King Ding Dong Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 ^ Well CF said 150M in cap ex and KI brings in about 1/4 of revenue. 37M sound good? I know it doesn't work this way. 4 Quote
Oldschool75 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 The post detail pretty much shows that its going to be a wood frame. It it was steel, they would do a bolt pattern and have the support post have a welded flange that went down over the bolts. These show a bracket that attaches to the footer then bolts through a rectangular post. No reason to do that with steel. That doesn't mean there won't be some steel supports, but looking at GCI's, I'd doubt it.Really?? You might want to rethink that.

Kenban Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 ^Except your picture does not match that drawing. The drawing clearly shows concrete going left and right which would likely link with the next support. 6 Quote

Shawn Meyer Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 A few pages ago, someone brought up the trademark thread. One of the names that jumped out at me was Backyard Ball. Anyone ever think this could be the name? After all it's in the woods, and it's kinda, sorta, in a backyard. 3 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Backyard Ball sounds like something me and my homies play in the summertime. 10 Quote
upstop Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Just wanted to point out that during the WLWT interview, Don tells the news reporter when asked about the axe in his hand "something is going down in RiverTown and you will definitely need this axe". Not only does the axe he is carrying have the tag on it as sent to the news reporters, but it has something else wrapped around the head and handle. It looks to me to be long hair or strands of twine... Anyone else see it? 7 Quote

upstop Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Ah yes... But there is more than that twine on the one Don is holding in the video. I'll find the link and BRB.

cp2013 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 when I look at the twine / rope or what ever it is it makes me think of a tomahawk, or a single handed axe (hatchet) maybe we're thinking something more to a native American theme? in fact even just the twine makes me believe it's a native American theme. Example: Native American Kings Island tease 6 Quote
Oldschool75 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 A tomahawk and an axe are not the same. One is a tool used to attack people and also defend with, the other is used to attack trees. The heads are also way different in size and shape. This is a tomahawk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote
cp2013 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 just looked up the definition for Tomahawk and here's what I found, (via dictionary.com) noun 1. a light ax used by the North American Indians as a weapon and tool. 2. any of various similar weapons or implements. 3. (in Australia) a stone hatchet used by the Aborigines. 2 Quote
