I realize this sounds pretty stupid, but I don't see these orange trains in those pictures that everyone is talking about.

Check out this picture of Montu. http://www.rcdb.com/ig87.htm?picture=17 The seat design is completely different; if you study they two side by side for a few moments it becomes quite clear that those orange seats are not even close to being the same.

To me, the closest seat design they resemble is the Big Air chairs seen on this page. http://www.vekoma.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=21 Imagine these seats not attached to the chassis, i.e. without the black and silver pieces on the back. The OTSR is the exact same, and is in the same location at the top of the headrest. The seats are 4 across in the middle sections of each car, while the first row and last row of each car are 2 across. Hell, it's practically the same friggin' color in the rendering as in the shop!

I will eat my words if when the season starts the trains on Afterburn are orange.



I never said that they were invert seats because they arent, they dont have the Beam that attaches to the chassis. But other than that beam the seats are very similar.

I don't know Foreseer, she said they needed to get the cars in. Is 'in' like placed on the track or 'in' like into the park? At this late date I would like to think that they are on site and are being assembled. They will likely have to be tested more than usual since they are of a new design.

They were taken on January 22nd at 9:33 AM. I checked out the EXIF data stored on the picture. For what it's worth, they were taken with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. I might be able to pull some more data out of it if anyone cares.

In that video with the guy from VA, I thought it was funny how they were advertising for Carolina Cobra, but they showed all of those clips of FFS, sort of clashing topics tere. Also how Dani hezitated on the "oldest coster question", your not at kD anymore, know the Carowinds facts..Just Kiding though. :D
