kibrian24 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm new to the site and I really haven't been able to get all into the stuff that happens before a coaster or any other attraction is announced and this my first time to actually be able to figure out what its going to be and I have to say after reading all of these comments the new attraction for 2014 could be something you people have talked about or it could be something nobody has mentioned yet which is even more exciting. Plus we already know its going to be new in some way shape or form because its gonna be world record breaking. But only a day will tell and after its announced we can just all start turning our focus to the attraction itself Welcome to the website! I hope you enjoy your time here. Thanks hopefully this will help me become more of a coaster enthusiast because that's what I trying to do 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Lol, parking lot...watch me go..Going to park in employee parking with girlfriend...we should be ok, getting to 71 is going to be the time consumer, but shouldn't be too bad. Once I hit 71 I'm golden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If the "new" blueprint of the station is correct...this is without a doubt an invert. Needless to say I'm highly disappointed. KI already has two inverts and a suspended...I could kinda throw Firehawk in that mix as well. Does KI really need this type of "fad" coaster? IDK...I would have LOVED to seen a wing or a dive machine. Oh well, maybe the new Action Zone could be called "Track over your head land". Just another ride I won't be riding. -T. Forsaken. I guess you don't like Dorney Park since they have three inverted coasters. And that's one less person for me to stand behind in the line.Also where in the rulebook of amusement park operation does it say a park has to have one inverted coaster? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 So here is how tall the lift would be if we assume the 200 feet of space it can occupy. If the angle is 30 degrees = 115 feet tall 35 degrees = 140 feet tall 40 degrees = 168 feet tall 45 degrees = 200 feet tall This does not take into consideration the height of the starting point of the lift, so that could add between 10-20 feet as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob_rider Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I am ready for tomorrow. it is time to see what we are getting.

bgwfreak Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hey guys, new to the boards here. I'm sure everything has been talked to death, but here's hoping you guys get a great ride that most everyone will be happy with. I know no new coaster/ride ever has 100% of the people liking it, but I hope you get something great. My last trip up from Charlotte was in 2009 for Diamondback, then of course we got your hyper the next year. Here's hoping the pattern follows at Carowinds in 2015. Carowinds is already looking to be making changes at the front of the park, so it seems possible for something in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Forsaken Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Is it not childish to just NOT like something? I just don't like inverts...at all. No matter the maker or the park...I just don't like them, not my thing. I can also now see the "forum-boys" this board seems to be comprised of. You all shun anybody with a different opinion, regardless of how crazy it may seem. I doubt having one less person in front of you in line will make any difference, btw. You all are so quick to judge and assume. I'll just stand in your way for The Beast! -T. Forsaken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The weather isn't looking good for tomorrow. Anybody else seeing anything different? There's a good chance of showers & thunderstorms, but they should be scattered. Such weather often makes for a good time to visit, since it keeps crowds low. Hopefully everything clears up by late evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 if it is a 45* lift hill, and a 16'+ station, that would make it the tallest invert in the world No way it's 45 degrees. Lift hills on B&M inverts are usually around 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If there will be pews and tombstones, seems appropriate that it would rain. Everyone should show up in dark clothes with black umbrellas. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markdb96 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm thinking just based on the shape of the drop and the 55 degrees drop from the leaked "bat" page, that this will be an inverted coaster. Most wing drops are either inverted loop drops like Gatekeeper (not sure what the exact names for those are) or a straight drop like on Wild eagle. I do not think it is a drop like Wild eagle's, although it may be, it just might be placed to the right a bit, and it Is not a straight drop like wild eagle, and if it was 55 is not very steep. But for an inverted coaster, 55 is about average, if not a bit higher than most, for an Inverted B&M curved drop. So based on this, the stats of "The Bat" are 100% plausible for an inverted coaster, but less for a Wing. Enjoyed reading every post, keep it up!

UnrealNightmare Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I think they will be here where I circled. I also spy a single rider line. Or what I think might be one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGee Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The "blueprints" had a denotion on them of "N.T.S." - NOT TO SCALE it would be rather difficult to discern anything from them other than layout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you subtract one from any number it is less, so technically it does make a difference. Thanks for playing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerkid Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I think they will be here where I circled. I also spy a single rider line. Or what I think might be one.And from the blueprints, you can also see doors that you will have to open to get inside. Hopefully this means a lot of themeing. (You also can see an exit door.

Just hard to make sense of it. I'm curious why it's all blacked out and doesn't have the individual steps drawn, unless it was a ramp I wish there were steps because then I could figure out station height.

thedevariouseffect Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Only thing I'm slightly skeptical of but you can't tell in the blueprints and it could have since been revised. If looks to be the controls are on the unload side of the platform, or hopefully possibly above. As much as cameras watching the ride is nice, in controls from my opinion, you should be able to see a bit of the ride with your own eyes to monitor other than just the station, especially the lift when it's your main area to stop something serious from happening or guests being stupid on the ride.
