stashua123 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hey everybody. Just caught up with the thread. For you guys who are new, or just anybody. I can tell you the Decoding 2014 thread had much more bickering, arguing and condescension than this thread has had so far. Been fairly civil compared to that thread so far. Don't absolutely take a member with a bigger post count or been here longer correcting or debating you as condescension right away. Most of the time they are just helping. Post count and how long they have been here doesn't really matter to most, including me. Post count is more quality over quantity, it doesn't matter if you have 2,000 posts or 100, it's the quality of those said posts that matter. KIC is a close, tight knit community, we are like a big eccentric coaster loving family. I personally give every new member a chance to become apart of this coaster family. I know others may not but I have huge patience with everybody. About 98% of the time when a member is correcting you, they are helping you(shark you were helping) the other 2% is another story entirely. Remember though, still not even entirely too late for more clearing to happen. It takes a while for them to kill a 40 year + old forest. Banshee and Fury 325 did not have as much foliage(Banshee had barely any at all except for a few low honeysuckles) to clear as Kings Islands current project. Whatever is being built if it is big will take a bit more time than Banshee took due to more obstacles. I don't think they would start teasing this early for a 2018 attraction or a ride of relatively unimportance compared to a rollercoaster or major thrill ride. I'm on team rollercoaster. What it is? Not entirely sure yet. We need more evidence. The overthinking lull stage two is still here. It will change in a month, I can almost be certain about that. Just my thoughts! 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until our cowboy coaster is built with those boat credits, of course. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOBwasaSOB Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 @shark. I can't make my mind be up what I think it is lol. Earlier today I thought a flat and maybe a begun know not to a expansion of Rivertown. Now thatI have seen those last pictures on t seems this is gong to get bigger so I am startI got to lean wood coaster now. It's all just been hunches for me because I am not nearly as good at imagining the path these markers could create or how much space is available to begin with. I am so impressed with some of the hypothetical footprints people on here come up with because it's hard for me to Mao things up to n my mind like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 For those of us who don't speak construction, could someone who knows such post what the different colors of the markers mean? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamonbackandbeastlover Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Ok, so does anyone have any suggestions of what "3' OFF B/C" means? Check my post on the last page if you missed it. I'm not sure. I would love to know if anyone does. Seems your posts were passed over with people attacking Beast Gal. Please quit being hostile to other people. If you don't have something good to day. Don't say anything. This is a decoding thread. Be nice to people so more people stay on here and feel welcome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog33 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 For a little help on the decoding the marker check out the Escalator Manuel on this page http://www.oups.org/Contractor/Downloads . This might clear some of it up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOBwasaSOB Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Wow...I must have been on one bumpy road when I wrote that last post. That is supposed to say beginning of an expansion of Rivertown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would translate this to "3'off bolt circle" That doesnt necessarily mean that it means the same thing here. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I for one, would welcome an Impulse coaster at KI! More on topic, I did see clearings/markings from WWC's new pathway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 On the webcam this morning, it almost looks like there is a plywood building behind the falling trees fence. It's probably just the way the sun is reflecting the ground, but if anyone is there today, can you let me know my eyes deceived me? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I genuinely thought it was going to be more obvious to people, although it is a little comforting I'm not the only one who doesn't have a clue what 3' OFF B/C means*. I'm also a little curious about the PVC pipe seen in one of those photos. It's a decent sized one. * marking three feet from where the (cow)Boy Coaster track will go? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"B/C" typically means "back of curb" as in a roadway curb. That's very common in "site" surveying, but it could mean something else for a structure that I am not familiar with. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 If you go to 5:10 of this great video, you can see how they originally marked trees for removal: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I was just looking at my pictures some more, and thinking. The thing I find most interesting are the trees marked in between the entrance and exit queues, just before the stairs that take the entrance queue over the exit, to the turntable. All of these^ Now why would those be going? The queues for WWC appear to be rerouted comfortably, and finished. They are unlikely to run antique cars directly through a queue line for another ride... If something was going underground, they would likely have worked on it before finishing the queue, and it could probably be done without wiping out that whole copse of trees. Something has to be going /over/ the WWC queue here, between the reservoir and the path of the former queue. Not saying it's a coaster but, it's probably a coaster 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 It appears WWC was open. Anything new that can be seen from the ride only? Yes actually... At the exit to the ride there is a fence that divides the old viewing area on your right. If you peek over the fence to the east by the tree next to the money change machine there is a pink flag. Visually follow the flag into the woods towards the WWC tunnel at the back of the ride and you'll see a couple more flags. Now turn to your left and walk towards the geyser game (TB's favorite game if by chance you know Tb), look down on the ground to your left. There is a stake driven into the the ground and at ground level is an orange marker... This means a dig spot if I am remembering flag colors. Rode the train and it looks as if a coupl more pink flags have popped up to the right of the train near geyser canyon. Lots of digging and clearing to the right of the train near the turntable area on the return trip to RiverTown. Still looking for clues. What if.... And it's a big what if.... What if this attraction is for 2018 and not 2017? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSaturdayNite Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 If it's a project for 2018, I wonder if we'll get a new sign on the mystery fence. 2016: "Watch for falling trees." = they're doing tree removal. 2017: "Watch for pouring concrete." 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'm still thinking it's for 2017, but alas..who am I? Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I personally think it is for 2017 because starting "hype" for something 2 years away can lead to disappointment even if it is a great ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
