thedevariouseffect Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Did my above post not prove a point. If we were getting say an intamin giga. Look at how their footers are arranged and assembeled (take Millie as an example) everything for the footers are under the track and follow it closely. Also they use smaller round footers for most track with the exception of the lift hill which are very large cylinders grouped closely together. Take a B&M like Gatekeeper, or hell even Diamondback. Their footers are very large square and usually trapezoid topped footers. Plus they aren't always mirroring the track. Honestly if you removed supports and track from Gatekeeper and didn't know what the ride looked like from that perspective, you would think the lift hill is where the transfer table or brake run is. If you had several concrete footers quite small and grouped together, I honestly would say a woodie. Like back in the day if I saw footers being built and had a triange on them and they lined up, you knew the DOT & you knew immediately it was an arrow coaster coming in because they were the only ones to do that to their footers. But like I asked earlier. Good pictures close up if someone could zoom in on them actually can provide more clues than you think. Details mean everything, this is just a giant puzzle right now. The more pieces you can put together the better.
thekidd33 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Some of the pieces are there...just not everyone has put them together yet.
Hank Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Have you driven a Ford....lately? If the answer is "no" could it be because the Ford 300 hasnt been out since the early 60's? Or because the Maverick ceased in the 70's? The Zephyr? Ford made a 500. The previsouly discussed Mustang? The Focus of this Probe has really made me an Explorer. Maybe King's Island could have a special queue for people on a budget - called the Econo line? 11
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 My prediction: Another possible teaser/clue coming Memorial Day weekend. 1

Maybe King's Island could have a special queue for people on a budget - called the Econo line? Change a certain front of the line wristband to the Fair Lane? Go to Hanks for a Fiesta, followed by an afternoon siesta? We may need to have an Escort off the premises. 4
Snowman Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 ^ http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/23493-something-big-announced-3-18-11/?hl=something%20big I found it! Now it is there for all to see... Nailed it! It was post 3, not 4. Anyone not around then, I recommend scanning those 49 pages for poops and giggles. Keep in mind post 3, the wild speculation, the ones who "knew what was coming" and the results. 2

I bet if they did, you could have explosions in the rear! 5
thedevariouseffect Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 This is about the greatest thread in the Galaxie 3
cholderfield Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 What else could this be other than a roller coaster? I'm not trying to start a diversion, but we may be driving toward the wrong conclusion. Or not. 2
thedevariouseffect Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Honestly things line up for a coaster atm at least from my perspective of what I see and what I know. I'll either be at the park later today after 1700 when I get off base for the weekend or there tomorrow before driving up to Cedar Point for the weekend. I wanna get a good glimpse of what's there so far if I can.
Bennett Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Perhaps, with this new project, the designer can Aspire to follow the Contour of the land, and create a ride with the proper Tempo. 4

Maybe King's Island could have a special queue for people on a budget - called the Econo line? Thanks for that one, Hank. That is hilarious! But it would be a Popular idea for those who maybe can't afFORD it. I think the Ford reference might be referring to how Fords are notorius for leaking oil. Therefore, we're getting an Intamin. 1
TTD-120-420 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Someone should look up Leviathan's documents and see how much its foundation cost. I would look it up myself, but I don't know what to search for or even if Canada puts that stuff up on the internet.
HTCO Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 We just need a fast paced, relentless, steel coaster. That also pacts a punch. Enough with the airtime machines. 6

Tuskin Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 We just need a fast paced, relentless, steel coaster. That also pacts a punch. Enough with the airtime machines. So you want a steel version of The Beast? 5

DBInternational Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Does that second lift hill even count? its so anticlimactic. We just need a fast paced, relentless, steel coaster. That also pacts a punch. Enough with the airtime machines. So you want a steel version of The Beast? I woulnd't mind this thing having two lift hills like Adventure Express. I'm not sure the second hill on AE counts. It's too anticlimactic. EDIT: dumb mobile app didn't post my comment
robintodd Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I don't post here alot but I thought I'd add my 2 cents. B&M Giga Announcement July 4th weekend. Dippin Dots guy at CP told me...... 2

Adventuro Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Does anyone have a picture from today, or yesterday? I really am looking forward to things picking up. 1
tjpavlik Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I have some aerial pics from today but no photobucket. Message me and ill email and you can post.
LordSkippy Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 My daily two cents: In my opinion, I don't have nearly enough information to make any kind of logical assumption about what the ride will be, but my gut tells me it won't be a B&M Giga. 2
Guest Department47 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 I have some aerial pics from today but no photobucket. Message me and ill email and you can post. You don't need Photobucket. You can upload them with one of many other similar websites - imageshack.us, tinypic.com, or, my personal favorite, imgur.com. 4
tjpavlik Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks to all, Jayblazzer said he will post. Thanks DontWantToWait42mar0, when I get your email Ill send them to you, too. While I covered more of the area, nothing is clear other than its going to be big!
