coaster_junky Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 thank you jackson: i boxed around the rise at the bbw location and where to the right of the "mountain" there is the elevation change. edit: i added the computer animation, which is looking from around the same view as what jackson's image is showing.

Beast1979 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Yes, that particular area looks similar, but the box on the right just looks smaller because of the perspective and shadowing. You're still missing these areas: IMO, the BBW location is LESS likely then SoB's. Quote
coaster_junky Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 your far right box could easily be where the "town" scene is on bbw, and as for the middle box, all it would take would be a little bit of dirt moving to have that area more flattened at the base of the valley. even though it's not as clear as in the animation, if you look back at the first screen shot you posted of the bbw area, you can see a slight jut in the side of the hill on the south side of the lift. i still feel that the computer graphic looks more like this area than Son of Beast's.

Beast1979 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 The problem with the BBW area is as you go further to the right, the valley gets higher and higher. In the animation, if anything it gets lower. And if you're going to assume that they intend to alter the terrain with the BBW area, why can't they do the same with the SoB area? I'm seeing a general similarity, but when you get down to it, it just doesn't seem to match for me. Maverick 2007, where did you find that Topo map? If you can, can you get a topo map of Busch Gardens Europe? Quote
coaster_junky Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 a good amount of coasters end up setting on land that's topo. doesn't look like what it did when it's project started. look at Diamondback for example, or even Firehawk. anyway, the land to start out with looks much closer, imo, to the computer animation at the big bad wolf site, but i have been wrong many, many times before and with saying that, i'm not going to rule out what your ideas are, especially since nothing has been released other than the computer model. as for the myth busted comment earlier, that was me trying to be humorous, but i guess it didn't work, but i still believe that the bbw site is a closer match than Son of Beast's *i've also noticed that terpy hasn't been commenting anymore in this thread, i think that one of the two of us is on the right track.

pat Posted February 14, 2010 Author Posted February 14, 2010 I would have to agree with coaster junky the BBW site looks closer than anything that I can find but the Son of Beast can not be ruled out until there is better evidence Quote

A) I still don't see how the Big Bad Wolf ravine looks more similar then the Son of Beast area. From what I've seen there are certain spots that look the same but other places don't match at all. The ravine is higher to the right, there's no dramatic elevation change to the right, there isn't a flat area at the bottom, and there isn't a little cranny to the right of the lift hill. Son of Beast's Area has most of that, if not all. It's smart that you aren't ruling anything out yet. This is a very young design and rumor, and neither of these parks have even opened yet. If little pink flags start to show up at either park, then I guess we'll have an answer! And are you just defending the BBW area because you don't want to see SoB go? C) Terpy posts as he pleases, and there are certain topics (Son of Beast for one, I might add) he shall not discuss on these boards. He'll say anything he has to to sturr up attention though, so I wouldn't go by him! D) Do we have anyone who's tried to match the terrain with the Topo map maverick2007 posted? Quote
coaster_junky Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 And are you just defending the BBW area because you don't want to see SoB go? actually no, i'm not defending the bbw area because i don't want Son of Beast gone, i'm defending it because to me, and also others, the area bbw sets on looks closer to the land depicted in the computer animation.

Coney Islander Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Look at where the chain lift is. If the station is where it appears to be, the walk to the ride would be further than Flight Deck's! That being said, I believe it looks more fitting to big bad wolf's terrain. Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Sure does look like familiar terrain.... Since someone thinks I am not commenting, I'll just say it again. It sure does look like familiar terrain.... Quote
Beast1979 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 You haven't ridden a GCI! They almost ALWAYS have a hundred plus feet of track from the station to the lift, I think there's only one or two rides they go right into the chain. Assuming where the station is going to be is not gonna work. Quote
pat Posted February 14, 2010 Author Posted February 14, 2010 I’m starting to doubt that this ride is supposed to be for Kings Island. Quote

The Interpreter Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Believe it or not, I do leave the computer from time to time, sometimes for work, sometimes for real life... Quote

Assuming where the station is going to be is not gonna work. Yes, I have never ridden a GCI. Though, I do love it when coasters have quite a bit of track before the fist chain lift. Honestly, the first time I saw the land, I thought Flight Deck, and could see Cedar Fair removing both Flight Deck and Son of Beast, maybe for future expansion of the Action Zone midway... Anyone think it could be Flight Deck's and Son of Beast's? Post edited- February 14, 2010 5:33 Quote
Beast1979 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Oh god...I'm looking at that latest concept, and you know what? I'm gonna go take a break and some Advil then organize my thoughts....this could still very well be headed for Kings Island, but this is going into information overload! Quote
coaster_junky Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 i'm sorry, but i still don't see where any of those parts of the topo. are at Kings Island, could you please point out, in pictures, where they are? Quote

coaster_junky Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 i'm most certain i'm not the only thing keeping him from posting. Quote
IslandAddict Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 In mah view, as good as this thread was at the first half of it, that's how as bad it is now. Throw in my vote for Kings Island. Quote
HTCO Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Jackson, I have a strange hunch this is not for KI. So for the sake of your sanity. Please do not get your hopes up. If this turns out not to be true, you will be crushed. Trust me. Quote
Beast1979 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I know that it's probably not for Kings Island, I'm just trying every angle to see if it is. The terrain doesn't match SoB's very well at all. I'm not going to be crushed, I hope whatever park gets this ride enjoys it! Quote
CedarPointer Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 The terrain doesn't match very well. Quote
HTCO Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Remember though. Terrain can be altered. Example, Diamondback... Quote
KIfan1980 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Sure does look like familiar terrain.... Since someone thinks I am not commenting, I'll just say it again. It sure does look like familiar terrain.... Just to check my assumption, isn't most amusement park terrain likely familiar to Terpy? Quote
thekidd33 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I also thought that Terpy probably wouldn't repeat how familiar the terrain is without having a reason for it. Doesn't necessarily mean that it's KI's terrain he is referring too but this is afterall a KI faniste... Though that being said, from the pics posted, it does seem to resemble the BBW site more to me. I hope I am wrong though! Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Sure does look like familiar terrain.... Since someone thinks I am not commenting, I'll just say it again.
