stashua123 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 they proably didnt build a b&m invert instead of a vekoma slc because paramounts just cheap like that example: Son of Beast i couldve been built by other companies than RCCA but they chose a manufactour that has had a bad rep.(rattler)
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 they proably didnt build a b&m invert instead of a vekoma slc because paramounts just cheap like that example: Son of Beast i couldve been built by other companies than RCCA but they chose a manufactour that has had a bad rep.(rattler) So there were other wooden coaster builders interested in building a looping wooden coaster? Really? And you might want to consider who built Top Gun: The Jet Coaster at Paramount's then flagship park. Or what manufacturer built a Batman style invert at Paramount's California park. Or what the Flights of Fear cost. Or Volcano. I could go on, but I'll stop now.
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I emailed Cedar Fair, They told me that for 2013 KI will be unveiling the first ever Wing Rider Dueling Ride. It will be the longest steel coasters and feature 8 inversions and 2 "Key Hole" elements. I have no reason to lie, so I'm not going to post the email. And if you don't like it, well then you can just wait till they tell everyone. 4
jcgoble3 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 ^ I smell the sarcasm (though I would love to actually see that happen, even though it won't, at least for 2013).
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Thus the requirement in the TOS, which certain earlier posters have chosen to ignore.
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 ^ I smell the sarcasm (though I would love to actually see that happen, even though it won't, at least for 2013). Oh I know, that would be OH SO VERY COOL! I was thinking of something like Dragon Challenge down yonder in Orlando!
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I have been informed by a well respected source that The Racer will be torn down and a new, state of the art merry go round and horse shoe pit will go in its place. I have no reason to why so why should I reveal my source? Maybe when users choose to ignore the TOS that said they must reveal any source of that they claim as fact, then they should be warned and any penalty be enforced. Regardless of who the official might be, they are not going to reveal confidential plans to a stranger that emails them asking, "hey, why are you taking so long in coming to a decision of SOB and what do you plan on doing with it?" Just like in the military, future plans are classified and any and all information is restricted until it is decided to release the future plans to the public in the form of a press release.
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Will the new merry go round have an organ? And if it does, will it end up in Sandusky? Terp, who likes to ask questions.
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 The merry go round will have actual horses and a live (vs dead) organ grinder. LOL
The Interpreter Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I have actually seen a merry go round with live ponies and an organ grinder. At The State Fair of West Virginia in Lewisburg. Where else? 1
TheCrypt Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Hey. I was seeing whether or not mccarthysnerd's claim was valid. Invalid or valid, nobody really seems to know. Guesses.
TheCrypt Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Well, according to KI-ORIG-EMP, any sort of diversion is completely unheard of, and not allowed whatsoever. I think it's odd that Don would release something to mccarthysnerd, yet not give the same answer to someone else.
Titan Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Hmmmm, either mccarthysnerd is telling us a juiced up version of the story or he has secret connections with KI management.....

I think it's odd that Don would release something to mccarthysnerd, yet not give the same answer to someone else. I am mccarthysnerd and me and Son of Beast do have something in common, something that does make it possible for me to be told things by certain people of certain power over Kings Island and Cedar Fair concerning Son of Beast. Thats all I'm going to say.
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 ....So...you're saying you are a wooden roller coaster? Da fuq....? 2
KingsIsland vs. Cedarpoint Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I emailed Cedar Fair, They told me that for 2013 KI will be unveiling the first ever Wing Rider Dueling Ride. It will be the longest steel coasters and feature 8 inversions and 2 "Key Hole" elements. I have no reason to lie, so I'm not going to post the email. And if you don't like it, well then you can just wait till they tell everyone. even though this is unlikely that would be amazing!!
TheCrypt Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 The only way I can think of where you can be told "certain things by certain people" is A) You are secretly Matthew Ouimet. B.) You are very high up in the Cedar Fair command chain. C) You work for someone like Rocky Mountain Construction or GCI and are doing a major overhaul soon. or D) You are a magic yookneekorn. (I vote for D)
bkroz Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I am mccarthysnerd and me and Son of Beast do have something in common, something that does make it possible for me to be told things by certain people of certain power over Kings Island and Cedar Fair concerning Son of Beast. Thats all I'm going to say. I love this. And to think that, on the park's Facebook page, this person is probably posting the same tripe and the kids are just eating it up! What a world.
Browntggrr Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I am mccarthysnerd and me and Son of Beast do have something in common Too bad only one of you is SBNO. 4
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 But really is it that you are made of wood? Or is it that both of you have been "fixed" **badum bum chinnggggggggg* Huh? Huh? Anybody? Anybody? No? wow...tough room... 1

That lost all credibility when you mentioned a Horse Shoe Pit, as Horse Shoes are a lost pleasure. It's all about that lame cornhole junk nowadays.
TheCrypt Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 ^That's really punny. I would like it, but I'm out of "positive likes" for the day. I dunno why we need positive in there, we don't have negative likes.
jdawg1998 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Hey, at least with all this "drama", we aren't just talking about the same things over and over again. It brings some life to this topic! 1
KIfan1980 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Mcarthy - we all would like to have access to inside information because it would be fun to know things ahead of others and the GP. Do you at least understand why those of us reading this thread would doubt you, however? We've all heard the official statements, some posters have/do work at the park and know how it works, and there are even a few posters here that have close ties to park and industry insiders. So what is the difference between you and them: - you make statements claiming to have an inside track but also referencing emailing Cedar Fair multiple times and getting a response finally (which is it) and are unwilling to - others have a history of sharing info when allowed but staying quiet at other times, only sharing options of what might be true Your credibility for future posts would be improved by coming clean and sharing further info to back up your claims.
Jr for Birdy Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Mcarthy has sent Cedar Fair numerous e-mails, yet he was told by certain people of certain power over Cedar Fair and Kings Island? UMMM,Your Honor i rest my case. 1
AintNutinElse2Do Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I am mccarthysnerd and me and Son of Beast do have something in common Too bad only one of you is SBNO. Really? Isn't this more than a little harsh and at least borderline cyber-bullying? I'm not saying that what Mccarthy said is true or not true but there's no need to attack in such a manner. 3
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 If these same people that claim they have inside information about a major roller coaster construction would to invest in Cedar Fair stock, some one would be guilty of insider trading. I am sure that the stock price would go up in value on news of a major ride being built. Also, people in high levels of management that are privy to confidential information such as this, will keep their mouth shut as they value their job. Very few people will know the details and if it was to be leaked, there is bound to be an investigation to determine who leaked the information. All communication on Cedar Fair computers are saved and an audit would be performed, and there is software in place to check for certain keywords.
