^Maybe getting ready to set up for the announcement

Also whatever equipment is on the ground there , they don't want to get wet or for the sun to blaze down on

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.

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

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.

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.

^^I believe they are cases that P/A equipment or lighting would be housed in

[CoasterOhio]

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.

[Kenban]

^^^ It is a new roller coaster which will likely cost around $10 million. I think the park would consider that a major new attraction.

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.

I believe CoasterOhio was referring to closing early the evening of the announcement, not the rest of the season.

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

He was talking about only on Thursday not for the season.

Right now in the poll gci and rmc is neck and neck with Intamin gaining ground.

[ruffbn]

I am currently on the train. They are setting up the podium on the back side of the Crypt Building. I will try to get a picture from the WWC path.

[Banshcheese]

Pictures?

[Banshcheese]

Oops

As much as I'd like an Intamin.........its not going to happen in 2017.

Would they really have the announcement back there? Does this mean they have use the Crypt building for something in 2017?? 

 

EDIT - On the webcam you can see a bunch of stuff to the left of the crypt building!!??

I wish I was going on Thursday, but tomorrow seems like the best day for my family's once-a-year trip. Thursday isn't looking good.

[Logan Goddard]

Well it looks like we got our location.

[ruffbn]

Sorry for the angle, but that's the best I could do from the WWC path

[Diamondbacker]

I figured someone would have posted this by now.

Could Sleepy Hollow be a name idea?

EDIT: KingsIsland1972 beat me to it.

[DubVLegend]

Great Pictures Ruffbn!! Thanks a bunch. Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! This is getting exciting. Looks like they are going all out. Aaaaaaaaaghhh!! Cant wait! I think we are all in for quite a few treats.

 

 

How cool if they had us take the train to the announcement.

[sikkinixx99]

Looks like camo cover and maybe using the building for a screen of projector??

Well since Intamin hasn't built a coaster in the US since 2012, they are saving quite bit by making track over there.

Let's hope that changes!!! I feel like maybe they are going back and revamping they was their coasters work. We will see the ride of Intamin again!
