What if, since we'll likely wait awhile for a giga what if we, if we ever grt a 300+ coaster, end up skipping giga and going straight for a 400ft coaster? Fury is 325ft, and who knows who might try to up that concerning non-launched coasters.. i think not likely.. but.. maybe at least expecting taller than Fury. Kings Island IMO is really only a giga and one uniquely thrilling coaster away from being more well known than CP. Something less umique as unique SOB was.. but perhaps as unique as strata coasters are.. or dive coasters.. or drop track coasters? Idk. I'm also still waiting for a beyond 90° drop at KI. Edit- or one AT 90° steep drops are not KIs strong suit like at CP or heck even Hersheypark and Dollywood have us beat by two steep coasters.

Yeah, but what I mean is make a new coaster correctly but with completely new track [emoji14] So same layout.
-
Yeah I could see that. Just depends where you draw the line at floater, strong airtime, and ejector.. ejector for me either fatigues my legs, looking at Lightning Rod, or makes me go "whoa" even if I expect it ... i.e. Maverick Floater is a weak airtime, voyage is strong (medium), but ejector makes me feel like I have more than 1x my body weight pulling me out of my seat

Shhh... one should not say "spring is here" The winds will return and spite thee... Wait till you're complaining about heat before you can feel safe from the cold..

I couldn't find any video of the snapchat video coming out the station. Maybe it wasn't the same, as I also thought!
-
Not talking about the front of the train; the color. I pause the video and it looks like a brown with orange tint to me. Definitely not red to me . I must be color blind.. except I'm not, as of the last time I tested for it lol ---- The blue train was more of a guess, cause it was a snapchat that had them wrapped, but it looked like blut was on underneath kind of. Edit-- mostly an error of my memory of seeing the picture, I thought it was more obvious but I can't find a picture that confirms what I thought I saw. -- Looking again, it's more brown, but I still see a little orange in it, but I definitely don't see that as red. When was it confirmed a red train johnaalexis? I think I missed that one. https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/843977719549497344 Though, I still think it safe to assume a blue train exists concerning the color of the truck in the teaser, and the real truck that will sit near the entrance. So I'm loggin it up as brown and blue(ish) trains so far.

I used to kind of wish Arrow would've taken The Bat and simply make the track banked so it'd work the way it needed to.. How the current bat works
-
Btw.... anyone realize that we now know there is an orange and blue train? I hope the third train is green Edit- I do remember the jeep! And the Mini Cooper!
-
They need only one extra foot even
-
I thought (the letter before the E) it looked like a W... so shaggy saying "ewe" (female sheep) made me think that was what was there... Though i could see an N also.... but it looks more like a W to me still
-
There's your confirmation.. I forgot to quote you initially, so in case you miss it ^^^

Which is a shame. But luckily i got to ride Chang and Mantis loved both of the rides.. wish id ridden king cobra. But gp sounds like they don't like stand ups generally.. Especially men, though i haven't had problems due to the foresight.. i agree that arrow loopers might only last another 10 years before they see what their suspended swinging coasters are seeing -
I thinl thats due to the growing pressure to figure out how they wanted to deal with SOB Not meant as merritable reason.. just postulation without attempt for accuracy
-
Looks awesome! Except that vine down the middle. Looks cool... until you realize the whole point is to be able to read it.. it's way too thick of foliage if they wanted an overtaking look, right down the middle blocks what you're trying to read
-
Its been mentioned for years.. but I still think getting vekoma to figure out new trains with better restraints, or even if the soft OTSR material from Intamn-- GETT HIM! AHHHHHHHHHHHH NEVER AGAIN INTAMIN! NO! IMPOSSIBLE! [emoji14]
-
I say bring a path closer to 's splash. Snug a flat where the existing path forks out, and then you can wrap that path around and hopefully alleviate traffic at that merging point
-
Why can't the train still use the east and west exts? Can't merge?
-
Excited to see when the lead car designs are installed too! Less than a month!
-
Meaning a train has been at least partially pulled up?? How do know?
-
I have. Im not talking about racers typical air. The first two have good air and sustained. And IMO Voyage, though my favorite woodie, doesnt have ejector airtime
-
Don't expect aggressive airtime. Have you seen how large the crests of the hills are? Time wise seems similar to racer's first two air hills
-
Prowler and gold striker are a 4 rating. I would expect a 4.
-
That'd be nice. Islands of adventure makes it free, I believe

I wouldn't expect bins on mystics station.. might even want to expect the removal of bins on Diamondbacks
