I'm holding out hope that the coaster is Charlotte Hornets/Carolina Panther related.

That would be a great hit with the public, however I really don't see it happening, considering we already have a sports/racing themed coaster. I think a 330 foot coaster named Centurion would do well.

Speaking of Lizards, Cedar Fair could work out a deal with with Lizard Lick Towing and that would make for a very interesting opening ceremony and ride scheme.

So hypothetically speaking if track were to start showing up about what time of day should we see trucks coming down 77? Is it typically during the late night early morning or in broad daylight?

If the load is classified as an oversize load it will have to be transported during the day. It is illegal to drive with an oversize load after sundown.

...or before sunrise. ...or on Sundays. ...or from noon on the weekday before until noon on the weekday after the following holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

With that being said, I'm not aware of any standard loads of coaster track that qualify as an oversize load. An oversize load can only be a single piece of track. Two or more track pieces side by side or end to end that would exceed height/width/weight limits don't qualify for an oversize load and won't be granted a permit or allowed to travel on NC roads. It can only be for a single piece of track or single item.

Track fits on the back of a flatbed. It's not oversized.

Dear god, no.

Using the calculations of the blueprints and Leviathan's lift on Google Maps at the same zoom, also assuming the drop on Fury/Centurion is the same steepness as Leviathan's drop, the new attraction will be 325-335 feet high. My exact number was 328.8 feet, however we do not know the steepness of the drop so and exact right answer is impossible.

I never thought to do that. Very interesting.

[DarK Ei8ht]

Took a while to do. One method resulted in 328 feet, another with 335 feet. I can't seem to find a "definite answer".

[RollerBee]

Please explain your methods.

[DarK Ei8ht]

Look on the height estimate thread.

Where'd the rumor of a new log flume come from? Tons of people on fb (gp) are talking about it lately.

I noticed that as well. Perhaps they know something we don't

Ricky Gagnon Roman themed section of the park that includes a 325 foot wing coaster named Centurion, along with some dark rides and a new water log flumed ride for 2016

I log flume would not be a bad addition for next year. In fact, a nice lightly termed log ride in a mountain would be a nice addition. It could possibly go in the space behind the Cobra bathrooms. The mountain could also house a trio tech dark ride inside.
