A single photo has been discovered of a piece of support structure waiting in a storage location, these parts are rumoured to be a major component of a build known only as Ignition, but what could they be?...

Nope, not a ferris wheel, it is/ will be a coaster. I didn't use all the orange connectors on the arch thing to save pieces, that was the only way I could get the radius I wanted.

I think that it is a top hat coaster and the piece we see is the crest.

^ That will change when I start putting track on.
Some more supports have arrived on site...
Sorry about the blurry pics, the camera seems to be struggling to focus on the knex.
Look closely at the left side support and you might spot a clue as to how it all fits together.

Nope, but if I had known about them i would have built one before now, I suppose I can recycle some of the parts after this to build one.
All will hopefully be revealed tomorrow...

The only thing that I can think about is the classis vekoma Boomerang coaster and these are the two towers and the half-circle is just support.
