    KI already jumped to advising winterfest on the front page of the website. I was hoping for a teaser on there if not at the park, but after combing through each page I can't find anything unusual

    I guess there are no teasers, then? The silence is surprising.

    I'm assuming teasers would be on the fence and that video was from ET so maybe they just haven't made it back there yet? Colin should have been arriving around 20-30 mins ago but will need time to go through security and walk back there so don't lose hope just yet

    I wonder who actually hangs up the teasers?

    It could just be a supervisor or employee who is told the morning of, but I personally like to imagine Don zooming through KI in the middle of the night on a golf cart, dressed in all black, armed with a staple gun and some teaser posters

    I'm looking forward to announcement day. I wonder if it will be announced midday like the antique cars or after 10 pm like Banshee and Mystic Timbers. 

    I feel confident that it will be at night. My theory is that in order to do the video they have to have darkness for a projector. Antique cars wasn't a huge announcement so they were able to do it during the day because they were indoors. This will be a huge announcement with lots of people there so will have to be outside, most likely at the site.

     I predict the video will be on a projector screen hung on the side of the FOF building with the announcement around 10pm on a Saturday, probably August 10th

    Yes, but I’m starting to agree that once grand carnivale is over, they will start teasing

    Yeah I'm starting to think that too since there is only two days left lol 

    Now I'm wondering if it will be Monday, the day after GC ends, or next Friday or even later ... or maybe none at all. At least it is finally July so stuff should get interesting real soon. I'm mostly looking forward to having the theme and name confirmed/announced.

    Oops my keyboard on my phone went crazy for a second, I meant is there any teasers on the fence or around the park today?

    This is what I came here for, I was hoping someone would see some teasers on the fence today

    So the more I think about it the more I think the new coaster won't be space themed. It's just too similar to FOF. None of the other areas in the park have rides that match that well. If they did make is space/alien/rocket theme then they would need to stick with that for all other future rides or attractions in Xbase if they ever expand, which they probably will in the next 10-15 years I would think. 

    So I'm wondering what everyone thinks some possible themes could be that would go with Xbase/FOF but not be space themed? Let's also assume Orion and Polaris are not the name since we don't know that one of those will be it yet. 

    Im thinking :

    futuristic 

    Military/ jet

    Mad scientist 

     

    any other ideas?

    My guess is now that they have the station footers drilled, they were able to physically look down the line and noticed the trees were too close to the eventual track location and needed cut back. The plans would show flats if they were going to be any. If that was the plan, they probably wouldn't have the station where its at blocking off expansion areas. 

    This is what I think too. After seeing it in person, they aren't widening it by THAT much so far. Maybe 5-10 feet wider down the bulk of the length. I honestly don't think we would have noticed if it weren't for the actual trees laying in the clearing

    Of the drop area where the clearing is and an overall view of it as well!  :)

    Is there clearing happening in just the drop ravine area or back by the end of The Racer, or both? 

    Both
