The Interpreter Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Ever hear of a building permit? In some jurisdictions, you need one even to paint interior walls or install a new (or replace a) water heater. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 So some pics from yesterday. Deconstruction has carried on pretty much in the same vein as it has been, with much clearing going on behind a few feet of trees being left to line the train station area ^this is the best I could get of the "set pile" flags down in the ravine near the reservoir. The side of the reservoir that faces the train has continued to be cleared, it is pretty much bare at this point 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark6495 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 No. Let me educate you. The media has ways of obtaining information, they know the tricks and the processes throughly that everyday people are not aware of. All I was was going to do was get some pointers from that person. And by law, public information filed with the building department cannot be withheld when requested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's less tricks and more a working relationship. To be honest there are no tricks and processes. We would call the police or PR or businesses/etc and ask for information. The longer you worked in an area the more you could be "trusted". If you were trusted they would give you information. Some you can tell and some you can't. If you burned a bridge you got less. If you got insider info and didn't divulge it till it was ready (you were the first) you got more later.

Coaster Addict Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 How far in advance would they need to submit plans? I wouldn't think clearing trees would require any plans to be filed. I'm not sure pouring footers would either. I have no knowledge of building construction laws, but I don't know why the city would care until an actual "structure" was being built.I'm almost certain that any building has to go through the city of Mason. Just like your home, even though you own your land. You still have to file with the city to build a new garage. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankTheTank Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Need more wild baseless speculation in this thread! Any chance a record breaking coaster of some sort? I know they tried with SOB, but perhaps another attempt? We've got The Beast - worlds longest wooden. Banshee is the worlds longest inverted. Dinosaurs is the worlds largest dino exhibit per wikipedia. isn't Delirium the worlds largest? Falling trees? Falling records? SPECULATE SPECULATE SPECULATE! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 ^Worlds tallest, fastest, longest coaster, an inverted, stand-up, floorless, wooden giga named Steel Mother-in-Law of The Beast!!! *There may or may not be a little sarcasm in this post...

Logan Goddard Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I think it is more likely they try to break records for NA. I personally think we will see some more clever marketing if this is a coaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Addict Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Not a doubt in my mind this will break some kind of record.

bm0324 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 This is probably nothing, and just a coincidence but has anyone else found it odd that the coaster themed foods/restaurants are gone? Banshee Twist went away without warning last month. And now the Snake Pit (right by Diamondback) is supposedly now "Rivertown Hot Dog." I haven't been there to see the hot dog place but this is what I've heard...and I'll be pretty sad if those cheesesteaks are gone.

silver2005 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 If Kings Island is getting rid of the slight variety of food they do have (the one thing kind of going for the food department), then the food department will be in even worse shape than I thought. I think its time for a complete overhaul in the food department. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably nothing but it makes me wonder why those things just up and disappeared. I know Carowinds sells a Fury burger and Dippin Dots.

shark6495 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Ugh that's upsetting. The cheese steaks were the best kept secrets in the park. Freshly made and delicious.... Now the meal plan is good for a hot dog or a sausage there... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck norris Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 There is a hot dog and sausage stand in Soak City (by tidal wave bay). The sausage with grilled onions and peppers is pretty good. It is a shame that the cheese steak is gone... Although it's not like that stand had been open much (ever??) This season anyway.

bm0324 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've seen it open once this season, and I'm wondering if it being closed was due to the transition. But agreed, one of the best food items in the park. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They were very good last year but it's all about perceived value as well when you think of people with a meal plan. Previously you got a hot and freshly made cheese steak with the toppings. Now you get a (foot long) hot dog or sausage. May be just as tasty and just as filling but I can get hot dogs elsewhere in the park... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever this is, I appreciate the meticulous tree clearing, as opposed to what we've seen on other projects. (See: Diamondback). I agree. Thanks Magenta Lizard. I think I change my mind daily on what this is. Just when I'm convinced it's not a coaster, something happens to sway me. Based on your pictures now, the way they are gently cutting through the woods has me thinking Boulder Dash? Of course I'll probably be back to "no coaster" mode some other time. They really have me guessing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Snake Pit was still open and selling cheesesteaks as of Coasterstock weekend. They were closed by the time I made it over that way tonight (around 7) but many food places closed early tonight, likely due to the weather scaring a lot of people off, but the sign still said Snake Pit and there was no evidence of anything changing there as far as food offerings go. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
