The webiste will be launched for the new ride the day of coaster shock! U will see logos and more just wait!

You better be right, or I will cry long hours into the night..well morning because ert lasts until midnight...

What are you doing still posting here? You're supposed to be taking update pics.

[BoociferPatch]

I cannot leave till about 2:30-3:00, this will be much easier when I get my licence. Thats right a, senior in high school without a licence! I will be getting it soon though, insurance stuff to work out. Dont worry, I will be taking some soon.

[Wormy]

Relax. There's a "freak" walking around out there right now getting the scoop. You guys are covered for today.

[carowindsman6654]

Oh, I gotcha Patrick. Did Wormy just call himself a freak?

[BoociferPatch]

Even if there is a freak out there, I still want to go get some pictures.

Good to see the boards have literally went to hell in a hand basket while I was in Ohio. Anyway I have a little present for everyone.. with more to come.

Thanks for the pic and the ones to come. I've been waiting for new looks at the track for a while. And hopefully that isn't photoshopped.

Doesn't CF prefer not to use painted rails on their B&M's? if so then I got bad news for ya'll because that red track has painted rails & hence may not be on it's way to carowinds.

It could very well still go to an SF park that has no hyper as part of their 2011 ride additions for the chain's 50th year although that's a longshot right now but it's still something to keep in mind.You could be looking at an intamin hyper,which isn't bad but a giga would be ruled out by KD's 2010 installation & CF does tend to buy rides in bulk so who knows at this point?

Hydra's rails are painted, and so are Diamondback and Behemoth.

Are you here for any other reason than to try and find ways to be a debbie downer?

But yes, SURELY Cedar Fair would never build a hyper coaster with painted rails.

Here's my update, no, no track yet.


The concrete boxes have been moved and there is new work going on.


This shot brought to you by Carolina Skytower.


Something new...


The boxes are over on the right now.


Hello Digger Dan.


Rebar is going in.


I never noticed these markers in the middle of those trees over near the picnic tables.


To give you a better idea.


Dig baby dig.


Now for snooping in the parking lot.


My drill is bigger than your drill.


Guys are prepping the rebar.


More rebar.


And the mysterious red box just turns out to be a supply box, no track inside .


Nothing else is happening down here.


A piece of rebar heads into the park.


More pink flowers I never noticed.

And that's about it for now...

[BoociferPatch]

Nice update! I need to stop by the park and see more.

[b&mcoaster1095]

Excuse me, I'm new to the whole watching a coaster 'construction' thing. What is "rebar" and what is the purpose? Something for supports?

[carowindsman6654]

Rebar goes into the ground and used to support the concrete footers. Concrete is poured into the rebar.

[b&mcoaster1095]

^Okay, so footers should be poured pretty soon?

[BoociferPatch]

My guess is yes, I believe rebar is used for supports so concrete should be poured soon.
