"Maverick" Construction - CP 2007

^ possibly. I find it odd how there are no numbers on the supports at all. Of course I also find it highly unlikely that CP would spend the money just to through a bunch of people off.
I also still believe CP will pull some more things out of hat before the year is through. I think the real surprise is yet to come...

It was under trap and think about it Dragsters track was sitting outside Mean Streak for a while.

this made me lol

well... Its def an intamin... but they already have a giga and a rocket... so looper? its easy to fit loopers in to slightly smaller spaces... and Cp doesn't exactly have fields of open space... but its kinda hard to tell atm... I also kinda doubt that it would be an aqua trax... if you look at those 2 jurney to atlantis or whatever those 2 aquatrax's are, they're pretty heavally themed, I don't think CP would make a ride that themed...

I haven't seen the support pics yet, but is there any chance that this is inverted?? that'd be pretty cool considering theres like only 3 intamin inverts (besides those impulse thingys)

^ there is only 1 aquatrax. The 2 journey to Atlantis's were manufactured by Mac.

I doubt it, unless it's some sort of hyper-inverted. Most of the track has a positive radius, which means positive G's on regular coasters, and airtime on inverted ones.

And these don't look very much like inverted supports to me.

Should work now.

^ link isnt working for me, it says the pictures can only be viewed from pointbuzz

There is no way this is an inverted coaster. It is most likely a wing walker, but those helix supports Jimmy linked to show it is an above track coaster for sure.

i dont know about anyone else, but im haveing a really hardtime finding another coaster with a support like this

^ That kind of reminds me of the supports on the very top of sheikra's lift.

EDIT: To show you what i mean look at the picture below.

That definately looks like a lift or tall hill support top. I can't find anything on RCDB to support this, but that is what it looks like IMO.

WTF????

LMAO. so funny yet so true.

judging by the track segments on pointbuzz.com, i doubt it's inverted and i dont think it'll be that big either. i really dont know where you guys are getting that it'll be inverted or record-breaking.

Inverted, No.
Record Breaking, Yes.

Which records?
# of Inversions
Track length
tallest inversion
possibly speed w/ LSM or LIM

just what I think.

Dude, it cant break track length. Do you remember the longest track? Steel Dragon at 8133ft!! I dont think track length will be an issue. Not even with 2 different parts to the ride like rumored. Seriously, thats like 2 Mantis's put together - and it still comes up short.

judging by the track segments in the pics, i doubt it'll break the inversion record either. perhaps CP wont break a record this time and will just build a really GOOD ride?

The piece on the far left ... corkscrew anyone? And I want to say that the other twisted pieces are either quick transitions or possibly small segments of a an in-line twist .... hmm I still say they are going for the most inversions.

[GRIM.657]

I think it will be somthing simular to colossus, With maybe a few more inversions so they can have the record...

and i dissagree with track length record... Theres no way anythings gonna beat steeldragon2000 anytime soon (they should re-open that)...

^It already has been reopened.

[GRIM.657]

-feels stupid-

looks like i need to plan a trip to japan lol...

Well, thats what I heard. It opened either last month or this month sometime.

Yea, took it long enough.

Actually, a few of the signs point to either a 4-D or a wing walker. "We're putting two and two together" sounds like the seats..."ya'll up for soms serious sidewindin'?" sounds like one of them..."We're going in a whole new direction" dont think cp has a 4d or a wing walker...

But who knows, hopefully they'll announce it soon.

[hyyyper]

judging from the supports, the track will be very low to the water, banked, so one side of the trains would be in the water...

as for a 4d, the intamin-ball-coaster, i've only seen it with vertical layout's like the screaming squirrel, and because the 'balls' have a free spin, there might be some high G's you can't controll,

my money is still on a (lauched) looper

[coolbeans326]

"We're putting two and two together"

That sign supports WWS's theory that it could be a dueler/racer. Hmmm... Maybe!

It will be announced in August. I remember hearing that somewhere, but I can't remember specifically where.
