Track Spotted in Ohio

I was driving to work yesterday and I saw two flatbeds trucks with four total sections of BM track. Now the track looked like the same shade yellow as BKF at SFWoA. The track was headed North on I271 which means it was headed towards I90. I couldn't think of any new B&M's going up in the north east. Any suggestions? None of the track was straight it was all twisted track, like it would be used for a heartline or a corkscrew.

I have a feeling it is for Le Vampire (Batman: The Ride clone I believe) at La Ronde in Montreal. Le Vampire happens to be yellow as well.

Yep, that makes sense. Is that the right route from the fabrication plant to Montreal?

That would make sense. If they were trucking it all the way up it would be up 71 to 271 to 90, and across New York, then up that north-south freeway (number escapes me) toward Montreal.

Well BKF is supposed to be fixed up with the corkscrews. I thought it was getting a new wheel assembly though for a smoother ride through them.

At least I dont call a vertical loop a "loopdie-loop"!

That makes no sense, RememberIdora. Sounds like a crazy rumor. There is no problem with BKF other than too infrequent wheel changes and a little lack of TLC.

Dan,

That was probably heading to La Ronde. If I am not mistaken, La Vampier does use those colors. The track has been spotted heading around the I-270 outerbelt around Columbus also.

Sean (who wonders if he will ever see B&M track heading back DOWN to where its created?)

It probaly is Peabody. I wont tell who told me that. "They'd be spanked" lol

Its must be, cause I didn't see any track for the flat spins or Zero G roll when I visited the construction site last month. Vampire is yellow, with purple supports.

I've got a feeling that the trucks were headed to La Ronde. That would make sence anyway. Le Vampire is yellow also.

That would be 87, or as Upstate NY folks call it, "The Northway..."

It is a B:TR clone, execpt it is a mirror image. (Drops to the right instead of left, everything else follows suit)
