when I do "PageSource" it says "Vortex" using Firefox
I don't think it means much, seems like it's pretty random

When I do it on the Kings Dominion site is says "Behemoth"
When I do that on Cedar Point or Kings Island it doesn't work

This is the first post I've tried with a photo, I probably am not doing it right, but here's the link to flickr if you can't see it. I was at Carowinds Friday and noticed in the parking lot that some of the markings we assume are for footers are marked with C then a number then a "R" or "L". I haven't noticed anyone comment on seeing L and R together, but here is one that is. It's hard to read the writing at the angle I could shoot, but it appears to be C57L and C57R. The area by the south gate, presumably half way through the ride, goes up 67 if my memory serves correctly

I bet the park know a bunch of coaster dorks are gonna try to crack the code to their website to get the same info they will get in a few weeks/months so they will toy with you. Just as they did with the coaster on canada's wonderland's site...

I went to the park yesterday and a few more of the concrete blocks were installed in the ground and that was pretty much it. However my friend said he could read the card on the door of the crate, he thought it says Rec Warehouse.

Pictures later on.

I haven't been to the park in ages, because I have little time to go, but I'm curious about something: Is it possible to see what the footer marking numbers are where the presumed turnaround will be? I'm curious as to if the coaster will turn left or right, although I'm assuming left from what I've seen so far. I'd also like to know about how far apart the markings generally are.

Just trying to build a mental picture of my own. :)

That is what I was thinking--and if they are, it's pretty hilarious. I wonder what else is "hidden" in the website?
