Wrong park.  That's Cedar Point who is getting that.  Well they're getting an Intamin at least.

It's always fun seeing the track arrive. Won't be to much longer until the rest of it starts to show up. I'm just interested in seeing what this layout is going to do!

Well, it's ten minutes from now, so we should really start paying attention again.

Looks like it's going to be a fun ride.
Pretty typical B&M hyper though. Then again, when has B&M been known for creativity.

I think it looks like the best of the CF B&M hypers.  I like the turning air hill for the 2nd element and the way that the hammerhead crosses over itself.  The helix also looks better than Diamonbacks.

Creativity is what we're seeing at King's Dominion and a ton of people are pissed about it.  I love the look of both and can't wait to get out there.

I know, I'm going to have to make a pilgrimage to the east coast next summer. Pity BBW won't be a part of that excursion. :(

The second drop and turnaround remind me of Renegade a little. That's always a good sign.

Too bad other than Afterburn (and now Intimidator) there is isn't anything else worth riding at the park. 
Oh well, when we go out there next summer we can get in and ride and get back out and on our way again.

I agree with Jason the 2nd Hill looks sweet, along with the "Panoramic U-turn".  CF is really spending alot this year on rides $25 Mil for I305, $23 Mil for Intimidator, I can only imagine how much they will spend at CP for there ride.  What happened to a year of austerity?

I haven't been following this one very closely either but took a look at the webcam today. 

They're already close to being half down.

Word on the street is it's better than Diamondback.

The lucky locals get to ride it this weekend.

I really wish that CF would have bought WoF after they switched their hyper supplier to B&M.

Why would it be impractical to have two hyper coasters in one park? Provided they had a different ride experience, I could see it happening.

It's not completely out of the question.  I too could see it happening.

I don't see it happening for a park the size of WoF though.  By the time it does happen it's possible that Mamba would be at the end of it's service life.
