Not accusing just pointing out some fishy coincidences. He knew what X-O-C. My suspicions are high right now. Everybody is a suspect!

That’s what I’m starting to suspect. He joined yesterday at 5pm right around when this thing leaked. He’s also been pushing really hard for us to believe it is real... [emoji848]

How are you so knowledgeable about this stuff? Have you worked on roller coaster designs before? What do you do?

Is the only difference between the previous leaked plans and Dustin’s version the blue and yellow dots? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Yes please!

This is only for the station and lift hill not the entire coaster. We are also missing the bottom of the hill and it’s backbone which apparently will give us lift angle...

I think there will be some teaser posters up tomorrow on the fence especially now that the news is on it.

Yes this is what I found highly suspicious. Then they challenged someone that called them fake and said okay don’t believe me.

Not here to argue dude. Blueprints are out and are being examined and discussed. We will all be waiting for the announcement but we can also speculate. Yesterday got crazy because of the “leaked layout”, not because of the blueprints which are public record and have been obtained on many past decodes.

Apologies but this is decoding thread. If you are uncomfortable participating I would advise not to view this thread.

I’m not so much concerned with the height as I am the length. I feel they could have pushed this back further in the woods for a great night ride. It’s literally a drop, hill, and turn around and back. I was also hoping for a new midway and bathrooms. This will close off this entire side of the park again for the next 20 plus years. Any expansion is going to be done by removal of existing rides from here on out.

The Cincinnati Metropolitan area has over 2,000,000 in population. Plus we draw from Columbus, Dayton, and Indianapolis.

I trust the CAD drawing the most which puts it at around 300 without station height. This makes the most sense. 0.1% chance this is less than 300 tall.

I’m so confused... wouldn’t the lift hill be going like this?

Any guesses why the leaked images have it labeled as Project-X-C-O? The blueprints list it just as project X

Has an entire colored copy of a cad design ever leaked of a coaster? I think the mapping is correct but I don’t think this would be a final layout that they would present. How hard would it be to create this layout over a base map of the area? The way this got leaked was extremely fishy. Why would someone put their well paying job on the line and be monitoring these boards? So many questions today lol.

Question... wouldn’t the start of the lift hill be elevated off the ground from the station? Could that add an additional 10 feet or so? Also, the leaked layout shows it dropping toward a ravine. My understanding is we don’t have additional footer information for the remaining sections. Could the drop into the ravine make the drop more impressive than Fury 325. I’m thinking along the lines of 310 in height with 340 drop. It wouldn’t make sense if they didn’t use that terrain. Here is a topography showing where the drop is headed toward.

After careful thought... I think we are being trolled HARD by the park right now. The blueprints I believe are legit. The map post I believe is a fake and a plant. Brilliant marketing campaign though as it will be all over the internet by this weekend creating buzz about KI. No such thing as bad press. To many things don’t add up and certain people in this community have acted awfully suspicious today. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see additional clearing this weekend.

Here are the blueprints posted earlier (20 pages ago)

So if DeltaFlyer’s measurements were correct we are looking at a 335 lift hill. I’m I correct that the coaster would be elevated an additional 10 feet off the ground potentially making the lift 345? Then drop into a 40 foot ravine with a possible drop of 380 feet... is that possible? This thing is going to haul ass into the back of the park and will be moving darn quick through the course. I will take that for sure if those are the stats.

If you look at the leaked map and the contour lines, there is a 40-50 foot drop in gradient from the station. That is assuming each line is a 10 foot interval. I also count at least 12 elements in the small print written alongside the track.

Could that long stretch coming back have a giant loop making this the first inverted Giga and a nod to SOB? I’d be totally fine with that!

The whole timing aspect is suspicious to me. Someone had an account made and were waiting for us to find the blueprints. Maybe Mason was told to give a heads up to KI PR when someone came looking? The map looks official but could they not have different layouts drawn up?

Where the heck have you been all afternoon/night. It’s been chaos in here! [emoji23]
