Project 2025/Caldera: Rapterra (Launched B&M Wing Coaster)

[Fenrihr]

green to try and be like jungle canopy, maybe? Or green plumage? Unsure yet.

And, unfortunately, I don't see a spot to put in double-sided lockers (like TT) in the drawings. I would assume the building will house exit/photo/giftshop, possibly paid lockers.

Lime green track with stators allegedly sighted at Clermont, do we copy…

Really? Where did you see that info! Exciting because I’d love for it to be lime green.

 

[CoasterSkinny]

I did like that color scheme on Shockwave for its final years!

New mystery track

If this is the same track, it’s more of a teal-green than Shockwave’s lime-green.

Is this the track that @TPoseOnTantrum is referring to? You're right, definitely not lime-green.

 

[TPoseOnTantrum]

Wasn't aware of the tweet, just someone visited the other day and told me lime green so I went off of that.

I like teal. Good fit for the park.

That being said how do we know this is wing track

 

[guy305]

We don’t, but if it’s true that someone spotted green track with stators, it increases the likelihood it’s for KD.

 

[CoasterAuditor]

Let’s not forget Canadas Wonderland potentially has a wing in the works as well.

That’s not a wing allegedly

 

[CoasterAuditor]

That’s not a wing allegedly

Yeah that’s why I said potentially just based off the survey the park sent out not following the construction closely at all. I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s a wing for any other park though.

A lot of footer work going on this week.

Doesn't sound like there have been any notable changes out at the Clermont plant.

Red track... anyone want to guess that's for BGW?

 

[Zachary]

Yep, that's everyone's assumption in the Holzfäller thread.

Random “dumb” question:
The launch elements having theme to them. Does anyone know if they’ll build the building first, footers being part of the buildings foundation, then install track into the space; or will the footers and track go first then the building gets put up around that.

I can think of a ton of reasons to do it both ways but can’t really figure out which way is likely.

Track almost always goes first afaik

It’s not one or then the other type of thing it’s almost certainly at the same time. There is always a very very very very small chance they will but something later on because engineers are the most unpredictable creatures to walk to earth. But most likely you would not want to start a second project and dig a second set of footers right next recently established footers. They might build a structure after track installation but would should see foundations go in at the same time.

I was just trying to think of a reason why track isn’t showing up. If they needed to build a bunch of the structure before bringing in the track for the launch area it makes sense that they need more time to build that in.
