Diamondback FOF

My prediction: Height: 218 (there's room for it to be 200-220 feet tall, depending on angle, plus starting height) Length: 3806 (based on the blueprints, I wanna say 3680-3900 feet; dont see it being much more) Inversions: 7 Edit: to comply with new info, I guess 4086 feet long.

For what it's worth...I can't find a record of any new trademarks being filed.

And from the blueprints, you can also see doors that you will have to open to get inside. Hopefully this means a lot of themeing. (You also can see an exit door.Just hard to make sense of it. I'm curious why it's all blacked out and doesn't have the individual steps drawn, unless it was a ramp I wish there were steps because then I could figure out station height. Its "blackend" or "thickened" up as you say, because that is the background information for that particular drawing. The intent of that particular drawing is to show the items labeled T-TA-3, and P-19F. Dollar to a donut says this is a site utility plan. The T-TA-3 that is being relocated is probably a transformer, the P-19-F is probably a pull station, the darkened lines running b/w the 2 items, then down the page is probably electrical conduit. It could be storm drainage as well, or perhaps even another utility. Anyhoo, lets just assume its electrical stuff, doesn't exactly matter to your question... Sorry if this was answered (responding as I read) but this is from the documents from the site electric. They're drawing the electric from the transformer near Delirium, I believe, and having the main power for the ride being "above" the station on the drawing.

Idk that this is exactly where/how the entrance would be, but it's the general area. Btw this is a screenshot from the video that originally leaked the blue prints. Edit: is the Dippin Dots guy an acceptable answer for where I got this? but seriously...is HAS been said before. Edit 2: I couldn't tell if it looked like 7 or 8 cars. It doesn't look like I'm getting my staggered/stadium seating

I already asked... Unfortunately, the pictures I posted are all I have. I think what I posted is all of the "detailed" stuff.

That black does not represent the fence...however that particular area is about where the fence would be. I didn't notice drains there; only near the queue and station area. Of course, I wasn't looking for drains there so I very easily could've overlooked them haha

No, it's to the left of the ice cream place, and just next to the "graveyard" (as I explained )

^unless, of course, said blue prints are fake and everything is a diversion Happy Holidays, guys!

And for your guy's convenience: http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab289/AlexRB1994/1375829491.jpg http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab289/AlexRB1994/1375829507.jpg 47 hours, 8 minutes until all is known. Edit: @ gingerkid: Patrick Michael?

I feel like it could be more for people who are paying for parking, not pass holders. Pass holders get a receipt but wouldn't need it maybe?

More randomness from my day... http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab289/AlexRB1994/1375829500.jpg

-via KingsIslandPR twitterSoooo the announcement will involve unwrapping something (a 5,000 pound piece of track). After which, we toast to new beginning while fireworks go off in the background? WOOOOO Edit: late haha

I'm trying to read and get caught up so this may have been answered but...The blueprints in the video are 100% real and accurate for what was filed with the city. And nothing had been changed on those in terms of the front gate area. On the first page it's perfectly oriented to cover Invertigo and the ticketing/season pass processing room. They may be making some modifications to the front of the park in that area, there are very recent tree removals in the front service entrance area. I don't see a redirect of the main gate away from international street. I don't think this topic has been discussed very much, seems like a lot of focus on who is making the track for a the new coaster. Nothing looked different/changed/out of the ordinary when I looked at the blueprint without the blue envelope. I think it was just randomly stuck there. I saw nothing that needed covered. Plus, those blueprints are for foundation work for that ride only.

After studying the blue prints and visiting the park today, a few thoughts: 1. This is an invert haha 2. There will be 7 inversions. The last helix will just take you nearly horizontal 3. The blue prints make this coaster look a lot more drawn out and appears to cover more area. But viewing the site in person makes it look super small and compact. 4. The queue line will begin just to the right of the temporary "graveyard", pass under the lift hill, go JUST to the left of the loop, and zigzag until you get to the ride station (the left/rights are as if you're standing near where the water tower was and are looking at the site, and the queue will be on the "interior" of the site) 5. There will be a fast pass lane or single rider line 6. I would not be surprised if you are not forced to walk through a gift shop as you exit. 7. Surprisingly, the station *might* actually be at ground level. There was some work going on today. Pouring new footers, filling in the holes with dirt, etc. nothing too exciting

I'm not sure how much work would have to go into something like that...if it'd be fairly simple, I could see it being fake. I mean, why not? I think the logo was okay, definitely not my favorite and honestly looked kinda simple and quick. Also, I find it odd that CF would build a new "tallest and fastest wing coaster" one year after one opened just 3.5 hours away. Edit: and I personally would hope they'd make the website a bit more difficult to get to and not simply use "/2014"...

Orrrrrr KI has a really amazing marketing team who loves their job. They're creating more hype and buzz leading up to the announcement. They're putting a story behind this ride, rather than simply building something and giving it a random name. They seem to be putting a lot of work into this ride and the theme. THANKS DON

Disappointed in y'all. Only had to read through 5.5 pages since I went to work 9 hours ago

The media has been known to make many mistakes when it comes to amusement parks/ rides. Needless to say, what the media has come up with in the past has been amusing. What I find interesting is that KI tweeted this link to the article. It's almost as if they don't care their new ride is getting spoiled. I remember last year when the Sandusky Register leaked a supposed Gatekeeper layout, and Cedar Point didn't share that article, let alone make any comments about it. So either the leaked plans are complete crap (which I don't really think they are) or the park has just given in to what has happened. Different PR departments for one. Also the news didn't give away any specific details that the park is set to announce in 6 days. The news articles are just creating more hype and putting attention on the park.

This thread has over 504,000 views (and counting) which is absolutely crazy/insane/really, really awesome! Random but can the mods see how many of those views come from logged-in members, guests, links to this thread via google (or other search), etc? BTW @kingsislandpr also tweeted: Pretty cool "shout out" and mention by the park, and it's good to see the park and this site are in good standing

Oh no, don't apologize. Can't see everything that gets said all the time.

Yes. At least three other people somewhere.

Great catch! I love that view!

Inside of the "cloud" is actual, real, pertinent, to scale information. There is no information outside of the cloud...just blank paper or other writing.

Random question: have these blue prints been available publicly and no one posted them online until today, or did something cause them to be released/available? (by marketing for more hype?)
