ThatGuy11 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Everything is ready to fly for tomorrow night's 10pm announcement. Nothing special (other than the word "fly" maybe?) but this is from King Island twitter account. Bats fly (They better call it The Bat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Well I also had a fantastic time on here these past few months. I hope everyone feels the same! These 4 months have probably been my favorite ever here on KIC! My guess: B&M Invert Height 189 FT Speed: 70 Length around 3,500 Inversions 6 I think it will be fun to play a little game and see who gets the closest. We can look back here in 24hrs and see who's right. The winner might be able to put a little thing in there signature saying they were the winner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbias1 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Invert. 198 ft. 7 loops. I think thats about right but I think itll be 200ft. I'm starting to think this may be the first ever wing inverted. IDK....just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Looks to me like they built a stage behind the fence near the mysterious "blue thing". That white box truck has been there all day. I'm guessing that that fence will be coming down tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I will feel betrayed if the world record is not height, speed, or inversions on said coaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyk Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 If it were an inverted, I believe it would have a skyrush style seating arrangement. Edit: basically like anaconda and gold reef city with two extra seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 My guess... Inverted 218 feet tall 200 foot drop most diving Immelmann loops on a coaster (2) highest inverted vertical loop (i'm guessing at 170 feet) fastest inverted at 73 mph most inversions at 8 (I think the first helix after the last vertical loop actually goes nearly inverted and they will call it an inversion.) highest capacity of all of the coasters in the park at 2880 per hour. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 It may always be just for effects from behind the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustbucket Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Length: 4,032 ft Height: 218 ft Drop: 214 ft Inversions: 7 Speed: 78.4 mph Duration: 2:20 Max Vertical Angle: 55.7° Except for inversion and the length, do these numbers look familiar? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondBackGirl Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What about length or acceleration?Worlds fastest LSM coaster!! Turbocharged. I love volcano! so a launched invert sounds great to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungStud Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I hope it dives into a trench cause my legs will get ripped off at the bottom of the drop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What about length or acceleration? I think the length will be average compared to the other inverts, and since this one doesn't appear to have a MCBR, it appears that the block that releases the next train will be in the final break run. I think it will go about 73 mph....I don't think there are any launching sections, if that is what you are referring to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markdb96 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'm going to guess tallest full circuit invert at 205 Feet, Fastest invert at 74 Mph, and Most inversions on an Invert (8). Can't wait for tomorrow, however it plays out, it should be awesome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I hope it dives into a trench cause my legs will get ripped off at the bottom of the drop. I hope it doesn't rip you legs off!!!! But I do think there will be a LOT of g-force through most all of the inversions, except maybe the last two...enough to make your feet throb from the blood rushing to them...LOL There might be a dive through a trench, but if the blueprints are legit, I think they are going for big loops. The trenches usually come into play when there are close to the ground cork screws....Who knows, I may be totally wrong in my guess....Lets hope it has some good near-miss theming like Montu. I do think that the plaza is going to include a castle type entrance...Cant wait to find out.....Tomorrow!!! (almost 24 hours till the announcement!!!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I'll take a shot in the dark for the fun of it: B&M Invert 140 Feet Tall 60 Miles Per Hour 7 Inversions: Immelmann, Vertical Loop, Batwing, Vertical Loop and Inline Twist (In that order) 3,400 Feet Long World Record: Something Obscure 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
