Diamondback FOF Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 remember when it used to be fun to speculate about what fun new ride was coming to a park... without getting "proof attacked"...??? *sings* "those were the days...." We're not "proof-attacking" anyone. He just keeps insisting that the KD coaster is a giga and is not considering anything else. Ha says everything points to a gigacoaster and we're wanting to know what this "everything" is. Quote
yournamehere Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 read the kdfansite forums if you want to see where hes getting at if not than just let it go Quote
HTCO Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks for the link's guyes. That is a lot of land being cleared! Looks like this is gonna be a big one! Quote

Terpy, in reruns or summer stock Call me stupid, but I never really got that. Honestly... me too. Someone want to clarify exactly what Terpy means? Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Think about it this way...where there's supports, cranes are sure to follow... And then think of the song: Send in the clowns, There ought to be clowns... It even gets better! The first verse, honest: Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground, You in mid-air. Send in the clowns. And the last? Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer, Losing my timing this late In my career? And where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns. Well, maybe next year. Terpy, cross threader...now where's The Big Red Crane? (Lastly: Don't you love farce? My fault I fear....) Quote
Erosarrow05 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 you know... if you really do like send in the clowns I highly suggest you go to you tube and search for "Santa Clara Vanguard Send in the Clowns" however prior to listening, you must turn your speakers up to the setting marked "max" and then take 2 steps away from the computer eh... heres a link - there are a 'few' recordings of it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5rwz_Ga_gI Quote
Oldiesmann Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Further clarification on the Terpy joke... The line "See the tree how big it's grown" is from the song "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro. If you've never heard it, you aren't missing anything... Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 read the kdfansite forums if you want to see where hes getting at if not than just let it go I have been reading it some. Maybe I just need to read it more because I just don't understand why he keeps insisting it's a gigacoaster. Hey, I hope it is, although I must say I'd be a little jealous if it turns out great, which I hope it does. Quote
raptorcp21 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 They're loading supports back to trucks and its not going to be their coaster maybe for Cedar Point or Carowinds.... Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 They're loading supports back to trucks and its not going to be their coaster maybe for Cedar Point or Carowinds.... Uh huh...sure...because everyone knows the most economical way of getting coaster supports delivered is to send them somewhere else, unload them for a while, store them, pack them back up and send them again. No way. None whatsoever... Nice try, though. No, not even that. Silly, actually. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Terpy, do YOU think there is a chance that the supports got delivered to KD instead of Carowinds on accident? And now they're sending them to Carowinds? That is what some people on the KD Fansite think could've happened, so I would like your opinion, please . Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 About an equal chance to CBS selling Paramount Parks and Cedar Fair thinking they'd get Disneyland as part of the deal. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I might half to make the Kings Domion, busch gardens round next year Quote
Beast79 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 They would not bother with unloading them, I'm sure the have a receiving area manager who excepts deliveries. If a mistake like that happened the driver would be told he made a mistake and send him on his way to Carowinds. When I worked at GWL we would get truckers trying to deliver ki stuff to us and we would have to give them correct directions. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 About an equal chance to CBS selling Paramount Parks and Cedar Fair thinking they'd get Disneyland as part of the deal. Ok, that's what I thought. Well, not like that, but the general idea. Quote
Beast1979 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I can't blame them! All these parks are so hard to remember, there wasn't and Island in Cincinnati, a Berry Farm in California, or a King in Doswell! Because, it's easy to mistake a Kingly park in Virginia with a Windy park in Carolina! Please. That wasn't even a nice try. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Apparently these "MIA" supports still haven't been seen anywhere. It is some very interesting reading material over at the KD Fanstie. I've even decided to par-take in the fun a little . It's been entertaining to say the least . Quote
yournamehere Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I don’t think they delivered them to the wrong park. I think they were damaged in the recent storms(which were really bad) and they had to ship them back to Intamin for fixing. Or they could be moving them back behind tidal wave bay because there is a stack of wood back there identical to the kind the supports were sitting on in the parking lot Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I think one of those makes the most sense. If the supports got damaged in the storms, that really su**s because that is a lot of waster money, time, and resources. Also, it could put the entire project behind schedule. Hopefully they were just moving the supports. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 How do supports get damaged by a storm? After all, barring a tornado or severe storm, those same supports would have stood during similar weather during their installed life. Put another way, storm damage? I doubt it. I very much doubt it. Ever hear of staging? Quote

Diamondback FOF Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I didn't say that's what happened, I just said it makes more sense than the supports being delivered to the wrong park. I was wondering how a storm would damage supports. Anyways, what do you think about Mr. Kinzel and the other CP reps being at KD yesterday? Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I think that if he was there, he has every right to be. Perhaps he was investigating Coke pricing and in park per cap sales. One can hope. He was at Kings Island earlier this season. Does that mean KI is getting a new coaster? In a word, no. Quote
IBEW_Sparky Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 You must be asking for it. Yes Hahah, nice Sean! Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Sometimes it pays to let others have the fun. Then, after a long drought, you get your turn! Terpy, who knows his friends will know what that means...the drought, I hope, is about over...if that be the case, happy, happy Terpy, you see--and so does he! Quote
IBEW_Sparky Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Oh I definitely hope that drought is over very soon as well! Sparky, who sees. Quote
KDCOASTERFAN Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I don’t think they delivered them to the wrong park. I think they were damaged in the recent storms(which were really bad) and they had to ship them back to Intamin for fixing. Or they could be moving them back behind tidal wave bay because there is a stack of wood back there identical to the kind the supports were sitting on in the parking lot How can steel supports be damaged simply by being left flat on the ground during a thunderstorm when these supports will have to weather many such storms once they're finally put into place during construction? I don't believe that the park is trying to hide the coaster parts from public view either since they'd been sitting there for over a week before suddenly being removed.....that coupled with all the site work going on.I'm sure that in that one week's worth of time & the thousands of guests that have been through the lot,and on the ET that most of them would've figured out that something is up at the park. Now it is possible that KD & CF may have cancelled plans to install this ride at the park & may ship it off to one of the other parks in the chain....another possibility is that intamin could've mistakenly sent the wrong coaster type to the park,let's not forget that they have alot of other customers worldwide whom they do business with & it's possible that the coaster type that the park ordered was not the one they recieved parts for.
