And now for something completely different."

I'm sorry...I would like to believe otherwise...but I'm really thinking an Aquatrax will be going in there. Based on the triangular track and location of the footers, that's my best guess. If we were going to see something large (i.e. 500 ft.), I would think that we would have seen some square-shaped Intamin track by now. But, construction has started very early. Bah, this is mind-boggling.

Yeah your probably right, after all this aquatrax clearly doesnt have any track like that ;)

The aquatrax box track (more like "rectangle" track) is kind of narrow and tall. It would be really easy to tell the difference when/if we get box track onsite.

Well based on the pictures of intamin aquatrax rides I have found on the internet, it seems possible that this may be what "project 2007" is, and they may be starting this early since their "aqua" will be frozen for 5 months of the construction season (nov-feb/march)... Of course im hoping that is not what this is as I dont ride rides I get wet on and most people who go to CP with me dont either... I couldnt even get anyone to go on WWL with me at the end of last season and had to ride alone (and I only got 3 drops of H2O on me...) but im not for the water rides...

Although I should add that I would ride "maverick" in protest should it be an aquatrax :)
