welchce Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Clearly by the link on the KI website it's going to be Tremors: The Ride. Tremors? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Ahhhhh...one of the finest wooden coasters ever built...nah, it won't be Tremors..especially after Paramount Parks had to threaten litigation to get Timber Terror named what it now is...not Grizzly. Quote
DropZone99 Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 So if it was INTAMIN, it'd have OTSR's? Really? See Millennium Force... Not if you were an older Intamin, than you would have lap bars. The newer Intamin's have OTSR's. Quote
tdsteele Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Do believe the "Mustang" name rumor can be forgotten about. Wonder if thats the same box SOB was locked up in? lol Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I certainly hope not. I thought Barbara Colnar had escaped! Quote

The Interpreter Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Yes, really, in the USA, if they have inversions....as for USA non-rocket coasters without inversions, that remains to be seen... Quote

The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Not really...not in the USA...you were pretty much right... Quote
flightoffear4thtrain Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I think that the park should set up more of a display with a big countdown clock at the Construction Site where the Signs are now. That will really get people interested for next year even if they don't know about the B&M. 100th Post! Quote

flightoffear4thtrain Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 They could also use it for a countdown until the rides opening. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 What? You don't think it will open with the park next season? Terpy, snickering... Quote
DropZone99 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 What? You don't think it will open with the park next season? Terpy, snickering... I think it'll open Memorial Day Weekend, i want it to open along with the park though. Quote
flightoffear4thtrain Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Realistically, I don't think that that is going to happen. But who knows? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 It's a construction project. Planned dates sometimes slip. So, who knows? No one. Who can, with absolute certainty, predict the weather, unforeseen circumstances, etc.? Quote
Thane Of Price Hill Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Alrighty kids! Here's 18 pictures from today around the construction sites: http://picasaweb.google.com/kwelch/20080722 I'm very sorry about the poor quality. I wish the iPhone had a zoom. I also wish I had my regular Canon 40D with me. You've seen the track and the concrete enough so here are two other gems: A crane already backstage at the park. A truck on I-71 that might be carrying some of the supports. After leaving KI today, I got stuck in traffic on I-71 South around the Mason-Montgomery/Fields Ertel area. I saw two or maybe three flatbed trucks headed north on the highway with what were no doubt support pieces for the new coaster. Alas, I was unable to get my iPhone out to snap a picture of the trucks. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 And now there's a crane, Yes, that's a crane... Soon it'll be next year! Thank you for your.....support. Quote
I_heart_pki Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Those look like they could be the supports! It goes with the color of the track!! Quote
Thane Of Price Hill Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Those look like they could be the supports! It goes with the color of the track!! One of the flatbeds I saw going north on I-71 had a very large support piece. It looked like it might have been near the width of a cell phone tower. It's color matched that of the steel on the truck I posted. One of the other flatbeds contained more pieces like what is on the left side of this picture: Quote
tubaman Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Looks like Maverick. Maybe they'll call it Goose? Quote
Phantom Theater Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Looks like Maverick. I was about to say the same thing! Quote
TH13TEEN Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Looks like Maverick. Right you are I love the colors. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I bet you'd say that if it were hot pink and lime green, though! Quote
DropZone99 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I bet you'd say that if it were hot pink and lime green, though! I know i would! Quote
welchce Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 I bet you'd say that if it were hot pink and lime green, though! Whats wrong with hot pink and lime green? 800 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 It'd look a wee bit loud back by The Beast, doncha think? Quote
welchce Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 It'd look a wee bit loud back by The Beast, doncha think? It shouldn't be too bad since B&Ms are known for bring smooth and quiet Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 ...especially if the rails are filled with sand, like Talon or Alpengeist! Terpy, dodgin' Quote
