SFWOA TRACK and SUPPORT sighting!!!

Is there already footers for there new coaster? Cedar Point has already poured footers and clearing taking place, there has been no track or other pieces spotted around the area.

Where would the track have originated? Is it built in the U.S. or overseas? If it was coming from Europe, why would it be heading Eastbound? Wouldn't it have arrived in the country somewhere on the eastern seaboard? Just trying to put all the pieces together. Good job with the sighting and ID. Although I was hoping for a B&M purely on the notion of more variety of hypers/gigas in Ohio/Pitt area, a Intamin will always be a welcome addition in my eyes.

I'm not very familiar with the wildlife side of Six Flags, but it's possible that they have a large enough building there to store track pieces over the winter, unlike Cedar Point, who uses parking lots for short term storage. It's amazing that with the amount of time that's passed since SF got their clearance for a 200 footer, they're already receiving track pieces. Now I'll have to divide my time between CP and SFWoA when it comes to watching for footers and construction :)

It will not be a SROS clone. The coaster is custom, since they have to fit it in the area they are building in.

And if it was Morgan I wouldnt complain, Im just saying I would take B&M/Intamin over it any day.

Support spoting is one thing, but track is something different. Intamin supports in particular look like lots of things but track is very distinguishable. I am very anxious to see these photos.

So, were these trucks spotted anywhere close to SFWOA? Photos of the pieces on SFWOA property would be the ultimate proof that this is what they are getting. Since no footers have been poured, I find it hard to believe that track is already arriving. But, they could be storing the track until the footers are poured. Normally there is at least some work in progress before the pieces begin to arrive.Coaster footers in general and especially hyper footers need a while to cure before supports can be placed. Also could the track and supports be heading to another SF park in the Midwest? I know that SFSTL is supposed to get an Intamin hyper soon but the proposed colors werent red and blue. MIA is also do for something big. Also, this could be the next CP coaster addition.

So the plot thickens!!!!

I'm glad it's not B&M Because on average we all know they produce only 3 or 4 rides a year in the US market...
What? B&M produces as many rides as are purchased by the parks. "We" don't know nothin'.

do we know for sure that it's a hypercoaster? It said 200 foot tall coaster right? What about a 200 foot Xcelerator (sp?).

xcelerator is 200ft!

I hope it isn't like Xcelerator. I want a normal, traditonal, Intamin kick-ass airtime-full hypercoaster. I can't wait for the pictures of the supports to be developed. I think red Intamin supports would look pretty cool.

If it was box-style Intamin track, it could be an Impulse, hyper, or rocket coaster. All three use the box-style. It is early to be sending track pieces to the site. However, Intamin could be really busy and need to get track pieces shipped so that they can continue with other projects. Lots of speculation right now, my choices for the park its going to are either CP, SFWOA, or MIA. We will just have to wait and see. Next time someone sees a truck with track, follow it to its destination. A few hundred miles out of your way wont hurt ya, :-)

With the newfound sense of patriotism over the last 6+ months since 9/11, you guys are forgetting about a superhero who at this time would be perfect for a coaster....CAPTAIN AMERICA! :)

Hey Viper, you could just follow the driver til he stops and then just ask him! Of course, 100 miles might come first...

But again, Captain America isn't a DC property, and therefore a Six Flags park isn't going to get one...

Maybe they are shipping early because they are going to spend alot of time highly theming the area where it will be constructed.

I would like to see a SF park get an Intamin rocketcoaster themed to "The Flash".. yellow track with red supports...that would rock hard!

Theme parks will NEVER be the same!

First off, can we safely say that it won't be a Superman coaster? At first, I thought that it couldn't, simply because you can't have two coasters themed to the same super hero. Then, I thought about SFGAd's Batman: The Ride and Batman & Robin: The Chiller.

Then again, I think a wildlife name is a lot more likely, as it is on that side. Something that resembles 'Viper', 'Iron Wolf' or 'Roar' (just because those are the only animal themed Six Flags names I can think of...) But not necessarily any of those.

It'd be sort of cool if it were Viper, maybe with green track, but I guess that's out of the question.

What about Poseidon or neptune themed coaster? You could envolve alot of titles from the names. I like the name from IOA's poseidons fury for a hyper coaster.

Its probably going to be Goliath or Titan.

hey guys, this is all interesting infomation...

Hopefully it isnt a impulse thing, (even know we already have S:UE) or anything else. I would want a traditional coaster. But anyway anyone know when or think they will annouce this to the public?

Thanks, Eric

The supports that I saw didn't look like those found on any of the Impulses out there right now. I'm going to pick the photos up after work and am hoping that I will have something to share with all of you :o)
