  1. This thing looks like Maverick on steroids! I almost want to make a trip out to Lagoon JUST to ride this! I'm surprised that a coaster of this scale isn't marketed a whole lot because I barely remembered it was being built up until a few days ago.

    When the Tan Columns and Red Track started to arrive, I started to jokingly call it "Son of Maverick" lol

  2. Yeah, if that is the finished product (strictly speaking of the tower) then I'm sticking with hideous.

    The siding Lagoon used on the Tower actually has a Wood Grain Faux Finish on it.

    Too narrow for a vertical lift?

    This coaster looks like it'll be a lot of fun, though I don't think it'd be anything more thrilling than other coasters aside from the huge drop. Not a BAD thing ;)

    Cannibal has a Dual Elevator Lift just like Pilgrim's Plunge did and Divertical has.

  3. ^ The Trains will be 3 Rows, with 4 Across, on only 4 Bogies, with an overhead lap bar. The Trains are Definitely NOT anything like those from Gerstlauer or Stakotra Manufacturing, since they are being Fabricated by ART Engineering GmbH, which supplied Trains for BomBora and Trains and Track and Column Engineering for Wonder Mountain's Guardian. The Vertical Lift will be a Vertical Elevator Lift like Intamin used on Pilgrims Plunge and Divertical. The 116 Degree Beyond Vertical Drop will be outside the Tower. There are Renderings we got from Lagoon over on LagoonisFun.com.

  4. Stakotra Manufacturing fabricates Components (Track, Uprights, etc.) for Intamin, Zierer, Gerstlauer, Maurer-Söhne, Zamperla, & Huss. They have also Fabricated Trains/Chassis for Intamin, Zierer, Gerstlauer, Maurer-Söhne, B&M, Zamperla, & Lagoon (BomBora Trains). Rutin Ltd. has also frabricated Components for Intamin as well. IntaRide, LLC is the U.S. Division of Intamin and has an Office in Glen Burnie, MD.

    There is only one roller coaster that I knew who designed it and made it, that is The Beast, which was designed by Charlie Dinn and was built in-house. Charlie used to be my boss when I was working for him in the maintenance department at Kings Island back in 1974. As for who made the various roller coaster, I don't care as long as it is fun and exiting to ride. I can't even tell you the details of the ride nor tell you about the braking systems that it has. I am just an average rider that might ride a coaster two or three times in a day.

    So you know RC?

  5. Did someone REALLY compare this show to Porn? :blink: From what I saw from the video on Youtube, I would hardly call that Porn! It's certainly a PG-13 Show, but I think it's well written and has some good tracks in it. I'd love for my Home Park, Lagoon, here in Utah to do a show like that! Unfortunately, with all of the Conservative Mormons, we'll only get as racy as our Vampire Awakening. :lol: Kudos to Kings Island Live E! :D
