Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees

[LovinMeSomeBanshee]

So why are people talking about it possibly being considered a giga? Simply because it's not a strata?

[thoe124]

Diamondback would be kinda like a small giga.

I mean kinda. B&M actually calls their Gigas Hypercoasters because Intamin trademarked Gigacoaster.

Come on B&M, trademark "Teracoaster" and make our wildest dreams come true.

Why stop there? Give me a yottacoaster!

And what in the world does LTHB stand for?

[The Interpreter]

Life to half brightness.

Something that won't last long.

(As in early plasma televisions...)

[freaks76]

Huh......well, okay.

 

Now back to what you guys were talking about.

Mean Streak was closed all weekend according to the Cedar Point App

Mean Streak has been closed since the park opened for the year, and while be closed for a while.

I think Mean Streak will be the next Coaster at CP to be removed and hopefully replaced with an RMC

[HTCO]

You think CF is going to use us as a testing ground for RMC? Before they mess with Mean Streak?

I mean we all know how the WindSeeker's went...

[bm0324]

Who knows really. Even a complete retrack like Ghostrider would be nice. If you manage to ride it without the trims on the first drop sucking all the life out of the ride, it really isn't bad at all.

It's been testing just not open. Also Gemini blue train has sandbags on it.

[freaks76]

I see we're back to Mean Streak.

This thread rather amuses me.

I didn't even see any trains on it over the weekend...hm.

Have to start somewhere so why not. KI is my home park but I visit Cedar Point much more often and almost every time I'm there Mean Streak is closed. Also I very rarely see the line longer than 5 to 10 minute wait.

[bm0324]

I'm just confused as to why there's orange spray paint on a lot of the footers.

Where is Beast Gal? Surely she can give us an update about what's going on at KI, and maybe Mean Streak.

I will try to take a picture in the morning of Gemini Blue train. Not to much to say about Kings Island right now other than dirt and cut down trees.

It is really hard to believe we were only on page 32 of the Starting to Decode 2014 thread back on May 18th 2013.

 

Some people still believed it was not a coaster....

 

Somebody, quite accurately, predicted why they would name Banshee and its possible backstory.(Minus B&M Roar)

 

Terps post on the page was very great! Which leads to the point below.

For all those worrying about the discussion hitting a off topic lull, don't worry! Soon enough something will happen and we will all start discussing predominantly that.

 

As Terp said in STD2014, "This is the future's rosy past."

 

And I say cherish these rosy times!

I thought they referred to them as Mega Coasters, hence the MC tags on the track codes.

[FoF96"]

I believe our long lost friend Arrow-Dynamics coined the term " Hypercoaster". Intamins calls theirs MegaCoaster and B&M is Hyper Coaster

[thoe124]

I have an idea for a GCI. Follow the black only for if they do remove RFYLCB, and follow the black and the orange for if they keep it. Also I do realise it's probably really off proportion wise, and that Diamondback goes over the train, but I wasn't paying too much attention to details like that at the time lol.

"package deal" must be some kind of sale

[Creed Bratton]

I love how "credits" that allegedly are from Cedar Point's removal of Shoot The Rapids are somehow transferred to Kings Island.

[FoF96"]

I'm kind of sad. I didn't get one

[fryoj]

While it's certainly possible that Intamin gave Cedar Fair some sort of credit for the Shoot the Rapids problems, and they certainly could use those credits at any of their parks, I'd think it more likely they'd use them for spare parts for their existing rides than buying a new one.

 

Assuming that Beast Guy actually exists and isn't just making it all up.
