It's just a big chat room at this point.
-
If thats the case, and it's the big red barn, you might be able to see it from over at KMAA or right next to the old arcade.
-
Try messaging them rather than posting in here maybe?
-
If I would have said that, I'd have been insulted and told to let people have their fantasies. Like others have said, that's just a baby crane. Thats the one to unload track off trucks and build the real cranes.
-
At start it does, but it has a pretty good downslope to it like Leviathan.
-
Here's the post below. He didn't post it on the page, but he did message it to me and others and was correct.
-
MT's name got leaked at the last minute, so it wouldn't be surprising.
-
I wonder if the big box is still up there with a lock on it like yesterdays box?

25 ft is a lot higher when you are standing on top looking to jump. I did a similar jump at Blue Hole in Jamaica and it gets your heart pounding. Not too many people would jump from higher than that I don't think. That being said, I am surprised they are adding this. It's only a matter of time till someone who thinks they are a bad a.. tries some stupid flip and lands on his neck. I love that they added it and would like one at KI, I just don't know if it'll work in a theme park environment. -
2014 got to 459. Of course that one had the joy of people looking at footers that were clearly for a B&M Inverted insisting they were for an Intamin Giga. That had to be worth an extra 60 pages of denial.

I honestly think that after this ride has been built we will still have people on here saying "but what if the blueprints are fake"
-
If they are guest removable, theres probably a note and/or prize in them.
-
I'd bet against track being installed friday. Even if they get it to the site Friday, they still have to get cranes on site and assembled. Maybe next week they will start, but it may be longer than that. In the video with Chad, it said it looked like someone tried to put it through a shredder.
-
They didn't start vertical construction until the end of September though. This should start a month earlier than that, so an early November topping off is possible. Possibly even before the end of haunt.
-
Also no bolt holes in the spine.
-
It could also be like teotwawki and be initials making the combinations almost endless.
-
Yeah, the blueprints don't have the track length on them. But hey, keep on praying they are fake.
-
No one guessed it, but it got leaked the day of or before the announcement. He's been told a few times that obsessively sending stuff to a news anchor is creepy and a bad reflection on this community. Sending him stuff from another news station is even worse. At some point you have to stop being polite and start getting real. That's more likely to be a random person's post than someone from KI. Theres no O in the first column.

B&M gets most of that money. They are getting paid the going rate for metal fab. They don't design the pieces. No one is backing their F150 onto the lot and loading up a piece of track. They aren't putting up a fence to keep teens from taking pictures.
-
It's a small metal shop in rural ohio. It's not a hotbed of crime and the things they set outside aren't getting stolen. Most comparable factories have the same setup.
-
There's not a tunnel. We have blueprints. Theres no tunnel. We have pictures of the site. They aren't digging a tunnel and they have footers matching the blueprints where a tunnel would have to go. Even if they were going to do some mythical fake blueprints, they would have had to already dug the tunnel and poured it to have time to get everything done in the right order. We have a 300+ foot drop already, so be happy with that.

Seems like they are leaning to a Meteor/Armageddon theme. I think Polaris and Orion are out at this point. MT wasn't a record breaker, but they teased it and made a big deal about it. It's going to be the biggest ride at the park, do you expect them to just randomly announce it in a tweet because it doesn't break world records? Sometimes you just stop trying to get people to see reality and let them have their delusions. Dude... You really sent him pics from a competing tv station's news report on the coaster? I know we are supposed to be respectful of other members on here, but you really need to get a hold of reality. Where does one find this non-existent roller coaster category book of definitions? And also, could you reference me the governing body that will sue Kings Island when they call their 296 ft tall coaster with a 301 ft drop a giga?
