Maverick44

Caption on this was do not build a woodie without it....Pyrogaurd.

It will be taller then 100ft. Just dunno by how much.

That would be insane.......if it were possible haha

I can dig it!

No one knows anything. So that's the whole point of this forum. Let them guess. I mean at this point anything is possible. Those blueprints really don't give much details but a layout.

yes they will want to hype whatever they build. Its just....that video if the coaster is that.....Boring. IMO

I like that speculation! Yeah it would be faster than that if we are talking a 198ft drop. The rest looks great!Also, We are calm! 74 mph is more realistic. 74 would give them the record. 74 is nice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cedar Fair removed the entire park from my park... But that's a story for another time... Since I missed the numbers game, here's my entry: 3250ft / 165ft Maverick44, define "popular" because Magnum, Gemini, Raptor, and Gatekeeper are huge people movers every season. Maverick and Dragster barely fit in the top 10 in ridership. And no, CF is not purchasing the lumber locally. Yes, they will be adding to the area, more than just the new ride. What else did I miss? Are you kidding. Maverick is top 6 in ridership. Show me your facts sir. Maverick may have the longest lines of any ride at that park. First, let's look at the top 10 coasters: 1 Gatekeeper 1,898,204 2 Millennium Force 1,721,918 3 Raptor 1,414,447 4 Magnum XL-200 1,355,861 5 Gemini 1,298,304 6 Maverick 1,153,896 7 Iron Dragon 1,092,242 8 Top Thrill Dragster 1,077,885 9 Mantis 925,667 10 Wicked Twister 794,264 That is from Cedar Point itself. I am aware of the numbers, which is where my statement came from. Maverick has one of the slowest lines in the park, that doesn't equate to more popularity. Millennium Force is probably the most "reliable" ride Intamin has made, and that thing snapped the lift cable in less than 2 seasons. If it didn't run 36 people per train, that line would be barely faster than Maverick's. The B&M rides are, undoubtedly, more popular when it comes to ridership. They just make quick work of crowds so the lines don't ever get as long. Great to know your opinion! Thank you...so can we talk about KI and the new coaster they are getting now?

I like that speculation! Yeah it would be faster than that if we are talking a 198ft drop. The rest looks great! Also, We are calm!

Id like to see the coaster drive down over the water and just past the water on the bank have a tunnel diving down more then back up into the trees!

See Above. Firehawk takes forever to load in and unload. So back to the topic at hand. What is that wood for.........??

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!

smh.......who cares what we talk about in here? We are talking about KI in general. We are talking about KI Coasters and sharing ideas and pictures. Don't come in here and suggest or tell us what we can or cannot talk about. Who are you to say so anyway.......gtho

From what I see it looks awesome!! I have been there before but I was like 8 years old haha

You know what sucks....well sucks for a coaster enthusiast is paying all the money to go to say Busch Gardens and they have like 4 roller coasters haha. They are great coasters and I know they are a more family oriented park. Oh well just ranting. I was going to go to Williamsburg this summer but changed my mind to go to Carowinds. Hershey Park is my 2017 park.

Apollo's Chariot!!!

not all of that land is necessarily for the coater, CF has been making grand plazas for their new rides. You have to think that a lot of that land could be concrete for the plaza and the queue. They would also need land for a gift shop coming out of the exit, I imagine they'll capitalize on that as well. I suspect the entrance, exit, gift shop, etc will all be located where the old funnel cake stand was located. The park will not want the expense of another train crossing. Right, I do not expect a " grand entrance" with this coaster. Not like Gatekeeper and Valravn

The Racer revived the roller coaster industry in the 70's. It has a very important place in coaster history and untouchable IMO.But Cedar Fair removed the racing coaster at my park. So I certainly wouldn't put it past them.... I am sure they will never do anything with those. Just a conversation piece. As for that chunk of land. The last 2 grand plaza's were because they made a front entrance and a marina entrance. This coaster doesn't have an entrance near it. I wouldn't be so sure about the " grand plaza " treatment with this coaster. I can tell they may not need the little sun block things over the lines because they could be in shade from trees. I hope this is a ground hugger like Maverick. Flying through the woods ground level twisting and turning and driving through tunnels would be awesome! No...not saying Intamin. Anything with a big drop going fast and down through tunnels. Man I am excited! haha

I'm sure Don would be.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk They should put one going backward again!

I know people love The Racers. Would anyone be against an RMC conversion with those? lol

I like the way you think but I am not sure that RMC would build that tall???Wildfire is 187 feet. What's 3 more feet?Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk I just didn't know.....I wasn't saying they won't......Hell a 200ft RMC would be intense!

I like the way you think but I am not sure that RMC would build that tall???

Man, That is a big chunk of land cleared. This thing may be bigger then we think!

Need some footers before a big pile of wood. No reason to have stacks of stuff sitting around of you don't have the space.Judging by how the materials showed up just-in-time for the retaining wall, I expect a well-oiled construction schedule here. The way I understand it alot of the wood coasters are prefab so it coms in sections. I imagine we will start see things by the end of August. If you have the time check out this video shows a little how coasters are constructed.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Still where are these prefabbed at? I mean somewhere not too far has to have all this wood? haha Id like to see this!
