  1. Kings Island‏@KingsIslandPR1h It's going to be a bright sunshiny day! Must be a Sun theamed coaster going in. LOL!
  2. I hear crickets.............
  3. Don tweeted Kings Island‏@KingsIslandPR2h @KICentral all over the map. #NoJacquesCouseaus LOL
  4. Steve Miller would have not problem filling seats in Timberwolf.
  5. More than likely it would be www.kiBanshee.com just like Diamondback was www.kiDiamondback.com
  6. I'm still thinking it's going to be some variation of a wingrider/4D coaster. I really would like a Giga, but I will be happy with a new coaster no matter what it is.
  7. Can we get a Mystery Construction 2013 Photos section so users can update there? This will make it easier to find them and not hunt through 200 pages to find pictures that users submit.
  8. Lets see if we can find some building permits.
  9. Hattie, is a name associated with a witch.
  10. Can we get back on topic. Last page and a half is about potholes and parking lots.
  11. I do believe the bottom of the support has a tab of somesort. I thought I saw this in some Diamondback photos, which would mean the slot is 90 degress of the track direction. This what I am guessing. So don't crucify me. **edit** After reviewing some more pics of DB, I am wrong on this.
  12. Jorts? I know what Jarts are but not Jorts. (Me showing my age LOL)
  13. My educated guess is that the whole area back there gets cleaned up with all that junk getting moved elsewhere. Wouldn't surprise me to see the old bolt barn bite the dust either. Esp with that tree growing out of the top of that booth. lol
  14. It's the Blair Witch!
  15. 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.
  16. Hmmm... maybe a standup coaster, since the scarcrows are standing. lol
  17. Wizard of Oz reference...
  18. Hmmmmmmm or it could be this.
  19. 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)**
  20. Does anybody here have any new pics from the worksite they can post?
  21. 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
  22. Looks more like a troll.
  23. 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.
  24. I think I will sit down with an awesome funnel cake.
  25. 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.
