silver2005

^I do see plenty of that blue at KI.

I don't know. I don't see a lot of Maryland fans flaunting their school colors around here a lot... silver2005, multi-cross-threading.

You could always pull a Captain Black Biscuit and water bomb people at WWC. Always aim for the ones who don't want to get wet...on a water ride.

I found Prowler's ride page including construction footage, and it appears footings didn't start appearing until late September/early October. http://www.worldsoffun.org/prowler_construction.asp If this is a GCI, it may be a while until we see some hard evidence. I imagine (just guessing) a RMC would follow a similar construction schedule.

Oh how I wish I had a gold pass right about now.

I think at KI, the Arrow coasters (Vortex, Adventure Express and Bat) will close with anything more than a moderate rain. WindSeeker pretty much closes if you blow on it. High winds will affect Drop Tower and the Eiffel Tower as well, and I imagine Banshee and Diamondback wouldn't like high winds either.

I wonder what the topography is like at the far end of the alleged layout (south of the train track and just to the southwest of Diamondback's back stretches). I know there are some decent hills and landscape to work with around WWC if this is to be a terrain based layout. Prowler on steroids with a touch of Thunderhead's fast pacing and intensity is my hope for this.

This clearing by Beast- is it after you cross under the 2nd lift?

^They are also competing against the wooden equivalent of B&M, GCI (since they are advertising their Topper Track as 'wood' coasters).

If you go up the Eiffel Tower on a windy day, you will feel it sway.

If this is a GCI, I wonder if they can set it up with 3 train operation minus a MCBR a la Banshee.

Over the river and through the woods.... Why do people go to grandma's house, or in this case, the train house? Holidays, and what holiday event is rumoured to come back this year? Winterfest, so it could be a hint for Winterfest and not the said coaster. Logically, a lot of Christmas trees are felled for the holiday season, people travel over rivers and woods to get to relatives, Christmas tree farms have signs that say watch for falling trees, so it could all just be.....a diversion....or maybe this is a diversion, who knows. 2017? Winterfest confirmed.

^But those pictures spread like wildfire on the internet. Even if you weren't there, you could have seen them.

We had footings in the ground on opening day of 2013. That's about as early of a tease as you can get.

^I-64 is incredibly out of my way. I'm giving myself over 2 hours to drive down there anyhow. Going through Lexington tacks on an extra hour for me. I'm going on July 1st. I plan to get there as close to when the park opens as possible and will probably stay at least until 7 pm, or at least until I get in all the major coasters a few times (I like to take in a new coaster by riding it throughout the train) as well as hitting a few of the other rides and exploring the park in general since this is my first visit. I'm not doing Hurricane Bay though.

In getting to KK from Cincy, am I better off going I-71 through downtown L'ville to I-65 or should I loop south on I-264?

Do we have a commandment on not messing with Beast just as we have one for Adventure Express? Seriously though, if we're seeing that big of a clearing area (between RFYLCB and Beast), then consider me impressed.

All booked for my Santa Claus trip! Does anyone have any dinner/lunch recommendations anywhere between Cincinnati and Louisville/Santa Claus, IN?

LIM/LSM technology has been around over 2 decades now. Why is RMC suddenly having problems with it? The industry has launch coasters down to a science now.

You mean the two white ones in Coney Mall?

Beast Gal- if you're just going to keep defending RMC, then you're simply just not being objective about them.

As long as that Sparta spieling guy that used to work on Beast doesn't come back to triple stack trains, we'll be good.

^RCDB really couldn't be bothered to check the website where its clearly spelled 'Haunted'?

I'm seeing too much conflicting information on the interwebs to draw conclusions at this point. I think we should sit back and see what happens to see how true it is.

Here's how you should acknowledge photos around here people- @stashua123- Nice photos! Please and thank you.
