Rick, can you get us many pics and video from the reveal day? xD

Yes I can! I'm dumping all my photos tonight on my camera and preparing for next Friday and Saturday!

Very subtle, but this word intrigues me :

Kind of a word trick so I expect a Steel coaster, too.

It more than likely is. There's also strong evidence it's a B&M within a $20 Million price tag.

where is that evidence?

The only thing we can really make sure of is that these footers (They're from Banshee, and Gatekeeper):


are exactly identical to the one's currently in the construction at Holiday World. I'll take pictures of the footers Monday so you guys can see. I promise they're indentical.

I'm still holding onto that you cant tell a manufacture based on footers, they're all generally the same

I'd agree to a certain extent - however I imagine designers have their own "styles" of supportwork / footers so it's probably a fair bet that this is a B&M. Further than that you can't tell especially well.

You can absolutely guess by footers, though accuracy may be limited. Those are B&M footers, Intamin are either circular or much lower to the ground, Mack only has 4 pegs (one on each square corner). The list can go on about footers, however the ones currently at Holiday World do resemble B&M

Just a few more days. I'm hoping for a Wing coaster. But, anything is fine with me.

This makes me miss Will.

Wow, what they say will be 1 of a kind. This makes me feel it will be a major steel coaster like everyone else has said.

Confirmed price tag of $22 million!

$22M is definitely a coaster. The keyholes for the footers look B&M, and Gatekeeper was $25M. I'm going with custom wing-rider.

That's one expensive pirate ship! Though to reach dat 300 foot mark it needs lots of money

World's first inverting pirate ship

in the story he said its NOT a steel coaster. but will be the first and one of a kind.
and Valleyfair has an inverting pirate ship so it wouldn't be the first.

PLASTIC COASTER!!!

[Paradox]

Plastic is so unreliable, glass would be better

Glass can break, but what about rubber?

[Paradox]

rubber is too bendy make it out of cardboard

Cardboard falls apart in the rain, how about concrete?

True wooden looping coaster, non hybrid.
