Good luck, and while the coaster is on RCDB, the photo I used is not. :stick_tongue:

It's Arrow or Vekoma. The track ties are triangular, which rules Morgan out of the picture.

Judging by the shaping of the track (it appears to bend towards the spine in the side of the picture), it's probably an inverted coaster or a flying dutchman, which essentially takes Arrow out of the picture (the only Arrow track I can think of where trains are inverted is their 4D, and this is quite obviously not 4D track).

It's not Deja Vu, as the track isn't double-spined.

Judging by the little pieces of something in the edges of the picture, it almost appears to me to be the 270-degree helix after an SLC sidewinder...but to be honest, I have no idea other than what I stated above...

Other than that, the picture you've given is almost impossible to pin down...unless I'm missing something, which I don't think I am...am I correct in saying it's an SLC?

^ You have to guess a specific coaster, not a type :wink2:

^I'm aware of that, but my point was that it's so vague, I'd like a hint - such as were given in the last few.

I mean, I could sit here and post a picture of a wheel, and keep you guys guessing for ages...

Hints are not given out the first post thats made after the picture is posted. It takes a while (as in, usually 4 or more guesses) before a hint is dropped. Remember, paitence is a virtue.

Yeah, but a picture of Vekoma track is ALOT more specific than a picture of a wheel :roll_eyes:

Seriously, we rcpro'ers are capable around here :wink2:

Obviously you have never seen a B&M and an Intamin wheel next to each other.

There is a clear difference, my good man.

^^So if I showed you a picture of a wheel, you could tell me which coaster it belongs to? I highly doubt it. Manufacturer, maybe, but last time I checked, I did that exact same thing with this track, did I not? :roll_eyes:

Anywho, I suppose I'll throw Mind Eraser at SFA out there...

The answer is still no, and I'll post another hint after a few guesses.
