I always thought that the higher the drop is the faster it goes.
-
So once the giga comes out, what coaster is everyone going to speculate and ask for next?
-
^^On Diamondback last evening after hitting the break run, I said "If you thought this was great, wait until next year." Then this girl turned around and asked what is next year. I then explained that we are getting a 300 foot coaster and she was like she's in. A 300 foot coaster will be talked about all over the area. The locals would go nuts over it.

Wasn't Copperhead Strike's layout leaked towards the beginning of the season at Carowinds?
-
Both Banshee and Mystic Timbers I believe had the plans shown to the media and such a while before the announcement, but not as early as this one was. I'm sure the park will keep this in mind a lot more. for the next big project that blueprints likely will get out pretty early. Maybe they aren't surprised about this since they know the interest of the fans. Either way can't wait for teasing to start!
-
I have another theory. I wonder if they are going smaller because of the amount of theming this coaster might have. CF seems to be going all out on theming now (ie. Copperhead Strike). Maybe they'll build a realistic spacecraft model or something like that. Just a theory of mine.
-
I think the names are okay. Definitely not great though. Although it's better than the whole Mystic Timbers/Twisted Timbers/Yukon Striker thing they were doing before. I don't like either of those names.

International street makeover

I'm sure KI will still consider it a giga coaster and market the 300 foot drop. I'm not upset about this at all. I just don't know if they'll market it as a hyper coaster when they have the 300 foot drop to market it as a giga coaster. BGW markets Apollo's Chariot as a hyper when only the drop is in hyper range. To me this is more something we haven't seen before with a giga. This is more the Apollo's Chariot as a giga, but we'll see. Plus they can market it as the park's tallest, fastest, and meanest coaster.

It seems like he made a new thread called "Buy your documents now"

The biggest issue I've noticed is the chicken shack in AZ. The food is good don't get me wrong, but the restaurant itself is chaotic. I'm not a big fan of their system. You get an order number and you wait for them to call out your number. The issue is that on busy days, it gets really loud in there and they don't have a microphone to call out the numbers or even a screen where order numbers can pop up on. So it's very hard to hear the order numbers. In fact last fall at haunt, they said the numbers out of order and there were some people by me who said that they were waiting in there for over 30 minutes and many people behind them got their food before them and it was so crowded and was so much racket in there that it was so hard to hear my number. I like the chicken shack, but the chaotic scene it causes in there is my biggest issue. I actually prefer the way it was before where you ordered and got your food and went to the cashier.

A 300 foot drop would actually be good. Millennium Force has a 300 foot drop and it's actually a really long lasting drop. I'd expect this to be a nice long drop that would scare the socks off some of the general public.
-
Another good way to market it is similar to how they marketed WindSeeker back in 2011 in the park. They had a WindSeeker sign that said 58X taller than this sign. I was going to upload a picture, but for some reason the upload keeps failing.
-
That looks like it'll be used for the ride operators.
-
So I'm guessing teasing should start soon. The first teaser could maybe even just be a tweet by the park themselves. A good one would be "What goes up must come down #KIproject2020"

I don't know much about construction, does anyone know what these metal things are used for? Credit: Theme Park Frenzy on Facebook

That "clearing" has been there for years
-
-
It doesn't look like there is a MCBR. Leviathan and Fury don't have them since they have a very long brakerun.
-
Yeah, I think that it'll be like a 3-5 year gap. I'm leaning towards 4 years, but I've been wrong before. For our next coaster, I'm going back in forth between a ground up RMC and a Mack double launch.
-
If I remember correctly, the company who did Banshee's sign also did other things around the park as well. Like Tropical Plunge's sign.
-
Do you guys think that for opening weekend crowds, they'll use the Chaos building and queue as an overflow queue kinda like they did with MT by using the crypt building?
-
Kinda interesting if they are walking around Congo Falls as well. There are rumors that both Congo and Invertigo will be removed in the next few years. I could see those two being the next on the chopping block and it could be where our next coaster is going (after 2020). But it could be nothing (like the whole RMC spotted at KI rumors from last summer).
-
No it's the name of the project. For example: Copperhead Strike was codenamed Project Alpha.
-
I don't believe so
