TombRaiderFTW Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 http://www.visitking...k/mud/index.cfm LOOK! NEW! Clue. This thread turns more and more into an episode of Blue's Clues with each post. I think we're getting a little ambitious here, guys. I'm personally going to be pretty surprised if it's much more than a world-class, world's tallest t-rex animatronic. At most, I'll say he's part of us getting that Action Theater movie. Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but if CF is adding a new section and all that for 2011, would they *really* just start hyping it up seven weeks before the park opens? Diamondback was announced in August of 2008, after all... On the other hand, one thought I had that doesn't seem to have appeared: what if 3/18 holds an announcement about an announcement for Son of Beast? I know it sounds ridiculous, but Six Flags Over Texas did just that a few weeks ago via Facebook for the New Texas Giant, different chain though it may be. There was a week-long countdown to the announcement of the ride's opening date. That idea could also be used for any big 2012 addition, too. (I'm just throwing the idea out there.)
Rollerzach Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 ^^New World Class? Or New World Classic? "New world classic" seems like odd wording. New World Classic As in a ride that will be considered a classic? Or a really good ride? I'm so confused... http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/mud/index.cfm Just watch the vid again. I assum he means it considered a classic.
LordSkippy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Thank you for clarifying that. I've scavenged the video countless times looking for clues already and come up empty handed...I guess I began ignoring sentence structures, grammar, word usage, and the like. Not that I pay any attention to that to begin with.

Welcome and its cool, I just want to know what this BIG! announcment is going to be.

thekidd33 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Any idea where we might find someone like that Terpy?
The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 It would need to be someone who does not act in the best interests of the park industry in this particular matter.... Good luck with that! Terp, known for diversions...and beastly GG coasters...in China! By the way, one of those pictures appears to be very crane-like....
PREMiERdrum Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 By the way, one of those pictures appears to be very crane-like.... Send in the cranes?
KIanatic1975 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Maybe the coaster, or whatever it is will be built on trailers, like the old castle at Great Adventure was, before, well it burnt down.
Hoeter Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Got an idea...it's starting to make sense to me now. The dinosaur skin on KI's page or whatever it is...there's an old saying that oil came from dinosaurs. And with gas prices on the rise...what better time to make a coaster based on it? I could see it now, Marathon could be a sponsor! Of course I'm stumped...I have no clue what it could be. Can't wait for Friday!
The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 THE DESIGN HAS CHANGED! Yes, posted more than an hour ago in this very thread: http://www.KICentral...ndpost&p=418946
son of beast214 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 it was a different "skin" than now now it is red http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/mud/index.cfm SOB has a row of red on the roof...
The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 It was red then.....that's why the post was made... http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23493&view=findpost&p=418931
KIfan73 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Looks like bars to a cage...that have been dented in...
son of beast214 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 well it hasn't been red for me in a long time until just now
The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Then you may need to empty your cache or hit refresh more often.... It's been red for nearly two hours now.
RingMaster Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Resembles more of a generic shipping container, like the ones you see on the "Backlot." Wonder how big one would need to be to contain a T-Rex, though...
The Interpreter Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Or an old dinosaur that's been running a company for many, many years? Terp, who just HAD to...sorry for the Q
Oldschool75 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I would say the red shipping container that is located where the fireworks are shot off from. Check out google maps
Ogrmac Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I would say the red shipping container that is located where the fireworks are shot off from. Check out google maps Or the one that is currently sitting in the parking lot.

I feel like that would have to one HUGE t-rex!! Wouldn't Universal or something have made an extremely large one at some point? Maybe not but I just feel like they would have...
HTCO Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 There is a red shipping container like that near the north parking lot entrance. Saw it today. If I drive by tomorrow I will get a picture to show.
Burgtoad67 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Not to add to it too much, just providing a picture. I think the red shipping container in the parking lot is a definite possibility, just showing that the roof on SoB does in fact have red sections. Also, the red in the banner seems to be a bit faded, as the SoB roof is

That's because they did, http://0.tqn.com/d/t...jurassicUSH.JPG . For the record Disney also created one for the final scene of Animal Kingdom's Dark Ride, "Dinosaur." Only problem is that as to my knowledge, Universal's animatronic is only half of a T-rex. If I am correct I am not so certain it would be counted in the record books.
