And even more so with Giraffica XD.. especially since HW's was supposed to have a massive splash initially.
-
Hopefully not. The ride looks like it'll be drawn out enough, as is.. still fun, I'm sure, though. And DB's trim makes me sad, but it gave a reason for a more abrupt crest at the top with the straight section of track
-
Nice! Also, expect something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/spacecamp/4765457586/ -- And just a reminder, I'm still hoping we don't get trims at all, or even the track with the two holes in the spine, cause then that means, to me, they are considering it.

I love the airtime one Gemini and Magnum (I coupled them because their Arrow) I do wish Gemini could stand to be less rough in one or two spots, but the two (or three) coasters really feel like they have great air because the crest of hills are abrupt and don't slowly transition in like today's coasters.. though, I can't imagine how that affects the wheels of the cars.. but hey, it's fun!

You don't need an entire building. Like Diamondback, and other Inverted B&M coasters, a shack is not needed, only a motor. (many other coasters don't have an entire building that aren't more modern[i.e. Vortex]) http://rcdb.com/3244.htm?p=15647

Tennessee Tornado, Canyon Blaster, Carolina Cyclone, Corkscrew... the list goes on.. Yes, many are of very similar shape due to very similar height marks, conversely, many others are quite small in comparison due to their smaller heights. Unless that very designer didn't design all the coasters listed and the ones in mind.

I question the validity of that statement. I don't believe that is true for Arrow loopers.
-
Crypt building is huge and much more obvious. SOB station, too, I hope will be utilized in the near future, but it is tucked away much more so than the crypt building. The rest of your points are things that aren't as obvious to the normal eye. Action Theater, I believe is now half used for the Dinosaurs 3D movie.

What final decision? The decision has been made, I believe Don has posted several times. A "final" decision in a way that would utilize the buildings full space or something that would allow for the huge building not to sit there for the regular season unused to the regular public. That kind of final decision. I understand what Don has said, and it's fine, I'm not a complete idiot.. But, that is all I meant by "final"; one that doesn't give the information that a past ride was there. Also, I know you didn't call me an idiot.
-
Yes, and a final decision for the old crypt building would be nice before I'd like the entrance to be redone.

Whoa, since when is it called Giraffica? What does that even mean in regards to a water park? -
What do those do?
-
You should've gone at least once! Chang was great. Not sure how Twister Twins were during their years.. but they look pretty!
-
Good. We needn't waste space. IMO It would be more understandable, for me, if the reason they start towards the midway, is so that while track is still going up, the station can be constructed, and concrete be laid for queue, etc. To me, the entire ride is going to be big.

Has a track, has a car. Looks good enough to me. Then again, many flats have tracks... ugh. -

There's not much fun in ANY roller coaster without power. -
Does Diamondback have sand?

Looks like one side of the rotating box will be favored for a more exciting ride, just like Surf Dog. That rotation speed is too perfect :/ (I hate the left side, if you're boarding) -
Well.. glad to see I'm not the only one! I've had it on basically every coaster that has been mentioned at KI except Flight Deck. Invertigo, Back lot Stunt Coaster, Diamondback, and Vortex. I typically will see it worsen if I've a headache during the day and I still ride (not painful but just causes me to get tunnel vision very near to complete black out.) And now I have Justin Timberlake stuck in my head, since I've said that term.
-
LOL!!! That sounds like a good enough reason to go on it Tanslation: YOLO. Don said it hadn't been decided yet a while back. But if I had to guess, it'll be 54". Though, I'm hoping for 52", like Gatekeeper. (other wing riders have 54" though) Final consensus is a big fat, "I don't know." -- And.. I will never understand, as far as I can see, why people have so many, and unique issues with just about any restraint. Maybe I'm weird, but I don't have issues with standups, or OTSRs, or even simple wooden coaster lapbars.. lucky me.. but confused me.

Aside from a good zero-g-roll. Ours won't whip you around :/

I should've specified that I was referring to a parking lot perspective on foot.
