FlyMartyFly Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Such an exciting time of the year, things happening but yet we still have to wonder, hope and dream. A new woodie with lots of airtime elements and turns, in the woods or what remains of the woods, it is going to be a great addition to Rivertown for sure. I am 55 next week and I feel like a kid again when I visit Kings Island. I have to hold my composure going to the rides, the excitement is still deep in my soul. So with each new addition that Kinds Island presents, I am one happy camper!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk 12 Quote
sikkinixx99 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 The footers for #KIProject2017 will run at most 33 feet deep. Check out @GlauserDan13's Tweet: https://twitter.com/GlauserDan13/status/754779955096129537?s=09 Is this a normal depth? 4 Quote

Where did you hear they are clearing area east of Diamondback? 5 Quote
supertrooper Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 The only pic I saw was of a couple of logs stacked. Stacked logs have already been shown in that area but they came from the cleared area. I think he's grasping at logs. 4 Quote

I think he's grasping at logs. I agree. I didn't see any clearing at all in that picture.(east side of DB) Also, I think he might be grasping at straws as far as this coaster being huge and record breaking. It may very well be, but it's way too early to tell. Even if his 33 ft. footers info is correct, I would imagine that is a pretty standard depth for coaster footers. Can't really tell the size of the coaster from that. 5 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I get the impression The Interpreter has traveled all around the United States to ride roller coasters, only to say he likes maybe a handful of them. 7 Quote

Where did you hear they are clearing area east of Diamondback? RMC's current tallest Topper track coaster is Goliath at 165 ft. Unless that's a super steep lift and first drop in the blueprints, I kind of doubt that claim. By the looks of it, I don't see a length record being plausible either. 5 Quote
supertrooper Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Plus, he says "at most" 33 feet deep, not "at least". So one could be 33 feet deep and the rest could be 6 inches deep. It means nothing. 3 Quote

stashua123 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Pictures of what is looking like a new access road. (Pictures galore) 20 Quote
sikkinixx99 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Great pictures I'm ready for a big announcement 11 Quote
presto123 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 If they continue clearing areas East of DB then that opens up a lot more questions. Is it possible they are moving the train to the area between DB and The Beast? 4 Quote
upstop Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 In the eleventh picture down, the one showing the fork-lift looking thing between the I-beams, look across the lake and you will see the clearing where the coaster might cross the pond. 7 Quote
presto123 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Maybe something like this for new train route? Just guessing and speculating again.... If they don't move the train here, the area between DB and Beast might be a good area for another big log flume type ride. I miss the big log flume! 4 Quote
Oldschool75 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 The terrain becomes much more hilly east and south of DB. So I doubt the train will be moving anywhere. 4 Quote
fryoj Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 In the eleventh picture down, the one showing the fork-lift looking thing between the I-beams, look across the lake and you will see the clearing where the coaster might cross the pond. Good catch. Probably the "area of work" from the plans. 3 Quote

Not out of the realm of possibility. 1 Quote

bjcolglazier Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 And King's Island's train is used to transport an abundance of folks to and from Soak City. The fullest I ever see the train is when Soak City is closing, and the masses come back to the main park in the evening. 4 Quote
upstop Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Yes. You can see it better in the picture with the "thing" between the beams... And of course while riding the train Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote
presto123 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 True, Dollywood uses powerful coal-fired steam locomotives... True, but my point is that this is not mountainous area or anything. Might need a couple tressels or bridges, but landscaping can accomplish a lot. 2 Quote

The fullest I ever see the train is when Soak City is closing, and the masses come back to the main park in the evening. The train route I made up goes right close to Soak City. Not saying they are moving the train. Just speculating. 1 Quote
