Anyone see the Screamscape report (with video) of the supports being loaded back onto a truck?
The video is mindnumbing, so if someone has the patience to watch it all and let us know exactly what goes down, that'd be cool.
Seems weird, I suppose.
Oh, is that all it is?
Well, that's a strange 2nd chapter to the KD 2010 coaster story.
Uh, do you think the park would roll out its cranes and people for something they weren't expecting?

That makes entirely too much sense. I think they unloaded the parts to close the park because they didn't want the competition.

So the story here is, "The park moved the pieces."
And it took an 8 minute video to convey that?
Gonch, the video is mostly just of the land clearing and trying to track down where a tractor might have gone within the trees. The majority of it has nothing to do with the parts that were delivered after it's confirmed the parts are being reloaded onto the truck.
An "employee" said the parts might have belonged to Carowinds, but they don't know why KD would have unloaded them in the first place if they weren't for their park. The video was just speculative and then mostly of the land clearing.

I saw it just as I was getting ready to head out the door to get the kids. I started watching, but it seemed to be going nowhere fast. Skipped ahead once or twice and still saw nothing of interest. Had to go and still saw nothing of interest.
Not being lazy (for the most part) just didn't have the time or patience for it.
Thanks, Carrie.
KD's new coaster, if using a launch system, will be the tiebreaker, kRaX.

I remember when I went to Cedar Point in 2006. There was Maverick track and supports outside of our room at Hotel Breakers Express. Therefore, this leads me to believe that the track is being loaded and unloaded somewhere close to KD.
It's not like they are shipping a box of twinkies to KD (don't ask me why I said twinkies). Its a coaster for crying outloud. There is no possible way they sent the pieces to the wrong park.
Has anyone checked behind Grizzyly? I heard they were planning to move it behind the turn around after the first drop...

I'll take your word on the new coaster not being launched. I am actually quite happy about that.
Maybe they'll name it Diamondbackinator.

^^^That makes no sense since they could've done that in the first place instead of unloading in the parking lot.Don't forget they do have a maintenance area that's visible from the tower & that's where some of american & el dorado's parts were stored at when they first came into the park during the off-season.
