Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees

Featured Replies

I'm starting to wonder if they may alter the train route a little. I really don't think they'd want this ride running through the center of WWC, but could see them going over it a couple times. It would be really sad to see them remove either water ride in that area. I think the interaction, or lack of, with Diamondback could be very telling.

    Nothing to see here. Just some trees, and a few engineers and stone carvers working on an 80' statue... move along 

  • Hi guys!  Long time follower, first time poster.  Just wanted to finally join in on the fun!  This is the first season I've had a pass in probably more than a decade!  I grew up in the area but I mov

Anybody go back to the b&m plant to see what's going on with the track?

Been watching the POV of Prowler at Worlds of Fun. If this coaster is anything like it from what i've seen and heard; I think it'll be a good addition.

I just did, also. That would be fun addition.

It would be good to have some mid-range rides for kids who are "too old" for some of the Planet Snoopy rides, but too short for the big, daring rides.

There is ALOT more gray track, and a few more lime green pieces. A couple of the gray track pieces tags are about 3 feet from Old 32 though.

I think it will have a Prowler-esque drop into a layout similar to White Lightning, however that is only going off a overhead view so I could be very wrong.

Maybe it will have steel supports like White Lightning. Do the prints show anything like that?

Yes the plans show that the support structure is going to be steel, this also explains why there are so few lateral supports. Overall It will make the ride more compact and make it take up less space and possibly provide better night rides.

Oh yeah. I can confirm the clearing to the right just after the first drop tunnel on The Beast. Just got off. They have a Dingo sitting there now.

Where are these plans at? You guys have any pictures of the plans?

Check out the Coaster-Net Uncut video, it's a long one but it will explain everything. As well as show all of the released prints.

This clearing by Beast- is it after you cross under the 2nd lift?

Do we have a commandment on not messing with Beast just as we have one for Adventure Express? :P

 

Seriously though, if we're seeing that big of a clearing area (between RFYLCB and Beast), then consider me impressed.

 

We do. I declared that commandment last week. See: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/32105-the-beast-needs-to-be-updated/?p=733378 :)

It's to the right after the first drop tunnel but is also visible to the right at the top of the second lift hill.

Here is a picture of where to look. Google Maps. :)

Ok now for a curveball that has me confused. This was sent by a friend tonight. The pink marker us under DB right before it goes into the splashdown and the other white white I believe is in the helix or in front of The old crypt building. You can see the cleared out bushes with a white marker. e610ed46f772d8b869f4a1f49e9cd6c7.jpg84c1234fef33096030abb85deb3347c9.jpg

Pink is pretty much just a reference point. There could be any number of reasons why they were surveying in that area.

A cool coaster...maybe and Ramsey Snow getting *spoilered* amongst other things. Fun week brethren...despite monstrosities in the world. What a day. What a week. What a world.

The while thing just looks like a PVC cleanout and cap. Probably a sewer or other drain that goes through there and has probably been there a while. 

Watch that coaster net video..... very interesting

@gforce1994 excellent job, however I believe this will be a GCI. Not saying I'm positive, just my opinion.

A Dingo?

From analyzing the plans thrown around, I realized RMC doesn't have that much lateral bracing in turns, see Iron Rattler. I created this concept:

I am certain that this ride will have bigger hills than that. I have a lot of doubt of any kind of launch.

I'm on the Gci "train" for what is coming. Come on augest!!!!!!!

Mini version of a Bobcat/Skid Loader/Skid Steer. (Whatever you want to call it)

I'm not ruling out RMC at this point but some reasons I don't think it will be them.

 

1. RMC supports have always been straight into the ground instead of the concrete structure that we see in the plans. 

2. RMC to my knowledge has never made the supports completely steel like in the plans.

3. I think CF is more likely to "test" RMC with a Iron horse before diving straight into a new coaster.

4. This layout screams GCI down to the maintenance shed.

 

Yes I know there are always firsts for manufacturers, and that is why I'm not ruling them out. I'm also very excited for the rest of this Decoding, even if it isn't as crazy as Banshee's.
