Kight31Woodmen Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 So is this track for the new ride? I wonder when they'll start bringing it out of the crates if this is the hypercoaster track. Quote
DropZone99 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 It could be for Track, Supports, trains, bolts, wheels, barings, the chain, anything! ou'll find out soon. Quote
Kight31Woodmen Posted July 16, 2008 Author Posted July 16, 2008 True, only time can tell. July is a real busy month for business. What could be taking so long for the official press release? Quote
PhantomTheater Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 CP didn't announce Maverick to September, even though they had track segments up. Heck Dragster was announced in January. I am saying no announcement anytime soon. Quote

SOB_TOM Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I would surmise that the park will wait until around the time Season Passes go on sale to boost pre-sale season pass sales. Quote
corn4ahead Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Heres one... http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/albums/pr...08/IMG_6206.jpg Quote
RailRider Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Im sure those are for the new ride, but man they are far out from the work site. I would imgaine supplies, possibly trains on site, seems early but possible. Track will be hauled in on Flatbed, so its not on site yet. I bet they have a huge savings on this ride because shipping costs and fuel costs since it is manufactured so close to the park. Quote
iChase Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 ^ I wouldn't doubt it. Lucky deal. Perhaps it would be economically sensible to keep building B&M's. One can only hope. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 My kids say that the crates are full of trim brakes.... Bah, humbug to them... Quote
Dvo Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 ^haha good one. Based on the Raging Bull experience, I wouldn't be surprised... However that's not saying B&M can't make good hypers. Apollo's Chariot is one of my favorite hypers. If I were to guess what's in those crates though... I'd say its 5 new mini-haunts for HH! Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 My best guess is its stuff for the construction of the station, especially things that cant be left out in the elements. Things like control panels, PA system stuff, and things of that nature. Quote
TH13TEEN Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 ^ I think they did that for Dominator at KD. Quote
hauntguy Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Could also be a haunt for HH... I know a haunt supplier that provides FULL TURN KEY haunts in crates like that! Just saying... -Hauntguy Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Could also be a haunt for HH... I know a haunt supplier that provides FULL TURN KEY haunts in crates like that! Just saying... -Hauntguy DVO said that at 6:13p.m. Quote
dakota2112 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 It could be for Track, Supports, trains, bolts, wheels, barings, the chain, anything! ou'll find out soon. We need more pictures of barings at KI Quote
Whatever6750 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Are those green houses Kings Island's? Do they use them? Quote
Shman Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Yes the greenhouses are owned by the park, and the landscaping department uses them to grow their own flowers for the park. I'm not sure I would say that those crates are necessarliy for Kings Island....I think they are on the "other side" of the property fence and more in the area that is Great Wolf now. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I believe that the road on the left in the picture in question is where KI/Great Wolf`s property meet each other. Just because there is a fence between the crates and the greenhouses, does not necessarily mean that that area of land is not KI`s. Quote
Whatever6750 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Where there sitting used to be part of the camp ground. The smaller (older?) bit. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Even if said land DOES belong to Great Wolf Lodge, which it may or may not, it is conceivable the park and Great Wolf Lodge have some sort of arrangement to allow the crates to be in residence momentarily. Terpy, who wouldn't want to interpret...too much Quote

Outdoor Man Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 it could be an old "new" ride packaged with love from Geauga Lake. Quote
