Even more B&M track has sprouted in Ohio

[Pokemaniac]

Well, looks like the B&M have harvested more track from their plant. It seems to be thriving, with the yellow track still waiting to be shipped away, and now, even more track has appeared.

Of course, ThemePark Review have already got a fairly large discussion on this. Here's a pic for those of you who won't click the link:

From TPR


My two pennies, the first just to spark some debate: It's impossible that this is Alton's SW6.

Now that we've laid out the bait, the debate is guaranteed to start. Then, the second penny (pence?), to lure in the more serious debaters:
This doesn't look like the same kind of track as the yellow one, to me at least. OK, maybe it was intended to, but in that case, they have forgotten how to count to 8 (count screwholes).
It's not DM track either.
It doesn't look like Hyper track
Flyer, however...

Efteling?

Last, how can one buy seeds for a B&M track plant? What kind of soil/climate does it thrive in? How much water? Fertilizer? Age before fruit bearing? Does it survive harsh winters?

 

[furie]

Which plant? Europe or US?

 

[Snoo]

^Ohio?

Looks Flyer or Hyper.. but I guess we will have to see..

 

[Pokemaniac]

Which plant? Europe or US?

More B&M track has sprouted in Ohio

But I see our point. Perhaps not Efteling after all. Propably a Superman Clone in China, then...

EDIT: May be Invert as well:

Squint, and you can count 8 screwholes in height.

 

[jokerman]

Yeah but isn't the flyer only five across, and this is six.

 

[Pokemaniac]

^True, true, a valid point there.

However, what else is there to put?
Invert - five screwholes across, some pieces are "taller"

as opposed to:

Can be sit-down, though - notice the leftmost piece:

This picture is of poor quality, but the dimentions seem to match:

The Stand-ups are out of business, and either way, five holes here too:

Hyper track - again, six by six holes on regular track:

However:

It looks like B&M uses a "taller" box in their lifthills. Screwholes alone isn't enough to determine the ride type, I suppose. UC may be a huge help here:

My two pennies, the first just to spark some debate: It's impossible that this is Alton's SW6.

That's funny, it doesn't look like bi-rail to me?

 

[Pokemaniac]

^It's Alton trying tp lead us off the track... It might even be a 4th Dimension! Or 5th! (By the way, you should have seen the text hidden in the code when you quoted me)

And while searching the last picture in my previous post, I tipped more and more over to the Hyper solution.
Carowinds + rumours + appearent Hyper track + walking* distance to the track plant = speculation.

*depending on the time you want to spend walking.

 

[Ben]

Well... that was pointless of you.


:roll:

 

[marc]

I can not find the topic on tpr but is this not the track that went to china for their DM?

I am probably wrong though.

 

[Ben]

^EDIT - The red one looks like it, but, isn't. The yellow one has been there for AGES. There was red, but, I'm sure that coaster is finished. If not, a LOT of it is up, and so, this is stupidly late.

It seems the most posted theories are a hyper for Carowinds, or Kings Dominion.

I'm actually sure we had a topic on the yellow before... It is VERY old news.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was another Cedar Fair hyper - they seem to be working for them.

 

[marc]

Oh ok cheers, I was looking at the red one lol.

Going my the track mounts I would go with the hyper.

And yes I am sure this is old news as well, I seem to remember yellow track coming up before.

 

[marc]

Found it.

Ben got there 1st as I was looking lol.

Does anyone think the red track looks a bit like HRRRs track going through the loop?

Just thought I'd throw something in there...

We can't see what it looks like from the top after all!

 

[Coaster-Fiend]

Alton's SW6? Hahahahahahah, Er No.

We've all seen the plans for Alton's new coaster and it sure as heck ain't gonna be B&M unfortunately.

 

[Anonymous]

My guess is that it's for some new mega coasters somewhere:

MC - Mega Coaster.

 

[Mike T]

I'm going to guess that this is track for Carowind's Hyper coaster. It's elongated spined track (hyper) with straight triangular ties (sitdown non-inverted style). Although it does seem a bit strange that the track is starting to show up ready to go when its only April... I recall Diamondback track sitting in that same lot in June... and only having to travel 20 miles down the road for shipment.

 

[luke8]

Tell me, why the **** would they manufacture a coaster for Europe, in America, when B&M have their own European plant in Switzerland? The only options it really leaves is the America's, and Asia.

 

[Pokemaniac]

^I didn't see that before after I had posted. Guess it's China, Carowinds or KD, then. Actually, I hope it's neither, because that will both give us a new coaster and possibilities for more parks getting one.

Just so everyone knows I was joking about HRRR track just like Pokemamiac was joking about SW6 when he said "now I've laid the bait". I agree with Loefet, Mega Coaster track.
