Nope. However the park has been vastly improved by Cedar Fair. Contrary to what enthusiasts say, the park is quite nice, and the infrastructure improvements have gone a long way towards improving guest experiences.

I was making a joke since that diagram was extremely similar (almost identical) to a diagram of the original structure of St. Peter’s in my art history course that I took in college.

That’s the area of the park with the lowest elevation and floods frequently. With it being so close to the lake as well, if you wanted to build a tall coaster, you would need to have deep piles in order to deal with all the stresses.

Doesn’t meet fire code for a structure like that.

The park has been looking to potentially keep facilities related to employee access consolidated. Currently some of it is on the mainland and some of it is on the peninsula itself. The park uses the area to drop off employees for shifts. If one was to build a ride there, you would need excessively deep piles to anchor the ride and to prevent impacts from other rides. Considering that they’re moving everything off the mainland, maybe they are planning to move some of the parking lot off property, as they have been buying up dozens of properties.

That’s a structural model of the original St. Peter’s.

There’s dozens of markers from antiques to mine ride to stockade. It would be nice to see a few flat rides back there.

Markers, but in an artistic photograph.

Just to show that this is not a rare event And this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.daytondailynews.com/entertainment/test-dummies-fly-off-jersey-shore-galeforce-roller-coaster-during-safety-test/qeMbfZESdgBZbJp4miSEYO/%3FoutputType%3Damp

True, however, the roof truss structure doesn’t represent any roof we have in the park currently.

In a recent video to KI’s YT channel, the park did a quick feature on its head of Maintenance and Construction. During the video, blueprints are shown in the video. The video show blueprints that are blurred out, except for a small section that shows a truss structure similar to what is seen in stations. Is the park planning a new ride? The park has used similar teases to promote a new ride. A tweet in 2016 featured the turnaround for MT with a Starbucks cup nearby.

I did not write an article saying a coaster was coming. The wing coaster concept was to visually show off the size of the site that the park was working with, from Timberwolf to the front gate.

There have been markers seen around Timberwolf since the middle of last year, the berms on the side have been removed, and the organizers of Spirit Song have laid off a good portion of their staff. The writing is on the wall for Timberwolf.

I’m not being overdramatic. I observed, made a rational hypothesis, and posted it.

However, there HAS been work done at Timberwolf over the last few weeks. Considering the facility is extremely overrun with grass, bushes, and shrubs along with a some activity observed in the area nearby dating back to last summer, what makes you think they are keeping Timberwolf, when there’s no certainty if there will be a Spirit Song next year?

The thing is the bores are not in an arrangement that would indicate a building. The randomness of the bores screams a coasters. We have seen bores taken at KI in the past. At the beginning of the 2018 there were bores by the old Dinosaurs Alive attraction. Bores are usually for deep foundations, so, that of in itself would rule out maintenance buildings.

I’d assume a coaster or tall attraction. That appears to be bore holes, which are used for sites with large loading conditions. It likely isn’t a flat ride, as a flat ride is spread out over an area using a spread footing. The thing is the bores are not in an arrangement that would indicate a building.

That’s exactly what I was referencing. The removal of the carriage led to the system having no dampeners.

This did happen at a CF park as well. A ride collapsed at CP due to natural frequency/resonance event.

The ride entered natural frequency due to motor running with brakes being engaged. That’s a huge engineering oversight, and I wouldn’t be surprised if all the Zamperla frisbee rides would be shut down immediately until a fix is found.

Well, it’s cheaper fo tear down a structure and build on top of it, then it is to tear down a forest and build on top of it.

This. If anything, they’ll look towards filling in the unused space.

The removal of the berm at Timberwolf has piqued my interest.
