Magenta Lizard Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah, I had suggested something Paul Bunyan and/or Babe the blue ox related. So long ago, I'm not surprised it wasn't noticed or remembered. "Bunyan Run" I think is my favorite play on that. I had considered compiling a list of all the names people have suggested through this thread, but it was a bit intimidating of a proposition. I may yet, if I get bored in the days leading up to the announcement. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking Timberwolf but it could be just about anything at this point Sent from the future while riding #KIProject2017 using Tapatalk I want it to be named "Ned Beatty."I thought it was just going to be a lovely walkway, or a new greenspace, or restaurant, to be honest. I thought all that ride talk was pipe dreaming. I'm surprised to see a new larger scale ride coming so soon after Banshee and the new flats, and really surprised at the rides location. Now you"ve all got me caught up in the speculation. I really have to get used to this Oiumet guy. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AintNutinElse2Do Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Some other names I've thought and I'm sorry if I Melania anyone's ideas. I truly don't recall this entire thread even though I've read it all through time. Loggers Run Timber Run Ridge Runner Or a favorite one that fits well with River Town but not so much clues is Calamity 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks like railroad wood. Maybe taking it wider on the south side of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AintNutinElse2Do Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 ^Railroad ties are commonly used in landscaping for retaining walls. So you'd be right either way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not railroad ties. Railroad ties are soaked in creosote or something similar and look black. Those appear to be standard treated lumber. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance this name gets leaked?Terp claims (I don't doubt him, but have never seen a link to proof either) that he mentioned the name Banshee roughly a full year prior to its announcement. Being so early, he claims it went almost completely unnoticed, except by Don.As mentioned, the name was trademarked early in the season, so it was out there as a possibility that many had in mind, but those speculating weren't sure if it was really for KI's project or not. CF had trademarked it prior, and was ready to call a ride (Raptor?) by that name before some backlash led them down a different track. It was Mantis that was supposed to be called Banshee.Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
