August 15, 200620 yr Is picture from Clermont Steel Fabricators(CSF)? Suprised there arent' more spy pics from CSF given that it's located in Batavia on SR 32
August 15, 200620 yr Author Indeed - near the doctors offices up at the hospital - and pratically across the street from Batavia High School. So weird theyre all made here. So what kind of track do you think that is? Look at that TALL spine in the middle piece.
August 15, 200620 yr Author I just figured it out. That pic has BOTH coasters in it! There is a white/blue regular type coaster in the foreground. Then that track in the background that appears to be tall and narrow - look at the piece next to it. The background pieces are painted - DARK BLUE! It is BGE's dive machine!
August 15, 200620 yr Does Clermont Steel Fabricators also do the B&M coasters outside of the U.S. and North America? Besides Griffon at BGE, I'm baffled as to what other parks are getting B&M's in 2007.
August 15, 200620 yr Dont they also fabricate steel for Vekoma and Intamin? I know they used to for Arrow Dynamics.
August 15, 200620 yr Author They do the Americas and Asia. The European ones are fabricated in Europe. Vekoma and Arrow was fabricated by Fabriweld in Clearfield Utah.
August 15, 200620 yr ...largely because the EEC tariff structure protects European steel companies...
August 15, 200620 yr They do the Americas and Asia. The European ones are fabricated in Europe. Vekoma and Arrow was fabricated by Fabriweld in Clearfield Utah. My bad, I meant the supports, CSF does the supporst for intamin, vekoma, and did do them for arrow, they dont fabricate the track, just the supports.
August 15, 200620 yr Author Don't know about that. I have just been watching the plant for a year and a half and have only seen B&Ms and stuff for the UC construction come out of there.
August 15, 200620 yr Yeah, the supports on The Vortex were made by CSF. Also, the Eiffel Tower was made by CSF for Intamin.
August 15, 200620 yr With CSF being so close to PKI it only seems fair that we should get a B&M coaster at some point in time. Just think about how cheap they could ship it here.Who knows only time will tell.
August 15, 200620 yr PKI is geting a dive coaster You make me angry! First you say we are getting a SeeSaw 2 made by the horrible Vekoma. Then you say we are getting a B&M dive machine. Make up your frickin mind NOW! Oh by the way its Dive Machine not Dive Coaster. Edited August 15, 200620 yr by screamingnight
August 15, 200620 yr I think we should get a floorless. CP doesn't have one and KK doesn't have one. So we should get one.
August 15, 200620 yr I think we should get a dive machine because then we would have the ONLY dive machine in Ohio!
August 15, 200620 yr I think we should get a floorless. CP doesn't have one and KK doesn't have one. So we should get one. Oh but Gl has one, and its terribly over rated. Kraken is where its at.
August 15, 200620 yr Oh yeah I forgot about GL. I rode it when it was Batman Knight Flight. I thought it was a pretty cool ride though.
August 15, 200620 yr ^It's not bad, a little rough though, Kraken at Sea World is an excellent floorless rollercoaster.
August 15, 200620 yr i shouldn't of gave you anything next year just be ready to be shock what pki holds in store
