TombRaiderFTW Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Best guess with current clues, blueprints, and CF's past stated goal to replace SOB with RMC: Cool video! Quick question, though: when did CF ever state an intent to replace Son of Beast? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Actually, the motor diagram looks like there is a catch car involved. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenban Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Personally I felt like the motor block looks like it is for a chain lift. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethancoaster Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 How do you guys feel about the name "Demon Diesel?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Personally I felt like the motor block looks like it is for a chain lift. But in the diagram the motor connects to something on the right hand side of the track. A lift is usually in the center of the track unless they need 2 chains. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 So, I was thinking. In the classic game of Monopoly, when investing in a property's value (to generate higher revenue), players must exchange four smaller structures in order to place the large structure on that property. This is in the form of four little, green "houses," which are replaced by one large "hotel." That concept remains one of the most ingenious, yet educational rules of any game ever invented, as it parallels the reality of progress in the realm of economics. That being said, the original Funnel Cake stand (and its adjacent patio) is one little, green house. Pray tell, do you suppose that perhaps the Kings Island & Miami Valley Rail Road might represent another such "small" token? How about Whitewater Canyon?" ...just another angle from which to enrich the decoding fun that is this remarkable thread (and even more remarkable community)! Umm No. This isn't CP or SF. They won't get rid of two extremely popular family rides just for another coaster no matter how awsome it is. A major park without a train and Rapids ride? Not gonna happen.How do you guys feel about the name "Demon Diesel?" Reminds me of the yahoos with their "Coal Rollers". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Gal Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Actually, the motor diagram looks like there is a catch car involved. RMC or an Intamin. Yay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The only part which needs centered is the chain itself the motor would not be. It is hard to see except in the out of focus overhead view but the gap is centered under the track. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Also it looks like the rails are a foot wide according to the text for the motor block diagram. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Also it looks like the rails are a foot wide according to the text for the motor block diagram. All the city of Mason gets is the foundation design. The rails do not attach directly to the concrete. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Lift chains do not have to be centered...for example look at Outlaw Run.Source 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Gal Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Forgot about most of it but the scarecrow and fence. But still, think this one is being teased more. Earlier than the 2013 tease. Then again I dont remember when the tease started for Banshee.

Creed Bratton Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'm not making any statements on what I think it is....just providing information. Someone above me stated that the chain had to be center. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executioner822 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 3 years later... did everyone forget another CF park in Missiouri has a wood coaster with Timber in it? KI wouldnt need to refile a TM for a ride already in another CF park would they?

A) This post was made a long long time ago so the relevance for now is called into question I'm not saying that I agree with the aforementioned statement, as this project has had a lot more social media interaction, but pointing out one occurrence (which had a similar occurrence with the prior teasing) does not really help the case of this having the same or more teasing.

Logan Goddard Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 NO ONE is stating anything as NONE of us know exactly what is going on. GavPenn has mentioned why he thinks it will be an RMC but there is nothing to guarantee that. I think the Coaster Net video was the best way of informing us what certain parts of the blue prints mean. Until we see construction and further plans/hints all we know is about the highlighted area of work. As Terp would say "those who know don't talk, and those who talk don't know." or something like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tr0y Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I would be pleasantly surprised if we got an Intamin Prefab wooden coaster. Intamin tho may not be in the best relations with Cedar Fair has a good track record ( in terms of safety and reliability ) with their prefab woodie lineup. And from the reviews they are all fantastic and just as smooth as steel. The El Toro has held the #1 spot for the woodie category in the Golden ticket awards and Mitch Hawkers Best Rollercoaster poll. ( if that means anything ). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonODiamondback Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 From looking at the plans can any tell what the height and the length it might be. And as for the name how about Woodstock Express XL.
