^They sure are. Expect something along the lines of Maverick but huge. The thing is just massive for the park and goes through the wild life area. I'll be there tomorrow and try to get some shots of the construction.

They keep saying its something all new. Its confirmed that its Intamin. I'm thinking its a Wingrider with actual rotating seats, so basically its the intamin 4d.

The trenches that are built are not wide enough for a 4D.

Oh really? I haven't seen them. Intamins version are a little narrower though. I don't think it will be a Blitz. Also the launch will be from 0-60 mph.

When I was there about a weeks and a half ago they were upselling it on the train ride, however they were not very clear as to its size.

They are getting an Intamin coaster and it's going to be big. Nuff said.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
