When we discussed the teal track a while back didn't someone show pretty conclusively that it had a different spine than the hyper/giga track? What does that indicate if true? New train type?

The teal was supposedly a invert or flyer while the yellow was supposedly giga.

I think we're all overthinking things.

To me, it sounded like it was hinting at some kind of Contamination that "can't be contained", possibly a disease or dare I say... Zombies?! They're all the rage right now, itd be genius marketing. Or maybe it'll take its theme and/or name from the Scarowinds Fury Maze, hazmat suits and quarantines... Nets? Those are ways to contain something, possibly an infection that makes people furious and hostile.

EDIT: I personally think Cthulhu is a cool name. H.P Lovecraft's work is superb, and Cthulhu is arguably one of the most well know creatures in horror liturature (and to an extent, film/pop culture) history.

Of course its hard to pronounce. It looks like the written form of the sound a person makes when they sneeze.


heh I like Cthulhu
