Why dont I ever see any of this cool stuff when I am on the highway? (probably I live in Wisconsin which is not exactly "on the way" to any cool parks)

We might be getting the lp comet soon. I wish I lived in Ohio!!

From what everyone has said it is track from SFMM's new coaster which is being shipped back to Ohio due to some sort of flaws or defects in manufacturing,so we can all just relax because it isn't heading to SFSTL,SFKK or SFA for that matter.

According to what I've heard apparently at least three track sections had to be returned to the factory because of these so called defects,or maybe,just maybe the driver delivered them to the wrong location,but since it matches the paint on SFMM's coaster so I would assume it's track from the same ride.

That is kinda funny though after all these years of making perfect coasters from B&M that somehow the boys in Ohio managed to mess this one up.

What about Jazzland??

-----------------
Vekomember is from Holland, ishn't zaht veerd?

Jazzland is getting the B&M inverted from Japan. That track was SFMMs. Not sure why its traveling east, but obviously something is wrong with it. But I kind of dont believe something being wrong with the track. Then again...who knows.

I would say it is SFMM Track as the colours give it away. Wonder why it was in St Louis though????

The track has made it back to the fabricators. Though I am just as clueless as everyone else as to why its there.

I thought the supports were magenta? They are blue in that picture.
Man those are some wierd looking supports.

The blue supports in that picture are going to great america, remember, this place makes all the b&m track and supports.

they had two trailers loaded with supports to go to great america

I didn't see any more supports for SFMM laying around anywhere, just more for SFGAm

Do we know for a fact that the fabrication plant in Ohio screwed this up? There could be many other reasons why the track is sitting back in Ohio.

Perhaps there was a change in design at the last minute (this does happen). Who knows? I know I don't and probably most on here don't either.

You're 32 years old and have grammar errors like that? We don't say hi to each other ususally on cbuzz but Helly Fancy! How's it going?

-----------------
The below statement is true.
The above statement is false.

I looked at the track and didn't see anything wrong with it, just some paint missing on the rails right where it would be sitting on those little wooden blocks on the trailers. Nothing written on them saying what was wrong, just "return to sofco" (the fabricators)

Damned Geocities. :(

We definitely don't know it for a fact... just speculation. Everyone doesn't need to be going around saying they screwed track up just yet...

when i was there looking at the track, i saw no signs of a defect. all three pieces of track had been checked and marked on the mating surface that they were ok to be shipped. SFMM wrote the track numbers (#114-116) then "return to sofco" on them. all i can think is that someone read the blueprints backwards and welded the bends the wrong way
Maybe SFMM has decided not to build the coaster!!!
