"as this horse is finally let out of the barn." ????

Got me even more excited for my trip down to the Island on Wednesday. I don't care if I ride anything, the announcement will be worth it alone in my eyes.

Helbig the Horse

Its going to be a good day tomorrow, a very good day

are u going to the park Railrider? If anyone wants a riding partner that day, I am going down to the Island, anyone want to meet up?

Myself and the rest of the KIC team will be there, if you see us say hi. Just say hi to one of the random people wearing polo shirts with big cameras, you'll eventually find one of us.

^ When will their be video/pictures up on the site? Unfortunatly I am in Sandusky and will miss the unveling tomorrow.

The announcement is at 2:00 P.M. KIC will be one of the first to bring you an update within hours following the event.

^ YES! Awesome. Thank you so much!

This is unrelated, but I will laugh hard if this new coaster ends up being called Maverick like the one at CP.

In any case, I'm gonna wait patiently for the unveiling.....

Unfortunately not. Im stuck in the office today, not even my own office, but Im still stuck at work. Will be lurking here for all of my updates.

I think someone at the press event should contact someone that isn't going to tell us all about it.

Or you could just look on the park's website, I am sure they will release information on there just after the announcement.

Believe me, the KIC staff will be at the official announcement today, and will update this site as soon as possible with all the details on this new ride. Unfortunately, I will be the only KIC staff member not in attendance today, as I am at my co-op job until 5pm! But I plan on heading up to the park after I get off, to ride a couple rides.

I'm at my co-op, and plan on coming up to the park in September for a couple rides. Dang Wisconsin...

Oh, but I have Hades, which makes up for it.

Yeah, Hades looks pretty amazing. How would you rate it compared to the Voyage and The Beast and *insert other wooden coasters you've been on here*?

How is life in Wisconsin? More importantly, how is Hades?
