intaminallday Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 This is what I have predicted… It will be the longest steel coaser in the world. I think this because If almost all footers are poured what will they do in off season besides put up supports and track. Usually if its a big ride like Leviathan than they will start early. Also I think that they have more footers to put down (a lot). Ibthink they shaped out the coaster for us so we could guess but then turn out to be wrong. Honestly there are really only a few world records. (Tallest Invert, Steepest launch coaster, worlds biggest loop on a woodie.) To me those are secondary records. World records are like (tallest coaster, longest coaster, fastest coaster) However there are seprate records for wood and steel cause they are made from different materials. To me this is just my opinion now to wait for this announcement (: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 ^ Yeah I think you're lucky if it even comes to half the length of Steel Dragon 2000 (8133 ft). Pyrenees is the current longest Invert at 4048 ft. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGnarlyGnome Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 How many of you remember tomb raider the ride? It was announced in July and had the enormous monstrosity of the durga statue blocking the view of the tower as you walked in the park. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What do you guys think of the idea of retheming Flight Deck to Bat next year? I think that would compliment Banshee very well IMO, to have 2 "darker" coasters in the back corner of the park! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 https://www.visitkingsisland.com/images/purple/border-panel-bottom.png Mystery solved? it appears that way. What a bummer.

Bottle Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Where did you find this? It's in the .css of their site, kind of:https://www.visitkingsisland.com/css/screen.css This line was commented out: /*.m2014-microsite #marketing .container .leftborder.internal, .m2014-microsite #marketing .container .leftborder{ background: url('/images/purple/border-panel-left.png') top left no-repeat; } .m2014-microsite #marketing .container .rightborder.internal, .m2014-microsite #marketing .container .rightborder{ background: url('/images/purple/border-panel-right.png') top left no-repeat; }*/ This was the fake one: .m2014-microsite #marketing .container .bottomborder{ background: url('/images/structure/border-panel-bottom-2014.png') top left no-repeat; } I assumed there had to be a border-panel-bottom.png in the /purple/ directory.

fanofFirehawk Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 This is why they shouldn't do the subdomain within the website. Or a least wait until after to add that stuff in, not just comment it out. I am looking through the css file and there a lot of image links leading to a blank page.

diamonbackandbeastlover Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 This could just be something to mess with us, maybe they knew someone would find the code. Maybe not we will find out in 6 hours and 16 mins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumakey1212 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 They are announcing a ride at 10 PM (Eastern)? I'd understand somewhat if it was totally an electronic announcement with all of the info being released online, but I thought they were going to do a physical press conference at the park today for it. Why in the hell would they wait until 10 to do so? Seems a bit strange... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gad198 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I am bummed! Longest is a cop out IMO. Completely disagree. Based on what we've seen so far the new coaster looks like Montu 2.0. Montu is definitely the best invert in the US IMO, so the fact that this will give us more track time is fantastic! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI1997 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I really don't care if its the longest, fastest, tallest, etc. As long as they make it a great ride worth all of this hype, I will be happy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
