I doubt it, but then again I doubted that B&M wasn't serious with the launched coaster comments a few years ago too and we all see how that's worked out.

The only floorless coaster I've ridden is Sheikra (not exactly a long ride), so can anyone comment on how much of a difference the floorless trains make?

No difference unless you are in the front seat.

Even less of a difference on a B&M hyper/giga I would suspect, because you are already reclining back to where your feet don't touch the floor on them.

I.e. not worth the extra cost for the trains/station setup

Never rode a floorless but I cant imagine it being worth it.

The teal coaster track is loaded on flatbeds at the manufactor in Ohio. Could this be our coaster track?

Media day invitations were sent out today, I would post a picture, but not sure if I'm allowed to. Too bad school starts the week of the announcment for me.

Do you have a pic? I hope its carowinds track. But I thought it was said the teal was invert/flyer track.

Well... the timing is right. It seems like we might have a Leviathan color clone.

There is probably contact information that is for the invited persons eyes only.

I wouldn't mind seeing the invitation. If there is anything you think they wouldn't want us to see you could crop it out. If you would feel better just not posting it that is fine too.

I would love to see some coaster track on those flatbeds. If this is true I highly suspect coaster track to be here tomorrow evening or sometime this week. All saying if this is our track.

ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER
