BruceWayneWins Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 One thing I don't like is there was no mention of lift hill height. Not a good sign for a tall lift hill which was one of my main wants. I don't recall what the measurement was but they did state it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The coaster looks great! I love the name also. I can't wait for some night time rides on it. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramount Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I actually think this will be a great "upper-middle" ride. Plus I think the theming will be the real winner with this ride. We have a lot of good high thrill rides but not enough that are a little less extreme but still really fun. This ride will be fun 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Not every ride needs to be the tallest, fastest, most inversions, etc. I know KI and GCI will be putting together a great ride that many people can and will enjoy. I certainly won't write off a ride based on a POV, especially a virtual POV! Let me ride it before I judge. I personally like some variety in a park, and I think this only adds to an already great lineup at KI! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm sure it will be great, but isn't this just an updated version of The Racer with different scenery as far as height, hills, out and back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkroz Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 But this ISN'T Timber. It's not about logging. Look again at the logo... the shed... the artwork... the promo video... the forest is taking over. There's something enchanting and magical and dark going on here. That's the point. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 My husband said he was not renewing passes if we got a gci.Who cares if your husband won't renew? Smaller line for the rest of us. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Best announcement in my 25 years of visiting the park. Exactly what I've been hoping for. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Have to say I'm a little disappointed. I fail to see how this ride is any different than The Racer (plus a few more curves).And about 5-6 more hills in a similar length of track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my. If I were going to compare this ride to ANYTHING familiar at Kings Island, it would be The Beast. What in the world is this comparison to Racer that keeps popping up? Racer = out and back wooden coaster of continuous arcing airtime hills. Mystic Timbers = winding, curving, slaloming, twisted ride through a dark forest ending with a secret element. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The page for the ride is up at the Kings Island website. Height 109 ft. Length 3,265 ft. Speed 53 MPH Basically standard GCI specs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIghostguy Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Am I the only one who heard the guy from GCI guy briefly bring up "a second huge drop?" Maybe I'm just hearing things. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvertiJack Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Here's my thoughts: The ride looks great. BUT, I'm extremely confused. What's the shed? If that's being announced in spring, then what's all that about mid August? If someone knows please tell me because I'm just lost.

KIDB Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I just watched a video of Verbolten after seeing it mentioned a few times already, if it has a drop like that, that'll be amazing. I, for one, am excited about this. I agree that it's a nice mid-upper level ride. Wonder what the height requirement will be?

presto123 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 CGI is most of the time stuck right around the 100 ft mark so lift hill height makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Also I don't really like the name. They could have just called it Timber and I would have been fine with that. I agree, but Wallabi Rhone-Alps has a rollercoaster named Timber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engineering Coasters Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm officially guessing Mystery Forest. Based off every single clue that I have read in this topic. Actually surprised that I was somewhat close on my guess. Anyways the ride looks like what would happen if The Beast and The Racer had a baby. AKA it probably will be a very fun ride especially at night. Still confused like the rest of you on what Greg meant by there being two major announcements for 2017. Also, does this mean we have to start a decoding episode 2.5 topic for #WhatsInTheShed? lol 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably going to be great, but I'm not getting exactly what you've been hoping for for 25 years? You been hoping for a Racer like coaster with Beast like scenery? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Also I don't really like the name. They could have just called it Timber and I would have been fine with that. Also I don't really like the name. They could have just called it Timber and I would have been fine with that.I'm happy with the Creepy Buckeye theme. We Are eerie, and we live in a temperate rainforest. (When dealing with Londoners, I tell them I live around Wright Patt; they say "Hangar 18' before they say "Orville and Wilbur".)I think it's grand. It represents us very well. The POV can only show the eyes what to expect. Once we hop on, and fly by the trees, it'll be great. One of my favorite things about The Beast is tearing through the woods. Look at Adventure Express- on paper it's nothing, but riding it is fun. It's too early to ask the height requirement to ride it, but I'm hoping for it to be available for more kids than the more heavy duty coasters. Edit to add: Rod Serling was a Buckeye. How more mystic and wooden can you get? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AintNutinElse2Do Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Not a bad addition, and sure to be fun even if I'm a bit underwhelmed. Looking at the shed renderings though on the Kings Island website if they are at all accurate I don't see where they could put a drop track. What else could it be in there though? And how will it effect capacity on a coaster with no mid-course? Also please fire whomever is behind the name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Greg said the 2nd attraction would be announced in mid August. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph88 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm excited! I can't wait to find out what's in the box! The pov looks nice, I feel like I'll be able to ride this without hurting my neck. And the airtime looks like fun! I hope they go all-out with the theming. It's really cool that they're leaving some mystery to it, kind of like when Tomb Raider first opened. I'm excited to see the box get new life! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though we can't assume that's accurate, they literally added... well... just look and see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm guessing a possible Flat ride for the 2nd announcement. Also the lead car is fantastic. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I seriously doubt there's a drop track... That would involve engineering by the builder/manufacturer - the GCI Rep explicitly stated even he didn't know what would happen in the "shed." I expect what happens will fit the "mystic" theme... And the lumber mill theme on the outside of the structure. I think this is a perfect choice addition to the KI coaster collection. I love GCIs and am super excited they are going with the millennium flyer trains. For those naysayers - give it a chance. This thing will be an awesome night ride no doubt- and some of the best woodies are terrain hungers. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemist Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 If they add a LIM launch in the shed and add about 2000 more ft of track, I can get on board with that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
