chickenbowl Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Lets hope not. Seriously, that's sounds like a really stupid way to split up a coaster. The Beast is one thing, but some like Smiler, where there's a lift hill in the middle seems really stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just a thought - if it IS a record-breaking bathroom, it could be called Big John.......blue supports, red seats! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Addict Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Obviously some are hating the thought of an invert, while most are excited about an invert. What if its not an invert? I think this thread would turn into a cyber riot. I will be happy with anything but a wooden hybrid. With that completely out of the discussion, Id just be Happy, Happy, Happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingMaster Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 There is a post. A post in this forum. A post that mentions what might just be a key part of this "world record breaker". It's only been mentioned by two people, and seems to keep getting glazed over. Something that's quite unique to Kings Island...something that has been common on a few coasters over the years... Search and you may see. It is so obvious double lift hill They're gonna be double lift hills themed to rainbows... ...wait. Rainbows? Little woodland critters? Oh, no... It's gonna be the world's first coaster themed to My Little Pony named RAINBOW DASH! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!11!!1?!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with a hybrid? haha I'm just very picky about wooden coasters. I believe wooden roller coasters are classics, a blast from the past. Adding a track made entirely of steel in my opinion is like a slap in the face to roller coaster history. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If it is a B&M Inverted roller coaster that breaks Major records these are the basic stats that it could have . Stat- Measure (Current Holder) Height- 196 feet+ (Alpengiest full circuit )/ 216 feet+ (Wicked Twister) Drop- 171 feet+ (Alpengiest full circuit)/ 207+ (Wicked Twister) Speed-73 MPH+ (Wicked Twister) Length- 4,048.7 feet+ (Pyrenees) Inversions- 8+ (Montu) Source: RCDB These are all likely to be broken but none of these will probably be bigger than Diamondback's stats other than inversions. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryoj Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I just can't see them doing double lifts. I think we'd see 8 inversions long before we saw the additional cost and maintenance of a second lift. If this thing was going to be a mile long I could see it, but based on what we are seeing I could only see the 2nd lift as a way to get the train out of the valley and back up to the station. If they use two lifts as the world record breaking aspect and the second lift is just to pull it into the station I think it's a cop out. Now if they made it longer and a second lift replaced the mcbr and could lead to 4 train operation, I could see some practicality to it. But even then, I can't see that being green lit by Cedar Fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBackGirl Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I might sound really dumb here and please don't crucify me if I do, but in the picture of the track that was posted does it look like invert track to anyone? I can't tell. was just wondering if anyone else had a better idea. EDIT: Spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast is one thing, but some like Smiler, where there's a lift hill in the middle seems really stupid. To me, having two lift hills is "cheating". It would be awesome if there was a 14 inversion coaster that relied on one big drop's momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrillcaptinspike Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 World's first coaster to sit on the former site of the world's first looping wooden coaster.The first looping wooden coaster was not at Kings Island. Nor was it built in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to sat that looks like some invert track I might sound really dumb here and please don't crucify me if I do, but in the picture of the track that was posted does it look like invert track to anyone? I can't tell. was just wondering if anyone else had a better idea. EDIT: Spelling I'm not an expert but I don't believe that pic looks like any invert I've ever seen or been on. I can't think of a single one where you have metal bars between the supports and the actual track. To me that looks like a transfer track. But someone show me a pic of an invert that looks like that and I'd consider believing them. Until then I'm of the believe that track is not an inverted track of any kind. To all of you praying to the coaster gods for an inverted coaster this doesn't mean that pic is of our coaster no matter what type of ride that's from. I am of the minority hoping this is not an inverted coaster. Of B&M'S roller coasters: Diver coasters, inverted, stand up, sit down, floorless, flying , hyper, and winged... Honestly I'd rather have a world record breaking any one of those over an inverted coaster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to get it the best I could from the road (trespassing is a no no) and the camera on my phone (Galaxy Note 2) isn't the best. Would have been easier with a DSLR.
