Is that some of the coaster (where the red circle is)??

I had heard something about BGT borrowing a Millenium Flyer from Hershey Park earlier this year before there season started. Wouldn't surprise me if they took interest in Fahrenheit and Stormrunner some time ago and have been in contact with Intamin about meshing the two together.

They borrowed the Flyer train for Gwazi earlier this year. Those will be on site later this fall. Video was fun, but not very informative or teasing...

Yeah I remember seeing the flyer pictures in the Gwazi station. And as for the video I think startrekgeek may have something.

You mean that picture...? Yeah, it definitely looks like some of the coaster (the circle is probably track, and those stick-like figures coming out of it look like supports).

Its an over banked turn. Good catch!

Looking at those photos got me thinking. SheiKra is on the construction walls. I remember when Universal used on-ride video of the Hulk to promote the opening of Mummy. It's a well-used move of parks to promote new attractions by showing footage of previous attractions with similar elements. I wonder if this semi-confirms the verticalness of this coaster. :shrug:

Nah. They have pictures of most of the attractions there including Air Grover which is the opposite of this. haha.

Well, clearly Cheetaka is going to be a inverted kiddie coaster that dives straight down into a crocodile exhibit and will be a steel coaster supported by wood and be painted with black and white stripes.

 

[Andy]

Dude yellow and black stripes duh!

Wasn't from HP though...

I'd expect construction to really kick in in the next couple week. September and October are going to be some busy months.

 

[Octobers Fade]

I would think around mid November after Howl-O-Scream.

More footers?

 

[Andy]

^Bingo

 

[Ratmead]

More footers?

Both footers and the foundation to trench 1. They are doing the first trench different than the other two, instead of sheet piles they are digging it out and pouring the foundation and walls.
