JCoaster25 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Yep. Millennium Flyers use T-bars, so more freedom for your legs since they're not squished together like they would from a PTC lapbar. 7
silver2005 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Flyers are also more open and allows for less body movement restriction than PTC's. The front seat is divine. 5

SonofBaconator Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I really like the one on the right! Its reminiscent of a rustic worker's cap. 2
calakapepe Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Well.....Okay, this is starting to get more "mystic" and interesting the more the Mystic Timbers' construction crew completes the construction of the 3,265 foot-long roller coaster. As I said prior, I don't see how the construction crew will be able to insert the trains onto the track considering that the four corners of each of the 5 buildings are enclosed by walls, it seems as though the transfer-track, which is inclusive in 1 of the 5 buildings isn't accessible. I'm curious to know how the construction crew will load the trains onto the transfer-track to then be able to routinely cycle test-runs prior to opening day. In regards to the trains themselves, it also seems that the train assembly is different than that, reflected in the Mystic Timbers' renderings. I don't see the hood of the truck, nor do I see the headlights or air vents as depicted in the renderings. I scratch my head and ponder whether or not the assembly of the truck-like theme for the stock-trains will be assembled separately by the KI team; if not, I think that now will be the appropriate time to make the conjecture that the trains will not reflect the trains in the renderings. Hence, the overgrowth of vines on the mid-course tunnel, shed and station will not be inclusive in the completion of the construction project for Mystic Timbers. I'm investing good time in reading others' comments to see if someone else will notice that the lead car of each of the 3 trains doesn't have a hood, headlights or air vents as the renderings indicate, the Banshee renderings for Banshee matched. We havent seen a lead car photo yet. We can't make such a conclusion. We've seen only the cars that people sit in. There will be a lead car of some sort.. it likely will resemble the rendering. It really shouldnt be that hard to get the trains in the shed. They wouldnt build something that made it too difficult. A wall could double as a door. They could place the trains on while the trackless rollers are in front of the shed opening, as someone else said we could have the trains fairly easily disassembled before theu can be pulled off. I think my second guess might be the hardest they'd make it for themselves 7
johnaalexis Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 Really bored this morning, and I've ended up reading tweets with the #whatsintheshed, it's really funny to read some peoples specualtions on The Shed. 2
Shawn Meyer Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 It's been a week since I posted last. Glad the last time I was on over the course of a week, my question was answered. Yay! Now I'm anxious to see what the front car looks like. As far as the hats go, I like the green one. No particular reason, just the fact that it's green. I know I'm weird. I'm hoping that one Mystic Timber shirt returns from last fall that was like black and greyish. Anyone know what I'm talking about? 2

Elizabeth19 Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I don't know when testing for MT will be, but the earliest picture I have of Banshee testing is March 15th, 2014. Sooo hopefully testing will maybe start by late next week. 7

Magenta Lizard Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Probably not in the shops, since they moved them into the arcade as prizes (to be purchased with tickets) the last few weekends the park was open. I assume this was to get rid of them because #WhatsInTheShed will no longer be a pertinent question in approximately a month. Chances are there will be something similar in the shops though, and probably a plethora of new shirts to choose from. 5

FoolCrzy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I'm not sure it's been mentioned, but I've seen a number of concrete trucks over the last 3-4 days. Currently there's one near the station/queue area. That's where I've been seeing them. Likely pouring the pad for the queue, etc... http://pixelcaster.com/live/kingsisland/Diamondback.html 8

Drummermattk Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 But we all know what next coaster thread for construction there will be! (pretty sure the giga because WE NEED IT!) 4
