Nobody said what the colors are, all speculation. The fact is Cedar Fair likes red track and yellow supports. We are confident we are getting the red B&M track. Just going on history.
As far as Intimidator, I like the name, but not themed to NASCAR. I am thinking personally people connected the name to Dale Earnhardt, who had the same nickname. We'll see what they end up doing. I am not sure that if they theme a coaster towards NASCAR that they are going to draw more of that crowd to Carowinds.

That's identical to the Diamond Back, isn't it?


It's nice that people are referring to my design more now. I feel loved. Speculation is fun, ain't it?

Here's the most recent one, which had already been posted a few pages back:

Whoever said that the B&M red coaster was ours? Heck, who said we were even getting a B&M? :? Oh and footers are being poured at KD. I want footers here. :( They seem to be taking forever with our coaster.

Nobody said it WAS ours.....I said we are "confident". Look at the facts we know:
1) There is some red track at the B&M Plant in Ohio, and it looks like it could be for a hyper
2) There is a huge work area fenced off in the parking lot.
3) If you take the overhead view of the work area, it fits in with other hypers that have been built almost to a T.
4) The codes that are footer location in the lot match exactly the codes that are glued onto Vortex's footers, which happens to be a B&M.

Do we "know" anything?? No. But the signs all point in the same direction. It will be good to see how close our speculation is when the news is released.

To you maybe, but North Carolina is the birthplace AND epicenter of Nascar. If they ponied up the cash for a Nascar license (and used it to their full advantage) I think it would pay off very well, provided the economy as a whole improved.

^ GM just went under... that's the #1 used brand(s) [Chevy, Chrysler, Dodge etc.] used in Nascar, so Nascar is unstable right now as well because of the Automobile Industry. I would hope Carowinds is smart enough not to use a name that could mean nothing in a few years....Plus, Carowinds wouldn't pay Nascar for the name "the Intimidator"... they would pay the Earnhardt Family because thats who it belonged to, not Nascar.
