SonofBaconator 13205 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Would it be wrong to classify Mystic Timbers somewhere in between a family ride and a thrill ride? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calakapepe 8128 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I pressume it wouldnt be wrong is all subjective anyways 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
malem 19848 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Mystic Timber's airtime should put it firmly in the "thrill ride" category, though its 48" height requirement will make it accessible to more of the family than Diamondback or Banshee. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyGuy4KI 14469 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 And we still don't know #whatsintheshed. The hype on that sure has died down. We are now in the holiday season. I am guessing the focus is on Season pass sales for Christmas from the park and not so much of #whatsintheshead. I would wager that it will pick back up in January! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CoasterOhio 4809 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Adventure Express is a 48" "Thrill" Ride. So I would be for sure that Mysti will be a Thrill Ride. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upstop 12264 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I wonder if the weather is right, that it could operate during Winterfest? Oooo... it would be like sliding through a bobsled run! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Ding Dong 10300 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 ^ Well SFSTL plans on running American Thunder, but that is SIX. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rivertown Rider 1903 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I would classify it as a thrill ride fun for the whole family (over 48 inches tall). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KIBeast 1641 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I disagree that KI's wooden coasters are over the hill. I still get great rides on The Beast and Racer. However, the engineering will be so decidedly different and will give an awesome new experience. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SonofBaconator 13205 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 So do you think they're going to do another overhaul of the map? I can't see how they can accurately place Mr. T on the map without the map being altered, but that's just me. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calakapepe 8128 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Oh definitely. WWC will probably look very different. Instead of simply pushing things over,there gonna have to draw between what used to be a tightly drawn attraction 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steveinphoenix 1301 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 It be nice if they overhaul the map, i personally like a park map to be a more accurate rendering of the attractions and not "overcartoony" in exaggerating the elements of the various attractions. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SonofBaconator 13205 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Another thing, is there any confirmation of a possible gift shop? The last two Cedar Fair coasters we've got have had gift shops with their own merchandise. With all they're putting into the ride theming for Mr. T, it would be strange not to see it get it's own shop. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
teenageninja 1743 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Maybe that's what is in the shed! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

goettablitz 431 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I am really curious to see what the ride sign and entrance plaza will look like. Given that Diamondback and Banshee both exit into gift shops I would say that the MT exit gift shop is a safe bet. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calakapepe 8128 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I believe every brand new coaster out of Cedar Fair recently does so Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upstop 12264 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 What if the riders exit the train in the shed and walk through a dark house ride to the exit / gift shop? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Ding Dong 10300 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I would be good with a Dr. Strange-ish tilt house exit. Not sure it would put me in the frame of mind to purchase anything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KingsMills79 300 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 ^I know it can't be copied due to the patent rights infringement but how awesome would this be at KI just outside the MT gift shop or maybe a different version somewhere else in the park? I like how each coaster is on the menu and has it's own recipe/item. Just a thought..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

upstop 12264 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Lol! True ride the coaster.... barf it all up.... go back to Coasters Restaurant for more! On a serious note that would be an incredible attraction at KI! I'm sure there are ways to acquire the technology and recreate the concept legally.... by the way... no soup please.

diamonbackandbeastlover 768 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Not sure if it will have a shot but expect a photo booth at the end. This being a cheaper, more family ride I don't think it will have a shop, maybe a shop like the one for Beast. If we don't get a shop id expect a photo booth like the one at Beast or Vortex 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
