You're not the only one at all, but the best thing to do is to just side-eye then eye-roll at them and call them an irrelevant and willfully ignorant peasant.

In other news, I still feel faint over the installed track.

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Ahhhhhh Nice. I've looked all over is there a rendering or some kind of a ride track you all discussed before I joined? I Don't mind looking but I looked through a hundred pages lol

 

[bobwadd]

Does anyone else get the same wierd look as me when I show the amazing pictures of the first sections of track going into gringotts to people? People look at me like I'm crazy. They don't understand...

That's because you/we are crazy! :rofl:

The close-up of that track makes it look like it's definitely not Intamin. Unless there's some hard evidence that Intamin will be the manufacturer, I would bet that this is Premier or maybe even Vekoma....somebody that's not Intamin. That, or they have a new type of coaster track on the market that's going to be used on Gringott's first...

And I could say it's B&M but I would be wrong lol.

Oh the beauty of speculation.

Seems every time I ride the Simpson's (ouch) I always end up on the very first ramp and can never get a good look at the construction site...

Out of the 10+ times I've been on Simpson's, I've only gotten the first floor two times (mainly because it isn't running).

Honestly: it looks like a heavy duty version of Skyrocket's track at Kennywood. Skyrocket was built by Premier.

I dont see the resemblance??


EDIT:

Hold that thought, I looked at a POV and could see a slight resemblance but it seems to me that the triangular peak point is a little more extended downwards than this track. Could still be premier though..

That definitely doesn't look like Intamin triangle track, unless its a new variation. Intamin triangle track has internal cross beams and diagonal bars between the vertical bars from the running rails down to the spine. Plus the vertical braces to the spine are thicker than the vertical bars on typical Intamin triangle track.

 

[Hatetofly]

I can see it now...

(Officers come around the corner)

Security: "He's drinking beer. There's no way he's the one taking sketchy pictures!"

(Officers run away continuing their search)

Exactly

Anyone check to see if they have anymore track staged in those fields out there where they usually stage all this stuff? Maybe we can get some closer shots and see for sure who the manufacturer is.

 

[Hatetofly]

Their is track staged but its MUCH closer to the building :thumbs:

 

[Hockeyman55]

Can they be seen from the apartments?

 

[Swiminn6]

HTF, are you allowed to say anything about the track in general? I wonder if there will be a steep drop anywhere?

I've been trying to find a rendering or track layout or something myself lol.

Track layout:

 

[Hockeyman55]

It doesn't look like a long ride at all but its more of a dark ride than an actual roller coaster right?
