There are apparently grey pieces at the plant in Batavia that are alleged to be for Thorpe Park's B&M wing walker (similar to Raptor at Gardaland), and I do recall Krake (the new dive machine at Heide Park) was made in Batavia as well. Heck, Hair Raiser (that yellow B&M floorless at Ocean Park in Hong Kong) was made there as well.

Has anyone thought this might be going to Dollywood?

The truck was heading north into Indiana.

Talking with some friends today, yes, we thought about it.

I personally think that it is.

Brian5465E are you absolutely sure it was heading north into Indiana, because you said you weren't sure if it was it's true route or a pit stop?

At its highest, the attraction will stand 11 feet.

Uh? Typo?

haha yeah, I saw that...either a typo of this coaster is NOT leaving the ground!

Worlds first 95% underground coaster!! Lol!

Although 11 feet is not unheard of!

The Underground at Adventureland has a total height of 13 feet.

Now, I'm not sure if it's underground though.

Yes, I was following next to it. The truck got off on the Lawrenceburg exit and I went to Ohio. Unless he missed his exit to 75s and was turning around..

I think that the pieces are going to a Kings Island off site storage facility. ** Crossing Fingers**

There were pictures posted over at TPR of the pieces on site at Dollywood.

Do you have a link for that?

The picture was taken down.

The thread where the photo used to be is here. It was a picture of a fair number of blue B&M track pieces sitting in a clearing taken from Thunderhead's lifthill. As Vortex stated, the photo has since been taken down by the site's admin.

Do not even get me started...

I would not want to Robb this place of its civility. Fortunately, that "gentleman" does not reign here.

'Nuff said.

Hmm, the coaster was going into Indiana you say? Interesting.

Rumor has it that someone asked a driver who was driving some blue B&M track where he was going, and he said Dollywood. Take it for what its worth.

your mystery track was spotted over the weekend on a farm in East enterprise, Indiana.

38.853583,-84.996994

Interesting. Do you live in that area?

That would explain why he was getting off in Lawerenceburg (since that road is right off Route 56, which ends at US 50 in Aurora). Must have been stopping at home for the weekend on his way to wherever that track is going.

I am really starting to think this track is wingrider style and will be going to Dollywood. Latest hints from Dollywood deal with flight and the park is a traditional American park. It's possible it could be themed to an eagle or something of the sorts.

lol if you actually think the track is going to Holiday World.

I wish It would be going to KI, but I know it isn't.

Ok. I'm getting very excited for this now. Perhaps we will wait until next year to make a trip down there.

I think I'm going to have to plan a trip to Dollywood for next year...
