Magic Mountain's Next Attraction

From what I have read around the net, it appears to be B&M Floorless track... it is a clone, you can probably guess a clone of which one by the amount of space they are building in.-----------------
CCN's forums are now fully operational.
Not really. Most people still can't get the proximity of the boundaries the coaster will be put in. I'm still skeptical of it being a carbon copy of SFMW's floorless because they are in the same state. It would be more logical to have it patterned after the New Jersey one if it were to be "cloned" so to speak.

When you also have B&M track sitting in front of you, oh yes you can... ;)
Trust me, it's not flatrides, although that would have been nice. Like Chris said, we're getting a people eater. Neither a flyer or a wooden coaster fall under that category. SFMM is getting a floorless, and you can thank Arrow and Vekoma for that...

I'm all for a floorless, but I'd really like to see one with a lot of drops and unique arrangement of the standard elements. If they would just throw in two heartline rolls/zero G camel backs on a single B&M, I would be joyful. How about a double Cobra Roll or a tripple corcscrew? Come on, something original, PLEASE!

Like others said, how about it being the biggest Floorless/Looper in the world? IMO it should tie with Colossus for most inversions; 10 or even more. Then it could have two double inversion elements - Cobra Roll, Batwing or Sea Serpent. Hmm, all exist in Cali. I'd like to see a dual Zero-G Roll that rotates the train 720 degrees in one go over the parabola. Yup, it's upright & highest up inbetween rolls.
Oh, for crying' out loud, why doesn't B&M assemble the coaster at their factory then airlift & plop it in the carpark?? :) Well, I gotta admit it's easiest & cheapest to do so.

Origonal? B&M layouts almost always follow the same layout. It's a shame. I'd really like to see something thing new but don't count on it....
Not true. They deliver what the parks pay for. If the parks (ie. Six Flags) don't want to pay for a unique design, then they get a clone. Other chains like Busch have gone out of their way to get custom designed rides from B&M who are more than happy to deliver something unique.
