It's amazing how they have been able to keep this massive thing such a secret.

[coasterbruh]

You're kidding right...if it was such a secret how would we know it would be massive...

Just woke up to an interesting debate. Great way to start your day. And, coasterbruh, you took the words out of my mouth.

I am not understanding this idea that if track is seen on I-26 it has to be from the south?? Two main ways to come from Batavia in Ohio. Via West Virginia and I-77 and the other is through Kentucky to I-40 then take I-40 east to 321 or I-77 south OR take I-26 east to I-85 North to Charlotte. It is B&M people.

I woke up earlier to this thread with hysterical laughter...

First of all, Carowinds is not hiding the track anywhere. That would cost extra money and no park goes out of its way to hide track in buildings, etc. 99% of the people who saw the track sitting in plain site wouldn't know anything anyway. Spending an extra tens of thousands of dollars just to hide the track from us? C'mon.

Secondly, I can't believe the thread blew up because someone who probably doesn't know anything about track spotted something they thought was track? For all we know, it was a portable coaster for one of the county fairs going down the highway headed to its next stop. Until I see a picture... wow.

I was trying to convince wormy to photoshop a piece of track into a picture yesterday but I'm glad he didn't take me up on that offer...

Please try to keep the discussion intelligent.

EDIT: The crane on site does indicate to me that track should be here soon, though, or the crane is needed for station construction.

When has the park (or any park for that matter) built the station before the track and supports went up? Did that happen with Intimidator?

[dabrian]

They were using the crane to lift some underground pipe when I was there a week ago.

Photo evidence? What? Why wait for that when you can just..

You have to have track in place to build the station around.

[Edwardo]

I'd like to say that I'm surprised at the reaction that someone posted their cousins sisters aunts brother saw something that may have been track. But not so much anymore.

And for the record, I have no inside info that this is a B&M. Going off of what we know for sure, backed up by Josh, and knowing the company isn't quick nor keen on working with Intamin right now...the writing is on the wall.

Some of you refuse to believe proof.

I reject your reality and substitute my own

Successful troll was successful. Lets just hope we don't have the same trespassing issues as there were last year between KI and KIC.

Thanks for that info, chknwing. I didn't follow Intimidator construction as I was just a member of the GP at that time and didn't care.
