Only Intamin supports have those things that stick out of the bottom.

I beg to differ: http://www.rcdb.com/ig3244.htm?picture=25

I was referring to the "I" shaped ones, but I guess B&Ms have them too. I have seen a lot more "U" shaped ones on B&Ms from the pictures I've seen. Which brings up the question, why do they use an oval cutout in the footer then?

they must be new - TTD doesn't have them. i see that kingda ka does though.

They're definitely not new; Millennium had them.

You put a question mark after a statement... Are you asking if you contradicted yourself? You agreed with me, said you were wrong, said I said they were the same colors, then said yourself they aren't the same color...

????
?????

So do you agree with me they are the same color, or not?

What medicine are you referring to? Am I supposed to be offended? Did you strike one up for yourself on your "arguments won on the internet" chalkboard?

By the way, re: my age and maturity level. I'm 25, study mechanical engineering, have my own apartment, pay bills, cook dinner and feed my cats. But I still laugh at d**k & fart jokes.. My hobbies are riding roller coasters and being in amusement parks for christs sake and you want to try and proclaim I don't act my age...

I was talking with my friend today who was just at Cedar Point Tuesday (6/12/06) and she said while she was riding the train, she saw what looked like a stream around the ride and workers were filling it up with water. Did anyone else see this? This is what she is telling me, I haven't gone yet so who knows.

Hahaha... awesome.

Maybe that is why there is no webcam.

Coastern3rd, what are you talking about? Sorry I put a question mark I really am :D (didn't meen to)

I agreed that they didn't change ID's color because they knew the scheme of Project 2007, never did I agree that the color of ID and TTD are the same because, yet they are similar, they arent.

Please read what I posted.

I am not trying to make you my enemy ;). But you keep coming at me with rude comments. Have fun with your cats :) (thats not meant to be something stupid, I love cats hehe)

Cats make me sneeze.

Alright, enough of the bickering. ;)

Wow - great video - thank you. It's great to see video with audio. One suggestion, speculate more like you did with the heartline roll track.

OK, So many of us feel the new prototype train is a distinct possibility, which posses the question: Why are they starting so early? The train doesn't rotate like X, so there really isn't anything new to test. Could this be a high long ride like MF, with a significant portion of track low to the ground?

I hope we have something that runs real close to the ground...It gives a better perception of speed (kinda like the alternating colors on TTD)...and from what it looks like, it seems like thats what we might be getting...

....And you left me in suspense with your post. :(

Jeff, nice pics man, I have the identical ones ;) . What time did you take them on Wed? I was there taking them at about 7PM.

So that's who I saw taking pics there!

Jeff, were you spying on me? LOL If there were two of us than yes it was me and my son Trevor. What time were you over there? And your lucky I didn't have Walt's e-mail address in my phone or I would have beat you getting those pics posted. ;)

I think it was sometime around 6:45ish. There were two other people there, and my girlfriend said "Look, more enthusiasts!" :)

LOL, thats funny I was so engrossed in what I was doing I didn't even see you guys.

Looking at the pictures, it looks like we will see some serious twisting and sharp turns. http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=4032
Look at the one on the far Left and tell me what you guys think.

That definatly looks like a piece of track used in an inversion or a very sharp turn. I'm not saying it's going to be a mega-looper so nobody go crazy. It just looks like this ride will go upside down.

There is another one there, I can't remember if I got a pic of it, that twists just over 90 degrees and has an elevation change all in one section of track.

whatever it is...this ride is gonna be crazy...hopefully it goes pretty fast therefore making the craziness...well, even crazier lol :)
