  1. Motion to pool our money and purchase an Airbus A380 so all of KIC can go along for a sightseeing ride Who's with me
  2. He was the leaker for sure
  3. That is different. TTD is a one trick pony but it is one very unique trick.
  4. For those of you doing track length comparisons for the layout leak... Existing North American giga coasters, from shortest to longest: Intimidator 305: 5,100 feet Leviathan: 5,486 ft Millennium Force: 6,595 feet Fury 325: 6,602 feet Two useful existing hypers to compare: Intimidator: 5,316 feet Diamondback: 5,282 feet Not sure what this means for our giga, but I thought they would be useful numbers to consider.
  5. I would echo the sentiment that I flat out don’t believe that layout IF it’s going to be close in length to Diamondback. That would just be a hilariously tone-deaf waste of money and it’d be a travesty if that’s the route KI/Cedar Fair chose to go. I think they’re smarter than that. After being on the fence about it for a long time, I think I’m in the “fake layout” camp.
  6. BTW, John Matarese just covered this on the nightly news and did a fine job of it. @JohnMatarese you’re a great coaster correspondent, never stop
  7. Thank you, I’ve been busy and haven’t had the chance
  8. I would be absolutely flabbergasted if this was the case lmao
  9. Which footers are you looking at? They’re labeled LS-something in the drawings. Crazy how fuzzy these numbers still are even with the drawings. Everyone is getting different answers and it feels like the only answer we’ve gotten from the prints is “It’s a giga. Probably. Maybe. A lot of stuff doesn’t add up but yeah, smells like a giga.”
  10. Happy 80th page day everyone!!!
  11. This has been the rowdiest decoding thread I can remember. So many twists and turns! So much drama!
  12. If your assessment is correct, I think I will be happy with that even if the ride isn't super long or the layout is dull. I can wish all day for it to break every single record, but as long as we grab one record I think I’ll be OK with that
  13. Right, but I would argue that the “consumer opinion” comes from what we, the consumers, think about the product they are about to release. I understand we are a small subset of the customer base, but I’d compare it to the tech junkies who get their hands on leaked iPhone specs and fight about how much they like or hate them. We are not the only consumer base that has heated debates about this kind of thing. It’s part of the game and you just gotta take it in stride. Regardless, I am having a blast watching everyone try to cobble these puzzle pieces together. Decoding threads are my absolute favorite. I for one cannot wait to see an official announcement and argue at length over the quality of the ride lol. Everyone has a different opinion and it’s fun for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  14. I will preface what I am about to say by acknowledging that we haven’t seen an announcement yet, so the final verdict is still out on this thing. Best we can do right now is talk about how good or bad we think this thing will be. That said, to paraphrase what someone said on Reddit, it is not like King’s Island is giving us a birthday present. It is a product that they are trying to sell to consumers. We are allowed to criticize it if we feel they are missing the mark. Similar to how people break down every new iPhone release. You do a bad job, and you get criticism. It’s as simple as that.
  15. Dang, just left my house for work, totally could have provided a better photo. When I get home for the day I’ll try to provide good photos of all the pages or scan them into a PDF document if I can
  16. I don’t think it’s a conscious risk thing. I think it could be as simple as someone not realizing how serious it is until after they posted. A genuine mistake. I just see no reason to believe it’s fake and hold out hope for something better y’know? Just gonna wait this one out, not get my hopes up, and go off what we know is legit and approved via the city.
  17. Yes it’s partial. Which means the scale on the lift hill blueprint is correct and the first lift hill is only 200ish feet high. However, the second mid-course lift hill (ala The Beast) will be 380 feet and that’s where the true yeeting begins on our 10,000 ft journey on our record breaking coaster. I heard it from a higher up. Trust me.
  18. Here we go again lmao If this giga is as any bit as chaotic as this thread, we’re in for a treat.
  19. Go back to page 40-45ish. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.
  20. I am consistently amazed at the tiny details you guys pick up on
  21. I am putting absolutely zero stock into this idea because I kinda doubt that is the case. But I am getting a chuckle out of thinking about how weird things will get around here if there does turn out to be more clearing at some point.
  22. I am so ready for "Yeehaw Diamondback"
  23. I will be there on day 1 no matter what it is. EDIT: Also, the very nature of "decoding" means it will sound like people are complaining sometimes even when they aren't. There's a lot of "ifs" involved so people say things frequently like "That seems kinda xyz" which often sounds like it's complaining. It is not. It's trying to figure things out that aren't quite obvious yet. If that's not your type of game that's totally cool. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
