they definitely have a name by now, considering they're already putting themed teaser posters...

but yeah, that's short for a hyper. Now I kinda hope its a dive machine.

4200 feet isnt bad at all, after all I believe AC at BGE is around 4600 feet. Remember the news broadcast refering to a coaster there and every one thought Griffon, hmm how about AC?

Hmm, well I am not believing any specific stats on this ride until I hear a press release. I don't think this is what our ride is going to be, but then again, maybe I just want to see a longer ride...

So you think the park and manufacturer filed plans in the planning office for something they aren't building. Why would you ever think that?

Yep, dumb reporter......

Found the "decoy" plans!

Well, perhaps with good reason. Press releases said many things about many Paramount rides which did not come to pass. Again, plans change.

Haha, my bad. I missed the part where they said they were looking at actual plans. Silly me. :rolleyes:

I must admit, the length of this coaster is a bit disappointing when compared to that of other B&M hypers.

Here's hoping the reduced length is due to an extremely steep lift hill and first drop!

Short, somewhat, but must you remember there are some great B&M Hypers close to the same length. AC at BGE is only off by a few hundred feet, thats a brake run.

Hmm how great were Parmount Press Releases and then the ride half delivered. Remember the supposed rumble down the stairs as you entered the subway or the fish tailing effect on IJ:ST? Anyone?

Plans change, but rarely is it an addition. Well folks the plans stated 3 loops but we decided 10 instead because we just have all this spare money laying around. Not likely, if anything there are normally cuts because of budget restrictions and over runs.

I remember the poyurethane wheels and SunCor wood that Son of Beast was to have...the parking lot renovations that were to rival Universal, and then of course there is the incredible landscaping around what is now Backlot Stunt Coaster, which was planned to be far nicer than the rocky thing it is....

3 loops? Now think...

What's KI's known for? The Beast. Maybe the SoB.

What do they have in common? Two big helices.

2009...3 loops, yep...that's what KI's known for... ;)

Surprise surprise, I knew this 4 months ago.

A loop on a 2d drawing from the top perspective has a Z shape. What the reporter saw were definitely helices.

Mustang seems really plausible to me but I could be completely off base. Ryan, a confirmation perhaps?

There were several different signs. Some of which dropped clues, some intentionally misled.

When the doors of perception are cleansed things will appear as they truly are.

What name did you come up with? I suck at deciphering things.

Some people need some Windex :P
