  1. Speculates for weeks about flags and markers, links his article for massive concepts and ideas. Then good old Mr M. comes in with some truth bombs about it being just a water line project.
    (I honestly don't mean to attack anyone by the way, I just simply love irony)
    In other news, glad to hear that they're upgrading some of the water systems. At least we're getting *some* improvements for 2021. 

    Don’t worry he’s already updated his click bait website with more conspiracy theories

    We have seen markers on the road, as well as markers at the SOB station. With the situation for which Orion was created, it’s possible for a new addition.


    No we have “seen” a single marker at an electrical box that somehow led you to SOB station being torn down and a new coaster. Then lights being on have confirmed it along with an open electrical box. All you do is try to drive traffic to your conspiracy theory website.

    If anyone forgets you did confirm a Giga coaster based on a drainage pipe.

  3. Call me stupid but all this conversation seems like nonsense in the midst of a pandemic. Literally the only thing we have seen is markers on Columbia Rd. Now we’re talking about a new coaster spanning from SOB station?

    Based on an open electrical box apparently we’re getting a new coaster. There is literally nothing to suggest this except one member pushing views to his site and another one that must be a fanboy of his. It ain’t happening!

  4. 2018: predicted Giga coaster from horizontal construction related to installation of expanded runoff system - got Orion
    2018 CP: Predicted removal of Witches Wheel in 2019 - got BBQ.
    You might think I have zero credibility, but I have shown you two cases where I made an accurate prediction well ahead of time.

    Yep you totally predicted a Giga coaster based on a drainage pipe. Well done sir!

    You’re a crack shot at this predicting business. Maybe you should start a website for all your predictions.

  5. [mention=8818]gforce1994[/mention] I think it might help if you give some other members ideas that they are throwing out there some thought and discussion. After all, this is a discussion forum.
    Use your engineering degree to think about other ideas and how that could fit into the markers you have seen. Having your mind set on just a coaster will likely lead to disappointment.
    In the mean time, others that read your articles are getting excited for a coaster that you are highly suggesting that the park is most likely not building.

    The only thing@gforce1994 is engineering is another BS story/prediction to drive traffic to his website.

    This guy has zero credibility on anything he’s ever predicted and has nothing to back up his nonsense.

    How does that foot taste?

    I don’t feel like sharing more since so many want to bash others. Be lucky I shared these as there are many more. You all need to learn to respect other members.

    You’re telling me he saw those from The Bat from over 700 feet away while looking over his shoulder? You might buy that bridge also!

     

    I believe nothing out of his mouth. Honestly those that operate independent sites that spam this fan forum for clicks shouldn’t be allowed to be here.

     

    Edit: removed unnecessary anger

  7. Pink and White. Around Marker 4 listed in the previous map.

    I call complete BS. I think you are just trying to drive more viewers to YOUR website. You’re telling me you were able to see all these markers from riding The Bat and tell their colors and if they were stakes or paint. I’ve got a bridge to sell you. You do realize that’s over 700 feet away from your “marker 4” on the map. Plus you would have to be looking over your shoulder and likely have other cars in your way. Can you get a better picture with a drone lol. 9ff7f60d25d85e712894ec8b02354777.jpg
  8. I went through the various names and looked at what each company does. The ones that are interesting are the following:

    Ride Entertainment Systems- sales and installation of rides. Recently installed two coasters at Nickelodeon Universal. They work a lot with Gerstlauer but do all types of attractions as well. http://www.rideentertainment.com/news/

    Daniels Wood Land- They create all kinds of interactive play areas and specialize in heavy themeing. They did the themeing for Mystic Timbers. They would likely be involved with whatever themeing comes to Area 72 and Orion. https://danielswoodland.com/

    Greater Coasters International- Possibly listed for additional retrack work on Racer but were not listed on last years notice when the turnaround was worked on.

    Aqua men Waterslide Restorations- Resurface and restore various water slides. They have worked with CF before. http://www.aquamen.net/

    PSS Contractors LLC- Commercial pool installation and refurbishment. They do large commercial pools and splash features. https://www.psscontractors.com/

  9. Interesting... I looked at the aqua men company listed and they only do slide restorations. They have worked with CF before and have some nice before and after to look at.

     

    The one that interests me is GCI. Were they listed last year when they did the retrack of The Racer turnarounds?

  10. Well I do know that Don kinda hinted at the replacement for Firehawk last year during the GOCC Christmas Party. I say the fact they have come out saying that there are absolutely no plans at the moment for Vortex and did not even mention the idea of at least taking a look at the land after demolition like they talked about with Firehawk tells me there is absolutely no plans for that space at the moment. 
    Here is a link to Don's speech at the GOCC Christmas Party last year: 
     

    I got the opposite from watching that. Don gave a big diatribe about deciding to remove it during the summer and how it was a maintenance problem yada yada. I’m sure they already have an exact plan on what they will be putting in or at least have started taking bids and designs.

  11. Okay so watched the Wildgravitytravels video and took some screen shots. Things of note...

    They have taken a large hill and trees out along the right side of the entrance to area 72. Could we possibly see bathrooms here?! Honestly think this is a possibility.

    They have removed the concrete in front of FoF entrance. Not sure why.
    191387a0aef1a97a1f60d168475a46ad.jpg
    They have extended FoF que structure as seen in the blueprints.

    Here is an overhead google maps showing the cleared land and area of the extended que.

    I’m most curious about that cleared land space as it’s not on the blueprints and we have no indication what it might be. Things are coming along nicely! Here is wildgravitytravels video

  12. I expect we will get a new coaster in Vortex’s spot in 2022 for the 50 year anniversary. CF is investing HEAVILY into KI as evidenced by 4 new coasters in 11 years. I don’t see them sitting with this property empty for long as it would be an eyesore and anger people. They have a plan as this was not a last second decision. I hope they don’t move the cam and we can see the destruction of this beloved coaster in real time.

  13. My guess is they are assembling a crawler crane to install the 200 foot turnaround. Putting that together along with the wood platform took a week or two for the drop. I remember earlier there was a Facebook post from the crane company saying they would use one back there.
