All i know is that by looking at those little supports i have one element figured out. A 80* banked turn at about 5 feet off of the ground.

Not really, I'm talking more about having two different elements of track going on top of each other. I'm not just talking about possible station and track work, but more actual track over track during the ride.
Hey, I saw it on show where they showed Thunderhead... ;) But I do really think it's a good idea...
And Steve4Hockey makes a good point. That would make the trains from a WindWalker (or whatever it's called) very close, if not in, the ground.

No way man, it can't be like that. You have blue supports in that picture.
You know, i never thought of it that way, but i think DBCP is right. I think we can almost toss out the wingwalker idea. I am not so sure a wingwalker with a clearance palate on it would quite make it on an 80* bank that low to the ground. It would come back with some broken arms... I mean 2x4's.

I cannot remember what the coaster style is called, but you hang from the bottom like your are flying. That would be a great new direction for CP, they have nothing like this.
The supports were not yet on site when he drew that awesome picture. He means that it could still happen, but with tan supports. And I think that would be cool
2008 visits = 38, 2009 = 19, 2010 = 11, 2011 = 14, 2012 = 10, 2013 = 14, 2014 = 14, 2015= 13, 2016 = 11, 2017 = 5, 2018 = 3

Exactly. I made that way before the supports started showing up.
Though I guess I should have put this one up instead.

It will not be an Aqua Trax. How some of you still think this is almost as stupid as the people who think this coaster will be 500 feet tall.

And that comment makes as much since as always saying its going to be a looper.........
There may be 3-4 people on this forum that know what its going to be. Your not one of them, so unless someone says that the coaster is going to go from here Rt 250, dont call peoples ideas stupid
I love Monkeys! I love Monkeys!
So your telling me that from the track that you have seen that a 500 footer even looks remotely possible. Show me an Aqua Trax with twisted track like you have seen. You haven't. Your right calling there opinions stupid was rude. But lets use logic. If you use logic and common sense you will see that it......
Will be a looper. :)

I wouldn't be so quick to think it's not an AquaTrax cp4eva'04... The track means nothing, but there are without a doubt, a great number of similarities to the supports that CP has received.

Twisted track certainly indicates that it could be an AquaTrax to me. The AquaTrax that is operating has a lot of twisted turns, low turns and sharp transitions in it. All the track I've seen indicates this, not inversions like some think.

Logic and common sense points more towards AquaTrax than a looper, if you ask me... ;)

Logic and common sense would actually dictate that this coaster has red track, tan supports and concrete footers.

About the inversion record: The 4D coaster Eejanaika has indeed been placed in the guinessee book for having the most inversions. They count seat rotations, not actual track inversions of which there are 2 (inside and outside raven) and the roll after the inside raven if you want to count that.
I think you better check that again.
Colossus is still the record holder at 10.
And for all that were worried about this, they will never give a 4D coaster the record unless the track actually does go upside down more times than the current record.

Ride on, MrScott!
Will you guys knock it off about the Aquatrax??? we do know it is going to be Intamin.
As for the fly-trough like Thunderhead, I do think that is a cool idea. Better yet, do TWO flythroughs of the station.
