Diamondback 2.0?

Just like Silver Bullet then, should be silver really but its not.

Whitelighting should be white but its not.

Why dont parks get these things right lol.

But any idiot can paint a coaster called "Silver Bullet" ..silver. Where's the imagination is taking the obvious option. Ilove the fact they used a verity of bright colours, even the trains are mental.

I'm happy to see red track so far =P. Here's for more bright colours! whoop! DOWN WITH THE OBVIOUS!

Theres your mystery hyper from Ohio.

Now just to work out where the yellow Beemer's going. I pick Busch...

I'm getting fed up with new red coasters... DB, Hollywood, iSpeed, Happy valley dive machine, This, KD's new one...

Same, it seems like 80% of new coasters in the past couple of years have been red. It's a decent colour but it's a bit overused now.

Anyway, this is interesting.. I don't have much to say about it at this point though.

 

[bob_3_]

Red's always been a popular coaster coaster, it's the most stand-out colour. Over-used..yes, but it does catch the eye.

This is Cedar Fair we're talking about, they can't be expected to waste precious money in R&D during this recession on a foolhardy hunt for a color that isn't red. :roll:
Nice to finally see some track, though. I'm pretty excited for this one, but it'll probably be overshadowed by its big brother at King's Dominion.

Interesting that you bring that up. I'm more than a bit surprised that 2 of the CF parks in the same region are getting large additions at the same time...

 

[Snoo]

I'm not. They are both former Paramount parks.. they might have thought "kill two birds with one stone."

Both were bound to get additions sooner or later.. but they are from two different companies.. and final decisions on the ride are made by the park if I'm not mistaken.. CF just does everything else..

I'm still doubting it's White Lightning. I'm going with Intimidator.

 

[Hyde]

^ That's why there is a White Lightning website.

Yeah, Sporting News seems to think that this will be NASCAR/Dale Earnhardt themed...

(Oh, and woopsie if this was a leak)

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

^ Interesting.

[quoet]"We see this as part of the reactivation of the Dale Earnhardt brand," DEI Exec VP & GM Jeff Steiner said this morning as he drove with Earnhardt's daughter, Taylor, to Kings Dominion for the announcement. [/quote]

Yay my name, that excited me more than the whole article .

 

[Ali]

Only a week until the plans for this is unveiled as well!

 

[pkiknex25]

I'm still going with White Lightning myself, especially with KD getting the Intimidator name. I don't see CF naming them both Intimidator.

 

[CMonster]

^ They could be pulling a Six Flags...

When's the announcement going to be exactly?

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

^ I'm guessing 11:00 A.M. like Intimidator was, but I could be wrong. It's on the 26th though.

 

[tomahawk]

Since the price of this is only $11 million USD, which is not the price of the hyper I was expecting, I am either expecting a B&M Mega-Lite or something very compact, and forceful, going back to Batman: The Ride forceful!

'Record breaking, history making'

Any ideas what this is referring to... I can't really think of recent B&Ms that really go into the record breaking, history making type categories...

 

[Snoo]

It might be a certain type within B&M or just within the park itself.
