Coaster Addict Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm with silver2005 If it's a GCI I prefer it doesn't have inversions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyMartyFly Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Welcome to KIC FlyMartyFly! Thank you and as other lurkers turned poster, I love reading these posts and look forward to my next visit with a new ride or maybe more on the next visit. Shoot, maybe we get a woodie AND a giga at the same time! Probably not possible but still doesn't hurt for my number one park to expand even faster than normal, for me tondream BIG!!!! I will always be thankful of the commitment CF is putting into the park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Here is my attempt at laying it out. I think I am close on this one. The 90 degree turn out of the station is to go around the log flume. The only problem I have with this is that I am having trouble scaling the layout so I am not on top of the train tracks next to the water reservoir for WWC. But it makes sense to me and would not require the removal of any more buildings or attractions. Entrance and exit are where the funnel cake stand used to be and follows next to the log flume between it and the train tracks. There has been clearing in this area and I was surprised at how much space there is. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvertiJack Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I think yours is the most accurate so far. It will help connect the dry and wet parks, and also use the terrain to its advantage. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavPenn Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The footers look exactly like the ones in the plans. Here is an example of the difference in the size of footers and how the smaller ones represent a twist in the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If that layout is true, well, I know this is picky, but I'm kind of disappointed that there's no station fly-through. I think something unique like that would at least separate it from other woodies in the area. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterOhio Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Like literally, there is nothing else about the layout or anything other than that little sliver of a layout. which is just a Zone overview. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayzayd13 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 In this layout, am I the only one who could see the possibility of tunnels, and yet another unique night ride experience? Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 ^^No, if this layout is indeed true, I too expect some tunnels and this to be another great night ride alongside The Beast. (So long as they don't take out too many trees...) Also- if this is true- this is exciting whether it be a RMC or GCI, since both of those companies have made some of the best roller coasters in the world. I'm leaning towards this being a GCI though- Cedar Fair has worked with them before several times with no issues, it looks like it has 2 stations (a GCI hallmark) and a curved drop after the lift hill (another GCI hallmark). I am just wondering what the heck that large straight section in the middle could be...the lift would be BEFORE that, I'd think... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterMyths79 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Well if these prints are infact real, this will unfortunately force the parks hand to do an early reveal. One word: "Tempesto". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 GCI has said they can do inversions.......how about a loop? But in all seriousness maybe it would be a airtime hill or a 90 degree straight section like on Storm Chaser. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaverick Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Ok so there was a point in time when Cedar Fair had never worked with B&M before. Just because they have not worked with RMC before does not mean this can't be one. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Addict Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 This is all very exciting, it's obviously a woodie but from what company? Well what will the name be? What elements will it have? Still a lot of decoding left. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingsIsland1972 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hey guys. I'm a bit of a lurker (if anyone's over at TPR they may know me) but I threw this together, making the station about the same size as Diamondback's (just a little smaller as Diamondback has incredibly long trains) and came up with this. I scaled the station before I put the drop where it is, its not shoehorned to fit. It just fits... and it splits perfectly to get under Diamondback's supports with an empty field waiting on the other side. I hate this scenario because I think removing the flume is a terrible idea, but it fits too well and puts the drop in a great visual area for me to believe it's not what they have in mind. Hopefully someone can convince me that I'm wrong though. lol I did the same thing on the KIE Facebook post. Except I have it going in a different direction. I'm on my phone, not sure if i can post that photo. Hey guys.

Shawn Meyer Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The footers look exactly like the ones in the plans. Here is an example of the difference in the size of footers and how the smaller ones represent a twist in the track. Not to be a stickler here, but I thought you said you knew but couldn't tell? Even though this is possibly a leak, I won't believe it till it's confirmed on their page. I still believe this is a GCI wooden roller coaster. Maybe they can get the loop right If they decide to go that route. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Addict Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm glad we're not getting a giga this year. While KI needs one, we need another woodie bad. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvertiJack Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Why do we need another woodie? I'd say we have one of the better wooden coaster collections in the world, not to mention that we have to compete with HW, SFGAM, and Kwood, all of which have great wooden coaster collections.

I'm not disappointed no matter what, but if we're left to wait I just hope when they do build a Giga that it's huge, fast, all sorts of record-breaking. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvertiJack Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm not sure that I see a Giga happening at KI. Cedar Fair tends to stray away from building anything at KI that's already at CP, and I would rather have KI build their own legacy instead.
