King Ding Dong Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 I stopped the video at 4 minutes and would have headed straight for guest services to file a complaint. Truly nauseating. 6 Quote
Tanna Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Well if you exclude minor leagues and lower interest sports, the last title from Ohio was the Reds in 1990, a crisp 26 years ago Ooh- don't exclude the minors. Dayton Dragon tickets are very hard to get. We're not talking about ticket sales, we're talking about success. That's something the Dragons have not had. They've only gone to their league playoffs 6 out of 15 years. Never advancing since the semi-finals. A lot of that has to do with the Reds farm system being pretty much junk since they've been in Dayton, but ticket sales does not equal success. You are correct. Still would like to see them. My brother went to their opening day, he was in some renaissance play.... I don't know how he got that outfit, but, he was all meh about it, when I was excited for him. I was like, then hand me that King Arthur outfit and I'll go in drag. Or not. I guess you'd have to see the outfit. 3 Quote

Thrill_Biscuit Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 I have a feeling "announcement day" is going to be quite a festive one. I don't know when it is, but if it's in August, I'll have to get all my updates here, 'cause I'll be in Arizona (again). 12 Quote

Hunterhughes1997 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Idk why but I fell like this is going to a GCI wooden coaster bigger than any GCI out there. To me, Son of Beast was so much better than Banshee and I know that's just my opinion but I know some others feel the same. I feel like we already know it'll be wooden and some of these teasers point to a really big ride. I think it'll be a wooden coaster, and a very big one at that. Maybe it'll even have some Son of Beast theming to it. 5 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 From a park whose Son of Beast monument flame is typically snuffed out? Really? 7 Quote
Hunterhughes1997 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 You don't have to agree with me but Son of Beast was bigger, faster and to me a much more fun ride than Banshee and I know I miss it and a lot of others do too. Besides that I've never seen a more intimidating looking ride just because it was that tall and wooden. I would love to see Kings Islamd try and out do it with another woodie. Maybe it doesn't have to be quite as tall or quite as fast, but almost. Maybe give it more air-time hills, and make it more secluded like The Beast. We pretty much know it's a GCI woodie, and surely they don't plan on making something small after the teaser on Twitter about how people will definitely come 5 Quote

silver2005 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 ^Viper at Wanda Nanchang in China- 160 ft tall 142 ft drop 5,111 ft long 62 mph http://www.greatcoasters.com/?p=viper 5 Quote
KIfan73 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Just to go with all of the wild speculation...Falling Trees...Congo Falls and Timberwolf...both rides are also in close proximity...maybe the "falling trees" signs in Rivertown are just a diversion from these attractions being re/moved? On an unrelated thought, I just realized the other day...Timberwolf...and then Great Wolf Lodge opening so close to it...just a coincidence, I'm sure...Now if only wolves were a part of the cat family there could be more decoding... 1 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 ^^ weird, that just doesn't seem like a 142' drop. Still looks fun. 2 Quote
