First off, let me say hi to everyone. Ive been following the coaster updates for a couple of weeks now. Figured its time to get involved.

The company that whytelightning.com was registered through is Domains by proxy inc. who are based out of Arizona. By law information regarding whoever registers a domain is to be released to the public via a whois search. What they do is keep the information confidential by registering websites for others under their own company. So if you look up the information it now returns Domains by proxy inc. as the registrant instead of the actual registrant. I also used photoshop to put the actual Millennium Force logo on top of the moonshine jug and its almost a perfect fit without stretching it any.

Now im not saying that CF is behind this, but something is a little too sneaky about that site. There's no such Crystal Rock Bottling Company out of WV, the domain was registered privately, and the Mellinnium Force logo is on the jug. Just saying...

Sorry to burst some bubbles to some who really think this is launched... big track may mean lot of force but it doesn't mean it have to be launched... take a look at some silver star tracks and some people standing next to them. You can tell that they are HUGE, even for regular B&M hyper...

CF is definitely behind it, i feel there's no doubt. Sneaky Viral Marketing FTW

Newton and I have just returned from the lab.

After many calculations including much advanced calculus, we have determined that this is most definitely not a launch coaster. Sorry everyone for the bad news (or good depending on how you see it.)

I will stand by this statement. And if I am wrong, I will agree not to ride said launch coaster at Carowinds in 2010 unless I eat a hot dog first (and Newton's Engineer is a vegetarian.)

So put me on the record- THIS IS NOT A LAUNCH COASTER!

Newton engineer scares me with this "3rd person" talk...
Newton reminds coasterbruh and me of the people who said it wasn't a b&m but...well...yeah

I believe we will see the brake run and station very soon going up since those piece are all ready here. I wonder if the lift/launch piece(s) will come today since they where on that truck.
