Dieselwilkey Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 This topic always trails off..... Can we get back to 'realistically' decoding please!
TheCrypt Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 We haven't "realistically decoded" since page one. 12
jcgoble3 Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Because we don't have enough information yet to have even the slightest hope of cracking the code. So all we can do is speculate until we get more clues. 1
BeastForever Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Here's this for decoding... I think that if Project 2014 turns out to be a giga coaster and it is built by B&M, there's a good chance it won't be nearly as good as Millenium Force or i305. Why? Because in the 2012 GTA's, Leviathan was ranked 22nd, while the Intamin gigas were ranked 1st and 12th. Even Leviathan's "little brother" was ranked higher than him.
The Interpreter Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 This topic always trails off..... Can we get back to 'realistically' decoding please! And how exactly do you know the posters aren't doing exactly that? Curious Terpy, who likes to ask questions. 2
BeastForever Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 The Golden Ticket Awards hold no value. Ok, I can also refer to Mitch Hawker's Steel poll and Coaster Grotto to back me up.
Browntggrr Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 If the attraction used trains made to look like Winnebagos...... KI is getting a flyer???? 16

Jayblazer Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Well I saw some more bull dozers had been moved to the site. They were parked at the very bottom of the hill. And that's about it. I suspect there for moving around dirt. Not sure how much there is right now to decode. Really it seems to me that these footers are going in very very slow. In fact I'm under the impression that the only reason work is being done is to generate buzz.
secondson Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 This topic always trails off..... Can we get back to 'realistically' decoding please! Okkkkkkk.....you just joined yesterday, and now after only 5 posts you're already being a little assertive. Calm down and go with the flow. 6

Can we get some Hot or Cold hints from Don please....
Rustbucket Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I prefer Intimidator 305 and Leviathan over MF. To me, MF really does not do much for me. I prefer to ride Magnum over MF any day even. Then again, Bizarro at SFNE provides far superior ride than any of them. 3
Jayblazer Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I don't care for Magnum at all those last few bunny hops are torture. But Bizzaro looks amazing. I am going to have to get up there.. 1
tjpavlik Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Lots of pre-formed rebar laying around behind Slingshot. Sorry for the picture, hopefully I can get some aerials later this month. 5
DiamondBackGirl Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 this is only my 2nd post i think. but i got a laugh while at the park yesterday...heard someone in front of me in line telling his buddy that he heard Cedar Point was taking out one of their coasters and we were going to get it. i had to laugh to myself 2

Can we get some Hot or Cold hints from Don please.... It's okay, I understand. We're all anxious, but I'm not sure there's a lot of decoding we can do until more footers are placed. So until then, we all just talk about different things until some new tidbit of information is introduced into the discussion. It won't be long until we know what's going on. 2
Big Sexy Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Intamin giga and hypers are far superior to b&m. Intamin always pushes the envelope while b&m is more about a cautious reliable ride. 2

(I think)
stashua123 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I have a friend who thinks Gatekeeper is coming in there. Nuff said.... 2

TheCrypt Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Intamin always pushes the envelope while b&m is more about a cautious reliable ride. And this is a bad thing? The reason you don't see issues from Beemers that you see from Intamins is because B&M sticks with tried-and-true methods that still deliver. You don't need a 400 foot tall, 120 mph launching coaster to draw crowds. 2
Big Sexy Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 B&m coasters are a snooze fest. The older ones are better like BTR, raptor, formally iron wolf, nitro, montu, kumba, and apollo chariot. Yes you don't have to have tall rides, intamin jr & mega coasters are outstanding. 2

LordSkippy Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I don't think anyone can say any large roller coaster is a "snooze fest" with a straight face. Slow moving boat rides are a snooze fest. 3
TheCrypt Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 How many B&M coasters have you actually been on, Big Sexy?
Jayblazer Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Have you rode a 120 mph 400 foot tall coaster? It's an amazing experience. 1
Paramount Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 A launch in the middle of a double helix... Give us those killer g's!! lol but serious... What about a good hyper or giga that goes through a lot of tunnels? Those tunnel could have a lot of creepy lighting and sound to provide the "evil" element and eliminate he need for a building.
TheCrypt Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Have you rode a 120 mph 400 foot tall coaster? It's an amazing experience.I have and I stand by my philosophy. Apparently other parks do too, because there are only two in existence. 2
