Hmmm. When I zoom in, all I can see is "Obi-Don!"

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

I wonder if there also adding a new antique cars attraction as well. 

 

 

 That would be cool, but I would still like the big log flume back even more. It's practically made for the rivertown section.

What was the old log flume called back where the crypt was?

Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal. Most around here refer to it as KCKC.

 Hard to get good pictures of it. Every time I clicked a link it showed a different ride.

 I wouldn't even mind the name "Beastie" of it wasn't for the fact that it has been used on a KI kiddie coaster. I think it would be neat to tie this coaster in with The Beast.

I'm interested in the color of the trucks.....maybe that'll be the color of the train(s)?

Agreed. The truck is the same color as the tin man boat by Diamondback, which was never ruled out as a clue.

I think the truck is being overlooked here. That leads me to think that someone is cutting down trees in the woods, and loading them into their truck. The physical clues have also been all about wood being cut, from the stumps and felled trees to the sticks. The website teaser may be a diversion.

I'm going with Lumberjack.

I sure hope this announcement is live online. I can't take off work the next day. People have been saying Splintercat on here and I have to say that sounds catchy to me. I know not everyone will agree with me on that statement, but it's original.

I've avoided asking Don Helbig about Rivertown when I've talked to him this season, but I did finally ask him about the TINMAN boat and whether it was a clue, when I saw him on my birthday last week. First, he didn't even recognize exactly what I was talking about. After I explained further, he said no, it wasn't a clue. He would know! And he is very good about not answering while not lying either, if the situation calls for it. So that was really just me wildly speculating, it never was meant to mean something.

I'm enjoying the fact one little ride has lost attention is Race for your life Charlie Brown. Most people were thinking this was the last year but it has totally been lost in translation of this new ride unveiling next week. Watch out for those falling trees.

Interesting! I assumed the same, but it's usually not good to assume. Especially when Don enjoys throwing fans for a loop before announcing the new attraction.

It's going to be very exciting to see what lies in the woods.

What ever happened to that one kid who predicted how many pages this topic would go?

I said it'd go over 200 in the beginning of the thread. Don't know if that's what you meant or not.

But that matters nothing. :D
