Yeah, I just thought of that too. In fact, I have some in the cubbard. If you've never had homemade apples & cinnamon moon shine, you haven't lived life. So smooth, and it will rock you hard.

But I still don't know why they'd use Morgantown. It's not really notable for Moonshine, although it was the #1 party school in the world for many, many years.

They could have used Charleston or Huntington or Clarksburg or Martinsburg or even Charles Town. I'm really wondering.

WVU is Gold and Blue. Just like Nighthawk. Granted, Many six flags parks are littered with Gold/yellow and blue coasters (Batman, nitro, etc), and CP has how many red and yellow coasters?

But I just don't see that happening right after they painted Nighthawk WVU's colors.

Like I said, that was thinking way out there. :lol: Maybe they just used that city because more people are familiar with it being home to a major university and all.

None of them are big enough plants. At least, they weren't when I lived there. Mostly just mining equipment, and one of them is making parts for the Federal Prison going in a few miles from where I live now. There are a lot of steel mills around WV, but they're smaller operations that make mining equipment.

Besides, I don't see B&M going with them since we know they use another company. But I could be wrong.

From TPR
Just got back from the park and by the Carowinds sign and sky tower there is a box that has many teasers . The crate reads a few interesting things like IZ 12 E nuff" (12E is someone at Carowinds a Cedar Point fanboy O_O) and on the side it has "Lightning really does strike twice" , all letters are in white on the silver crate backing and it revv's and makes car noises. It also states "Do not open till spring 2010". Theres also a shipping label "bull dog shipping" with "thinking Big really Big" listed. The box lists MorganTown West Virginia, 26505. Under it , the listing says "item #44".

I think we have an in park teaser like the box we had before Cobra.

I will upload a pic from my friends phone When he gets home later tonight.

We're heading back out on Sunday, so I'll check out this box thing myself, and get pics if no one else has by then. Don't remember seeing it at Coaster Stock.

Just because we heard an engine sound from the video doesn't mean it's going to be NASCAR themed, specifically, the rights for that would cost too much. I'm thinking a generic stock car theme, since that wouldn't require any copyright or trademarked stuff. The stylized 3 *IS* copyrighted, but I don't think the Intimidator name is, since the baseball team up here uses that as their name. Although (as it has already been pointed out), Theresa Earnhardt is a money grubbing witch, who ran DEI into the ground after Dale Sr died (he's rolling over in his grave so hard he could power all of Times Square, or maybe the new coaster, by himself).

I'm asking every person that I know that's connected in some way to NASCAR, *SOMEONE* has got to have heard some rumors or a random tidbit that we can use.

I dont care what the theme of the new project Image"Launching" (kinda like hulk)Image next year is. It seems the cedar fair has had 2 recent chances to "perfect" the presume design so im expecting good things...

Carowinds already has a perfected version of montu, perfected version of thunder run (even though its like raw sex with a catus), and the perfect version of the flyers (phantom that is) I only expect great things from this new project even if it doesnt have a water splash...
