jdawg1998 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Boy, we really need some more teasers/hints. Things are getting boring around here. C'mon PR team, I know you can come up with something to "stir the pot"! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 ^ I don't know. I could do with some more discussion about the difference between stocks and units. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyMartyFly Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I have something, could be a stretch but this is all for fun. Look at the Caution sign and then image it in layers. Remove the caution "box" then strip away the stripes. Now look at a picture which to me resembles a canyon. The top part of the sign looks like the top of a canyon and the rest is covered and maybe revealed when new attraction is revealed. Warning: the picture on the fence is only one deminsional so don't attempt to deface it to see what is behind. This is just my decoding what is presented. Now you all can rip me apart if you want, I am tough enough. Haha Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looks more "camouflage" that "canyon" between the stripes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOBwasaSOB Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Has anyone considered that they may not be giving us more clues because they don't want to over hype and disappoint enthusiasts with a small addition? I'm not saying it is a small addition, as the work area seems to be increasing, just a possibility. Don and the rest of his team (I'm assuming he has other people working in his department with him) are good at their jobs and will continue to tease as they see fit. I have found it is best to keep expectations low so the only surprise is a good one. Just my 2 cents. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Eh, I wouldn't think that they would care a whole lot about the expectations of enthusiasts. Sure, I think they enjoy messing with us, but a segment of enthusiasts will be disappointed no matter what it ends up being. I believe Don just wants to keep people thinking and talking about the park. I think keeping the park and next season expansion relevant come September is the main focus no matter if they over or under deliver on the announcement. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 From everything I've seen going on when I've been at the park lately, Don has plenty on his 2016 plate at the moment. There are big public events like Spirit Song, and smaller private ones as well. Now is also the time to heavily market their awesome new slides to the general public, because recent weather makes even me start thinking the water park might be a good idea. Even if he wants to, he probably doesn't have much time or energy to spend playing with us right now. Things will probably pick up as far as 2017 teasers when the super-busy summer starts to wind back down. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 One question. If the coaster is a GCI, do you think it will come with ejector airtime? I'm asking since there are now no rides besides Vortex with ejector air. Second, I took a tour of the GCI in Bowling Green and the GCI footers are different from those on the plans. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeast5511 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 If it is GCI it will absolutely have ejector air time. I have ridden two GCI's one big and one small. Both had great ejector air time. I think GCI would be a great fit I just personally prefer RMC and would love to see one at my home park 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubVLegend Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So im guessing everyone seen the tweet on the 20th (the whole "over the river and through the woods to the train house we go") So does this mean that construction behind our famous fence will start soon? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ridden Thunderhead, but I didn't get anything more than mild floater.That shouldn't discourage anyone from enjoying the ride though. It had some pretty insane laterals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBeast5511 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Oh I thought Thunderhead had good ejector air time. I rode it 4 yrs ago tho. The other one was the new White Lightning at Fun Spot 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Thubderhead has more than floaters, but they are usually small pops. They aren't the intense ejectors that bruise your thighs, thankfully, but it's no floater. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Ride Thunderhead in the back and then get back to me on the alleged floater air. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking since there are now no rides besides Vortex with ejector air. Second, I took a tour of the GCI in Bowling Green and the GCI footers are different from those on the plans. I know Goldstriker is a GCI that has the concrete slabs for the footers, so they have done it. Kentucky Rumbler was built in 2006, so GCI has had plenty of time to evolve. Like I said before everyone has the ability to evolve so the manufacturer is still up for discussion, I however am leaning toward GCI. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ridden THead in all seats, Wildcat, Lightning Racers (both), and KR. I thought TH was exceptional in the quick bursts of airtime mixed with laterals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP Maverick Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I like when enthusiasts debate ejector vs floater airtime. The difference is only in how quickly the forces go from positive to negative. Everything else is subjective to the rider. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjpavlik Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I would guess the teasers have stopped due to the plans being discovered. There is no reason to give away more than what has been found already. A wooden coaster is pretty much guaranteed, so what else can you tease? Manufacturer? (for the 1% who care?), track layout? (it's going back in the woods, probably interacting with WWC in someway), Inversions? (maybe, maybe not) The only substantial thing left is the official announcement and the name. I'm guessing the end of August and Sasquatch as the name. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I could really go for a good mapping of survey lines and tree clearing. All I can say is all of the flags I've seen are inside the perimeter of the train, except for one in the old funnel cake area, and they go just beyond WWC to the little hill behind the train storage shed. No visible footies... So IMHO, either this "coaster" is going to be short and sweet or something else. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
