Maverick44 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Mr. Helbig is going to shock the world and announce an intamin pre fabricated woodie. After hyping the investments of over 20 million per ride on Banshee and diamond back it will make sense to spend over 20 million on a woody. Wouldn't mind that at all! but......I doubt it will. El Chupacabra? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Does anyone think they may use the crypt building for this? Maybe?? I know they are keeping wood over there. More then likely just trying to keep it behind the fence. Maybe the queue will go through it and the coaster will run through it. That would be cool to see a wooden coaster go into a building and come out. Just a thought.....doubtful but just thinking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they keep the webcam on the construction all winter long. Watching Valravn being built was awesome! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbias1 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I guess the teaser posts about RMC on KI snapchat mean nothing. The executives meeting with RMC last year was just to compare carpet samples. I think the big game changer that KI is known for will be the introduction of RMC to CF. I'm sure their combined force will kick off with a BANG! *Insert: Project2017* I really believe that RMC reference, "Yo Adrian!' snapchat was to throw us off. KI has been known to do it. They like to keep us guessing. I am hoping for an RMC, but I think this is GCI all the way. I will be very surprised if it is a RMC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It took me like 3 hours to catch up on all the posts over the weekend. Did everyone go to a different thread? Haha seems really slow at the moment. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'm torn about possibly bowing out of this thread. KI has done a great job at keeping the lid on this project this time, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that info could leak out. I want to be totally surprised on Thursday night. Hmmmmm..... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCoaster25 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 What if KI payed homage to KCKC in the name? Kenton's Cove Coaster Kenton's Timber Coaster Kenton's Lumber Run Something along those lines? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth19 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 They're surveying and adding more markers to the path wandering behind the train station. It's looking more like a turn around here. As close up as I could get of one of the markers 5' off 101A left/ 10' off 102A CTR possibly? lol looks big enough for a station. Don't go jumping on me, that's just my opinion. Plus, I haven't been to the park since June 10th this year, so a lot has changed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbias1 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I think this is the curved drop. you can kind of see the shape formed by the markers. The lift hill will climb towards DB then curve while dropping around 180 degrees. Then the track will roughly turn another 90 degrees and proceed to go back under or over the lift hill, toward the lake. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbias1 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I also believe the cleared out area (where the old funnel cake building used to be) directly behind the "teaser" wall will only be a large queue area with some theming. There will most likely be a bridge from the queue area that crosses over the train tracks leading into the coaster station on the other side. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Is it safe to say this will not be a wooden launch coaster? That would be very expensive and Dollywood is having all kinds of problems with Lightning Rod at the moment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they get the bugs worked out for LR though. I would love to see something like that at KI in the future. That ride looks amazingly intense! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On sheet S2.3 of the project plans filed back in June there is detail for "MOTOR BLOCK FOUNDATION PLAN". I think based upon that a lift hill is a given. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk No someone said that they thought it was RMC because of the lack of lateral supports, so I pulled up a GCI that used steel supports to help cut down on lateral supports as well. That is White Lightning at Funspot. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been following this discussion for a while now and felt that I should join. First off, I don't know who will build this coaster, rmc and gci both seem plausible to me. I really don't care as long as it's exciting. With this picture though, I think Greg Scheid is clearly making a reference to the field of dreams teaser that Kings Island posted.

upstop Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 They probably won't announce an thing till it's pretty close. To prevent a crowd from causing a congested area before they are ready. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk For Banshee you could tell because they had a huge video screen, search lights, fog a screaming Banshee and church benches very early on in the day.
