SingleRiderAfter1 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 So I have never posted pictures, so trial four. These are the location of markers that I saw from my train ride Sunday. The white markers seemed much more random but the red/orange were what looked like a marked line for a buffer line between the train station and the woods/ maybe not so much woods soon. The reservoir had water and red marker line down to it from the top/left of this pic this. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Interesting how at first observation it looks like a Transfer Brake with Brake run and Lift hill area. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Deck'd Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Ok, Magenta Lizard took my baseball line. I'm going to completely flop on my original stance and join team giga with that last tweet. Seems like they are teasing a very large attraction. I just have to wonder how the new giga will interact with the relocated DA....? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joncars05 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I am almost certain this wont happen but I really think it would be awesome if this new ride is a giga coaster and interacts with DB on some level. Even if they just have flybys that would be really cool. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Sounds like a Giga if you ask me. Carowinds had a record attendance year with over 2 million visits last year because of Fury 325. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Since we're back at the decoding thing again, can anyone point to any of the "clues" that the park put out for Diamondback or Banshee that, if somehow correctly interpreted, gave an actual hint to what was going to be constructed? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMaverick Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Has anyone tried requesting the blue prints since it's public record like with Banshee or is it too early for that? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIcoasterguy Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 @bm0324 I agree 100%, they want nothing to do with Intamin at this point, alleged credits or not lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Because of some boat ride credit. Although they may have gotten credit, I don't believe that anyone actually confirmed this (I could be wrong). Anyway, the credit wouldn't be nearly enough for a large coaster, especially a giga or "cowboy coaster." That being said, Cedar Fair chooses quality, safety, and reliability. Intamin (Cowboy coaster maker) is known for struggles with the last two. B&M, however, is known for the last two. There are other companies much like Intamin, such as Mack, that could also make a "Cowboyish" coaster. I'd believe Cedar Fair would much rather choose them. (Look up the POV of Helix online to see their work). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm0324 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Not to mention all the downtime that the majority of their Intamin coasters suffer from. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 ...as well as that one of their executives went on record discussing "acceptable levels of risk" or something like that. ("Acceptable level of risk", in my book, is ZERO.) EDIT: Also, wasn't the last Intamin coaster installation in the U.S. back in something like 2012? That should be quite telling in and of itself. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 How many INTAMIN coasters have been installed in the United States since 2010? How many B&M coasters have been installed during the same time in the United States?

bm0324 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 And even if they essentially got a coaster from Intamin for free with these credits, I don't think they'd go for it.

MIcoasterguy Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Exactly! What good is a "free" or discounted coaster if it suffers from major issues with downtime, or even worse has to be reprofiled like I305 or the Cowboy Coaster, thanks but no thanks Intamin lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Man that tweet turns it up a notch. Very interested about that photo posted previously about the locations of markers. It would be great if that could continue to be updated! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
