Who says Mustang is the name? We don't have any solid evidence that it will be called Mustang, no trademark filings or anything, all we have is buzz around the enthusiast community...reminds me of the "Falcon" buzz a handful of years ago.

Was Falcon tied to our invert?  I also remember Golden Eagle floating around.

Pretty much every year since Talon a CF park (VF or WOF) has been rumored to get a B&M invert named Falcon...

I'm changing my tune.  The more I see the more likely I believe it will splash.

Have you completely changed your tune yet??? or do you need even more proof?

Wow, that's impressive. I was a bit indifferent to the ride, but the more I see of it, the more intrigued I get.

That just infuriates me.  I'm not sure why it makes me mad, but all the same it makes me mad.
What happened to allowing the park to announce the ride when they are ready to.  All of the excitement and anticipation leading up to the announcement is gone now.  This is/was the biggest thing that has happened for KI since Beast (omitting SOB because it was such a bust).

*sigh* thanks enthusi-asses... not you guys, the ones who had to spill the beans.
I know this is kind of old now, but I was in North Carolina working with adorable poor kids when it was posted, so I'm going to play that card.
I agree. That's exactly how I felt when Maverick was leaked and when I said it, I got yelled at for over-reacting. Whatever. It's totally disgraceful that we would stoop to this level. This completely ruins the fun. Yes, it's true that I don't have to look at it, but that doesn't change the fact that the information is publicly available. Stupid America.

They sure are. Kamoto Dragon is the name of this new ride. The running in the videos would make sense with that as Kamoto Dragon's are very fast once they get moving.

That teaser site is bad-ass. Reminds me of Maverick, only with freaking snakes or something. Very cool.

I wonder if WOF will get a separate teaser site like that.

I hate the site, but the photos of the construction site from the air are pretty cool -- there are also some shots of the track at the factory as well.

I think there still might be some people that aren't convinced that this isn't an Intamin coaster. ;)

I still think it's an Aquatrax.
This is decoy track. They want us to think it's a B&M so we'll be extra-excited when it isn't.

The timer on PKI.com has been reset to go off at 4PM CDT.  Thank goodness, because I am about to fall asleep.  Glad I don't have to stay up til 1 am now.

I was pissed... I was up anyway, but dead tired. Imagine my surprise when instead of "0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, and 20 seconds," I saw "0 days, 13 HOURS, 0 minutes, and 20 seconds." Oh, man, I was mad.

Since this is only a rumor for a few more hours I moved it to the Coaster Talk area.
