Captain Nemo Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 New aerial images of the Mystery Construction are now avalable. Take a peek at what the park is doing in the areas you don't have access to, that is, areas you don't have access to on foot! These aerials showcase the ever growing construction in the Swan Lake area and some action behind The Crypt. Enjoy. Aerials of the mystery construction! Cheers, Nemo Quote
KIBeast Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Freakin' sweet! When you mentioned aerial shots in that other thread, I figured at least a week, not a couple of hours. Good job, Gabriel! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Wow! This is the reason KIC is the #1 fan site of Kings Island. Nemo what kind of plane do you have? Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Man, that's a huge footprint! Nice pics, Nemo! Quote
tigellinus Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Wow!!!! Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket with that sort of hunch!! Quote
Captain Nemo Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Nemo what kind of plane do you have? We did own a Grumman 4 seater, single propeller engine. Dane and BoddaH1994 were all lucky to have the chance to fly up with me on its last flight, Bombay had a flight not to long ago. We now either rent planes or fly with friends of ours who own their own plane. Quote
I_heart_pki Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 That second picture is one of my favorites of the park! It looks so> (insert adjective here.)< I can't wait to find out more about the mystery construction! I will def take plenty of pics when I go the 15-17!! Quote
kicpfan Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 These are proof to what Robbie Knievel said on WCPO. "Kings Island is getting a huge new coaster in 2009" Quote
catzdrummer09 Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 That footprint is HUGE. However, I must say I hope they do something to that turn on the train...but...I will gladly sacrifice. Quote
BigWhitey Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Interesting to see that this footprint is amost an exact match to the overhead layout that is in the youtube video. After seeing the land cleared and the layout (if it is indeed accurate) one can start to get an idea of how this ride will shape out. Only question I have is will the drop from the lift use the ravine or is there enough room to squeeze in a second hill that will dive into it? It also seems that the ravine will more than likely be utilized on the return trip also. Quote
iChase Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I would say you're probably right about using the ravine twice, might as well squeeze all they can get out of that area. I would guess that they wouldn't do a second drop, just to avoid redundancy (The Beast is right by it, you know). Oh, and welcome! Quote
kicpfan Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I also bet they will try to use the ravine twice. Like on Apollo's Chariot the ride goes through the creek area on the way out and back. Also, on Apollo's, they use the ravine for the first drop, so if we are getting a B&M hyper, I bet the first drop is going down the ravine Quote
trint2004 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I cant wait to see how this all ties in. This is goin to be a great ride from what we can see now. Im hopeing for a lot of air time. Quote
