CONFIRMED! B&M for WOF in 2006

Whoah... calm down bud.

I wasn't referring to anyone specifically by talking about 'playing the skeptic card.' I was just more in awe that here (while we're still counting page #s anyway) on page 5, there was still debate on the type of coaster WoF's invert is. That trackspotting was genuinely offered up as 'a handy guide,' not just to you, but to anyone... as a resource, in case you or anyone else was unaware of its existance. So please, I don't appreciate you tearing apart my post when it meant no offense to you in the first place.

Good to see Vu is more reliable this year, tho I haven't seen it run there yet ;) Maybe I will hit it up next time after the second best ride in the park, Viper.

To clarify....I am not upset in any way, shape or form if this is an invert. I just thought a flyer would be unique to the area, as well as to CF.

I am hoping for a very long, fun, intense, ANYTHING!!!!

Fever I really enjoy the Simpsons. It's just a shame that I am starting to LOOK like Homer.

Those pictures are just a massive publicity diversion. The *real* coaster is an Intamin Rocket of record breaking proportions.

;)

Ha! The peeps over at coaster force are calling it a Floorless! LMAO.

The paint job (white stripe) does seem a bit odd but I have a feeling that it will look a lot better once the ride is up.

I wonder if they'll leave a majority of the ride in the service road valley or if they'll take it up on to the hill. The color scheme will really stand out when you're driving into the park.

The rumors over the last couple of years were also right about the location "Cedar Fair always likes to put the invert up in the front of their parks".

I still can't believe people are debating what kind of B&M this is. When will people listen to us, Swoosh?

I have no idea, we have been right on so many projects already this season (and last) that you would think they would learn. I mean seriously - we were the ones that said PowderKeg was S&S and the list goes on. God people listen to us - it is a freakin' inverted.

Matthew, you so funny. ;)

So...the White Stripes *are* going to come to the Grand Opening? ;)

You should be happy Swoosh, you COULD get John Michael Montgomery... :)

While this is great news for people living in kansas, us up here in michigan are bummed. I wonder if michigans adventure will ever get a new ride/ expansion?

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

John,

There are small differences in B&M track depending on the styles. I believe floorless (and standard sit-down for that matter) as well as stand-up track is the same. Inverted track is nearly the same but the cross ties are a bit different than the common sit-down track. Flying coasters have track very similar to inverteds but the actual rails are larger.

But what about Hypers, Sean?;)

Why are people still contemplating what WoF is getting next year? A B&M Invert. Named Patriot. You heard it here last, folks.

You do realize that WOF is in Missouri, right? MiA will probably never receive a large coaster again as the ROI is just not there. I would imagine that MiA in the near future might see a consolidation of their kiddie rides into a Camp Snoopy area and that will make room for future flat ride additions. Also you will eventually see the addition of a rapids ride as the park is missing one. I don't see any large coasters in the near future, but CF:LP has surprised us in the past. However from a business stand-point, it would not make sense or do MiA any justice to add one at this moment in time

It says inverted.

Does anyone know what *type* of B&M WoF is getting?

I didn't see it anywhere in this thread, and I've read it top to bottom...twice!

Thanks!

OMG I have a new sig!!!

No one really knows until the announcement but most people on this and many other sites think it will be an inverted.

Oh, thanks!

That sounds like it could be a good ride! I wonder if it'll be extremely similar to Talon...I really do like that coaster. Maybe just a few subtle changes but that's it, then I'd be super happy! :)

Are you being sarcastic? lol

Joe's never sarcastic.

This could go on and on.

I just hope they use 3DVIP to do the animation...
