^^ Not sure what that is. My best uneducated guess would be a telephone pedestal. It seems to be located on the utility ROW and they marked/coned it because the DEFINITELY do not want to damage it with a piece of equipment.

Warning, this is just my opinion, so please bare with me on this one.
I've spent the lase hour looking at coaster footers of different companies, but mainly between B&M and Intamin. So far, I've noticed that most Intamin coasters (well, I305 at least) have 12 bolts on the footer itself that hold down a square shaped support. I realize that different size coasters require different types of supports of various designs, but I didn't see a similarity of Intamin footers versus the footers in the pictures on page 207.

Feel free to add or take away. I just wanted to see for myself if these footers are even remotely similar to Intamin. But from what I can tell, they are not.

I guess this,


is the same as this from Leviathan


which should probably put the b&m/intamin debate to rest.

Ok, who on here posted this?

This is why you don't use Wikipedia as a reference. Anybody, and I mean anybody, can add to that even if they have no idea what they are talking about. Right now there is nothing factual on that page - it's all speculation.

I agree, that should remove all doubt that this is a B&M. This is a fun time to be a coaster enthusiast.

I didn't see that footer. Where is that one even at?

EDIT: oh that is a Leviathan footer.

As a regular Wiki editor I will ensure that article gets deleted ASAP. And regarding the whole Wiki can't be used as a reference, I like to tell people to use Wiki references as a reference. Several articles have secondary, reliable references that you can use without saying you used Wiki. (And in some cases such as the SheiKra article, there are archives of newspaper articles you can't even find on the internet anymore )

EDIT: Article deleted.

After checking out a Leviathan video, I really hope they put a lot more effort into our tunnel. The Leviathan tunnel looks pretty crappy...like you're going through an aluminum shed you can pick up at Lowe's.

An underground tunnel would be awesome.

As does Magnum and M. Force at Cedar Point. I will be amazed if the tunnel comes to light.

why so negative?

[Jarsh]

There will be at least one tunnel, possible two. And based on the track layout in the blueprints that called for a tunnel, the track and supports will be fabbed with that in mind. If the tunnel out by the entrance doesn't happen, then the track will sit in a hole, lol.

These new pictures are so exciting never doubted it was B&M and I certainly don't now

Are floorless hyper trains still a possibility? Otherwise, I wasted my time drawing this:

I don't believe they would put an aluminum tube tunnel out like that in front of the main entry. That will be the first thing people see as they arrive, and would set a very bad tone. It could end up being a trench with an arched bridge over it.

I didn't realize the start of the lift hill would be that far back. Maybe its the angle.... Also has anyone noticed if they have started pulling up the asphalt where the suspected first drop will be?
