  1. Why, YoungStud, do you keep saying it's going to be an Intamin giga? Seriously, I would like to hear your thoughts. Please stop feeding the troll and it will go away.
  2. Hmmm... maybe a standup coaster, since the scarcrows are standing. lol
  3. And this is another problem with this site lately. If you don't have proper terminology , someone has to be an **(edit for the grammer Nazi)**
  4. Does anybody here have any new pics from the worksite they can post?
  5. Got inspired to join and add my own opinion to the fray. Used one of your pictures with photoshop and google maps to do some figuring, and, at least IMO, there's no way its a giga. Here's why I've come up with this: I think the train leaves the station following the red line going left and down through the curve and between the rectangular footers. This should be the start of the lift. Using google maps, the distance between this point and the old KC round footers is right around 200 foot. Probably a little less. Even if you assume a really steep 45 degree lift, that just puts you at a height of 200 foot. Just beyond on this line about 50-75 foot away is Adventure Express, making it impractical to continue the lift any further. I believe most of the B&M inverts are closer to a 35 degree angle which puts the lift height increase of 140 foot. Add in the starting distance off the ground and you are probably looking into a height no higher than 150-160 foot. That fits more into the typical invert range. Granted, my guess at the lift direction could be wrong, but given everything we've seen so far, I think we are in for an invert. Great theory, but what if it goes the other way. Say the part that we think of as the transfer track is the station, and the transfer track footers have not been poured. Who is to say the lift doesn't go out into the valley of the old SOB location. Maybe all the footers like the triangles ones are for finishing elements to the ride cycle. Just another way of looking at it. I enjoy trying to guess. Just can't wait until we get offical news though
  6. Maybe some sort of vetting system such as the account can't start new topics until it has been a member for so many days, or even make a post for at least 30 days of membership. Most trolls won't bother if they have to wait. Actual people who want to be a part of this community will wait.
  7. I think I will sit down with an awesome funnel cake.
  8. By looking at these pictures, A) Someone was tresspassing Someone is going to lose their job for taking pictures onsite and posting them on a fansite.
  9. Or maybe, just maybe hold on, he was just emphasizing that Congo Falls has a drop and splash as part of its ride elements. Jimminy cricket, I made be onto something.
  10. There was no color, it was bare metal.
  11. No. I was umm turning around in the car. Wrong turn.
  12. Some new track at Clermont Steel.
  13. This is a family friendly site. Might want to edit that statement before the admins do.
  14. Uh. No. Indoor wood has been done. Years ago. Terp, your feeding him.
  15. I thought I saw where the trains are made in Europe. I could be wrong.
  16. Attractions can be moved; some have that were larger than slingshot. Always room just a little southeast of its current location.
  17. I don't get it... Look at the italicized word, then sound it out one syllable at a time. Then think about what camping involves. What? Oh, ohhhh, now I see it!Lame... Well, I thought it was funny.... I thought it was very clever and funny as well. These are forums where people go to have friendly conversations with others who share the same interests as themselves, we should all be respectful of one another. Jesus Christ, I was just kidding... Please don't use the Lord's name in vain.
