  1. The rollercoaster in the background certainly looks a lot like Voyage....

  5. I am so very excited for this ride... I think this is exactly what Kings Island needed... it needed a good mid-sized woodie that can stack up against The Beast and Racer. Also with what Greg said..... another announcement for another "attraction" in August?? That got me genuinely curious.... Cannot wait to continue to see how this ride will take shape! Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of the construction today, but other members on here probably did... feel free to post pictures!
  6. Just wanted to say. Thanks for the ride. It's going to be so exciting following its progress! To the KIC Community, thank you. -stashua123
  7. Someone is expressing condolences for Zephyr.
  8. We did this for the Banshee Construction Progress....... The thread started on August 3rd a full 5 days before the announcement and someone else other than an admin started the thread.
  9. MYSTIC TIMBERS CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS Its that time again, since it is looking like we will be getting a wooden roller coaster next year, its time to make a thread about its construction progress and how it progresses over time. Once we know its name I will change the topic title. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few ground rules before we start. PLEASE source every source you get if it is not yours, pictures, anything, including Kings Island Social Media Posts or anything your find on their website including webcam snippets, this abides according to the TOS. For those lost, here is a link to the TOS: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/4128-terms-of-service/ I do not think this will be an issue but please do not trespass into restricted areas or after hours to try and get that money shot, it is not worth it in the slightest and WILL land you in trouble with the park and with our community. I personally know what it is like for a thread to get into a rut and understand there will be off topic tangents in the discussion, but try to keep the topic as on topic as possible, some people do not have the free time to view the thread everyday and catching up on the thread can be very tedious when half of it is off topic discussion. Please keep bickering and arguing to a minimum... friendly debates are fine but when it affects whole thread it leads to a lot of negativity and affects our community as a whole. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Most importantly, everyone enjoy this thread... enjoy this time in the thrill and anticipation of seeing our upcoming attraction being built... a whole era of Decoding is already almost gone... I hope everyone in this thread has loads of FUN. Here are links to past rollercoaster construction threads for those who want to relive the good ol' days : Banshee Construction Progress http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/27917-Banshee-construction-progress/ Diamondback Construction Progress http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/14571-Diamondback-construction-thread-updated-3-19-09/ I hope everyone enjoys the announcement and the construction to come!
  10. I can see both sides of the argument but I think all of us just need to relax... this will pass tommorow... I think all of us are just a bit on edge due to the announcement and anticipation and I know Is sound like a broken record saying this but this thread has been far better than Starting to Decode 2014 was... much better.
  11. Adventure Express is VERY accomodating.
  12. I believe she has already got an "honorary" position somewhere else and unfortunately has to cancel being the announcer. Maybe she could gavel in the announcement instead!
  13. Your text is invisible on some devices. D'oh..! Sorry bout that! I posted that on the desktop version of KIC... how weird!
  14. Can this be bought on the Home Shopping Network? Or at a local JCPenny? I don't normally quote pictures, but when I do, I prefer a Thrill_Biscuit masterpiece of an image.
  15. Who will manufacture it? GCI What will the layout be like? 3750 ft Prowler/Regende esc Rollercoaster, multiple crossovers over WWC, sorta kind of a twister layout but will be Out and Back... possible inversion? Anything special about it? Tallest GCI in the states? Any records?** What will the name or theme be? Wendigo... Timber Run? Bigfoot?
  16. I believe Thrill_Biscuit knows where he got that video from.
  17. Outloose Run? (This is all 2 years of High School Latin has done for me. )
  18. That made me laugh a lot. Thank God I have an excuse not to ride WWC and other water rides due to doctors orders to not get my stitches wet. I had a fantastic day yesterday at the park. Was quite a whirlwind day, I drove up there with my friend Yu Fong, we left for McDonalds, got back at around 6:50 to be dropped off as he had to leave. Met up with Aandjgoods and Ohiocolts. Did some hilarious things like what was it called "LWOTDODOA" (Last Walk Of The Day On Dinosaurs Alive) amongst other things. Free Panda Express rice which I later used as an apology gift for my mom. Went to ride Diamondback, met up with Princess Sparkle, got on there and had one great ride. Left the park at 9:55 PM, Sorry Mom for being 25 minutes late! I hope to see you all again on Announcement Day! Arrive at 3:40 PM Diamondback: 1-2) The Beast: (6-2) Vortex: (7-1) Blue Racer: (1-1) Adventure Express: (1-1) Delirium: Seat 50 Banshee: (7-1) The Bat: (2-1) Leave park at 6:10 for McDonalds. Dropped off at 6:50 PM Meet up with Alec and Lucas Boo Blasters on Boo Hill: Car 14 (Score: Me, 690, Lucas, 911 and Alec, 1600) LWOTDODA Delirium: Seat 40 Panda Express Sorta kinda just meet up with Kaitlyn. Diamondback: (7-2) Leave Park at 9:55 PM Thanks everyone for a great day! I hope announcement day will be just as good.
  19. I apologize... my phone ran out of space... again. I need to upgrade from my 8 GB iPhone soon.... I cant live on 8 GB! Had a great day, thanks everybody!
  20. I will say this.... the thread today while being a bit disorganized is MUCH better than it was during Starting to Decoding 2014, the topic will not always stay on topic and forcing it to stay on topic can be a bit annoying, I agree with you we should talk about this project, but compared to the chaotic 5 page off topic tangents the old thread went through, this thread has been relatively rainbows and sunshine. Enjoy this thread while we can, it will be gone in a week and another era of Decoding will be gone into oblivion already.
  21. I will be at the park today and will be sure to post pictures! My guess Track length: 3,750 ft. Manufacturer: GCI Height: 135 ft. Drop: 120 ft. Speed: 63 mph. On this day 17 years ago, July 22nd, 1999, Millennium Force was unveiled to the world and announced at Cedar Point. It would bring the Coaster Wars into the New Millennium.
  22. And what exactly is telling you that they were not real? I believe it is against Ohio State law to submit false plans... and the City of Mason would be very unhappy about that.
  23. I am trying to think of a name of a legendary creature of the woods, but one that symbolizes rebirth or a "Revenge of the Forest" type legendary creature... There is a Forest Phoenix. Bigfoot and Sasquatch struck out at me. The Wendigo, but the backstory seems a bit too dark. A Leshy, but that does not really sounds like a good name. I am a bit stuck, but that is what I have come up with.
  24. But the hype sort of died down after the blueprints were leaked in early June, some were just disappointed I guess, though I was not one of them. We still dont really know what type of wooden rollercoaster it is, but we know it is some type of woodie.
