I'm building a custom Arrow Looper!
tuxedoman52 replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
Do you plan on having it run 3 trains, and if so what kind of PCU will you use? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
Wow! Just in time for Christmas. Definitely going to get the SoB model. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Oh do I have the coaster for you!!! It's called Great Pumpkin Coaster, located in Planet Snoopy. It goes around not 2 but 3 times. I don't see your dream happening. Try Tornado at Stricker's Grove for a double ride. I got one on the LROTN back in August.

Which track might you be referring to? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Yep, looks like both ready brakes are aligned with the transfer sheds. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Of course, I just meant the location of the wave turn in relation to Racer's turnaround. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Crazy that Orion's lift and first half of the wave turn are already longer than Racer. Just goes to show how massive this thing is. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

The arrows popped out in the very beginning of the season. Practically living on this coaster growing up, I had never noticed them working. By late summer this year they were back to being dormant.

I'm hoping for the world's tallest Zero-G-Stall instead of the wave turn. Oh well, I can only dream. Yes, that wave turn looks intense and very snappy. Hopefully we'll keep some good speed through the element.

I'd rather not be the first park to receive the S&S Axis. I'd wait until the kinks are worked out and we can build one on a much larger scale than the prototype that goes to whoever. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

The location of the station is not exactly ideal. Is there potential there if it's removed? Eh. Maybe. If Bat goes then I can see Xtreme Skyflyer going with it or at least being relocated. That area used to have two major coasters, but that was before Banshee. I don't think there's a whole lot of room for a modern day Cedar Fair-esque plaza should they build another major attraction. For that reason, I don't see the removal happening for quite awhile, assuming it's still sound mechanically, especially when The Vortex plot will be open. It's actually, in my opinion, quite an ugly area back by Bat. A huge gravel service road with a giant concrete and steel station over it; it doesn't have the charm other areas have.

Flight of Fear the good bad and the ugly

Great info, thanks. I've never seen it used before. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -

Exactly what I'm saying. Also, has anyone seen the turnaround into the loading station used as a block since FoF went to 2 trains? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -

Obviously the block between the station and first inversion can stop a train, but is it really considered a block? The train can't complete the course from full stop there. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -

I've always thought FoF is smooth as anything. It does have rapid changes in direction, and lapbars that will kill you if you're a big and tall guy like me, but I never thought of it as rough. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
I'm 288 but 6'5" and could just squeeze in if that helps. I have a lot of muscle which helps. Weight isn't the most important thing, body fat percentage is probably a better thing to focus on. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I wasn't complaining at all! 300 foot drop is still a 300 foot drop. Just hard to picture what it'll look like when it's all set and done. Someone said something about not having a massive support right at the peak of the lift like DB, and I think that's a good point as to why it doesn't look dominating. It's hard to dominate our skyline with DT, ET, and WS all topping 300 feet. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I have made multiple visits where DB has been down, including the night of the Orion announcement. I was hoping the whole time that they wouldn't mention how reliable B&M is, considering our first hyper was down that day haha. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Your Top 10 Coasters Discussion (All Parks- not just KI)
tuxedoman52 replied to McSalsa's topic in KI Polls
Not a huge fan of ranking coasters (my opinion changes all the time anyway), but here it goes: 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Banshee 3. Afterburn 4. Intimidator 305 5. Phantom's Revenge 6. Diamondback 7. Son of Beast 8. Millenium Force 9. Mr. Freeze: Reverse Blast 10. Apollo's Chariot Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk -
I second that; I almost don't believe Orion will be 287 feet. Looks no taller than Diamondback. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Not bad at all. DB seems to be down for the day and Invertigo is down as well. Invertigo should open soon, though. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I don't think there's an average span. Vortex's chain needed replaced in the middle of the 2011 season, during its 25th season. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
