PREMiERdrum Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sexy Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskin Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kblanken Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREMiERdrum Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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.

secondson Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 ^ A less visible route would be to exit onto OH-48 and take that to Columbia Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick00 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 This is quite surprising. I thought Cedar Fair would wait a little bit longer before going back to Intamin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kblanken Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 If the sighting happened a little before 1:16 today, the truck could already be near Kings Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveWorldEmperor Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
