It's like Cedar Fair naming the coaster White Lightning then telling the coaster manufacturer to paint it white and black. This would have been done a few months ago. But all of the sudden at the last minute Cedar Fair decided to use the name Copperhead instead. How much of a waste of money would that be to have the entire coaster repainted? Think about that for a second. There's only one coaster name for this.

and the supposed track is red so what's your point?

^^ If you think the final rendering was done in May, why is there a sticky note in the picture that says 'Revise by 7-23-09!'...?

It could go with white lightning depending on what color the supports are. Also, who's to say that's our coaster? How do you know we aren't getting a Vekoma or Intamin? Like I said, it would be a huge waste of money to narrow down the name of the coaster to one this late. The name was decided on months ago no doubt.

The final design of the logo has to be done by then.

Again, there are footer codes that match the B&M footer codes found on Behemoth, Goliath and Vortex.

Good point. Is there more than one B&M plant? Cedar Fair doesn't match their coaster colors with their names much anyways.

On the picture with the logo, it says 4C and BW. My guess would be 4C means four colors and BW means black and white.

No. I said the final idea was decided upon in May. That fives them about three months to do the renderings, designs, etc. CF had ideas that would fit the (presumably) red track, and then they came up with a finalized in May (probably a lot earlier even). Now, the designer people are coming up with the final design for that idea.

One in Europe, one in Ohio as far as I know. The Ohio plant has been the main one for American B&Ms for a long time. I don't think they ever manufacture American B&Ms in Europe anymore.

On the picture with the logo, it says 4C and BW. My guess would be 4C means four colors and BW means black and white.

Probably correct. 4C probably refers to CMYK.

What about this color sceme i messed around with?

[Diamondback FOF]

It looks pretty sweet, but the colors 'clash' too much the way there are; no blending. I don't like it too much, but hey, just my opinion. Nice job, though.

I think someone is trying to PUNK us... as in Punk'd!

[carowindsman6654]

Why do you think somebody is trying to punk us? Cedar Fair has got better things to do then try and trick a couple of coaster enthusiasts. Diamondback at Kings Island was leaked. Why can't ours be?

[coasternut30]

I have to agree with carowindsman - Cedar Fair has much better things to do with their time than be messing around with us. Also, didnt someone post on here last Fall about overhearing someone at Carowinds mentioning the White Lightning name? Who knows. Quite honestly I dont care what its called as long as its a good ride!
