And B&M doesn't have any curved brake runs).


Noticed that too. I've been looking and I can't find a single B&M that has brake run track on a turn. it always changes back to the regular spine for the turn, regardless of whether it's at the beginning or end of the ride.

[EDIT] I think those are for the turn back into the station after the brake run. We are probably looking at a straight-out-of-the-station B&M.


But that's the thing...all turns in and out of the stations on ALL of B&M's coaster don't use this style (that I know of).

The track will get here when it gets here.


I say the 9th just to be different.

(BTW we are now on page 232, the same amount of pages as the Intimidator construction thread).

There was a flatbed positioned next to the track in one picture. Possibly for Holiday worlds track which was sitting behind what is possibly ours. If someone were to grab a picture of the supposed track for us on a flatbed we would have a better idea of arrival. But as of now, it could just pop up one day. (Hopefully sooner than later). Two weeks is not a long time, everyone will know everything soon enough. :D

As far as the teal track that was on flatbeds a few days or so ago, if it was ours it would have arrived by now.
