I think it is a wheel base issue. The new trains probably have a wider wheel base and B&M refused to modify.

I have wondered, but would it be possible to go 5 or 6 in a row to add capacity?
Judging by what Teeebin said, though, and the rumor of new restraints I think it probably is just because the restraints are slightly wider hence meaning a slightly wider train.

Pirates is not alone with its troubles hey
The only B&M model which uses a different track gauge is the Dive Coaster. Other than that they're all the same, so unless they're creating a brand new model for them (unlikely) this seems, well, unlikely.
Since the dive coasters have both 8 and 6 abreast, do they each have their own different track gauge?
Yeah, should have mentioned that. The 6 model uses the standard gauge, whereas the 8 and 10 have the beefed-up version.
Keep in mind, I was just guessing about wheel base stuff. I don't know the minutiae (yet).

Probably what teebin said with the wheel base but why don't we all agree they are replacing it because Comcast is just comcastic :tongue:
Wouldn't that mean that Shekira is as well because they are basically carbon copies. The first one's contract came with an option for a second.
Shiekra is 8, and they are not copies of one another as I know Griffon has two inversions vs Shiekra's single immelman.

Track will not be staged at Universal Studios. That would be impractical and illogical. The distance, Hogwarts Express and numerous speed bumps around the backstage road would be difficult to navigate. The track will be staged somewhere near IOA if prestaged at all and be brought in through the security entrance behind HULK.

Thats a trailer mounted generator of sorts, you can see the hitch. And its a sunbeam rental you can clearly see that. So I am going with the above that its for lighting or other equipment
It's sunbelt, and it's an air compressor, not a generator. Likely using air tools to do whatever work they need to do and no local air supply available.
