What is up the sleeves of Canada's Wonderland?

^Well that's a B&M label, plus those parts are definitely a B&M transfer/station set up.

The sticker is a close up photo...I'm still hoping it really is an Intamin.

9 more days...

Yea those are too thin to be any type of supports. I305 has square supports but these are not thick enough nor the right style. Deff. looks like transfer parts...although I305 has similar supports on the transfer track, but the supports shown look too long to be that.

Bingo. Never understood why they had to have the trims. You mean you cant find a better way to scrub off the speed? Really? I doubt it. But whatever, not that i305 is a bad ride, looks fantastic.

Whatever this is, should be good.

Real, more track equals more money. Seems to me they wanted to fit an ending in and keep the cost "reasonable." It was already something like $25,000,000 if I'm not mistaken.

Of course they could have simply extended the final brake run, and had some lower or larger elements at the end, but maybe they figured fitting in one or two extra elements at the end outweighs the negatives of including trim brakes on that hill.

Went today to the park and saw some more markers down along the edge of the parking lot, away from the current construction area. Of course, my camera decided to die upon arrival, so pictures will be coming probably later this week.

If my memory serves me correctly, if this was a B&M, MC would stand for Mega Coaster, yes? Well that would make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Thus, I doubt it's a B&M. On a side note, wasn't X-Works listed as the customer on some other ride recently?

X-Works is very common as the customer, so I don't think that really means anything. I'm pretty sure both Raptor at Gardaland and the new invert at Parc Asterix were both labeled at X-Works.

Maybe it's a B&M giga [:D]

That would still be dumb when they already have a B&M Mega that is 230 feet tall...

Dive Machine, maybe? Wing rider?

I'm still hoping for an Intamin Giga like marginally stated. Is there a picture of the label where you can see the support and background also? I'm not that sold on the close up shot.

Well, according to people over at cwmania.com, a ton more rebar cages are being prepared, adding up to suggest that this is going to extend down towards the front gate where some markers have been spotted. I was hoping for a Dive Machine too at first, but the construction area is way too cluttered and tight with Dragon Fire being right there in the middle of it.

Also, looks like track supports are appearing on site now. Looks more B&M than Intamin to me.

Some sort of B&M looper perhaps?

This is deff. starting to look more like a B&M now.

Edit: The CW website now displays "It's Coming For You." and now features slash marks and two evil eyes looking at you along with another quote, "This is the one I've been waiting for!"

Nothing related to a layout or anything...but I'm slightly thrown off just because a clawed animal plus and explosion and a dark gray sky. But these supports are teal...so now I'm confused along with B&M and Giga coasters being discussed. Deff. gonna be a guessing game until we hear official word.

This was taken at the steel plant in Ohio and based on the color would almost lock in the B&M theory.

^ That picture is gold! But if you look closely, there are two different color tracks. Two different B&M's for 2012?! Yay:D I can see grey supports in the back right. So that would also mean 2 differnt B&M's. The dark blue track looks like a Dive machine. The other track looks like a B&M invert transport/brake track.

I believe the dark blue is for Dollywood's Wing Rider.

And that's why I want to go to CoasterCon next year

So if the dark blue is Dollywood's Wingrider, then the Aqua track would be for CW by default...and it indeed looks like Inverted track, plus the pieces already on site at the park. And the colors match. But the label says Giga Coaster...still has me perplexed.

Aqua track and blue supports for CW it seems? Not quite sure where the whole themed thing on the website comes into play with a gray sky and claw marks. Something isn't quite adding up just yet.

Track is on site.

Sexy track color. Looks like kraken. But i wish the supports were a darker blue.

*sniff* I smell a Raptor clone. The marketing seems to suggest a bird of prey.
