I dunno, a deer hunting themed coaster could work. Color scheme camo track with blaze orange supports. Trains could be different camo patterns. And the endorsement tie-ins Orion 405...presented by Cabelas Course some redneck would probably try to put a tree stand on it out in the woods.

El Chupacabra 355... lol

Just my opinion here but it would be pretty cool if they did expand into the old SoB area and put a double helix in that spot to pay homage to SoB. Not saying I think it's likely but could be pretty sweet.

If I'm not mistaken, CF has a history of trademarking numerous names early and not using any of them. Think about The Ledge and Centurion. Don't believe either have been used as of yet. CF could just be messing with us. Lol

I didnt think this was opening for a few more weeks. Kids will be happy...wife too. Lol

I'm not getting my hopes up for anything. Lol. I know if I do, they'll just add another restaurant ot bathroom. :-D wait, what if they decided to go for the length record and add a restaurant and bathroom on the mid course. Hahaha

If the did hit 355' tall, coupled with a well placed drop into the area that is stated to be 70' lower. It would be feasible to have a 420' drop. That would beat Kingda Ka by 4' for longest drop. Not saying it's going to happen but it would be awesome if it did. I mean while were at it, why not shoot to beat Steel Dragon and take back the worlds longest as well. This could set records for... Tallest Giga Fastest Giga Longest drop And Longest length Again, just throwin' stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Lol

The Beast would honestly be a horrible ride if not for the woods. But back to speculation. A few questions. With everyone focusing on what is already cleared, has anyone been able to get a look at the former SoB area to see if there are any markers by chance. Maybe, like someone else pointed out, the current clearing needed to be don for footer work to begin and the area toward Action Zone will be done later. Also, I saw someone mention a 70 foot elevation difference. If they do go 355', the difference in elevation could possibly yield a drop of close to 420'. In theory of course. Could we see this giga beat Ka for longest drop?

Was just getting ready to comment on this myself. Orion, the great beast hunter.

As of now, planning on going down tomorrow evening. If we do, I'll definitely try to get some new pics. Hoping for more clearing. I'd love to see 8150' track length. Lol

We held off on the dining plan because we weren't sure how much we would actually make it to the park. TBH, I'd be there everyday if possible. Lol. But without family's schedules, nothing guaranteed. I've proven to my wife that passes are worth it. Now onto my second favorite park activity...eating. lol

Payments are great. Just wish I wouldn't have got stupid and went ahead and added the dinning plan into the payments. Lol. Won't make that mistake again.

I agree with you. I've always loved the theming of FoF. I'm just throwing out some what ifs. If it is retheme, it has to be better than what we have and that would be quite tough.

Could we possibly see a retheme of FoF and the whole X-Base area redone into Outpost 5. I do remember seeing quite a few references to Outpost 5 over the past year. Would have to go back and find the tweet but either Don or Chad had posted pics on Twitter during winterfest of blue ice cream hot chocolate being delivered to news stations and said there was a hint to a coming KI attraction. In ever photo, the number 5 was present. Plus various decorations from haunt had outpost 5 markings. Either they have already started teasing or it was an elaborate troll. Lol Either way, would be cool to see homage to SoB. Not to mention, possible explanation of why the clearing is so close to The Beast.

Both times I tried this weekend I was in the middle. Have to talk them Into the back. Best seat anyway. Lol

Luckily, I'm looking like gonna be about 10 to 15 lbs. Lol. At least I can ride everything else until then.

Thanks for the replies. Figure it was just me. I was just looking at our last pic from winterfest compared to our pic from Saturday....ol boy put on a few pounds over the winter. Lol. Time to lose the winter weight.

I'm guessing a little of both with me. Lol Same issue I have. I work in EMS and "squat" large patients on a regular basis.

So I spent Friday night taking the walk of shame on Mystic due to the lap bar not locking. Thought about it and realized u had my wallet and phone in my front pocket. Ok moron, lap bar isn't gonna lock with that in there. Fast forward to Saturday and I got smart. Cargo pants. Thinking they're less bulky and nothing in my front pockets. Still no dice. I religiously rode mystic just 4 months ago during winterfest. Still wearing the same size clothing comfortably. So thinking what gives. Did something change with the restraints since December or is everyone just being nice to me. Lol. Either way, I'm going to be losing some weight but just curious.
