A friend of mine on KICentral claimed to have spotted green Intamin track heading south on I-71 while he was heading north to Columbus.

Are you sure it wasn't Mack track. Just that isn't Project Helix going to be green? Just a random guess.

If track arrived at Baltimore and was headed for KI or Kentucky Kingdom, that could work.
Problem #1 is that Intamin track isn't easily distinguished from some Gertslauer and Mack track nowadays.
Problem #2 is that it could be headed almost anywhere.
Could also have been a crane's boom or tower and a case of wishful thinking.
:wink:
^Double spine Intamin hyper track can.
And as far as I am aware, when an Intamin coaster uses the double spine track, it uses it throughout the whole layout. IMO we can rule out Intamin if said track is polygonal instead of double spine.
Unless some park in the US is getting sort of a multilooper, derp
After all, pics or it didn't happen

Mack manufacture their track in Germany and Projekt Helix is going to Sweden; wtf would the track do in america?! ;PNemesis of oblivion said:
Yeah, like all the others have said; it could be Intamin, it could be Gerstlauer or it could be Mack.. Or a bridge support ^^ But if it is a coaster, it's at least a bit excting
I'm not that familiar with the US road system, but could the track possibly be for Kings Island?

I know rumor had it that Kentuky Kingdom was supposed to be getting an Intamin I believe, but beyond that I have no clue.
And if the track plant is near its base in Maryland, than you most likely wouldnt see it on 71.
This would be a far easier issue to figure out if we knew were Intamins track was made in the States (if it is even made here at all). Cause I know the track for Flying Over the Rainforest was made here and then shipped, and I believe we recoeved Green Lantern: First Flight track from overseas.

Just saying... there are a lot of structural elements that might be mistaken for coaster track out there. For instance, the roof beams of this stadium:
They are a lot larger, though, but then again, the picture is from one of the largest stadiums of its kind. I can imagine the supports of smaller sports venues to be more similar to coaster track in size.
