    As the old saying goes... "Pics or it didn't happen"

  • If by Santa Clause you mean Big Green track on I-71, then yes.

    Sorry folks. Just saw this. I have some land in muernen KY. I won the powerball a few weeks ago while vacationing in Florida and wanted to hire intamin to recreate maverick in green. They told me

It was going south stopped in traffic. I was going north. Who knows where its going.

Does Intamin still import their track? South of of Columbus on I-71 doesn't leave too many options besides KI, park wise.

They have a facility in Glen Burnie, MD. I would possibly drive through Columbus if my route was MD to Kings Island.

No pic? In that case, did you really see anything?

Did you expect him/her to take a picture while driving?

Couldn't take pic driving as going opposite direction. Should have not posted, I don't know where it was going etc. I was just excited. Its either cinci, chicago?

That would be the most direct, and convenient route.

If roller coaster track is indeed coming through Columbus, the project involved can't stay secret much longer.

In case anyone's interested enough to reload traffic cameras over and over, here's a traffic camera of I-71 south of the I-70/I-71 split:

In case one camera's not enough, here's a list of them all: http://www.buckeyetraffic.org/services/Cameras.aspx

To be truly thorough, one might want to check I-270 bypassing Columbus. That list should include every operating traffic camera in the state.

It makes perfect sense... 70 to 68 to 79 back to 70, or 70 up to the PA turnpike and back onto 70... Both go into Columbus, where 71 is a straight shot southwest.

I've used that route from Columbus to NYC and Columbus to Baltimore many times.

What kind of truck was it? If it was from R&L Carriers, they might just be driving to that huge trucking place near exit 50. (They say they deliver anything anytime anywhere.)

I'm sure that would make someone excited. It's certainly interesting. If it was heading south on I-71, it's highly doubtful it was on its way to Chicago.

Is there any place to legally park around Kings Island for a couple of hours to sit and look for a truck with green track entering the property?

I would venture to guess that this material would be delivered and staged near the greenhouses, close to the old Wild Animal Habitat and SOB site.

So the truck would probably be exiting I-71 at Kings Mills Rd. There's a McDonald's there. Anyone got a sudden craving for a Big Mac?

This is quite surprising. I thought Cedar Fair would wait a little bit longer before going back to Intamin.

What rides currently at KI are from Intamin? I honestly can't keep track of most of the manufacturers, particularly the flat rides.

If the sighting happened a little before 1:16 today, the truck could already be near Kings Island.

If it's going to KI. And if it ever got out of traffic.

This is starting to get interesting. And the only place the Intamin track can go to is Kings Island! The anticipation is building rapidly!!! And when are we going to see more teasers??

Drop Tower, White Water Canyon, Viking Fury, Congo Falls

Eiffel Tower

^ A less visible route would be to exit onto OH-48 and take that to Columbia Rd.

Okay, that's true enough. Good point. Anyone need to do a bit of shopping at Target or Kohl's on Rt. 48? But I'm not sure why it matters if the route is less visible. Once the track starts being delivered (basing this on assumption), it would become visible from the Eiffel Tower, no?

Probably true. And I know I wouldn't be able to make it over there in time to keep my eyes peeled for it.

The Eiffel Tower, Viking Fury, White Water Canyon, Drop Tower, and Congo Falls I believe are the only rides at Kings Island built by Intamin.
