Oldschool75 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm still thinking it's going to be some variation of a wingrider/4D coaster. I really would like a Giga, but I will be happy with a new coaster no matter what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Can we get a Mystery Construction 2013 Photos section so users can update there? This will make it easier to find them and not hunt through 200 pages to find pictures that users submit. Such a thread already exists: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27460-action-zone-construction-photos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSkippy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hard to believe we've hit 200 pages in a little over two months. Is that some kind of KIC record? I kinda doubt it, but I'm not sure. The more footers that pop up, the more I begin to believe the B&M Invert hypothesis. Nevertheless, I can't shake the feeling that this might be a wing coaster, despite Ouimet's promises otherwise. Anyway, here's to another 200 pages of ramblin' on. Edit: 400th post, woo-hoo! Time to celebrate by baking another batch of chocolate chip cookies, sitting back, and watching the thread go on.

TheBEASTunchained Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Construction as of 7-9-13: The funniest part of this picture is that it looks like there are 2 holes for footers back there! (There aren't...It just looks like it) (Hope you don't mind I put arrows on your picture BeastForever) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hard to believe we've hit 200 pages in a little over two months. Is that some kind of KIC record? I kinda doubt it, but I'm not sure. Well, let's say the ride will be announced sometime during Haunt, late September or sometime in October (I have no clue if this is actually true). If there are 200 pages in 2 months, since October is still 3 months away, going at the rate we're at there should be approximately 500 hundred pages in this thread by the time the ride is actually announced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I still think it might have something to do with Bats. Where are those darn cranes? There ought to be cranes! Hmmm....lets think for a second....Lynch mobs of New England's townsfolk and bats......perhaps a vampire theme? That's paranormal and results in bone chilling screams.

SonofBaconator Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Today at the Zoo talking to a Co-volunteer Her:Did you see the new coaster Kings Island is building? Me: yeah, its gonna be pretty cool. Her: Yeah, it's going to be a B and M giga coaster named Banshee Me: where'd you get your info? Her: Screamscape Me: that's not exactly an accurate site. I think its going to be a B&M Invert Her: No! It's going to be a large giga coaster! It's going to be put in the Son of Beast area Me:I'm still certain it's going to be an invert Her: It's going to be purple and black and indoors Me: Indoors? How can a giga coaster be indoors? Her: No! It's going to be a B and M giga-invert! Me: 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 GIGA INVERTED!?!?Wow...that would honestly be terror inducing, and put Alpengeist to shame for sheer scale...and funny thing is, that may well happen one day, if not for Kings Island Project 2014 then for some other coaster at another park in the future...

Dms94 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 they appear to have ovals cut into them (this was first noticed awhile ago, when it wasn't quite so "wet") similar to other B&M footers used in other projects. Is that a new footer in pict 4 & 5, all the way to the left, by the fire hydrant and light pole??? If what I'm envisioning is correct, it appears that would be as far "into the current Action Zone" that this ride will extend and those hoping/thinking it will extend to where they took the water tower out will be dissapointed (I'm one who was/is hoping that this ride does extend out to the water tower area offering a little "walk under" section). I could be way off, but it seems like the layout is really taking shape, I'm thinking all the footers behind Sling Shot are for the final portion of the ride, with the lift hill extending out to SOBs space, obviously hard to tell what is going on out there at the moment. It's still very much possible to extend into the Action Zone midway. They would probably wait until the off season to pour the footers in that area. Why do it now and disrupt guests when they could just as easily do it later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 ^ There are over 30 Arrow coasters that are 30 or older. The oldest being introduced in 1959. http://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&nm=na&ex=1&co=6835&page=1&order=10 The oldest one has had most of all it's track replaced.The tomorrowland side of my favorite.

stashua123 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Still can't believe that there are still no real "hint hint" teasers yet. Or even that no news is going into this. Weird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invertedgirl Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Does anyone else get defensive when people try to say they've already announced it? Today I was talking to someone about how they've put out scarecrows and they said oh yeah they're making another Gatekeeper. I kept telling them that they haven't announced it and it most likely wont be a wing coaster because of Cedar Point. Anybody else have these moments like this with people?

upstop Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 IF the coaster is BAT or WITCH related, what do you think the ride plaza should look like?.....I keep picturing a medieval castle with a surrounding court yard with pillory square with a fire. Medieval music and distant screams....would definitely be a showcase at night with torches on the walls to light the way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
