does this mean our supports and track may be showing up in the near future?

Probably yes. If they started now we should too.

Not necessarily true. Every project is different, especially if it is a different manufacturer. That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if pieces started arriving within the next few weeks.

YAY! ....the members on KD Fansite are concluding that they have an Intamin coming to their park.... but they are saying its going to be launched (like ours is rumored to also) and i dont really think it's going to be bigger than ours.... but who knows, right?

Oh, ok. Thanks. Not sure how I feel about a launch coaster though.

Congrats to KD. In case you're wondering, there is no delivery of anything at Carowinds, yet. The markings are still there, the flags are still there, but a lot of that dirt ain't. They're really stepping into high gear in clearing. So behold ten images of dirt, more dirt, and nothing but glorious dirt. Roll that beautiful dirt footage:



Ahhh yeahhhh....



Oooh baby...



Mmm hmmm...



So sexy.



Oh that is so hot!



You know that's what I like...



Don't stop! Don't stop!



Yeah, right there.



OH MY.....



Ahhhh. Time for a smoke. And be sure and read those ride rules.

And not that this means anything.....

yup.... I don't know if it is true or not, but i did hear it from an employee.

Dirt porn. Now all we need is track porn. Bring it on.

[PreferParamount]

wow form the looks of those pictures, it looks like they have really moved a lot of dirt from when i was there on sunday, almost time for our track now.
Im really surprised that CF is building two huge coasters in one season, hope they dont get to carried away like 6flags. And I wonder why KD didnt get a B&M like the other two parks, and most likely carowinds.

[coasterbruh]

Things get a little more interesting now! We are either getting screwed again, or our coaster is so much bigger than KD's, that it's taking longer to manufactuer and/or ship. I can't wait for our stuff to start showing up if it ever does!

This is my theory...if you live 5 minutes from your job chances are you are the last to show up lol...

With that said, if its a overseas company construction kd's coaster then it will probably get shipments faster due to not wanting anything to be delayed. They can basically walk B&M track to carowinds from the plant...

and wormy that is such a funny post lol lol

[charlotteguy02]

I still haven't ruled out B&M for KD just yet. I think once we see some actual track pieces then we can definitively say it's one or the other. Until then, all people are basing this on is one 10ft. support that looks abnormal. The other supports in the photos (the cylindrical ones) seem to fit B&M, Intamin, Vekoma, and who knows who else.

[coasterdave]

That has to be one of the best posts I have read in a good while on here Wormy.

Big shot out to the peeps taking the pics to keep the whole boards in the loop. I know I for one really appreciate it.

[b&mcoaster1095]

I probably missed something but i didnt see any cylindrical supports
