Track spotting in NY - CoasterBuzz

why would a SFWOA track be spotted in NY? its probably for SFGADV. we all know SF themeing and the colors seem like a BM flyer to me.

But i really dont get track being spotted in the Westchester area, thats a little strange. Which leads me to this, Are coaster tracks ever shipped overseas? If so, that would make some sense.

Once again, trucks that size are not allowed on the Garden State Parkway. From that area of NY that is the only way to get to the NJ turnpike, unless of course you go into NYC and take one of the tunnels, but guess what, no trucks there either. I cant see a truck this size, coming from Ohio, going to Ny to take back roads. Besides I am still shaking on putting Superman in Frontier Land. I know its Six Flags but I guess I m hoping they' ll come thru.

Superman Mining Company. lol ;)

I too must agree with astrosgp. Those trailers usally only hold about 2 sections of track. They are huge!

I think sfmm15 is full of it! If you really analyze this information, none of it can be true. Stop trying to be like that Screamscape guy! That's just my opinion.

First off, B&M track is manufactured in Ohio. All of their US installations are manufactured in Ohio. Secondly, if it was going to great adventure, there would be no reason for it to be even close to the Tappan Zee Bridge. If it was going to Great Adventure, it would be seen on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and then the New Jersey Turnpike. Third, at most you can get 2 pieces of B&M track on one truck. And they dont ship both the track and the supports on one truck. Track gets shipped on one truck while the supports are on another. Im not buying this story.

Please write bigger

First of all, he didn't tell us which direction it was going.

Half the time track spottings end up to be buildings.

And if this is true, don't count out Great Escape.

Well, what you saw is not possible. Only 2 track sections at most fit on a flatbed, and they are never shipped on the same truck with supports. Unless this was some type of magical truck that had unlimited capabilities, there was no way to carry that much track.

Ok, I think we all know that SFNE is loooooong overdue for a new coaster and well its obviously going to SFNE.

Im the #1 Canobie Lake Park Fan!!!These are my top 3 coasters:
1. S:RoS @ SFNE 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Cyclone

And if it's true, expect to hear about the new breed of GIANT flat bed trucks... If you saw track for real, seriously think about getting glasses or new lenses for them, no 10 B&M track pieces could be crammed on a flatbed truck. Hell, 10 pieces wouldn't even fit on a flatbed rail car, which are far larger.

Not to mention you said it was very curvy. B&M track generally isn't "very curvy," but rather slightly curvy (if you put a lot of slightly curvy segments together, you get a very curvy structure.) And another thing about very curvy track, you can't stack it, making it even move difficult to put 10 pieces on a flatbed truck.

When he said 10 he was probably exagerating a little bit.

OK I know for a fact he is lying, There are not White Castles in the state of NY ;). Even if it was for SFNE or any other park, it still was in the wrong part of the state coming from Ohio. Wouldnt trucks be on the NY thruway North and not the Tappen Zee bridge, which is near NY. If coming from Ohio they would pass the NY thruway going north before they ever get near the Tappen Zee bridge. Unless of course it was going to Rye Playland or Coney Island

This is a lie. They WOULD NOT be delivering track and supports this early. They would atleast wait until they cleared out land and put footers in. Last year at SFOG, all the superman stuff arrived around october. This is WAY to early.

There are several White Castles on Long Island, so :p

While not B&M track, perhaps he saw some of the Reverchon Mouse headed for Playland in Rye? There was nothing at all on site last week.

Obviously you didnt see the wink as in Im kidding. I see your observations skills have failed you.

white castle in ny?! i didnt know there were any in ny. as for the track if he really did see something, id say its going to great escape, but it seems kind of early for them to be recieving track. there was some mention of a B:TDK type clone going to the park for next season but i doubt it.

it would be nice to see some track laying at the park though since we havent recieved a new coaster in years now

Maybe its for rye playland if it was by Westchester maybe they looked like b&m tracks from where you saw it but wasn't. I don't think he would make it up but he probably made a mistake thinkin about b&m tracks when it was probably for rye playlands spinning wild mouse coaster.
