It's a launch.


Kidding. Great pics.

is it safe to say that track assembly wont begin until after the park closes for the year?

[RctWeekly]

I see track start being put together at the end of this month or in sept.

MAGNETIC BRAKES! I think I just wet myself

:shock: It's a launch.

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)


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


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



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.

*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. I missed seeing coaster track by one hour.

I wonder if Jarvis was driving the truck?

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!

[chknwing]

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.
