^ Thanks for the link! (sarcasm)
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

This would not be the first time Intamin used more sturdy track sections on a ride. The loops on Tornado have thick track sections as seen here

and more noticable in this video.

Well, as you all may know the official announcement to the public is on August 20th. Members of the press along with coaster nerds (like myself) recieved invitations to the media event. Here's what it looks like.

If you look closely it reads "Taller...Faster" behind the words biggest and meanest.

KD is definately going in the right direction with this coaster, and by that I mean "vertical";) I think racecar fans will like this ride;)

That isnt the Invite that is a picture for a event at Kings Dominion (you can find it online here http://www.kingsdominion.com/events/events.cfm). I know 2 people who have gotten the invite and they both say it looks like a race car. If you want more info go here http://www.kdfansite.com/index.php

There's finally a non-linear track section on site...the first I've seen at least. Looks to be for an S hill or some similar transition, which is definitely a welcome sight. :)

I hope the layout has more elements and is more thrilling and not a MF clone.

Over at the KDfansite, they pointed out the bigg in biggest looks like 8155 and the GGE looks like 355 upside-down.

The G's do have a different font than all of the other letters, but I am not sure if that was intentional or not.

I dont know, but the GG could be a 99 upsidedown.
99mph anyone?

Im not sure what to think about this one... It looks like they tried to mix Piraten, Maverick and Millennium Force all into one.
