My bad, I was basing that off of a concept art of the ball coaster where the cars ran along the side of that track, instead of sticking out of the sides of a car that ran on the under/overside of the track. I'll try to find what I saw, but I can't guarantee anything.

It looks like a floorless for me though

.
Umm...This is Intamin. Only B&M makes floorlesses, although Maurer Sohne does have a concept for it. And the chances of intamin making a floorless would be slim, not to mention it would be a prototype, which CP is pretty much outlawing.

Oh, I didn't know for sure it was B&M, sorry. I doubt it would be a ball coaster. Does intamin make 4D's? I know it won't be a boring coaster like every other ride is like...

[Spinout]

Intamin has plans for a 4D coaster, but has not actually made one. I can't wait to see what this turns out to be!

500th post, halfway to elite.

CP gave up on covering the tarps. There is a bunch of red track lying out in the field now(about 12 pieces). Also, I noticed these black and yellow stripes on the rails. I wonder if they were painted on or are just straps for cranes or something?

[Jogumpie]

They keep on coming!

Right now, I'm pretty sure it's either one of those Intamin multi-looping coasters, an Aqua trax, or maybe even a combination of the two. The only reason I still believe there's a possibility of a water coaster is because they took out White Water Landing for it.

[CP-ephY]

That's got nothing to do with it...Example-they took out the old log flume for Raptor.

[TwistedDreams]

Well, We know there's going to be a lot of Verticle G's. Almost every track curves up(ish).

[imakecoasters]

Woah, that section looks like it may be a big loop. We know it's not a 4D any more... This is insane I think. The track is huge, like MF's. Can't wait to see more of the track and supports.

EDIT- ^ Your right, like Expedition G force!

[Physix]

Come on guys, it's obviously Intamins first looping kiddie coaster!

...anyway. I was wondering, does it seem a little early to be starting construction on this? I mean, Patriot's track didn't even start arriving until a week before WoF closed. It must be a pretty decent sized coaster, because at this rate, it will be done by August!(Probably not, just seems like it)

Interesting that there are no box and only triangle pieces there now.

[coastergeekrtc]

I saw some 4-rail track...

^This makes me positive that it is a mega coaster (either looping or "hyper" type"). Here's a picture of goliath at walibi world. Notice that there is four rail track (maybe for the lift?), but also three rail track.

[CP-ephY]

The lift track is a special one though. It would have some specific design on it to allow the chain or cable to go through.

[Antinos]

Coastergeek, thats not four rail track. If you look in a different pic, it shows the pieces are really close together.

I saw in another pic from an earlier update that there was a piece of track that looks so tight, the only explanation is heartline roll.

[CP-ephY]

I looked through all of the pics and that one piece looks like a four railer, but I could easily be wrong because of the angle

look very carefully at that picture. Quads don't have those circles on the bottom of every end.

[pkiknex25]

Yeah, its just an angle of two tri-rail pieces.

The most reasonable thing would definatly be a looper or an Aquatrax.

[Antinos]

^Thats what it's narrowed down to. And the Aqua-Trax isn't looking to good anymore.

[BGTKing]

Still hard to tell. Still no flat track, which is used for barrel rolls and such for Intamin loopers. Colossus (http://rcdb.com/id1412.htm) uses all triangle and flat, and no box. We'll have to see what other pieces show up.
