Also why are they drilling way over here?

Each of those stakes with the pink ribbon is where a (supposed) footer will be. They actually extend much farther to the right of where your picture shows. They haven't even begun to touch that area yet.

Yup. Now, I'm very thankful for the people contributing their time to make the pictures with the station, brake run, transfer track etc. But, there are several places with markings for footers they are leaving out. This thing can't be graphed quite yet. We have a good start, but we should wait until more holes have been dug because there are footers we are leaving out. I think there is much more of a layout to this coaster and I also believe we will get a splashdown...

P.S. Wow, you guys stay up late.

lol wow I wasted my time ^ there

SO I REALLY HOPE it goes under the bridge like after burn does. I also hope its UNIQUE so its not compared to another coaster. I hate when they build the same coaster in multiple parks. Not saying this hyper will be the same but I dont even want it to be alike another.

First, Top gun doesnt go under a bridge...it "takes the tunnel"...

Second, name one...I mean ONE coaster that isnt compared to another coaster...

Third, how can this hyper be any different than any other?

Forth...

Naming a few coasters here...
1. The Beast
2. Rock 'N Roller coaster
3. ....Son of beast! :] er, it couldn't be compared to any other coaster BEFORE they took the loop out. Oh well...

For the record there is a B&M Mega coaster that has a tunnel/bridge. Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America was built the year before Goliath at SFMM and features a first drop into a tunnel, which one could argue is a bridge because the exit for Viper walks over top of it.

Can't believe I'm doing this.



You get the idea.

Two of the rides you named are terrible, and one of them (Rock 'N Roller Coaster) has multiple clones. Personally I just want a great ride. It's a safe bet that it won't be an identical clone of anything, so I'm not sure what more you can ask for.

Wormy.

Yeah, looks right, pretty much a straight back bunny hops to the final brake run, methinks. I thought that area was a bit further out.

[Coaster Punk]

To me al hypers that I have looked at our pretty much the same thing!

sorry but Goliath at SFMM isnt a B&M its a Giovanola coaster.

Here's what I think the general layout will be. Pardon me I'm not a master at Microsoft Paint!

I will say that looking at the footers close together near that 'white bread bag' building it does appear that it would be the station therefore the way you have this marks makes sense. I hope you are wrong though because it bugs me that we have all of the cleared area on the north side of this assumed station/lift hill area. One thing Carowinds is good at is placing the coasters over the pathways, exits and entrances. This best seen with Cyclone, Afterburn, Cobra and Nighthawk. Assuming that we are not going to get a splash down, or better yet, a bridge flyunder, it would be awesome to get a Bizarro (SFNE) style of 'spaghetti' finish in the clearing area before it heads into the station as opposed to simple bunny hops straight into the station. Therefore the entrance and exits paths would really a part of the ride as opposed to the ride being all in the parking lot. This will be a huge and popular ride. It will have at least two and maybe three trains but despite this, the lines will be long. It just makes sense to have the entrance path wind it's way through the coaster instead of you being in the park and not being able to see anything but the tops of the largest hills. Again, as much as the diagram makes sense, I do hope it is wrong. Not my favorite choice.
