Oldschool75 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Just rode AE, some big footers were poured going into the valley. Will get on the ET later.
Diamondbacker27 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Construction as of 7-12-13: Wonder what he's digging back there by the old SOB bolt shed?..... (Near the left side of the picture) All of the Photo Bucket pictures don't work for me :/
jcgoble3 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Looks like the pictures have been viewed too many times, exceeding the uploader's bandwidth allowance (I think it's 10 GB/month for free accounts). The only solution is for the uploader to pay for a Plus account or wait until August 1.
The Interpreter Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 See what happens when people quote and quote pictures? 21
Merthecat Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 They did revamp the Thrill Zone at Carowinds, it used to be called Wayne's World, but I don't think they renamed any of the rides. And it was before the switch to CF.
Dms94 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 It's kind if like the park is a mini disneyworld with all the different sections. Maybe theming is going to become more and more commonplace. It seems they're emphasizing a heavy theme this time around. It not all for nothing after all. 1
The Interpreter Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Like Ride, Sally, Ride and Mustang Sally? Don't forget, Kinzel teased Shoot the Rapids as a thrill ride and a thrillseeker's delight. 3
McSalsa Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I'll be 100% honest, I seriously thought Cedar Point was getting a GCI wooden coaster named White Lightning in 2010...how wrong I was... Wait a second...(was just looking at the GCI page on RCDB a few minutes ago and goes back...) http://rcdb.com/10348.htm Well, a GCI wooden coaster named White Lightning did come to be...just not at Cedar Point.
TheBEASTunchained Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 This is what Kings Island General Manager Greg Scheid posted on twitter 10 hrs ago... "This must be a huge restaurant!" And on July 2nd he posted this.... "Progress!" 14
Zayzayd13 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I never noticed how steep the drop into the valley was. And the footers look like they are going to go past Adventure Express.
Beast1979 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Color me excited! Footings alone are enough to get me giddy, but now...I just can't wait to see whatever this is. 1
Zayzayd13 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Just so everyone knows, records can come and go, but a good ride last a long time. So, it does not have to be a record breaker (even though that would be nice) in order for it to be a good ride. 13
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I could care less about records. As long as I enjoy it, I'm good! 3
jcgoble3 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I could care less about records. As long as I enjoy it, I'm good! Paging Terpy, paging Terpy... 5
Zayzayd13 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I could care less about records. As long as I enjoy it, I'm good! you could't care less is what you mean? 5
Dieseltech20 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Wow, these are some rather large Footings, I believe this ride is gonna be a Big One.
TheCrypt Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Pleasure Beach called. They want their ride back. 4
The Interpreter Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I could care less about records. As long as I enjoy it, I'm good!you could't care less is what you mean? I suspect he does care some.... 8
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I could care less about records. As long as I enjoy it, I'm good!you could't care less is what you mean? I suspect he does care some.... I fell right into that one. Being on here for four years I should know better than to say that! 9
Zayzayd13 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Could this be the biggest investment in Kings Island history??
Shawn Meyer Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 ^ So Far Kings Island's single most expensive construction project was S.O.B which is now defunct. If this ride does become the single largest in History for the park, then this means they are totally redeeming themselves. 1
diamondhawk Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Could this be the biggest investment in Kings Island history?? If you consider inflation, probably not.
Ride On_17 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I really do think that supports and track will start going up before the announcement is made, especially if it's during Haunt. It could give the type of coaster away but it's still be a mystery on the stats, exact layout, name, etc. As for colors I'm still hoping for some sort of purple, black, green combo if the name ends up as Banshee. Maybe black supports, purple track with green running rails. I think that would look pretty cool. 1
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Just purple and black. Green adds too bright of a color. 1
BeastForever Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I'm not sure purple paired with any kind of green would work too well. 2
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Something that hasn't been talked about much is a single rider line. I would like to see a single rider line on the new ride! Maybe I don't come by myself but their is times I'm willing/wanting to be split from group to get on ride quicker. 4
JTW Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 I had a dream the other night that I saw a piece of lift hill track on a truck on the I71 off ramp en route to Kings Island. I can't say that it was BM for sure but it was large and built like a box, BM style. The color was a nasty brown almost like the color of dried blood.
Hank Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 This is what Kings Island General Manager Greg Scheid posted on twitter 10 hrs ago... "This must be a huge restaurant!" And on July 2nd he posted this.... "Progress!" So we're building a floor-less inverted restaurant to sell "foot longs" - and "triangle nachos"? Boy, that IS progress! 4
