No. They're unpainted. It looks like a standard track. It's not an invert or flyer, and it doesn't look big enough to be a hyper or dive machine. It's either sit-down, stand-up, or floorless.

I'm pretty sure that it is coaster track. If you look closely, you can see the rails where the wheels will run along. This leads me to believe it's for a rollercoaster. I also think it's probably a steel coaster and not a wooden coaster, although this early on, it could possibly still turn out to be a wooden coaster. Anything more than that, I can't be sure of.

That's my bad. Upon closer inspection, it does look like dive machine track.

Everybody makes mistakes.

^But I can't tell invert from floorless, and dive is just so much thicker than anything else...

Let's hope this one is for the US. 2010 will be five years after Sheikra opened, so even if there was a contract between B&M and Busch, it'd be over by now.

B&M does not have a plant. There is a plant that fabricates B&M track.

What was the point of the whole contract to begin with?

Maybe Intimidator is going to be two-toned and they just didn't tell us in the videos.

Could be the project for BGE??? Maybe? (Hoping).

He's just mentioning what he heard on Screamscape most likely. And yes, it is a very bad rumor or whatever someone wants to call it.

It's going to be really funny if this was like a bad piece of track they are going to recycle later or something.

^Ahh, Wes brings up a good point. I think I remember seeing those support pieces in pictures somewhere. I just don't remember where. I thought they were abandoned because they looked like they had rusted.

Well, the best way to tell whether it's a hyper or a Dive Machine is to get a good look at the cross ties. Hypers have a little V cut in the cross ties, while Dive Machines have straight/level cross ties. Unfortunately, the photographer didn't think of getting pictures of good enough angles to determine that. Hopefully someone else will.

You can draw an imaginary perspective line if you have a good sense of depth.

Maybe it was done purposely to get us excited. Something still doesn't add up since they're not painted. It just seems that if they were going somewhere, they would be painted.

No not really, Think about the first stages of the coaster.... number one they build the track pieces.....number two they would paint it..... they deliver it to the park its going to.....then the full coaster is built. Look all I'm saying is that this could still be in the early stages of devolpment. Maybe they are not painted and they getting ready to be paint ( at the time the pics where taken) then they finally posted them!!

Hmmmm I wonder where this is going to? What parks already have B&M's? I know SDC does....but Dollywood don't! < ......Could this be going to Dollywood? I mean we have always wanted one there and it would be really great to have there. Dolly mentioned friday that things would be told about the 25th soon....Could this be one of the things? I mean, adding two things would be a pretty good way to celebrate the 25th! I'm just saying.....Does anybody think the same thing I do?

If they were adding a coaster of that size, I think there would have already been a lot of prep work done already.

Anywhere they build now, they are going have to move a lot of dirt around in my opinion.

Plus, Dollywood likes to announce early every year, and I can't imagine them waiting this long on a coaster.
