Actually, they never took away KD's track. They only took away the supports which were returned to the site earlier this week.

WOOT indeed! It's like no matter how much evidence there is that a ride is coming, it doesn't quite feel real until track shows up.

And props to Coasternut30 for breaking the story, and then confirming it by buying a camera and returning to the park to get pics. That's dedication!

Either way it was just a joke.

It's not B&M track, it's Giovanola.

;)

I should get credit too. I've been screaming Hyper as well. And Max deserves credit too.

Oh, and as for B&M not doing anything over 300 feet (Hey, Jarvis, go over to TPR with THAT argument ;-) ), they'll do it, as has been said. The price, though, has been outrageous. Having said that, steel is going for cheap now, right?

And as for launch, they never said they wouldn't do a launch. They did HULK. I believe they have went on record and stated that they will not develop a launch system. They'll design around what a park wants, though.

I always loved on Buzz how people acted like B&M got 'mad' at IOA for demanding a launch, and then going with another company. Companies don't get mad when you're paying them in millions for something they're designing, LOL.
