BB1 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Mean while, I'm going to watch the Gatekeeper announcement for a little while. BB1, who found our Banshee at Cedar Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Don't get me wrong about only being a thrillseeker. I like extreme thrills, but also relxaing chills. Having to lose Swan Lake for Diamonback was bitter sweet. Why do I want this coaster to be big? Because there is a lot of open space that can be utilized for this project. I rather have a monstrosity of a coaster now so that Kings Island doesn't have to go looking for land to use later on. When is the next major landscaping development?

UnrealNightmare Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 What Intamin's have you rode that wasn't impressive? Superman at Six Flags America is boring! Those two long straightaways where they could have added bunny hills just kill the ride for me. It's like yay we've been going straight for 10 seconds now! I also wasn't impressed with SkyRush mainly because of the restraints. But I am also a diverse fan when it comes to coasters my top ten are... 1.Texas Giant (RMC) 2. Hades (GG) 3. Intimidator 305 (Intamin) 4. El Toro (Intamin) 5. Voyage (GG) 6. Manta (B&M) 7. Diamondback (B&M) 8. Prowler (GCI) 9. StormRunner (Intamin) 10. Bizarro SFGadv (B&M) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The subject of the e-mail newsletter sent out by the park today is "Summer flies by. Sometimes at record speed." Perhaps it's another subtle hint. Or perhaps it's not. Maybe it will end up being the fastest ${type of ride} in ${region of the country} that is themed to ${type of evil phenomenon}. We certainly learned from Gatekeeper that Cedar Fair will ALWAYS get a record. Even if they have to fudge it a little. I mean, "World's tallest Wing Coaster"? Yippee, you're the tallest of five at the time of opening. I mean, I have the world's most powerful computer built by a person living at [insert my home address here]. Do I get a world record for that? Well Gatekeeper does ave the worlds Tallest Inversion, taking that title away from Superman Ultimate Flight at SFDK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I was looking for this and found it on my old pc, not exactly maglev but PML is probably as close as it will come in the coaster world. This came from some MIT guys and Disney. Read up, very interesting. http://www.google.com/patents/US7950333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightlyBeast Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I don't mind if this coaster is B&M or Intamin. The fact that we only have a combined one coaster from those two big dog manufacturers demonstrates where Paramount went wrong imo. Little known fact.. White Water Canyon is made by Intamin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 You all need to relax. In the absence of any real developments, you guys are driving yourselves mad with increasingly insane ideas and approaching paranoia in regards to what is and is not a "hint." If everyone took a deep breath and stood back for a minute to look at the last few days of discussion on here, you might see how mad this has gotten. I suggest everyone here exercise some patience, and try not to fill the time with contests to see who can have the most absurd theory. In time, things will start to come together. Keep an eye on construction, enjoy the summer, and for the love of all things good, when you feel a need to "decode", use some common sense. I have never made a post like this, but here goes... I take offense to the above. I try to have humor in my postings, but if you'll notice - they all have some truth. Once again, everyone is entitled to their own views and that is that. The title of this topic is STARTING to decode - not searching for the correct answer nor decoding with some experience under our belts. I believe that anyone's thoughts are as good as anyone else's. And who knows - some of the suggestions might actually give ideas to people who design the rides. Now - I said I was done a few posts back but this was bothering me all day long and I felt compelled to write. I will now go away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ki Man Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Guess how many test runs Firehawk was able to get in before it opened. It was like, 60. Also, it broke down before both employee parties in 2009. I don't want a roller coaster with a computer in the back of each seat. It's a maintenance nightmare. Here's YoungStud again with his prime opinions superior to anyone elses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Two things.... 1. - Mr. Quimet said no wing rider coasters for 2014. If this project is actually gonna take longer than one year to complete, the ride wouldn't open until 2015. 2. - The enjoy it while you can comment from Don leads me to believe that something is gonna be removed to make way for whatever the new project entails. Now, sit back, think about these two things, and ponder the fuzz in your navel! I hope nothing else gets taken away, we have already lost so much!

Ki Man Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I liked BORG Assimilator way better than Firehawk, but that was one ride in 2004. Superman was pretty fun. Either way both were pretty dull after the first ride to me. Firehawk is a piece of sh*t. It hurts your body and causes a headache to wait in line to ride. And makes your pay extra to pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jr for Birdy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Here's a easy way to see the differences. B&M is a minivan: reliable, fun, not flashy. Intamin is a racecar: more maintenance, extreme, flashy ride, pushing the envelope. Your smartest post yet, keep it up! You actually think B&Ms are fun. Just out of curiosity, how many names are you posting under? I'm guessing between 2 and 4, am I close? Young Stud, I answer anything anybody has for me! Answer me! I like you when your being you, stop with your other egos and I'm sure all will be good. Your not stupid so cut out your other posters. Thanks, Jr! I cant decode the coaster yet, but I decoded you, just be your nice poster and welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
