From the Twisted Cyclone discussion:
Apparently I didn't post in the Fenix topic about the lovely blue track, but I DEFINITELY thought it.
And now here...Oooooh that IS a lovely shade of blue! Haha! Motion to paint all coasters lovely blue colors from now on!
This particular shade reminds me of the new Velocity Blue paint color I've been seeing on a lot of Mustangs running around town:

Odd request guys 
but Myself and ye olde admin CP6 have been putting together a spreadsheet of codes for the B&M rides.
Its fairly well known each B&M track typer has a unique identifier.
For example SC = Sitting Coaster (floorless included) MC = Mega Coaster and WI = Wing Coaster.
This is followed by a dash and a letter which identifies the project.
For example SC-A was Kumba (first sitdown B&M made)
MC-Q is the Happy Valley Beijing Mega Coaster.
DM-I is Draken at Gyeongju World
This can often be seen on stickers on the ends of track pieces as in this piece for LC-I which is Harpy.
Or in handy cases when they write it in massive letters as in these pieces of D6-E which was Valkyria.
The complete lists of track ident codes are
SC - Sitting/Floorless
MC - Mega Coaster
LC - Flying Coaster
DM - Large Dive Machine
D6 - Smaller Model Dive Machine
IC - One of the first 26 Inverted Coasters
IC2 - Inverted Coaster 27 onwards
FI - Family Inverted Coaster
SU - Stand-up (Assumed at this point)
We have nailed down every Dive Machine code and the Wings are looking quite good. But we have almost nothing on Inverted and Sitdown and Nothing at all on Stand-Up coasters yet. What are the chances anyone has any members have shots of some older coaster track before it went in?
You may ask why we are doing this. Well the main reason is we are nerds and find it interesting
But it has thrown up some interesting tidbits. For example Yukon Striker comes before Valravn in the code list suggesting that was agreed first or at least at the same time. (this is the main reason we havent just put all the rides in based on date alone) And there is a missing hyper coaster that presumably never got built. We know MC-J was Intimidator and MC-O was Mako. We dont know which ones K, L, M and N were but only 3 hypers were built in that time Leviathan, Shambhala, and Fury325 so one letter is missing for some reason.
There is also a missing Sitdown Coaster after Hair Raiser and before the one currently at the plant. Hair Raiser was SC-R and the one at the plant (probably Transformers for Universal Beijing) is SC-U. We dont know S and T but only Nitro at Adlabs Imagica was built between those rides so one is missing.
Its a long shot but if anyone has any track pictures that can fill in these gaps I'd be very grateful.

You're making nerdiness awesome. Extraordinary insight and dedication to research as always!

What was Inverted #27 and is there a physical difference between IC and IC2 track?
EDIT... oh because 26 letters of the alphabet. That makes sense.

Managed to add quite a few more to the list now. The Wing Coasters are now complete and we are just missing 2 Mega Coasters with Shambhala and Fury325.
Interestingly there are still 2 Wing Coasters that haven't shown up (K and L) and we have 2 new unknown Mega Coasters (S and T)
I've gone through hundreds of pages of Fury 325 chat. I cant believe no one took a photo of the stickers on the track. There's tons of pictures of the track from various angles even close ups but no one put up a picture of the sticker.

I wish...if only a second B&M came into Drayton ManorNot Drayton Manor's G-Force replacement then?

Some people think B&M had something to do with Shockwave because of the track style. To be fair, Giovanola did subcontract Shockwave, but B&M had already split off from Giovanola by the time Shockwave was built.

We actually picked up Talon recently and correct it is IC-V. Found a good picture with the whole sticker on it but I'll be damned if i can find the picture again this evening.
Ive always wondered about the longer codes like those you mentioned. I had the feeling they were less to do with the project number itself and more the position within the ride itself.

It's already on the list as MC-K.
Just a few posts up:
New track at the B&M plant
Reviving a long dead topic but didnt want to start a new one for essentially the same thing. Perhaps this should just be renamed a B&M Track Plant topic since it happens a few times a year? Anyone want to photoshop a literal B&M track potted plant to use in the OP?

We saw quite a few trucks with large diameter steel tube heading south on I-71 after we left Kings Island. I'd bet money that they were all headed to Clermont Steel and those will end up getting fabricated into support tubes for either the Kiga or Sea World San Diego's mini dive.

We should probably rename this the B&M plant discussion thread or something along those lines...
Are there only two B&Ms planned for next year overall? So far there are only two coasters being/have been produced at the plant.
