I have a feeling that the announcement for this ride will come during the IAAPA in 2 weeks...
Something has sprouted from the Mack Track Plant

I don't get how it could be Texas Tornado if it's not even the same type of track pieces..

Jeez, gurl, you really ARE blonde, aren't you?
Texas Tornado's track was MULTICOLOR.
I wasn't saying that the track IS Texas Tornado.
:lol:

OMG it is for the secret section of SW6 which has already been built anyway, and it's really a Mack, not an Intamin! 
Well, you said some one would say it, so I saved anyone else from having to.
The two tellow pieces look different shades, and the right one is not shiny, so I think the far right one is unpainted/base coasted, the middle one primed or first coat, and the left one is final layer.
I don't know of anywhere getting a new Mack yet, but it is only early for some parks to announce a new ride.
Then again, Screamscape is not always exactly reliable...

Could anyone translate that bit of text in the picture to see weather it gives anyhting away?

^ It says that there are many new Asian parks that have bought rides from Mack, and that the new coasters are first made in a computer so that they won't have to make up test parts of the track to see if it works...
Nothing that really hints where this coaster will go, but then again China might be a big contender...

Are there any Mack plants in the United States? I'm not too familiar with Mack, but from what I googled, the American plant closed down. Also, what is the capacity like on these rides?

^ I have no idea on if they have a plant in the US, I think that they make most of it in Germany especially since they are a "small" company compared to Intamin, B&M, Vekoma...
The capacity on Blue Fire when running all 5 trains!! is around 1700 pph, aka massive!!

^That is good throughput.
But...
Some of those Disney coasters can pull 3 or 4 thousand an hour. (According to a bud who worked at BTMRR in FL.)

3-4000 pph sounds to good to be true.. B&M and Intamin's high capacity rides have around 1500 pph when running all trains, and then they load and unload trains all the time! How do disney manage to pull of 2-3 times the capacity?! Do they have tripple loading stations and 15 mcb?? (I have never been to a disney park)

Expedition Everest has a throughput of about 1900 to 2100 depending on how many trains are on the circuit. The BTM's have a capacity of about 2500 max I believe.
Blue Fire's throughput is immense, fastest loading I've seen outside of a Disney park. Its certainly needed at EP, who get massive crowds visiting. I believe it has the highest attendance for a park that operates seasonally.
Its just a shame that the single rider is in such a sucky position on Blue Fire, its almost pointless.

^ No.
It's definitely nice to see another Mack launcher being built (assuming that's what it is) but I'm trying to figure out where it could possibly go.
Looking at the RCDB list of still unkown 2010 coasters, the park that looks most realistic to be getting this is Sarkanniemi. (http://www.rcdb.com/8832.htm)
But then again, the park that's getting this could very well not have announced that they're getting a coaster next year yet.

They tend to have double loading stations (or multiple load and unload positions), some have bigger trains, (the various BTMRR's typically operate 5 or 6 trains) there are usually DOZENS of block sections on any Disney coaster, and here's a biggie: The ops never, never, never touch the trains.
No (physical) lap bar checks goes a looooong way towards reducing dispatch times.
Disney has long been the master of high capacity.
