July 1, 201412 yr Dumpster is a registered trademark. As such, it is always capitalized here. As in Rolling Dumpster. I miss that ride.I just came across the fact that "Dumpster" was a registered trademark yesterday. I remember thinking, "I wonder if Terpy knows that." Apparently he does.
July 1, 201412 yr In Terp's line of work, he has received more than one communication from said company. Some think his writings are best kept in one of those brand containers.
July 1, 201412 yr Like many TPR members have said, the oval indents on the footers match the appearance of Banshee's footers during construction. We could be looking at a B&M family coaster.

July 2, 201412 yr I had no clue Dumpster was trademarked. Fixed. And those definitely look like B&M footers/footings/whatever to me.
July 2, 201412 yr It was mentioned in the thread with the pics that orange track has been spotted at Clermont Steel. Interesting if true.
July 2, 201412 yr Jell-O. Band-Aid. Photoshop. Google. All still trademarks. So far. Of those you listed, Band-Aid is most surprising to me. Dumpster I think is more surprising than any of those though. I would have never guessed that. So what's a generic word for a Dumpster? Giant metal trash holder contraption?
July 2, 201412 yr collection bin, waste bin, collection container garbage container, garbage receptacle, etc...
July 2, 201412 yr that is because that is what your most likely used to using on a daily basis (which would apply to a great majority of the population) however while I don't deal with them directly, sit in enough construction meetings where they talk about the placement of Dumpsters, how many Dumpsters they need, what kind of Dumpsters they need and you'll hear a lot of different names that I listed above, and then some; never heard to them referred to as a garbage can though.
July 2, 201412 yr I use the term Rumpke when referring to Dumpsters. Which in itself is worse than the non-capitalization of said waste disposal container.
July 2, 201412 yr Alright here's my thesis with the past few "leads". First off, in regards to the storm, I personally believe that it is an allusion, and an analogy for Thunder Run and Lightning Run both now "rocking" the boat that was added this year, The MayFlower. Secondly, the children personally sound like the enthusiasts, but something about the posts makes since of this. With the older children being able to go top side, it was referring to those who got the word on the 66 Days at Sea and those who witnessed a few events by admin. Third, to the big bang of the whole op, the attraction. I personally think this will be an B&M family attraction for 2015. Invert or not, it will be fun for everyone, with possibly a few inversions and a few water effects scattered around. In any circumstance, the addition would be amazing for 2015 at Holiday World.
July 3, 201412 yr A possibly large B&M at Holiday World? Can they afford that? If they can, count me a bit suprised...and those footers do kind of look similar to what we saw at Banshee last year. They can if its not a brand new B&M......
July 3, 201412 yr Doesn't Band-Aid run a commercial that says Band-Aid brand band aids....No. It's Band-Aid brand adhesive bandages. Suggesting a hard rock park move? Hard Rock is a registered trademark. As such, it is always capitalized here.
July 3, 201412 yr See also Velcro.. Or more commonly known as hook and loop fasteners in the Military

Hard Rock is a registered trademark. As such, it is always capitalized here. I posted that and then after my shower, thought hmm I should look. Oh well, I am probably losing my hearing..
July 3, 201412 yr Does anyone else find it hilarious that capitalization is such a ridiculous crime on here?
July 3, 201412 yr I only wish trademark lawyers found it so humorous. "...and it will continue." --Mr. Dane
July 3, 201412 yr While I understand why it is done it is the most annoying thing I have ever encountered on the Internet in nearly 20 years, lol. Not to mention this particular place is the ONLY one I have EVER encountered it on in all these years. Carry on.
July 3, 201412 yr Really hoping for HW's first major steel coaster. While I understand why it is done it is the most annoying thing I have ever encountered on the Internet in nearly 20 years, lol. Not to mention this particular place is the ONLY one I have EVER encountered it on in all these years. Carry on. Hey, I just noticed your username was fixed!
July 3, 201412 yr Thought this was funny... From the Holiblog: Captain Obvious here thinks that the ride may involve some sort of "drop."
July 5, 201412 yr HoliBlog post by Leah: http://www.holidayworld.com/holiblog/2014/07/05/world-leahs-lens/ According to that, beginning sometime this coming week we're going to get a live streaming webcam of the construction site. Now that's cool. Also of interest, apparently they have a major delivery scheduled for July 25, the day after the announcement. My guess: coaster track!
July 6, 201412 yr I like her jab at KI whether or not it's directed to KI While we could do what other parks have done and put up a fence (which probably wouldn’t do much good anyway with that nice spectator tower) But we have a nice spectator tower too!
