Track at Carowinds

At Carowinds Connection, someone posted a picture showing off the first three pieces of the red B&M track at Carowinds behind Thunder Road. According to the website, they arrived this morning. Those three pieces make up the brake run. Well, it's official: Carowinds is getting a B&M Hypercoaster. This isn't the first time track has arrived before an announcement. Here are some coasters I know that had track before they were announced:

1. Diamondback at Kings Island
2. Maverick at Cedar Point (track was even installed before the announcement)
3. SheiKra at Busch Gardens Africa
4. The Intamin Giga Coaster debuting at Kings Dominion

Here are the B&Ms I know, at this point, that will be installed in 2010:

1. unknown (B&M Inverted (formerly Orochi)) Walygator Parc, France
2. unknown (B&M Sitting) unknown, unknown (my guess is China Dinosaur Park in China)
3. unknown (B&M Hypercoaster) Carowinds, North Carolina
