SonODiamondback Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Found this pretty funny even the folks up north are pretty excited for MT. Check out @Only1MeanStreak's Tweet: https://twitter.com/Only1MeanStreak/status/761029075531997184?s=09 Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 3
MadMaverick Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Yeah and how Mean Streak is going to get the RMC conversion. 2
Magenta Lizard Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 The construction crew has been busy beavers since I last saw the area. They've started to dig trenches near the WWC queue area (where they were spray painting Monday) and have even begun to fill some of them with concrete. I saw it from DB and wanted to get some pics but WWC isn't opening until later because of the construction. So I'll update with pics as soon as I'm able. I'm so excited! 11
LetsRide Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Hey, friends! This doesn't have anything to do with construction. It does, however, have to do with Mystic Timbers nonetheless. In a different thread/forum here, there has been much discussion about what the spoken nickname should be for Mystic Timbers. MT works well when typing, but it doesn't sound good when speaking. Seeing as so many people aren't huge fans of the name, "Mystic Timbers," we've been trying to come up with a nickname for the ride. And we still have more than eight months to come up with a nickname, because the ride won't open until April at the earliest. What's your favorite nickname? Please feel free to take the survey below! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6PSDS2Z 2
DubVLegend Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Ok guys so Stashua beat me to it yesterday but I've got some pics from this morning. Not too much different from when Stashua went through but some updates none the less. Oh and Don was three rows in front of us on the train taking pictures as well. Might see those on his Twitter soon. Sent from Me using Tapatalk 15
SonODiamondback Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 I think I'll just call it The Tree. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 3
MrSaturdayNite Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 I wanted to vote for Timmy, but it wasn't an option. Edit: Or Timbo. 5
SonODiamondback Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 I like Timbo Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
tjpavlik Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Not a ton to see that hasn't been posted, but... Apparently the unused train station has a use. 16
SonODiamondback Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Is this from a drone? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 3
SonODiamondback Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 BTW I plan on going to the park on Monday if anyone wants to meet up. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 3
Magenta Lizard Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I've decided the nickname I'm going to use. Mister T. I pity da fool who ain't lookin' forward to this ride. 25
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 LOL... I can't wait to superimpose a bunch of gold jewelry hanging off the lift hill... and a Mohawk on top! 12
RollerNut Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I've decided the nickname I'm going to use. Mister T. I pity da fool who ain't lookin' forward to this ride.My vote for best nickname! 8

Magenta Lizard Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Finally got over to WWC queue to get progress pics. As I was taking them, a random guy asked me "what, you gonna build your own?" I wish. 21
King Ding Dong Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I think the Lizard has found a winner! RIP Embers. 8
DubVLegend Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Wow they are really going hard on this. That's a lot of progression since my pics this morning. How exciting! Sent from Me using Tapatalk 7
Magenta Lizard Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 A lot of it was actually done when you took your pics, but from the train angle, you couldn't actually see down in the trenches to the concrete work. I had seen it from DB very early tho. 10
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I can't get this to work... Maybe when more info becomes available! Parody - original available here. 14
King Ding Dong Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 ^ the truck/train needs a Mohawk. Gold chain license plate frame, curb feelers, ground effects lighting. 4
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 The good thing about this being a wooden coaster is that Kings Island doesn't have to worry about the carpenters interacting with guests like they would have to if it were a steal coaster being constructed by Ironworkers. Ironworkers are a different breed. 4
ucgrady Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Does Firehawk classify as a 'steal' coaster? Though it has been said already, thanks Magenta Lizard for your great pictures! 8
CP Maverick Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Firehawk was moved to KI before Geauga Lake closed. 2
SonODiamondback Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I would call Firehawk an orphan coaster. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 4
