Does anybody know when the announcement for the Intimidator was? For the intimidator the first track pieces came on Aug. 5 If its the same for Centurion then we should see some track pieces soon!

[RollerBee]

August 26th roughly was Intimidator.

Did any one take a look over the fence this weekend? If the footers aren't pretty much ready no way we will see pieces yet.

There are a few birdies at the park now.. might have something to look at in a few hours.

More like a few birdies and a sitting hen (sorry max hahaha). I saw some photos with some plates already on the footers...is that an indicator to something?

[Chris]

of all the arguments on here, this is by far the dumbest. How Centurion will be pronounced. Just wow.

I wasn't aware that we were arguing. Seemed like a normal discussion to me. This is a forum, right?

Montumax and Wormy did a better job taking pictures than I did. However here's a couple that I took:

Another shot with better lighting

I hope you guys got some shots from the sky tower!!!

I tried to jump the gate and get into the maintenance door to climb to the top but Wormy stopped me. Maybe if I had one more of that great Chickie and Pete's Ale. So here we go...

A lot more markings on the ground near the former bus parking lot. Wormy has better pictures of these

This was at the top of the grassy hill across from the campground bus stop.

So the picture that I zoomed in with my phone is not great quality. However it shows Long Foundation Drilling Company. Carowinds will be happy to know that they are not listed on the company's list of projects. It looks like they will be doing some of the footer drilling.

I'm sure Wormy will have some better pictures than me but I wanted to get these online for those dying to know. I saw lots of track at the park today. Unfortunately for those of you dying to see track, it was all installed on other coasters.

The crane is there to either lift the stone pillars in place for the remake of the Roman Forum, or probably to start on the station.

thats awesome, a crane on site is huge. we gonna have track this week. I gotta feeling

[carowindsman6654]

So if track is going to be delivered this week then I guess it won't be a B&M seeing how none are at the plant except the ones going to other places??? Hmmm... Maybe we'll get a nice SMOOTH Vekoma.

Oh and great pics. I would drive up there and take some but I live two hours away and work five (sometimes six) days a week all day from 6am-4pm.

lots of other possibilities. Maybe tracks been here and stored in a warehouse. Maybe B&M has another steel factory working on track now. maybe its done and was just awaiting paint at clermont. needless to say we will know many more details this week about what were getting including track color.

Wormy has todays album up some really nice pics there

[goldsteh]

I will be happy to go to the park on Monday and Tuesday. Someone just direct me where to go. It's a little bigger and my complex than in 2010.

Yea if a crane be out there they should be about ready to build something tall. Which indeed should indicate that track should show up soon.

[chknwing]
