Last I heard, it was still manufactured in Europe. Wow, They ship all steel track over that's crazy!! Maybe saving money? I would think that would cost more?

Does anyone know who makes track for Intamin then? Just a curious question not to get far off topic. Edit - I know everyone hates Intamin...just wondering where their track might be made.

Well the layout is not in detail, only the "area of work". I do not see why there cannot be revisions of the original plans submitted for approval. Yeah, I guess they could make changes but then Ki would need to take those to the city again? Side note.....way off topic and I am sorry but I am reading the Carowinds forums. They are all thinking Vortex will go floorless and also getting 5 classic flat rides. I called a number today that Carowinds posted that is supposed to give hints and something that is dealing with a mayor. No idea. Sounded lame. I can't see them getting anything major after Fury. They had a big argument over the cost to repave their parking lot haha just FYI no need for discussion unless you want to reply lol I don't wanna make anyone mad that I went off topic but thought it was funny.

How will anything ever be a secret if just any joeschmo can walk in and get the plans haha. Oh well EDIT - It looks kinda small by the blue print imo.

I personally went to the city and took a look at them. Even posted my own pictures in this thread. This is something they will just bust out and show you? I find that kinda hard to believe to be honest. No offense!!! Any plans filed with the city are public record, meaning that the general public has the legal right to access and view them. Several people from here have been to city hall to obtain copies of the plans. That's just crazy to me. How is there any possible way there is no information about the Manuf. or any thing. Its just an outline or the coaster and that is it? Man, to be honest I hope this coaster looks better then what that is showing. ugh o well

Man it is looking like big chunks of land are being cleared.

Does everyone agree this is going to be a wooden coaster? Are we for sure those "leaked" plans were 100% really submitted to the city?

I am guessing it is a woodie though. Just keeping an open mind. Who knows what kind of curve balls they are throwing at us.

Hello everyone! I've been following this discussion for a while now and felt that I should join. First off, I don't know who will build this coaster, rmc and gci both seem plausible to me. I really don't care as long as it's exciting. With this picture though, I think Greg Scheid is clearly making a reference to the field of dreams teaser that Kings Island posted. With one of the quotes being, "if we build it, they will come." Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You mean field of dreams as far as the massive Cowboy stadium? That this could be a huge coaster after all? On second thought, kids dreaming on a football field. (field of dreams) haha Field of dreams does not sound like a transition coaster. Welcome to the forum. Are we seeing bears on those beds....Someone said Kodiak. I like that name. Also we certain this won't be a cowboy coaster? Not even from Intamin. Maybe something like Pony Express at knott's by Zamperla?

All this talk makes me want to play roller coaster tycoon haha

It took me like 3 hours to catch up on all the posts over the weekend. Did everyone go to a different thread? Haha seems really slow at the moment.

Well, only if you assume that the plans that the park submitted to the city are fake. Yeah....true. Thursday can not get here soon enough. I hope they keep the webcam on the construction all winter long. Watching Valravn being built was awesome!

Does anyone think they may use the crypt building for this? Maybe?? I know they are keeping wood over there. More then likely just trying to keep it behind the fence. Maybe the queue will go through it and the coaster will run through it. That would be cool to see a wooden coaster go into a building and come out. Just a thought.....doubtful but just thinking.

Wouldn't mind that at all! but......I doubt it will. El Chupacabra?

I will go with GCI 166 ft tall Out and back hybrid. Making KI the record holder in wooden track in 1 park. Whatever it is it will be fun to ride.

Thanks for the detective work. A tall lift hill is one of my main "wants". I can only hope. Also, does Terp have access to inside info that none of us have? Just asking as I am new to this board. Forgive my ignorance... Tall hill is my main want as well! That would be awesome!

Yeah what the heck is that thing? haha

I think I saw someone say they were going to the park today and will post pics? Seeing anything new today?

Cooler heads have prevailed! I am excited to talk about this project!

What is this table thing we are speaking of?

Agreed. Not sure if I the pictures in this thread or others, but the vines are already growing up the sides nicely. Perhaps it is for protection of a future attraction too? I'm just happy it is returning, along with several other nostalgic elements in the park. What all else is returning ?? I love the old Kings Island! Flying Dutchmen? Phantom is making a return? I wish!

Any new pictures of the park today? Anyone going? Not many posts going on right now.

Let's see...I'm not Terp, that's for sure. But I've been here for 8 years. You've only been here for 2 months. I may not be anybody, nor do I have several thousand posts (usually because I don't know what to say, and my opinions tend to be passionate, so I try to keep my mouth shut, although I sometimes have trouble biting my tongue) - BUT, I wasn't trying to tell you what you could or could not talk about. I wasn't trying to offend you or anyone. I was just making a friendly suggestion to keep it on topic. It's an unspoken courtesy thing in message forums, and I think others share that opinion. Sometimes we have time limitations and can't weed through all the posts which have nothing to do with the subject of the thread. There are other threads in the forum where some of these posts can be made. That's all I meant. No harm, no foul. To add to that....We have been talking about this new coaster all day. Sure at times we get a little sidetracked but who is it hurting. There really isn't a lot of information to "decode". I just don't see the need to come in here and tell us to not talk about anything else but this project. After you have not posted at all today. I am not talking about MagLiz. You have posted great pictures and keep them coming for us who can't make it to Ki that often! I DID post earlier in the day...about 4 hours prior. (Maybe you overlooked that post.) But I don't spend every waking hour checking for updates. If contributing a post every day is what keeps a member in good standing, then you might want to have a talk with Terp. :) .... I promise to play nice!

Excuse me, not to be very rude. But this is a decoding topic about KIproject2017. If you want to talk about KI in general please happily go to my KI 2016 Discussion Thread, thanks. And we were. Thanks.
