Big Sexy Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Saw it a few minutes ago. Green square intamin track. Don't know where its going. 2
Big Sexy Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 It was going south stopped in traffic. I was going north. Who knows where its going.
TheCrypt Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 The location of the track where you saw it would be great. 1
PREMiERdrum Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Does Intamin still import their track? South of of Columbus on I-71 doesn't leave too many options besides KI, park wise.
rcwizard13 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 No pic? In that case, did you really see anything?
kblanken Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 They have a facility in Glen Burnie, MD. I would possibly drive through Columbus if my route was MD to Kings Island. 1
SonofBaconator Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 No doubt it's going to KI. I went on my mini to find a route from Columbus to KI along 71.
jdawg1998 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 No pic? In that case, did you really see anything? Did you expect him/her to take a picture while driving? 3
Big Sexy Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 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?
Tuskin Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 They have a facility in Glen Burnie, MD. I would possibly drive through Columbus if my route was MD to Kings Island. That would be the most direct, and convenient route.
malem Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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: http://cmhimg01.dot.state.oh.us/images/CMH/CMH069-L.jpg (left side is southbound) 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. 2
PREMiERdrum Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 They have a facility in Glen Burnie, MD. I would possibly drive through Columbus if my route was MD to Kings Island. 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.
kblanken Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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.)
secondson Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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? 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.
secondson Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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?
PREMiERdrum Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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.
westcoaster Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Maybe Intaim just passing through??? We shall see what they build
secondson Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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? 5
malem Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 ^ A less visible route would be to exit onto OH-48 and take that to Columbia Rd.
Maverick00 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 This is quite surprising. I thought Cedar Fair would wait a little bit longer before going back to Intamin. 2
jcgoble3 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 What rides currently at KI are from Intamin? I honestly can't keep track of most of the manufacturers, particularly the flat rides. 1
kblanken Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 If the sighting happened a little before 1:16 today, the truck could already be near Kings Island.
DaveWorldEmperor Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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.
Zayzayd13 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 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??
Zayzayd13 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 What rides currently at KI are from Intamin? I honestly can't keep track of most of the manufacturers, particularly the flat rides. Drop Tower, White Water Canyon, Viking Fury, Congo Falls 3
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 What rides currently at KI are from Intamin? I honestly can't keep track of most of the manufacturers, particularly the flat rides. Drop Tower, White Water Canyon, Viking Fury, Congo Falls Eiffel Tower 4
secondson Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 ^ 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? If the sighting happened a little before 1:16 today, the truck could already be near Kings Island. Probably true. And I know I wouldn't be able to make it over there in time to keep my eyes peeled for it.
TheCrypt Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 What rides currently at KI are from Intamin? I honestly can't keep track of most of the manufacturers, particularly the flat rides.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. 1
