Now there are 2 triangular footers. The footers are facing each other as if going to be supporting a slingshot.

We all look forward to these amazing new attractions coming 2014. Wow that may have the most stupid I have ever typed... In my life... 3
thedevariouseffect Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks for posting good high res zoomed in pictures, anyone else have better shots of the other locations, I wanna take my map of the area and actually input these locations into it and see if I can plot something out getting a great overhead view of it. I didn't even notice these footers last time I was here, nor notice the size of some of them that people have been posted as I don't have a good zooming camera 1

RailRider Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Just a few thoughts on the plethora of footings that have shown up in a very compact space so far. Since construction started so early I tend to believe this is a larger scale project and not something the size of Stunt Track. The rectangular footings and triangular are signs of elements because of their size they will have supports that are carrying greater forces and these forces are probably due to some type of element, whether helixes/spirals, or something else. As the lift hill develops the type of coaster will become more clear, if we see parallel footings then it is most likely an inverted, but if its a single line of footings then look for a more traditional sit-down. I find this picture of Patriot interesting, the use of large rectangular and smaller footings in close proximity of one another. I am not saying 8
UnrealNightmare Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I've been studying these pictures of Patriot and pictures of Montu all day trying to find the similarities.
CodyR Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 With the triangular footers I see an element that enters and leaves in the same fashion, so to say. Like a loop or a camelback hill, because the footers are perfect opposites of each other with the points of the triangle pointing towards each other. It also does not look like an invert in my opinion. If you look at Raptor at CP, nearly every support piece consists of footers in pairs.
BeastForever Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Y'all are missing the most obvious explanation for the no camping signs: we're getting a gentle family or kiddie ride. After all, since there's no camping allowed, the ride can't be intense! [dodges rotten tomatoes] I don't get it... Look at the italicized word, then sound it out one syllable at a time. Then think about what camping involves. What? Oh, ohhhh, now I see it!Lame... Well, I thought it was funny.... I thought it was very clever and funny as well. These are forums where people go to have friendly conversations with others who share the same interests as themselves, we should all be respectful of one another. Jesus Christ, I was just kidding... Please don't use the Lord's name in vain. Now I bet you think you're so cool because you got 18 likes and counting off of a remark that I already knew was going to be said sooner or later anyway. Great. 2
UnrealNightmare Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 What if this is some sort of Inverted WingRider? Can you imagine the head and leg choppers? 1
Browntggrr Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 What if this is some sort of Inverted WingRider? Can you imagine the head and leg choppers? I gotta ask: Why invert a wing rider? Wouldn't it be the same experience as a regular invert? 4

Not saying it is an invert or it isn't, but the placement and type of footing has changed on inverts over the year. Compare Raptor with some of the newer versions. The parallel footings is mainly used for the lift hill and station tracking.

Wouldn't it be the same experience as a regular invert? Not necessarily.. This could give them the option to stagger the heights of the seats so that everyone has a good view.

Wouldn't it be the same experience as a regular invert? Also it would be a completely different experience then a normal WingRider because now the elements would all have to be inverted as well. In my opinion inverted elements are far more forceful then normal ones. I feel the Wingovers are more fun then regular corkscrews and an inverted zero g is just amazing! But that's just my opinion. 1
Zayzayd13 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Im still trying to figure out what "element is going next to the flight deck turnaround into the valley
fanofFirehawk Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I was watch the coaster buzz interview with Matt Ouimet and I found something interesting. Skip to about 8:25ish 1
Maverick00 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Am I the only one that thinks its so obvious that its going to be an invert judging by this picture? I easily see a turn into the lift hill in this picture. http://s872.photobucket.com/user/AlexRB1994/media/2014%20Coaster%20Construction-%20June%2014/IMG_2171.jpg.html?sort=3&o=28 5

I think it could easily be something other than that, but then again it could very well be an invert. A fan, possibly in denial.
YoungStud Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 There would be steel pieces coming out of the clermont factory by now. It will take a while to produce a mile of track.

KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Ok so I have a question, are those supports that are raised several feet off the ground behind Slingshot new or are those from KC? I'm having trouble viewing all of these photos on my mobile device.
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 What are we sposed to laugh? Well, yes, but no one ever does. Perhaps if it were funny people would...? ^Are you talking about the long ones? Then yes, they are the remains from KC!

That is true the more I study the photographs, the more I see the invert, maybe I just didn't want to see it but your probably right.
LongliveKingsCobra Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 You yourself said the post was stupid.... But you find me informative? Really? Thanks! 5
LordSkippy Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 I don't see any possible way this will be a campground or hotel. I mean, come on - I can't think of one park with a campground or hotel situated quite literally within the park. 1
kblanken Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Knoebels and Disney's California Adventure have either a campground or hotel within the park. 1
