Zayzayd13 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Here are my thoughts. (Yes, I know SOB station will still be used for Haunt but it's a good starting point for my imaginary coaster!) Does anyone else notice that this photo is really old, like from early may, more footers have been placed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Uhhh, we have found out many rides before we were supposed to. Seems to happen every year. What Terp said! They know when it leaks. They control when it leaks! This is a multi-million dollar business. Nothing is a "oops!" Really? Mr. Ouimet didn't seem too happy when we talked to him the day the Sandusky Register leaked Gatekeeper. I'm also pretty sure they were not wanting WindSeeker to be leaked by the ride manufacturer they should have went with. I could keep going all the way back to Maverick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcgoble3 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yesterday at Coasting for Kids, Don asked us for suggestions for next year's event. Somebody suggested that the new ride should be included in the event, to which Don responded by saying that it would be rather difficult to marathon a campground. Case closed. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondson Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Well, I can't tell you how stoked I am about this. I mean, a campground built on those footers? How AWESOME will that be! I'm going to be dreaming of tents and bonfires tonight, baby! Next year at KI is going to be the best year EVER! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskin Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I really hope those footers come with some sort of padding, that will not feel good on the tush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselwilkey Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Don took care of the issue that you could be questioned on, rather quickly. Welcome aboard the crazy train! Hahah thanks! I just find it such an eye sore to leave the station there floating in the air especially if that area is getting revamped. Can we get more to decode please Don?! This is a bit fun!!!

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Those footers will just be holding up potted plants to make the campground look nice. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ^ I find it very interesting that concrete footers with bolts sticking out with nuts on the end would be used for potted plants. When and where in the park was that taken? I haven't seen that myself and would be interesting in looking for it on Saturday if it's still there.

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 ^ That was when they were building Diamondback. They probably don't have plants on them now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well -- the speculation is that the new ride has a haunted type theme. The station can be used this year as a Haunt attraction like has it been the last couple years ... then in 2014 it is still used as a Haunt attraction but as the station for a roller coaster with a haunted type theme. Don's statement then holds up. He never said it would be the same attraction in 2013 and 2014. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again...SOB's station will not be used for the 2014 attraction. One more time...SOB's station will NOT BE USED for the 2014 attraction. That is all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I`m surprised no one has mentioned it yet... I too have a feel for the layout. The only thing I can think of is a Wild Mouse coaster (like Coast Rider or The Fly, but not the exact same layout) since the footers at the top of the picture (near the shed, which behind that is Flight Deck's turn/SoB's station) are so close together. However. this does not explain the triangular footers by Slingshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be my first post ever on here so hopefully I don't get attacked! With that said, I have a feeling that the old SOB station might be used. The former SOB station will be used for a Haunt attraction this year and beyond. And just to think, how much fun Don is having reading our predictions that are all probably absolutely wrong.....I'm guessing he knows the layout and a blueprint could be sitting in his hands right now...Comparing it to our layout predictions....At this point he probably even called in Greg Schied to laugh with him...... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 If the attraction used trains made to look like Winnebagos...... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhit2004 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 People are going to be really upset if it really is just a campground and the footers are for the separate park entrance for campground guests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AintNutinElse2Do Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 If the attraction used trains made to look like Winnebagos...... I'd prefer the trains resemble an Airstream. Hmm Airstream would be a cool name for an Invert and a great sponsorship to tie in reopening a campground. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Meyer Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 What if this is a ride like Fahrenheit at Hershey Park? That has a straight up lift hill and doesn't take up much space. Layout in all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieselwilkey Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 People are going to be really upset if it really is just a campground and the footers are for the separate park entrance for campground guests. I was kinda thinking the same thing. I remember someone mentioning on here that the Facebook page thinks the triangle footers are for where slingshot could be moved to. That would open up that area more but that would be useless. Who says that triangle footers are only used by B&M...? Maybe well get another entrance, a B&M. And the campgrounds in 2014!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondson Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Is this the right layout Don?... Hmmm....interesting layout. After the first drop, you just go back into the woods and presumably that's where the track ends. The trains just go flying off the end, and - well....I'm sure the park will be going through a LOT of trains. OR.... It's the "Neverending Coaster". The track doesn't reconnect to the station, so once you board you don't come back. You just keep going and going and going and....wait, where's the bunny? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
