pkiknex25 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Does anyone know who makes track for Intamin then? Just a curious question not to get far off topic. Edit - I know everyone hates Intamin...just wondering where their track might be made. Last I heard, it was still manufactured in Europe. Wow, They ship all steel track over that's crazy!! Maybe saving money? I would think that would cost more? CSF used to be just the North American plant for B&M, but now they're manufacturing and shipping all their rides worldwide too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess then Intamin would do the same just from across the pond. Ok right on. Was hoping they were having the steel work done here so we could keep an eye on that factory as we do at CSF. EDIT - I am not sure what I see in that picture? Maybe the announcement will take place inside the Crypt if it rains? haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Those look like grave stones. Edit: OR something is going into the big box. Seems like a lot of activity in the picture at the Crypt exit and on the roof too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubVLegend Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Check out what I received from the Kings Island app today. Not this first time they've used the word major bit this time it was Major attraction..... Maybe it won't be as small as we think.

CoasterOhio Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I heard that Diamondback will be closing early. Not sure if it's true or not though. Closing early, as in closing before the park does on July 28th. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 ^^^ It is a new roller coaster which will likely cost around $10 million. I think the park would consider that a major new attraction. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I heard that Diamondback will be closing early. Not sure if it's true or not though. Closing early, as in closing before the park does on July 28th. I highly doubt they would close the biggest coaster in the park prior to closing day. Any work that would need to be done would wait until the end of the season. Sent from my iOS 10 device 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I believe CoasterOhio was referring to closing early the evening of the announcement, not the rest of the season. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshcheese Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 How has this not leaked yet? I personally don't care about the announcement. I'd like to know whatever this thing is as soon as possible! And we could all move away from all the stupid posts and trolls. I may me limited in this view though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see the ride of Intamin again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
