Does the Banshee rattle bother you?
Nope. They don't bother me that much.

Ride Wait Times 2019 Season
Not surprising since it is very nice out. Cedar Point I've heard is quite busy as well!

Guessing it's the park trying to throw us off which is usually the purpose of a teaser campaign.

Yeah I wish too! Before the plans got released, I thought it would be cool to have a queue like Disaster Transport had.

What comes after the 2020 Giga?
I was thinking about multiple different things. But the more I think about RMC, I think it would be great if we could be one of the first parks to get the RMC Trex model. We get too high attendance for the Raptor. So I think it would be a good move to wait after the giga for the Trex model to come out and see how it goes and install one. I also say this because Kings Island is the perfect park to build an RMC ground up.

I looked through the blueprints, couldn't really find the number of people per hour, but did find this one section talking about the station.
-

Yeah! Will someone go to the Mason City Hall as soon as you can to see if there are new blueprints filed?

Sorry guys, I don't think we are looking at a launch here. The lift hill section of the blueprints basically shows the stuff needed for a chain lift.

^^yeah I think a lot of us are reading a little too much into this. Like I stated before that according to Amusement Insiders interviews he did with CW and CF officials, parks tend to use teasers to purposely lead people down the wrong path. Like with these teasers out, several people in the YT comments are saying a new Vekoma or flyer. And we have the actual blueprints so maybe the park is trying to put people down the new Vekoma or flyer path even though we're getting a giga.

I wonder if Mr. Vekoma will throw Don in the trash can if they remove Invertigo since they already removed Firehawk. Lol

What if this happens. The end of the season, Invertigo leaves. In 2020, the giga successfully opens, but the park also uses the 2020 season to evaluate the Invertigo plot of land. I'm sure Congo Falls won't be around much longer either. So I could see the case of how we could get another coaster pretty quickly following the giga due to the loss of Invertigo. I could see Congo Falls leaving in late 2020 as well. I think having nothing in Invertigo's plot of land would be a major eyesore because of how it's right at the front of the park and it's one of the first things you see when you walk in. 2021 wouldn't be the year a new coaster opens because it would be the year following the giga, but 2022 could be a possibility. 2021 probably an addition somewhere else in the park. Like a Soak City expansion or something like that.

Now that the teaser campaign kicks off I want to remind everyone that parks a lot of times uses the teaser campaign to purposely lead us in the wrong direction. Like Yukon Striker teasing campaign last year lead us to believe it was going to be a giga-dive. Amusement Insiders interview with Canada's Wonderland officials confirmed that it was done to purposely lead us in the wrong direction. So don't take every detail 100% seriously.

Awesome! I better tell John Matarese!

Just told John Matarese that they were taken down and how we should wait for a bit. Maybe until they go back up.
-
Decoding 2020
I'm thinking they did put them up this morning to see if anyone noticed them and it turns out they did. So they took them down.

I told him they were found on KICentral.

If they are starting out with the worst coasters, they should've started out with Vortex!

What comes after the 2020 Giga?
I've heard the highlight of Copperhead Strike is the Hangtime not the launches. I've heard the launches are not forceful on Mack coasters.

No I think it says 20 since it's year 20 for the ride and not because it's being removed.
