Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees

[bm0324]

I loved Gwazi, and I never thought it was rough.......After riding S.O.B, I feel that no other coaster is rough.

Have you ridden Predator by any chance?

[upstop]

No.... But just rode it on You Tube.... Looks rough. But do you have your knees higher than your shoulders and a lap bar from your waist to your sternum on Predator?

[bm0324]

No.... But just rode it on You Tube.... Looks rough.

Rough is an understatement. Last time I rode it I heard someone say "my shoulder popped out" as they got off of it. It makes Mean Streak feel like Diamondback.

I feel strongly the new coaster will be called Centurion.

[CoasterOhio]

Beast Gal back at it again with rumors...

Never compare Mean Streak to Diamonback.

^Oh honey that's from a LOOOOONG time ago but it could still apply. Just don't make assumptions as statements or people on here will eat you up. Just put "I think" or something along those lines before your (or your husbands) predictions.

The only way I could ever compare them is to describe how bad Predator is.

Almost 100 pages?

 

It's more like 3 pages of information/pictures with 97 pages of nonsense and Cedar Point, and everything else other than decoding.

[sixohdieselrage]

^ Haha. I'll agree with ya there.

And surely alot more will be added to that.

Both ways.

[Shawn Meyer]

We should post a picture of the Peanuts gang when this topic hits 100 pages.

Yes that I know, I only follow this because they post some interesting updates but it looks like some bulldozing is beginning..

Ooo! It's a Bobcat themed coaster!

[Magenta Lizard]

I figured /you/ realized it, but I was trying to nip in the bud people going off half cocked, like when people thought the snapchatter had actual insider info.

[CoasterOhio]

But if the picture was taken at the park, which I can't figure out exactly where this is... But If it was taken at the park. It has just as much value as a regular guest posting a picture.

[sixohdieselrage]

I don't like their account. I noticed alot of their pics that they get from the official KI IG, they don't credit them.

It's somewhere in the area circled in red. Blue is the reservoir, yellow is the building, green is the turntable..i just circled those as a reference for where it is.

That picture is taken from the train, it is between the turntable and the reservoir, the same area where the pumps had been sitting when they were taken out and the one refurbished or replaced.

Pic from a few weeks ago, very similar angle:

And there is no stopping in the Red Zone......White Zone

Why are certain users nagging about having a discussion in a thread made for discussions?

[CoasterOhio]

It's a discussion thread for the decoding of the 2017 season and what it has to offer. Yet we are talking about a lot of other things but.

A better aerial look at the area:

Looks like a path along side the train tracks around the reservoir. Still don't look like a coaster path. That looks more like an equipment path to get to the area on the other side of the reservoir.

 

Random thought, but could this be a rerouting of the train tracks? It doesn't seem like they'd be freeing up much space, but the paths we are seeing would fit a train track fairly well.

[Shawn Meyer]

I know this is off topic, but I had fun following the railroad on those maps.

[homestar92]

Sigh... I liked Predator... Then again, I also like Mean Streak and find Diamondback to be unbelievably tedious, so...

[freaks76]

^Glad I'm not the only one.

Love Mean Streak.

Marathoned it once. Bout beat me to death.

[BlondyRidesOn]

Perhaps the 2017 project is a revitalization of the train possibly even Rivertown. Maybe a restoration of some theming (Hopefully not Boneville like at Cedar Point). Just judging by what everyone is saying about it not looking anything like the site of a new coaster.
