Seeing how the track is yellow and how Cedar Fairs LOVES bright colors that stand out; I'm willing to bet those track pieces are for Carowinds.

Is it tooo early to be fabricating track for Carowinds? Not at all. You have to think, if this coaster is going to be a Giga and hopefully as long as we're hoping for, then it makes since. The plant only has so much room to store track. With this hopefully being a Giga there will be a lot of track which would be why track would be made.

I honestly would be very surprise if yellow track didn't show up at Carowinds.

http://rcdb.com/11930.htm - coaster in question, but of course no pics or anything yet.


Isnt Chinas flyer suppose to be blue? http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/vi ... =2&t=66853



That's just one image, I have seen others where it is yellow. (hope this works) http://www.themeparx.com/embedded/13965 ... andax4.jpg


Also look at this curved piece right here- https://scontent-a-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hph ... 0823_n.jpg - That looks like either the top of a flying coaster's lift, or perhaps some part of the 'pretzel loop.' No giga would feature that piece. I'm tellin ya, it ain't for us.


EDIT: LMAO Screamscape has had pics of this "yellow B&M track" for a month and a half, what noobs we all are. http://screamscape.com/html/industry_news.htm

Look at the piece behind that "top" piece. It looks like the base of an inverted or flying coaster's lift. I'll confirm it as well... this yellow track isn't for us.

Any idea what color the Carowinds coaster will be? I am not a big fan of yellow. Prefer red, blue, purple, black, and silver. But if it were more of a gold, that may be ok.
