I'm still going with my 215 estimate.

Ok, even though, I really doubt it, but I remember reading somewhere in here that someone thinks the ride time is going to be about 3 minutes....And again, I'm starting to think maybe B&M has design a new style of a coaster....But do you think maybe there going to do something like a 4th Dimension Coaster? Cause if you look at x2 its just about right at 3:00 Load and Load off. But again I surly doubt. But could it be a new coaster style???

Hulk at IOA is a LSM: Linear Syncronous Motor. It employs tires to accelerate the train.

I wish it would be a 4th dimension. I remember when X first came out, I thought that within 4 or 5 years, there would be numerous 4-d coasters, but it looks like they arent that popular after all. I wish I could make a trip to cali just to check it out. I didnt even realize they changed the name of it and got new trains for it...

Anyway, I wish it was a new coaster type that would be great, i dont think it will happen though. I guess we will find out in 22 days...

You are wrong in every aspect of that sentence. First, Hulk does not use LSMs. Second, LSMs do not use tires. Try again.

Watch Fox News Rising in the am. Apparently, Wilson will be out at the park and there will be some hints given about the big annoucement. This was posted by Dani on Facebook.

The Hulk uses a Friction Wheel launch that uses tires to launch the car. LSM is the same as LIM which use magnetic fields to launch the coaster.

Its possible this could be a launched lift. It would fit the theme really well (assuming it is racing themed of some sort).

Now that I think about it though if the theme of is racing (which i am 98% sure) a 4th Dimension wouldn't work. Oh well. If it's racing I think its going to be some type of launch.

Ummm ok could the coaster be a Motorbike Coaster? www.coastersandmore.de/.../boosterbike_e.shtml

I kinda like the idea but at the same I don't. Cause it would be no as much fun as if it was a hyper of some kind.

^ No. B&M does not build motorbike coasters.

It's already well established that this will 99.9% be a B&M hyper.

Rather 99.8% obvious to me also on this one.

Also, I was at the park yetersday (I forgot the camara) but I was looking at the crate and I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up yet but it said Cosco in the middle in big letter, what could that mean?

I did some quick google-ing, and Cosco is a kind of transportation company that carries shipping crates around the world.

It's not really a clue (I think), just a detail that makes it more realistic.

Why do you need a link...to validate what max said like he would just make up stuff? Oh, I guess cause he doesn't post much it can't be true...

Want your link, watch the news in the morning or (gasp) go to the carowinds facebook page!!
