No. The launch pieces haven't been delivered yet but I have seen this...and yes, they will be red and be delivered on a flat bed. My sources (7 of them) were right about the red track on a flat bed so I'm sure they are right about the launch track...

At approximately 6:32 pm tonight, southbound on I-26 just outside Asheville, NC--this is what I saw (don't worry, I wasn't driving)
Image

Holy cr#p! that's our track on the way to Charlotte!
Image

not that bad for a cheap phone camera, traveling at 70 mph....
Image
Image

Ta-Da!!!!

P.S. Sorry, I couldn't get a good shot of the other truck with all the launch components on it--it was just going too damn fast! So, the launch is definitely confirmed. :lol:

*edited to thank the team who assisted in getting these pics up: TO (driver of the vehicle I was in who didn't flinch when I suddenly screeched very loudly and had to floor it to catch up to the truck, such that we almost missed our exit), SR (tech support--emailed me back the photos I texted her from my crappy old phone) and CH (tech support--hosted the photos and sent the links to me as I couldn't figure out how to post them)

I was on that same interstate in the same city at 5:30. :shock: I missed seeing coaster track by one hour. :( :cry:

I wonder if Jarvis was driving the truck? :D

My sources were driving the trucks,all 7 of them...told ya the launch track was on the way! The spine in the pictures are thick to support the launch speed, according to my sources!

looking at the size of the track, you start to get a feel for how massive this coaster is truly going to be. I have goose bumps.
