Shawn Meyer Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Maybe with it being Sunday, not a lot will be coming in right away. Plus maybe they're only ordering what they need at this time. That's my guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Wait wouldn't there be mo re than one truck load of wood I would think they would ship as much of it as possible not just one load. I'm saying just a coinenedece Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Gee, how many loads of wood can you devour in a day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonODiamondback Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I would expect that they would multiple drivers to deliver the amount of wood needed. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubVLegend Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Im hoping for some records. The only wooden record that Kings Island holds now-a-days is Longest Wooden Coaster(that im aware of). They could retake the Records for Height, drop, and speed! Which i believe are all owned by parks not owned by CF. But lets get something clear even if there is no records broken Im sure Ill be happy with what they got in store. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXIfOJ1Dg6w One of these guys has an engineering background and in this vid they breakdown the original leaked blueprints. This guy did predict steel structure because of the lack of lateral supports. They also predicted a relatively small to medium size coaster that is low to the ground. I hope the second part isn't true. I don't think KI needs another "transition" type coaster. A bridge between small and large. At any rate it will be neat regardless going through the woods. Love that part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm not late to the party. I was just pointing out a guy with an engineering background that predicted steel structure since Interpreter brought up steel. Didn't know if everybody had seen that video. Those guys were kind of arguing with me that KI needs a transition coaster. I disagreed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI Guy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Track wood and support wood are not the same type. Kind of embarrassed that I know that. That can tell you if you somehow found out what wood that is. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can tell you if you somehow found out what wood that is. The wood could be for the station or staging area too. Doesn't tell us it's definitely a wood coaster yet. On second thought, they probably do those areas last though, I would think. Maybe you can tell I'm not a coaster construction nerd like some are. LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 ^^^ Don't have a survey but the opinions run the gamut. Some want a family coaster, many a giga, inversions, wild, tame, RMC, GCI. I don't think there is a consensus on what is wanted and what we are likely to get. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Seems weird being a newbie. I'm probably a member of at least a dozen message boards with posts on a lot of them of 5,000 plus. I'm not a post whore, just been a member for a long time on those boards.

But after the video was posted some were happy and supported the ideas, others were against them and are preaching RMC only. Generally I think most people took it as more info and research, then a "this is what we should be getting". I think most people will be happy with what we get, even if it is a "transition" coaster. Of course, there will always be some that are dissapointed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Just one question..... If this is for project 2017, why deliver wood when not a single foundation or footer has been poured? Seems a bit early to me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubVLegend Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Ok so thank you gforce i did miss the train vid on @glauserdan13. But that also brings me to another question. Anyone know anything about this guy? i looked through some more of his tweets and he posted one of the beams installed and said "thats not a retaining wall". Has this already been pointed out and i missed it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think he is just speculating at this point. He is also dead set that the I-beams are for the actual ride, and that it will be a RMC. I am almost certain that the beams are for a retaining wall and in no way are footers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is for project 2017, why deliver wood when not a single foundation or footer has been poured? Seems a bit early to me. When the front end of the second truck comes from a shipping company that has locations in MT and TX, you might find an answer. From a pic put online. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit early to me. Could be for another fence to keep our prying eyes out of their business. We also need a better solution than those tarps to stash the bodies of the beggars and demanders. Progress. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
