Found these images of some red B&M track outside Clermont Steel Fabricators in Ohio from KICentral. It looks to me like hyper/giga track, but that's just a guess.

So basically we know it's not a dive machine and that's it lol.

The track is ever so slightly larger than normal, most likely pointing to a hyper or giga as stated above, or a wingrider. Look at the ties; they are straight, not curved, ruling out any invert or flyer. It's a bit early for speculation, but it seems some themepark is getting a very exiting addition for 2016!

There was some concept art released for a red B&m wingrider for some movie park in china. I'm pretty much 100% sure it's for that from the second picture.

Hmmm, I want it to be for Busch Tampa real bad because that would offset the depressing nature of BGW's addition this year. It's probably the Chinese wing rider, though. B&M have had several projects a year of late, I would expect at least a few new B&Ms for 2016.

Yep, that's what it looks like it's for. Although, if you look carefully at the first photo at the top of this thread, you can see a green-tealish track closer to the building. I wonder what that's for.

Don't forget flyer or invert. By the support mounts, definitely upright track.

At first I was thinking Baron 1898, but that was completed a while ago, right?

OMG KILL ME. It's not for BGT unless they want another big red B&M.

^CP also doesn't need another red coaster, and don't you think they'd go with the full-sized dive machine? Hmmmm...Ziz is often depicted as red though.

It's definitely for that Chinese wingrider, it's way to early to start for a north american coaster.

^Ziz (air) is the third in a trio of Biblical monsters, the others being Behemoth (land) and Leviathan (sea). Obviously it's theorized CW will complete their coaster trio with Ziz, usually shown as being a red phoenix or griffon-like creature.

Alright, I'm scrapping my CP theory in favor of this one! :)

It hasn't been 'Confirmed' until track arrives on location or a park says 'This is ours'

It always sucks when a coaster goes overseas, to Asia in specific. Not only is it less accessible to ever ride, but there's not nearly as many updates and usually not very good media released with the announcement.

Yeah, it's not like B&M has a rule stating that "we can only build one red coaster at a time"

Personally, I'm going to hazard a guess at a tall wing coaster, since that piece in the background bares a striking resemblance to the piece at the base of Gatekeepers lift

As for which, I'm not sure, it might be the one in china, or the rumoured one for CW.

I buy into the Asia rumour - bit like how that fly over rainforest wingrider was quite under reported at the time!
