Maverick to open Saturday, May 26th!
pyrocoasterkid replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
According to pointbuzz and all the news websites, the track was fabricated in Europe, flown to new york, and trucked to CP.... that speeds up the process alot apparently! along with over night installation.. -
They look painted though. Is that true?

Firehawk Has Final Touches and Testing
pyrocoasterkid replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
CoasterRZ, I realize there are maintenance buildings all around over there, but I do think they could work something out if they really wanted.. Go around them, or even move them back some... Idk. I never said it was likely, just a thought since someone brought it up.. -
Firehawk Has Final Touches and Testing
pyrocoasterkid replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I suggested the idea of a full new section of the park a few months ago.. I'm not sure how likely it is, but I could see a midway running all the way to the end of racer, and join up down by Vortex/ end of racer somewhere... I think it would be nice. -
Here is a recent pic. So unless it's happened since April 22, this is clearly a photoshop job... if that wasn't already obvious.... http://www.rollercoasterfreak.com/Geauga_L...ehawk/index.htm there... settled

If this is the case, I'm kinda ticked. I got the Cedar Fair Maxx Plus pass so I could go to the waterparks. Cedar Points is a joke, I wanted it more for Boomerang Bay, since I live in Cincy. I wonder if I can get my money back? I was under the impression the waterpark wasn't going to be included anymore?!

Firehawk Now Has Track!
pyrocoasterkid replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
So does anyone else think that the midway will be made into a full loop someday allowing for more expansion? Right now, they have 2 major attractions at a dead end midway (not that its stopped BGE haha). Maybe they can make it make a loop and exit under recaR and Racer down by Vortex? A continuous midway always seems to work better. Just a thought. -
KI has finally posted pics of the ride going up! Supports somewhere near the FoF end of the ride it looks like... http://www2.cedarfair.com/KingsIsland/news...cfm?item_id=487 And, is that the final color of the track? It looks more brown than red to me; or is that just a base coat?

Even More Firehawk Construction!
pyrocoasterkid replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
So what are opinions on Gerstlauer trains? I've never really heard much either way about them -
New Name, New Look, New Attitude, Same Great Place!
pyrocoasterkid replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Anyone else notice this press release model picture for The Beast, and how you enter the final helix from the other side than you do on the ride as it opened? http://www.KICentral.com/history/photos/di...um=9&pos=10 Also, what happened to the water around the station? Anyone have pictures of it like that? -
Cedar Point Hotels
pyrocoasterkid replied to PsycoPath's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
http://www.pointbuzz.com/faq7.htm Here is a list of hotels that allow 18 years olds and 21 year olds. Sorts it out. Can't give any recommendations because I've always stayed at the Breakers Express. Which is a nice, relatively cheap CP hotel, with the perks of a CP hotel. -
More Materials Arriving at Kings Island!
pyrocoasterkid replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
What is the "mystery" in these materials? Clearly, it's all track and supports, more than likely, X flight...lol -
Coaster Track Spotted at Kings Island!
pyrocoasterkid replied to Gordon Bombay's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Rumor Smasher, what are we missing? Clearly, no loop, but we knew that was gone. What else? -
Coaster Track Spotted at Kings Island!
pyrocoasterkid replied to Gordon Bombay's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
When were these pics taken? Today it looks like. Also, how is this thing gonna be open by opening day? Or is it? Anybody else find it ironic that KI was supposed to receive this to begin with (we think), but paramount dumped it after dissatisfaction with stealth, and sold it to SF? What goes around comes around -
Something's Happening at Fort Cooper!
pyrocoasterkid replied to Dane's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Even though its already all over... figured I'd add it to this topic... the loop is gone for sure!: Buh Bye loop -
As of early November: Flyover ...it was just his angle...
-
Delerium Guy, I think we can eliminate Canada's Wonderland... as they have this: RCDB .... I hardly think they need 2 flying coasters, if you call that piece of c**p they have a "flying" coaster...
-
CoastersRZ, how are you so sure the park has some announcements coming? Not trying to be rude, just curious.... It sounds like you have some hookup at the park that we don't have.
-
Yea, it appears to be King Cobra and Face Off. There is another Best Buy commercial that shows downtown Cincinnati at night..

Son of Beast To Be Partly Rebuilt
pyrocoasterkid replied to The Interpreter's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
So does anyone have a picture of the section that is being rebuilt? -
Nice update...
-
Personally, I don't think it's a horrible comparison... Recall, this is written for the GP who knows very little about this kind of stuff. Some of it may be wrong, but I don't think most people would even notice, much less care. Overall, its gets the facts close to right..... Besides in mentions that there is plenty of room for coaster expansion... who could complain?
-
So I must have missed out on something.... when and why did they take the last car off the SOB trains? What are they trying to acheive?

Intamin track spotted on 275 today!
pyrocoasterkid replied to YoungStud's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Never said it wasn't possible, but no one in this topic mentioned seeing blue track, just a blue container..... -
And under the PKI rumors? How does PCW apply here?
