Can’t wait to enjoy me some brake run. Slowing down over a long distance is my jam.

Launched RMC Cowboy coaster incoming!

The blue track near Don looks darker than in the animation. The animation shows more of a lighter baby blue color with some green hues, but maybe it’s the lighting. I know it will fade a bit too. I do really like the light blue color in the birdseye view, looks sharp. Also hoping for some green lighting.

I had heard someone mention 82, but probably between 80-85 is my guess.

Everyone: “Oh look, a giga!” Absolutely No One: KI Fandom: “OMG, what? Blue Racer will run backwards next year!” Buys 10 gold passes only to find out it was a ruse. LoL

I’m calling Uranus Major as the name of the new ride. Heard it here first

Honest question: Why does everyone get so juiced over seeing track? Once I knew it was blue with white supports, I lost interest until it goes up. Maybe cranes are my thing??

My 12yr old son and I rode this past weekend. Loved the ride (very re-rideable and smooth compared to Thunderhead) and theming of the shed, but could have done without the screens which I feel are a distraction from the other cool stuff in the shed like props, flickering lights, etc.. My son even said the animations were pretty cheesy, but perhaps they'll improve.

It's obviously a Peppermint Patty themed smoking area {

I highly doubt we'll see the RMC treatmentSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Not meaning to add to the GCI vs RMC debate, but my son and I rode Lighning Rod at Dollywood this weekend. It was the most exhilarating ride we've ever been on. We were both speechless when it finally came to an end. It is amazing! In comparison, Thunderhead was forgettable and my 11 yr old son refused to ride it a second time. Don't flame me, I'm just reporting our experience.

It would appear from the announcement last night that some blue/green lighting might be incorporated into the theming and would make for an awesome night experience. Some of these colors are in the logo as well.

They could probably excite everyone if the shed contained a launch so the coaster would exit out of the back of the red shed seen in the video, complete a loop of some sort, and then cross over or under the shed launch and back to the station. I'm a dreamer though ;o)

I don't recall seeing an "L" shaped element in the submitted plans, so could there before to this than meets the eye?

If they add a LIM launch in the shed and add about 2000 more ft of track, I can get on board with that.

Overhyped and feeling seriously underwhelmed. Glad to see the park get a new ride and I'm sure I'll ride and enjoy it, but really? KI should be finished with wood coasters now for a long time.

Did Don walk by like this? http://2.media.dorkly.cvcdn.com/42/30/1ee6342c35b54a63098096a532492570.gif

I've enjoyed this thread, but it is quickly becoming a dumpster fire. I want to thank all those that have posted pictures and look forward to the construction updates after tomorrow's announcement in a new thread. Thank you, I'm out.

I'm still hoping for a name like Howling Timbers, Timber Falls, or Lumberjack's Run, something relatable. I'm not a big fan of the goofy, mythological names that CF has been using of late.

More pics of progress please and special thanks to all those that post them!

How about Howling Timbers for a name? Could relate to a creature without specifically naming one.

Ok a prediction, based on clues so far .... Antique electric logging truck ride with some terrain elements (not just flat) with the concomitant construction of a wooden hybrid coaster (RMC or GCI, doesn't matter as long as it's fun!) having at least one barrel roll and travel over WWC with both rides interacting in some way. The ride will be called "Timbercat" or "Timberchicken". Lol. I can dream, can't I?

Haha. It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a Lion and Tiger mixed, bred for its magic skills. Lol

Has anyone considered the name "Timbercat"? Falling trees = timber + cat clues
