Cheers to everyone for some great decoding fun!!!!! And for the non drinkers....
-
The thread won't go away...it will, like a caterpillar, transform into a 2014 construction review thread.....pretty soon, I might add.

24 hours now!

Several years ago, I went to the administration office and talked to a really nice guy who said that they had been bouncing the idea of a rollercoaster or water ride...who knows maybe something is in the plans. Coney hasn't had a major attraction, outside of the new water slides, for a few years.

Just for fun.... All our times have come Here, but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain (We can be like they are) Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper) Baby take my hand (Don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the reaper) Baby I'm your man La, la la, la la La, la la, la la Valentine is done Here but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women every day (Like Romeo and Juliet) 40,000 men and women every day (Redefine happiness) Another 40,000 coming every day (We can be like they are) Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper) Baby take my hand (Don't fear the reaper) We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the reaper) Baby I'm your man La, la la, la la La, la la, la la Love of two is one Here but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on Then the door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew and then disappeared The curtains flew and then he appeared (Saying, "Don't be afraid") Come on baby (And she had no fear) And she ran to him (Then they started to fly) They looked backward and said goodbye (She had become like they are) She had taken his hand (She had become like they are) Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper) Songwriters Donald Roeser Read more: Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper Lyrics | MetroLyrics

I think in order for you to win you should have to guess the name as well. No one seems to be putting that in their guesses. Ok....I think the name, in keeping with the basic theme will be The Reaper (as in Grim Reaper)
-
Haha....you noticed that too!
-
I also have this gut feeling....I think we have been played on the name...I think since there has been soooooo much talk about Banshee and the accidental "outing" of The Bat name and logo....the true name will be something else.....just a gut feeling!
-
I hope it doesn't rip you legs off!!!! But I do think there will be a LOT of g-force through most all of the inversions, except maybe the last two...enough to make your feet throb from the blood rushing to them...LOL There might be a dive through a trench, but if the blueprints are legit, I think they are going for big loops. The trenches usually come into play when there are close to the ground cork screws....Who knows, I may be totally wrong in my guess....Lets hope it has some good near-miss theming like Montu. I do think that the plaza is going to include a castle type entrance...Cant wait to find out.....Tomorrow!!! (almost 24 hours till the announcement!!!)
-
I think the length will be average compared to the other inverts, and since this one doesn't appear to have a MCBR, it appears that the block that releases the next train will be in the final break run. I think it will go about 73 mph....I don't think there are any launching sections, if that is what you are referring to...
-
MaXair has a much shorter queue line than Delirium too.....who knows why but the cycle seems a whole lot longer than Delirium. Kings Island got theirs in a bid to be the first to get one. Maybe all of the "bugs" were worked out by the time Cedar Point bought theirs.
-
My guess... Inverted 218 feet tall 200 foot drop most diving Immelmann loops on a coaster (2) highest inverted vertical loop (i'm guessing at 170 feet) fastest inverted at 73 mph most inversions at 8 (I think the first helix after the last vertical loop actually goes nearly inverted and they will call it an inversion.) highest capacity of all of the coasters in the park at 2880 per hour.
-
I agree....it seems MaXair is a longer smoother ride...With Delirium, it seems to just get to the apex, and then it slows to a stop for the next cycle.
-
This thread wont be going away......I have a feeling there will be a LOT more decoding to do......just call it a hunch....
-
World record.....Longest queue line on the planet!
-
Hmmm...That Houdini's Escape type ride would fit inside of the crypt nicely!
-
I agree....all of the quaint atmosphere was destroyed...the first time I went to KBF was in 1979, when I went back in 2006 it was nothing more than a shell of it's former self. I was really disappointed with what the park had become.
-
Or move it to the Festhaus.
-
Rivertown could use a handful of flat rides.
-
Yes they was.
-
^^LMAO....that's funny.
-
If you have seen them at the plant....(from the road of course) they look blue and glow purple in the sun....really wouldn't it be cool if it were glow in the dark paint? (I know....too expensive....
-
What if the possible AZ makeover included a rebirth of The Bat (flight deck)....how cool would that be!!!
-
There's no earthly way of knowing.... Which direction we are going.... Theres no knowing where we're rowing, Or which way the rivers flowing.... Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing! Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? Yes! The danger must be growing, for the rowers keep on rowing!!! And they're certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing! From WW and the C factory.
