TFCoasters Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Jeez, people. Can we at least be happy Kings Island is getting a new coaster? It may be a little underwhelming by the visuals, but not by the experience. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The second announcement may have something to do with a 45th anniversary celebration. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Gal Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 This has to be a fill in coaster for the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventureExpress35 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Every review of prowler, white lightning, and renegade I have read has been outstanding. Why would mystic timbers be anything less? This thing is going to be great. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureExpress35 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Also my guess for what's in the shed... an hour long timeshare presentation. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a little underwhelming by the visuals, but not by the experience. I completely agree with this, I for one am very excited we're going to get a GCI. Im sure it'll be great at night and tbh it just looks fun. You don't need astounding heights or speed for that. I am one who usually sets expectations too high and this time I decided not to. I decided to be happy with whatever we got, and I am. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Or could we also be getting something like Plants VS Zombies or Mass Effects in our Action Theater? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm0324 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The shed could have some animatronic trees that try to grab you maybe? I like the idea of a funhouse track section that rocks back and forth. Also did you guys see this thing will have 3 trains? Has GCI ever done that before? Wodan has three trains. I'm not sure if there's any others that do. The majority of them run two.

Engineering Coasters Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Lot's of good information about the ride in this paragraph from the official website. (http://mystictimbers.visitkingsisland.com/explore-the-woods/press-release) Mystic Timbers is custom designed and built for the topography of Kings Island by Great Coasters International, Inc. (GCI) of Sunbury, Pennsylvania. Three trains will accommodate 24 passengers each (four riders per car and six cars per train) with a capacity of 1,275 riders per hour. Guests must be at least 48 inches tall to ride. The ride experience will last more than two minutes. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterguy21 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Capacity of 1275 riders per hour. Thats really good considering its 24 riders per vehicle 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 2 minutes....... seems like you might be spending some time in the shed, not just a quick fall. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywriter Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I haven't posted in years but one thing I hear all the time is many of the rides at Kings Island have no theme. Well this goes to show the park is listening. This has a theme to it. I don't have a link to it right now but there is a video on the official Web page that shows the coaster trains, they will be themed to the truck Kings Island has been showing. This looks like a solid coaster that has been well planned out. I'm sure whatever is in the shed will enhance the ride. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoF96" Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I think the next announcement concerns the box in Rivertown. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Goddard Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Don't be mean. Most of us had speculation that was pretty far off from what we got. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEAST Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The Racer Drop: 82ft Length: 3415ft Speed: 53mph Mystic Timbers: Drop: 109ft Length: 3265ft Speed: 53mph Obviously ride stats don't define if a ride is good or not, but I think this shows that Mystic Timbers isn't really filling any gap in Kings Island's coaster lineup. Mystic Timbers will probably be better than The Racer; I would have just prefered this ride to be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Don't be mean. Most of us had speculation that was pretty far off from what we got. Well 99% of us also said "well I could be wrong but I think it's this..." Vs. 'I know I'm right you will see how credible I am during the announcement'. Just making sure we all remember that. I am SOOO excited for this (and even I wanted a RMC). Great job KI PR!! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastfan11 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The shed! That's where the green Intamin track is! Of course! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 They aren't really that similar. Mystic Timbers is more of a combination of The Racer and The Beast: a mostly terrain-hugging airtime machine. IMO it's a much better addition than another major roller coaster with a 52 or 54 inch height requirement. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Goddard Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Depending on the shed, it could have a dark ride portion. The airtime hills are mixed with some turns that can provide some nice laterals, it also gives a sense of speed and hovering in your seat. I would wait until you ride it to make a final decision on it. I think it will surprise quite a few of the RMC crowd. Edit: Well there were a lot of posts made between mine and the one I was responding to, so this was aimed at people comparing Racer and Mystic Timbers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCJTheHurricane Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 It does look quite awesome, I do have to admit. I love a wooded scenery and water crossing. The elements we don't know about will be icing on the cake. The actual coaster layout and location was figured out very early in this thread. Here are a few words from the description on KI site: ..... " medusa-like growth of vines as nature moved in"...... What's so funny is that I was researching Medusa today because I was going to suggest that as a name. One of my names was Timber Falls so I want half credit. Where exactly is this shed going to be? There are some renderings on the site that KI has put up right here: http://mystictimbers.visitkingsisland.com/nature-rises/ride-renderings They also have a video showing the outside of the shed, I added a screenshot of that below. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvestmanMan Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 From what I've heard about the condition of the Grand Carousel, that part of the video where vines overgrow the horses and such might actually happen. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 So Goble, is getting a GCI the equivalent of the Yoda/Dooku showdown in Episode 2? silver2005, ending this thread proper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
