Dom497 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I was hoping to get a new multi-million dollar, record-breaking coaster. Call me ungrateful, but I'm extremely disappointed. Oh wait..... Why? You got everything you were hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidw Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I don't get it...sorry. Where are you all seeing the stats? We don't know the actual length, but if this is telling the truth, it will be over 4,048.6 feet long. Got it! Thanks. darn, go away for a half hour and miss all sorts of stuff. Anyone save the pic? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 My prediction: Height: 218 (there's room for it to be 200-220 feet tall, depending on angle, plus starting height) Length: 3806 (based on the blueprints, I wanna say 3680-3900 feet; dont see it being much more) Inversions: 7 Have you been here? It will break the record for longest, and not for height. Have you seen the announcement?Neither have I. There could be more than one record being broken. Why would they only have a picture reading "longest inverted coaster"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millennium310 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I feel and hope that there's something more to it than the length record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MommaSmurfCone Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yeah...I just don't like inverts. Or at least the ones I've ridden. I tend to like coasters with lots of height and speed or fun, unexpected elements. I don't think I am being ungrateful by saying I am disappointed. I am happy KI is getting a new ride, but it isn't the type of ride that I have personally enjoyed. I will give it a chance and hope it proves me wrong! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSkippy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 UPDATE: The image has been taken down That just confirms that this coaster will indeed be the longest of its kind I fail to see how that confirms anything. The Bat page was taken down soon after being discovered as well. ^The Bat was a joke... And you know the picture we just saw wasn't for sure because...? The Kings Island PR department is a tricky bunch. My point still stands. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom497 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 ^Please tell me you don't think this coaster will be a Wing Coaster. For those looking for the image, I was looking through my cache and it says the file has been moved to a new url. What is the new url? Can't seem to find that.

jdawg1998 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I don't see how you can call people who are disappointed ungrateful. It's a roller coaster. Now if I were disappointed with a Christmas present I got and said to my mom, "Wow, really? This is stupid!" that's ungrateful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kings Island PR department is a tricky bunch. My point still stands. Because this image had to be uncovered by someone with good coding knowledge, this was way deeper than The Bat page. That was clearly meant to be found. KI could never expect someone to find this image... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSkippy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 "Well, that's not the type of coaster I wanted" comes across as disappointed and ungrateful. "Well, that's not the type of coaster I wanted, but I'm happy we're getting what we're getting" comes across as disappointed but not ungrateful. The way you communicate has a lot to do with how you come across, and when people communicate like the first one, it makes the entire KIC community look whiny. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanna Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 How can anybody say they're disappointed? It baffles me. I mean, come on. Really? You're disappointed already? The ride hasn't even gone vertical yet! Kings Island is getting a brand new shiny ride that hasn't even been announced yet, and nobody has ridden yet, and yet people are STILL saying they're disappointed solely on the world record it will most likely be breaking? Grow up, people. This site has some of the most ungrateful human beings I've ever met on it. Everything can always be worse bro. The hype of this announcement and it will end up being a forceless long invert is a bummer.Its like your 16 and your parents get you a POS car, you are dissapointed cause you wanted something a little better. Then your parents say, it is transportation and will get you where you want to go. No- What's disappointing at 16 is having your parents take to go pick up the POS car, then turn and look at you, saying "Well? Whip out your checkbook." True story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
