I am surprised a place like that does not have a fence. Those pictures you took in 2009 were really cool, especially since those tracks are Intimidator's.

No need for a fence. Nobody is gonna steal any track and only a niche group is interested in the steel they have.

So Cedar Point is getting a wing coaster, but it is not the green tracks spotted early this year. Wonder who else is getting a B&M wing coaster.

Does B&M only make their track in the plant in Ohio, because I don't see why they would make it in Ohio and then ship it all the way to China. That is of course if it is the only plant they use.

Pretty sure that's the only plant they use. Intamin track ship here and elsewhere from Europe. It's not like every machine shop or steel mill can just fabricate coaster track. And B&M doesn't make the track. They contract with the company in Ohio.

I wonder if shipping from US to China is cheaper because the ships are empty and making the trip anyway? :)

On another note, my wife has been in Ohio the last couple days and called about all the local ads she's seen for Cedar Point's new ride. She's so excited that we might just make another visit to CP in 2013.
