  1. Does the blue track possibly match the blue stripe on the FOF building?..
  2. Most movies and things aren't filmed in 3d, the 3d effect is added after and most of the time looks terrible however, when something is actually filmed with a 3d camera, it looks quite amazing, a great example being Avatar.
  3. Not sure where you guys are getting 3 months, or 28 days for concrete to cure. Firstly, Concrete never fully cures, It keeps curing forever. The 28 day thing is a myth and comes from concrete testing procedures where test cylinders need 28 days to cure before testing (and again that also varies with the mix). Mind you, a lot of smaller concrete skyscrapers are built 1 floor a day. If they needed 28 days between floors it would take... 28 times longer to build buildings. One World Trade Center went up at a rate of one floor every 6 days. In 28 days there was 4 new floors on top of concrete poured 28 days before, which was supporting A LOT more weight than these footers that have to hold up ~2000lbs of steel.
  4. 7 days... max. Most concrete is ok to build on after 3. By the time they're done digging the last few around the station area, the first ones will be ready. When MT went up, they were pouring footers and building on them 3 days later... as witnessed on the cam.
  5. If they start going vertical right after footers, this thing will be nearly done by the end of the season.
  6. I can't wait to see some giant cranes at KI!
  7. In line for Mystic Timbers, a guy I would say is in his early 40's overhears someone else say the ride was built in 2017. He proceeds to say "Why would they build a new roller coaster out of wood, I thought all new coasters were metal. Don't wood coasters rot and they have to rebuild them each year, that must be expensive!!" Same guy later on in line for The Beast, "This one looks a little older, like maybe 10 years old, how often do you think they rebuild this?"
  8. Anyone been by CSF in the last few days? We should see finished and colored track soon I would think. If not track, finished supports..
  9. Those aluminum pieces look like framework for a temporary canvas/plastic roof shed (like a carport). Perhaps to store parts under or have a dry place to work on rainy days. Could also be used to cover the footers while they're curing. I don't think they'll have any parts for the main structures on site until after the footers are poured. No need to have them in the way or risk damage.
  10. The T-Rex will be a complete game changer in the industry. It's track and trains can literally do anything, while using less steel than any current track / support system which of course equates to cost savings. I can't wait!
  11. That is a very odd place for that track / truck to be. I can't think of single reason it would be there unless someone bought it for some reason.
  12. I want some REAL flat rides at KI.
  13. They're excited.. until they realize they have to clean that up.
  14. I don't think it's outside banked, I think it's a flat right turn in the middle of a small speed hill.. but it for sure feels like an outside banked turn. This was the only coaster I've ever ridden more than 10 times in a row. The headache after was worth it lol.
  15. I feel like Voyage is the most underrated coaster in the world.. mostly because no one knows about it lol. I never even heard of Holiday World until two years ago.
  16. a vertical loop would have to be massive to take it at 75+mph..
  17. That would make it an X-plane (experimental plane). A name something like X-301 would be interesting, because it's both lacking but at the same time, fits the theme perfectly.
  18. A memorial to Firehawk
  19. Here's an odd thought.. which I seriously hope they DON'T do. Are they still trying VR on coasters.. or was that a phase? Please tell me that was a phase lol
  20. Those are nice pics! And no it doesn't, that's a pole barn of some sort for something or other.. That's as much as we know about that.
  21. lmao. To be fair, that does seem like something KI would try to pull...
  22. some people are WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY over thinking this. it's a basic triangle and we know the height and horizontal location at all three points. the station has nothing AT ALL to do with the lift hill height. The height of the track at the highest point to the ground DIRECTLY BELOW is the height of the lift hill.
  23. Why are people trying to figure out how high the station is? Has nothing to do with the height of the lift hill.
  24. Could they not do teasers? What if they only did an announcement. That would be odd, but I feel like there should have already been teasers if there were going to be some, Even a single sign on the fence. MT had 2 or 3 up right away. People are already dismissing the #5 is alive thing but ,what if that is a teaser for something 3-4 years from now. Was anything teased 2-3 years ago besides MT?
  25. So, No plans available for the building between FOF and Racer? How high will the roof peak be, do we know?????? I'm dying to know!!!!!
