This is what I found for the F1 coaster. Strange how the trains remind me of Hypersonic.

That's a totally different ride on a different continent. That coaster is made by S&S.

I'm wondering why no one has suggested Maurer Söhne.

This track looks exactly like the track for Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit with the exception of the double spine.

It's Intamin.

I'm new to the "Coaster Detective Crew". I tried.

parts you labeled "B" look identical (male/female?) but "A" do not match from one photo to the next (imho)

During the hurlfest Q&A it was noted by those in attendance that John Pagel stated that KD isn't looking to add another launched coaster right now so this one will most likely have a lift.

OK, I'm not really up on all these types of coasters. I've seen a lot of posts regarding the launched coasters. Do coaster geeks like them or not?? I understand rides like Top Thrill and Kinda Ka needing launch for their height. Are their more issues with them causing them to go down more? Or is the issue that KD just has a few now and those fans want something different?

It's not an issue of money but rather unreliable technology.After the disaster that was hypersonic the park,and the locals simply aren't interested in yet another low capacity,short layout launched coaster right now.

They started to drill holes for the footers and rebar has been spotted next to Flight Of Fear so footers should start going up any day now

Yeah I saw that in the photo update...that rebar is huge so it looks like these footers will go pretty deep into the ground.

Can you provide the link to the photos? I looked all over the KD fansite and couldn't find them.

I got you covered: http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8007/picture1xbo.png See the rebar in the middle of the picture laying on the ground?

That is pretty massive. This could be quite a ride they are putting up.

I checked with 7 of my sources (was only gonna check with 5 but I had to make sure...) And you are correct, it will be quite a ride.
