Track :doh:

 

[Hatetofly]

What reasons?

Track :doh:

Oh.

okay. With all the excitement I thought it was something more exciting.

Not to sound ungrateful or anything.

looks like there is worn paint from the ride vehicle wheels. Meaning it has already been tested?

HRRR's tracks are like that also. I dont really know the reasoning behind it but guess maybe they just dont bother painting where the side guide wheel runs. Also I really dont think they set these coasters up and test before they ship them out. Ive seen some prototypes done like that and know they did that with Cheetah Hunts top figure eight sections but think that is rare.

Intamin does that. It's a strip that is placed over the rail where the wheels run. I've heard it reduces friction and wear on the track.

Now I'm lost. Everything about this screams Premier, now we see a solid Intamin trait.

HTF?

EDIT: Intamin does it on all three sides of the rail. But it's just on the one piece, on the one side... so maybe it still is Premier?!

HRRR has the stripe also and its neither Premier or Intamin

The stripe thing has been done by a few manufacturers but never Premier. Does that mean anything no it doesn't IMO. There are other pictures I've acquired and no I won't share them so please don't ask. Sorry nothing personal I just can't. But I've sent it to some very knowledgable people and some are backing me and the Intamin claim while others continue the Premier trend.

Regardless though I'm staying on the Intamin path and until we have proof I won't change the course

It will certainly be up there.

 

[Hatetofly]

Oh yeah not saying it will be just a possibility :look:

Definitely. I can't wait to see it in action.

I really hope so. I'm doubtful. Forbidden Journey was a little too "Personal" and in your face for me.

And to me, that's the coolest part. The difference between being in a world and just passively passing through.
