Lol, a very good one at that, I use Photoshop A LOT and can usually tell when something is Photoshopped. Whoever did that must be like a genius at paint.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, a somewhat belated nice new avatar TTD, it mixes two of my favorite things: rollercoasters and anime.

From what I've seen, that first lift hill area doesn't make any sence, djcreep, it's too low and is somewhat of a waste of space for a lift there due to the way the supports are, they're not angled properly. What I think now, due to footers, other coasters, and that new piece of track we have, I believe that this will launch out in the opposite direction of that picture, up a 45 degree or higher hill, then do some sort of inversion, somewhat like The Hulk at Islands of Adventure.

As for what records this could break, it could be the longest, tallest, fastest, first wingwalker in North America, with the most inversions, as well as set the record for most Intamin coaster's at a park. ;)

Now, back to reality, I somewhat see this breaking either the inversion record, the length record, or the speed record, if it does anything besides be the "-est of its kind". Even if this doesn't break any records, it still will be a coaster with a nice layout that everyone will enjoy.


Ride Count at Dorney Park so far this year:
Hydra: 14 Laser: 3 Steel Force: 11 Talon: 18 Thunderhawk: 4
And that's just in 23 hours!

We need new arial shots soon! It's starting to take shape...slowly but surely. It still looks to me like it could be a dueling coaster, if it's not then i see a station fly through, and possibly some switch tracks which could turn the coaster trains backwards. It's still way too early to guess on an entire layout, but I do like your ideas too....keep em' comin.

There will be no switch tracks.

Well it will break at least one record. Most "Operating" coasters at one park. ;) I guess I'm still perterbed about not being able to ride Flashback and X in 2003.

This is probably wishful thinking... but the new track BGRooDoG posted (http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=4556) seems to have an-ever-so-slight curve to indicate a crest... maybe it will be an LSM lift...

But like i said probably wishful thinkin - the track being half in shade might be playing tricks on me

It's not that I'm afraid to die; I just don't want to be there when it happens

Would they mount LSMs on a curved piece of track? I've never seen that and seem to think that would be a nightmare to "synchronize". But then again, it does look like the launch track on CS.

I had wanted to mention that it has a curve as well, but he beat me to it.

Could it be a part of a lift hill?

Not likely. There are more structural components on a lift piece, as seen here:

Not for a LIM or LSM lift, dj. :)
