Edit: boo, posted at the same time.


This looks like it could be for the turnaround out of the brake run into the station. Which is some of the first track erected.

If this new track is ours (which it could be as it's the only track that hasn't been accounted for yet) who is getting the Leviathan Blue track?

Maybe one of the six flags parks. Aren't they doing their announcements for the whole chain on the 28th. I take that back, it have to be a park that doesn't have an invert. Maybe silver dollar city or some park that's not in a chain. Does Valleyfair or Michigan's Adventure have inverts?

You're the first person I've seen bring this up.

Unlike most B&M coasters that make a turn out of the station and then proceed into the lift, this coaster will exit the station and head straight for the lift. And instead of braking directly into the station, it makes a turn after the brakes and into the station. I wonder why that is. Space concerns?

Hmm, maybe I just haven't been on enough of them. Disregard my ignorance then!

Ummmmm...intimidator, behommeth, apollo, vortex, top gun...and the list goes on and on. Not that odd really...

I could be wrong and until we see an aerial shot of the construction it'll be hard to know for sure.

I'm just basing that claim off of the footers that we can see from the ground. The big triangular one is at the base of the lift and there are other smaller ones scattered around that area. B&M usually doesn't put their transfer track/storage area before the lift so I can only assume that those smaller footers are for the station and not the transfer area. I would imagine we will start to see more smaller transfer/storage footers pop up on the park side as opposed to the Hurler side before too much longer.
