johnaalexis Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hey guys! I'm not sure if you listen or care but, the Coasterradio podcast featured an interview this week with Adam House from GCI (this week is part 2 of the interview.) They spend a large chunk of time talk about building Mystic Timbers, desgining and construction has been going over. *I am inserting a slight spoiler alert, I don't think what Adam says really give that much away. It just makes me more exicted, but I am flashing a spoiler alert because there was one thing he said that grabbed my attention about the shed* One thing that really grabbed my attention was when they do talk breifly about The Shed. They DO NOT get let out of the bag, but I did find it interest that Adam said "Your going to have to ride Mystic Timbers 3 times, once in the day, once at night, and once to really understand the shed." Again this didn't tell me perosanlly much about What's in the Shed but it did really get me thinking about it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yeah, Don was asked about it like a month ago I think when a news station was out there covering Mystic Timbers, he said sort of the same thing, that we'll have to ride it during the daytime and nighttime to tell a difference about what's in the shed. Some kind of lighting effects, or is it something that shows up like glowing on the train car's at night that doesn't show up during the daytime. Maybe have some vines painted on the train car's glowing in the dark? Hmmm Going to watch the podcast now! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find it on iTunes if you would prefer but here is a link to their website, you can listen to it there also! http://www.coasterradio.com/index.php If you go to this link, the podcast with the interview is the one featured on the homepage! If you go to the archives you can listen to last weeks episode which is part 1 of the interview, it is mostly Adam's background and how he got started in the industry. *edit* - The actual interview starts around the 10 min, 11 minute mark if you want to skip ahead to it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Yea I too remember don saying you'll need to ride in the daytime and nightime..All it did was make me think the bottom of the shed wouldnt be enclosed... but why that matters in the effects they use? Im not sure..Maybe... idk. Haha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I wonder if it will be the same effects during the day and night. For example if I ride MT during the day and see what's in the shed, will the train behind me see the same thing? Same goes for the night ride. Will every ride see the same thing? I always thought the affects would alternate like per cycle like on Verbolten. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 It sounds more like the time of day is pertinent in what is showed. So its probably not a cycle per train.. which I think is good so that you have zero chance of 5 rides in the a month and only getting one of the shows.. unless you choose or are unable to get to the park in the day and the night.I think the shed will help finish off the story... but I'm still confused.1- in daylight2- at night3- just to truly understand the shed? But when would you need to ride?Will you leave the shed the first time through with more questions than you came with? Will answers only make sense after that third ride? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was both confused and intrigued by this too... maybe (long shot) you get one expereience during the day and somthing different at night and you have to piece them together?? again.. longshot but maybe you have to piece together a story?? It'll all make sense in 49 days... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I'm still confused on the whole story thing. All we know is: The Miami River Lumber Co bought a ton of land for the trees with plans to use the railroad as a means of transporting the lumber. A strange grown of vines and foliage started taking over the area by a medusa looking creature. There were hints that the train was a "major key" when teasing the ride in the summer before the pr release so maybe that could mean a little more than just a teaser. Whatever's in the shed has to be pretty epic to require riders to ride 3 times to truly know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 And lets not forget (completely not related to Mystic Timbers theme perse), but log flumes originated because lumber companies would cut trees down and float them down to the mill in chutes of water. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 One thing seems for certain. Whoever crafted this story.. or at least gave the initial premise that grew to what's "in the shed", is truly an out-of-the-box thinker. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenban Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Still thinking this is screen based. Two guesses, either the show is different based on the time of day, or it is based on the conditions outside the ride. One crazy idea I have had is that it will be a massive augmented reality effect. I could see cameras mounted on the outside of the building. Then when you are on the ride you start with something that looks like the inside of a saw mill, at some point the walls get holes or ripped apart and as the "walls" are removed you see an image of what is outside the shed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txdrummer Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Via the MT webcam it appears that the crane is being used to pull the chain up the lift hill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about it and maybe you just need to ride it several times because there will be too much going on to get it all in the first ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowing wind, saw mills, owl hoots, crickets, bliss. That is one neat log ride. Never been to Knots Berry before. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterOhio Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Another note, I noticed that the Lock-out fence on the bottom of the first-drop there. That means we're also getting closer to having the ride opened up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdog42 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 You really have to give it to the construction team they have been putting in the hard work. This thing is definitely going to be ready for Preview+Opening Day. 46 more days guys, we're almost there guys. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCJTheHurricane Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 ^ I think so and you can also spot the front fo one of DB trains on the storage track for the past week or so. Just thought I'd point it out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
