KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I'm so envious of all you guys going. It;s hard to believe that this thing is about ready to be revealed. April seems like it was just yesterday. 2
sheikra_rocks Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Intamin is number 1 for most mechanical downtime! I don't remember any fatalities on any Intamin coasters do you? Their coasters aren't made by people like the Dinn Corporation who lots of wood riders used to think had a flawless safety record until that awful Texas Giant incident. I didn't say "fatalities"... I said "mechanical". Big difference.
Kat Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 You forgot Snickers on there. Happy? Anything else that shouldn't have been left off? If you're serious, I want one I'll print them if there's enough interest, as long as I can get name badges through the printer without them jamming. If you're interested and will be at KI on Thursday, let me know so I can get an approximate count.Also see the meet-up thread: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27900-aug-8-announcement-meet-up I'm DEFINITELY going as is my brother Oldiesmann. I will ask him about the name badge when he gets home from work. I am pretty sure I replied on the meet up thread but will verify and send you my guesses lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4

malem Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 ^^ I've met Oldiesmann at the park; I didn't know you two were siblings. As for names and guesses, you'll have to Sharpie® them in. 2

shawnofthedead Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Can't wait until thursday. All signs to me point to an invert, and possible a wing invert? If that is the case, just speculating, how would that change the ride? You're still hanging underneath. How would that change the forces? Any ideas? I also maybe way off base with this.. I'm trying to picture in my head what it would look and feel like. Anyways happy waiting!! 1

BB1 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 One small detail, Donkey, ye forgot my Donkey theory. I petition that name tag!
gingerkid Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Can someone repost that picture of the "Blue or purple" track seen today at CSF. Someone posted a picture but it showed up as a broken link for me. 1

See ThrillBiscuit's avatar for a nicely photoshopped pic of a winged invert concept (Not supporting the idea, just giving TB props for being a PhotoShop ninja). 1
BB1 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Not the Donkeys again! Oh yes, the Donkeys, although KIC needs a animal for the site, zonkies anyone? 1
fryoj Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 heres the only thing I don't get: why for a simple coaster did this project start so early? I'd say it was just for easier construction. You wait till winter, you are more likely to get delays due to cold, snow, etc. And for ground/footer work, that can be a headache. We have a bad Winter and it could delay the opening of the ride. Since that part of the park is not public accessible, they don't have to wait till offseason to do work, like Gatekeeper. It was probably just a case where they could do it cheaper in the summer than doing it in the Winter and could avoid any major delays due to weather.

Diamondbacker Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 ^ kissing this topic goodbye when the announcement is made.I'm still astonished this topic beat the epic SoB topic. This topic devoured the SOB topic and still has room for dessert! 2
malem Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I won't be there on Thursday but I would still like one for my trip to KI next week. But you'd know the answers by then; that would be cheating. If there's a member who will be at the park both Thursday and the day that you're coming, I could leave an extra tag with that person.

Jayblazer Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I love that middle one of the station. Great now there are going to be like 100 pages for me to read tomorrow morning. Lol. It doesn't look like a there will be a shop on the exit. It does look like the shed will hold three trains. Never mind about this line lordskippy made a very valid point. 1
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 I wish I could be there thursday but I can't. I will be at the park Wednesday though. I will probably be wearing my usual New England Patriots shirt and neon highlighter yellow shoes. If anyone sees me stop me and say hi.

LordSkippy Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/ab289/AlexRB1994/1375829491.jpg The fact that only one side of the station has loading gates basically debunks the Wing Coaster possibility yet again. That being said, I'm still pumped! 2
Diamondback FOF Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 ^unless, of course, said blue prints are fake and everything is a diversion Happy Holidays, guys!
