Driving to the university today, I looked at traffic coming on the other side of the highway and saw a coaster piece. (I was in Akron, OH) I only caught a glimpse of it. It resembled Arrow track, and looked to be the top of a lift hill and there was catwalk by it on the flatbed. The track was a lime green and the catwalk was blue.

I was thinking the same thing, except for the fact that it is easy to distinguish vekoma GIB track from Arrow style track. Vekoma GIB track has a double spine.

Perhaps Invertigo/Stingray. Though I doubt it is seeing as how much of it is already up.

^ "Stinger" is blue and the whole track and supports are on site. By now I would guess that that ride is complete track/support wise.

love that. I swear I'm gonna keep calling it that. It is a habit I have been unable to break. From what I saw passing Dorney on my way to a Band Competition at Hershey this weekend, the spikes weren't done yet, but the rest of the ride was. I might post some blurry pictures, but as I thought, the ride is probably all on site. I know that Hershey has all of their track on site right now, and they haven't even started building. It was just a possibility.

Might not be easy when you or it goes past at 40mph.

Or when you say it "resembled" Arrow track and not it "was" Arrow track.
