Yes I hope it is an animation from our friend Keith at http://www.3dvip.com/ .. they have done pretty much every major Cedar Fair and Six Flags addition in the past 5 years, perhaps longer. In fact if you don't go with them you will just look silly. (See the Griffon animation from when it was announced.. just terrible..)

Some of the old timers (lol I'm an old timer) may remember their work as Badnitrus first hosted by Danimation then Coasterbuzz. The site still exists here: http://badnitrus.coasterbuzz.com/.

EDIT: Just found the Sheikra one.. and holy crap it makes the Griffon one look AMAZING. LINK. C'mon Busch get with the program.

Hahaha JamminJ, I can't believe somebody else around here still remembers Danimation. That was my first roller coaster site, and I credit (blame) it for much of my subsequent fascination.

The first started with a B, and the second with a D. Continue the pattern and you end up at F. So I thought about what a cool hyper with a name that starts with F could be like! I thought of Fireball. Red Track, Black supports, Flame design (V shaped) trains that light up at night so you can see it streak across the sky like a real fireball, and it could be heavily themed. I think that would be cool. Not saying that is what they are going to build but I just thought I would share an idea I thought of!

Those are safety rails that they put around the hole when they are drilling the footer so no one walks into the drill.

I could definately see them being there just because its "news." I mean I think it would make a great story I guess.... I wouldnt even be surprised to see it on the news a few days prior just to get more people to go....
