Disney wants to track your feet
upstop replied to upstop's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Maybe they will have "Fastpath" tickets now... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
^i love The Bat heads and wings on the cars... Great theming for a suspended coaster!

I thought it was to be Thunder Road pre-Paramount? I just remember seeing a sign right at about the entrance is now showing "coming next season Swoops" and no diagrams or maps. There was also a sign that said "who would have thought we'd "resort" to this". Neither sign was huge, just those sandwich boards style signs. It might have had several name changes prior to the Paramount buyout.

How about when it was called Swoops.... ( the planned name before Paramount bought the parks) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wonder if a spinning wild mouse would fit in the tan box? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I dunno Greg said him and Don and a bunch of people road it before checkpoints were installed why not without trim brakes Sent from Me using Tapatalk After riding it without trims it was decided to install trims... At least that's what I've heard... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I'm guessing that just before 2017 seasons passes go on sale, they will announce part two. I'm also hoping that we get teasers beforehand. I'd keep an eye out around the big box area first, and that's my opinion.... -

^How did you find that out? I've been searching on and off since this morning... Lol. That has to be rather obscure term for sure. -

If I find anything I will post it, but it's most likely an archaic word that was used for "twist" or maybe it was the name of a defunct company that made cups or cones. Could be a slang word that never caught on too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Mystic Chutes.... (That was the name of a water ride at Coney Island a long long long time ago... Way before the time of anyone here.)Then we would have a "mystic" theme for RiverTown. http://cincinnativiews.net/coney_part_3.htm Edit: here is a picture. The old mill is the facade for Mystic Chutes. -
None that I'm aware of.... But Magic Kingdom in Disney World has tunnels all around the park for transporting food, merchandise and getting employees to their work locations. Maybe he has the two parks mixed up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This would certainly fit in the big tan box too... And with a tiny bit of tweaking it could fit the "under story" of Kings Island. -

This still needs a home about the size of the big tan box. https://youtu.be/nZv4z84Cbtg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I'm always excited about new coasters! As for the shed, I vote all of the above.... Greg said rides would be different so I believe that there will have a random selection of events. 1 drop down. 2 blast up 3 dark ride animatronics 4 roll over or sway 5 rain, wind, cold blasts of air 6 combinations of the above. I'm looking forwards to night rides.... It's going to be awesome!

Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees
upstop replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
It's been gone for a minute. I think since 2008. The only thing in the box is Madam Fatale.... But remember the first tweet of the season, if I remember came from Greg Schied... Praising the "out of the box" haunt team.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I wonder what they did with it.....sold it to another company? I don't think it is in the CF family any longer. My understanding was it was scrapped. -

I'm going to guess that whatever the next announcement is for it will involve the Crypt building... Can only speculate the content for that. Heck there was enough room behind the Crypt for several flats, if they wanted to go that route too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

upstop replied to jcgoble3's topic in Kings Island
The contents of the shed will remain a secret until the opening of the coaster, however, Greg did say something about making every ride a little different. Also.... Come mid-August, there will be a finalization of additional capital improvements that will be announced later.... My guess... Something is going into the big box too!!!
