Unless they are throwing us a curve ball, I really think it is a wing rider after reading day 65. My hope is a launching wing rider. I have a feeling that whatever this creature is called will be the name of the coaster.

Well, we know it's German. We know that the footers are identical to the latest B&M coasters, and it's long. They keep speaking of birds, wings, etc. It just spews B&M Wing Coaster. That's my guess. Guess we'll find out.

Why are so many people convinced that it's launched? I've only been half paying attention to the clues, so I could have easily missed something. I just haven't seen anything to convince me of that.

B&M is a Swiss company. However German is one of the four official languages of Switzerland (according to Wikipedia).

The launch theory comes from the straight line of footers seen on the construction cam.

Clermont Steel has an unaccounted for Orange track that doesn't look like the normal B&M track. Maybe it could possibly be the first LSM for them.

You know what, I take back what I said, I'm not trusting a kid who steals photos online without giving due credit.

One of the photo's is one I came up with.

Rant of the night. Sorry.

Because no rides have brake runs and stations in straight lines.

It's not just him saying it, I'm still doubtful of a launch, but if the Plunge station and splash pool are being utilized, there's more of a chance that the straight line could be for a LSM/LIM. It's not a bad guess, but it may not be the right guess.

Lift hills can use a straight line of footers as well.

B&M isn't the only coaster firm from a German-speaking country. In fact, it seems that alot of firms are in German- speaking countries. There's B&M of course, Intamin, Mack Rides, Zierer and the defunct Schwarzkopf company. And don't forget that Werner Stengel also in Germany. Outside of S&S and Rocky Mountain Construction, it's hard to think of any other steel coaster firms out there.

Regarding footings/ footers, it's more about the size and spacing and not about the style. But, even this could be deceptive as the footing design could vary location to location.

We'll have to wait and see.

P.S. sorry Chance and Premier Rides, I forgot about yall

You hardly ever see a Vekoma custom layout, unless it's Disney.
