secondson Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Nice video of the construction site from the ground. No offense, but I don't see much of anything in this video which pertains to the construction site, other than the signs on the fence. That's why I said, from the ground, BB1 who didn't say he was going to take you "behind the scenes in this whimsical video that this guy took of the new ride that we all must call Banshee!" no I said it was just a ground video of the fence and the old SOB area. Now please, if you have an issue with that, keep calm, and carry on. I'm perfectly calm. You're the one getting upset because I made a comment about your video. You specifically wrote "Nice video of the construction site from the ground." Look at your post again. You did NOT say anything at all about taking a video of the old SOB area. IF you had said that, I would have avoided making a comment. But you led us to believe this was ground video of the actual construction site....which it's not, other than the fence. That, my friend is (d)inf(v)erred BB1 who will be here for a long time, and tries to show a good video here and there, possibly a good joke as well. In all honesty, a construction site was visible when at the Flight Deck I believe, and a vehical was shown at the beginning, with that being said, there is more, like oh, a fence. Which in all honesty is a part of the site. I do not wish to bicker and fight, I just wish to post in an emerging topic a few insightful posts that will carry on the topic, with a few giggles, no wails here. BB1, who likes riddles and jokes I'm not bickering with you either, friend. I'm just being nit-picky. Ever watch the Brady Bunch episode in which Greg was held to his exact words...? They can be pretty hard to live by. Anyway, it's all good. No harm, no foul. For all we know KI could get the first ever coaster announced AFTER it opens. Or no announcement at all...? Maybe it will be obvious long before the end of the summer...except for the name, I suppose.
kblanken Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Other than the angle not being constant for the duration of the turn, it only goes about 3/4 of a rotation.
thedevariouseffect Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Also the helix right before the brakes on Vortex... Spinning is spinning IMO..helixes aren't a coaster credit...like Gatekeepers, biggest wing coaster loop, or longest wing coaster, etc. That's nonsense stuff...longest Woodie, longest steel, tallest not this picky ****.
BB1 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 in all honesty, I am actually facepalming to a few posts on here at this very moment. BB1 who remembers being called out on a "foul", but wasn't in one. What a diversion!
Diamondback FOF Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 http://s872.photobucket.com/user/AlexRB1994/library/2014%20Coaster%20Construction-%20June%2014?sort=3&page=1#/user/AlexRB1994/library/2014%20Coaster%20Construction-%20June%2014?sort=3&page=1&_suid=137143534837507954734489758255 Took these on Friday while at the park for a short time oh, and feel free to inbed any of the images in here if y'all would like 11
Cdeq Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Well with Diamondback the news got hold of a bolt, the blueprints, and even the type of coaster. They figure thus out by July ,
Great American Coasters Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 What I find strange is that The Racer has been showing up alot on the KI Facebook page. The Racer is an older coaster, so I think its weird that its been showing alot. I've been hearing the sports related theme for the ride. Would The Racer have anything to do with this new ride? Could there be hints in a few of the KI Facebook posts? Could this new 2014 ride be a dueling coaster or some sort of high speed launch coaster themed as something like a race car or other sport? I have a few ideas, like the theme is an old sports field not in operation anymore and some creature similar to The Beast might be living there. Could be a none horror theme like TTD at Cedar Point. I did see a post on the KI Twitter page where someone said,"I would like to see something like TTD", and KI reponded, " TTD is an amazing ride". Could it be like the new Full Throttle coaster at SFMM? If it's another theme like The Beast, it should have lots of G-force and get really close to walkways like Full Throttle at SFMM. As you can tell I really would like to see a new Premier LSM launch coaster. Wait, could the theme be Intimidator 305?

I think I sort of see the ride layout a little now. 1
ahank Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Are you telling us Diamondback wasnt well thought out? In terms of where it was placed, yes. Diamondback ruined one of the most beautiful areas of the park with the removal of Swan Lake. Is it a fun ride? There's no question, it's one of the most fun in the park, but it along with other factors (I'm looking at you, big white box) was very detrimental to the feel of the Rivertown area. 7
Zayzayd13 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Thats a lot of progress that has been made! One thing i keep telling myself is that the supports arent as close together. The distance apart from them has enough room for a track piece. The layout however, I still dont quite see. The only layout Im seeing is the station being behind Delirium and the supposed lift heading towards Adventure Express
DBInternational Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I will ask a question yet to be asked (that I'm aware of) Will KI remove the service road that went through this area? And if not that, then will the old KC footers be removed? 1
Creed Bratton Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I don't know. Service roads are always changed and moved if necessary. If it doesn't need moved, it'll stay. 1
Zayzayd13 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I will ask a question yet to be asked (that I'm aware of) Will KI remove the service road that went through this area? And if not that, then will the old KC footers be removed? and finally get rid of the KC footers
tjpavlik Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I don't know for sure but if I was doing the job I would clear everything that needed to be removed prior to starting construction or pouring footers. If I am imagining this correctly the KC footers will be under the lift hill. 1
jcgoble3 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Or maybe the track will shoot between the KC footers, creating a "near miss" element. Anything is possible at this point. 6
homestar92 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 It would be pretty lame to use part of a ride that hasn't operated in years as a "near-miss" element. Oh wait... 11
TTD-120-420 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 If KC's footings were going to be removed, wouldn't they have removed them when they had the equipment to do so, when they removed SOB's footings? 8

Monroe Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks Don, now I have to go to the store, I'm almost out of popcorn nachos and trail mix. Maybe I will add some hot sauce to the trail mix this time. 6

Creed Bratton Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 That isn't track support. Looks like cables or metal rods. 3
Monroe Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 All these pictures and speculation reminds me of crop circles, (and we all know that they are real) any ways, here is a picture that came to mind, it is a link because of the phallic nature of it. http://weknowmemes.com/2013/05/what-aliens-do-on-earth-vs-what-humans-do-on-mars/ 1
gingerkid Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Mt apologies, just got on my computer, mobile does not do justice. It looked like a track support on my SmartPhone. Sorry. Now I'm Sad 2
