No, think about this, "Behemoth" a B&M Hyper ,"Vortex" a B&M stand up , "Raptor" a B&M Invert , "Beast" it is a coaster but it could be a "Beast". Ok, now lets think all but one is a B&M, one is a B&M Hyper and one is a hint. Sound's to me a puzzle.

You need some fresh air.

*sigh* C'mon, seriously? No one in their right minds is going to make a puzzle like this so you can figure it out before they announce it :roll: ...(Not that it's a well-kept secret anyway). It's completely random.

On a different note, I've been looking at other coaster designs as well (since it's not absolutely confirmed to be a B&M), and I got to thinking that it would be really cool to have a coaster like Storm Runner. What kind of coaster is that??
Well anyway... I got to looking at the layout of Storm Runner, and if you tweak the track just a bit (you know... add more track), it could vaguely fit in the area cleared off. Maybe not as long as the flags go, but I could definitely see it there.
Crazy, I know. but this topic needed somethin new... :]
What are your thoughts?

Alright so I went to Carowinds on the 4th and had a good time, suprisingly the lines werent that bad. More on that in a future trip report for the trip report section. Now on to the dirt.

Since my last construction update that have put a couple more concrete basins in the ground

Some more shots from the fence

Image

Image

One from the bridge

Image

Alright now on the way to the south gate contruction...man I wish I could read those permits..wow they were cut out of the picture..great..

Image

Markers

Image

Image

Red dot that the picture did not get

Image

EDIT: This has now been confirmed to be a construction trailer to keep tools in.

Image

Edit: This must have been supplied by Rec Warehouse or something cause my friend saw their logo on the card on the door.

Image

He are some shots I have not seen yet on the interwebs, construction all the way at the entrance of south gate.

Image

Image

For my final shot, you really do not get the scope of how big the new attraction will be until you look from this view.

I know, I had to bring a brief pause to the madness! Honesty I think that source code has nothing to do with anything at all.

You noticed that window in the Red Trailer then that tells me that is a Construction Trailer that also serves as a place to store tools. I doudt you will find anything for the coaster in there except some tools and that stuff. It looks like many I have saw at other sites when construction is taking place.

Thanks to you and everyone else who has been taking pics.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the window. I agree it is probably a construction trailer with tools in it.

It's been fun to take the pictures. Much more to come! Thank you all for being so nice on this forum.

Sounds like you are correct coasterdave. I talked to a good friend of mine who is a construction worker and he said construction trailers like the red one you see on site are used to store construction tools so they don't get stolen or rusted out due to weather conditions.
