teenageninja Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Definitely do not want that piece of crap Villain in my park. It is probably one of the worst coasters I have ever ridden. The trains can stay, don't know on what though.
DropZone99 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Ive never rode Villain, it looks good... why don't you like it teenageninja?
DropZone99 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Same here, i hate how people are always dissing on SOB.. and if i say that i hate IJ:ST people will get mad because im talking bad about a roller coaster. So just keep it to yourself or say it nicely.
kjkjkj Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Have you seen any, ANY track in the parking lot? Why would they have WOODEN rollercoaster track in the parking lot, 1 while Halloween Haunt is going on and 2 Wooden rollercoasters aren't like steel coasters where the track comes apart in large sections, so i don't think they would have just a huge pile of wood and crap laying in the parking lot!
Beast1979 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 ^ I wasn't planning on seeing any wood track, Duhh.
Cory Butcher Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 While I agree with what you are saying KJKJ, Wooden roller coasters do actually come in large sections. Not in the form of a spine and track sections and large singular supports. But, Wooden Roller Coasters do come in prefabbed sections of support structure and are simply hoisted into place, while track is on the other hand built layer by layer piece by piece. Then there was Intamin...who actually even uses fabricated wood pieces of track, though assembly is still much the same!
kjkjkj Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 then what type of track were you reffering to in the post I quoted you on in a topic about VILLIANS TRAINS coming to Kings Island? And once again why would they have track in the parking lot while the park is still open! I see what you are saying Cory. But still, wooden coaster track/ supports can't be like when X flight was in the parking lot, just laying around on their sides and stuff like that can they?
DropZone99 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Speaking of track in the parking lot, when X-Flight track was at KI, was it fenced up or anything.. or could anyone just go up to it and touch it?
Cory Butcher Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I see what you are saying Cory. But still, wooden coaster track/ supports can't be like when X flight was in the parking lot, just laying around on their sides and stuff like that can they? I am no expert on the subject, however, from what I have seen wooden coaster pieces are treated more or less the same way that Steel pieces are treated, although with a greater degree of care. The pieces are generally kept off of the ground on a wood coaster and held solid to prevent warping. Wooden Coaster pieces come to the site much in the way that roof trusses and prefabbed walls come to a job site. Like anything else, with care they can be put anywhere and stored, if used within a certain time. So staged in the parking lot, perhaps yes; just thrown on their sides, no, and even X-flights pieces had a method to the madness (atleast one can assume)! Millions of dollars is never just laying around on its sides! (except old millions of dollars, which can often be cracked broken and demo'ed!) I don't care what your opinions are. I never did, I never will. You sir, are on a forum, an open-minded forum and sharing of ideas, thoughts, and beliefs. Many people here I assure you have just marked your character by the words of which you have marked this board! Remember that! What you say today may not harm you, but if you say it tomorrow, it may haunt you! Just remember that your opinion is never more important than anothers no matter how more right it may be. In future issues please remember that good old forum golden rule, "Speak to others as you wish to be spoken to"!
Beast1979 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 In future issues please remember that good old forum golden rule, "Speak to others as you wish to be spoken to"! Ha, that brings back memories of grade school! Sorry of all negative comments on this forum website, that was stupid. I was stupid. Opps.
kjkjkj Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 thanks for clearing that up for me Cory. I knew X flight pieces weren't just tossed into the parking lot lol, I was just trying to make a point. But i guess i was wrong, oh well. I'm still not expecting to see ANY track untill the season is over. If any track at all!
Beast1979 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 ^ Tell me about it. You should have seen the look on my face when I'm driving down I-71 and there's Green track laying in the parking lot. It was later that very same day that I figured out X-Flight was moved to KI as Firehawk.
beastfan11 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I don't have the link, but..... If you check out screamescape they have pictures of the trains in the boneyard.
RingMaster Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Speaking of track in the parking lot, when X-Flight track was at KI, was it fenced up or anything.. or could anyone just go up to it and touch it? I went up and touched it. ....wait, never mind, that was when it was actually up. ..............I'm gonna shut up now.
DropZone99 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 The rumors true.. the trains are at the park. http://www.screamscape.com/html/kings_island.htm
kjkjkj Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 would it be possible to add cars from the RWB train to the two current SoB trains to make them longer?
Vortex Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Okay so four sets of trains have showed up at the park. I can see 3 things going on one we get Villain, two the trains go on The Racers, or 3 SOB and The Beast get new trains.
Cody Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 We're not geting villain, AS of now, trains are no use to KI.
Hendrick Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 We're not geting villain. You don't know that for a fact, none of us do. (Or so I assume. )
upstop Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 What if we are getting our own "Voyage" type coaster, longer than Beast?
Raptor66 Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Yes, could we be getting a brand new woodie and use the G trains on it?
Cory Butcher Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 I assume it would be possible, but usually a new coaster gets new trains...you know because its, well, new!
BavarianBeatle Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 I've seen the screamscape pics and I'm still a little skeptical. They are closeup pics and there are no landmarks or any other way of telling where or when those were taken......
BoddaH1994 Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 I've seen the screamscape pics and I'm still a little skeptical. They are closeup pics and there are no landmarks or any other way of telling where or when those were taken...... Exactly! I certainly see the Villain's trains, but I see no evidence in the photos that they're AT Kings Island.
Aves Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Wouldn't you know if 4 (or more) different trains have popped up at a theme park?
