SpectralBeacon Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Makes the Vine tunnels at WWC much more fitting too, I hope theres more vines planted around the ride area to get a true nature taking over effect! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they just sacrificed the rear part of the railroad platform to accommodate the exit que for MT. There's your confirmation..

CocaColaParking Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 7 hours ago, Voicetek said: I'm wondering why they had to specify "Kings Island" on the ride sign. Don't we know where we are? It's not like the other signs in the park say "Banshee Kings Island" or "The Beast Kings Island." I'm wondering what this is all about? Could it be that there will be other Mystic Timber coasters installed at other Cedar Fair parks? Not the first time! Just about branding. People are going to take pictures of the sign and post on social media, park wants everybody to know where it is. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 To me, that "sheep" on MT's sign looks like (and reminds me of) Son of Beast's old baby carriage that was used in the promos and on the cover of the 2000 (iirc) park map. Also, the sign looks cool and I get what they were going for by putting Kings Island on the sign; it's like a roadside attraction sign (in a good way). Also, that dangling vine looks like tinsel and I hope it is shaped up before it opens so we can read the sign. Speaking of the sign, I agree with Shaggy''s perspective about KI being indirectly advertised (thru selfies, etc.) by being on the sign. EDIT: Also, Don; thanks for taking the time to answer our questions about this fantastic new ride! 25 more days! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpectralBeacon Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It looks like the second word on the green sign is "ONE" judging by the typeface and what is showing of the second to the last letter. Maybe "KI ONE" like a street sign or address to the lumber company. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I thought (the letter before the E) it looked like a W... so shaggy saying "ewe" (female sheep) made me think that was what was there... Though i could see an N also.... but it looks more like a W to me still 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haru-Kun Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Anyone remember the Land Rover Defender parked outside of TR:TR? Man, I loved that thing. I really hope KI does the same thing with the Miami Valley Lumber Co. classic pickup truck! Park it right outside the ride entrance. Think about how cool that would look. #theming Edited March 23, 2017 by Haru-Kun spelling 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Btw.... anyone realize that we now know there is an orange and blue train? I hope the third train is green Edit- I do remember the jeep! And the Mini Cooper! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Another shed theory- perhaps they will go a Verbolten route where the shed's interior stuff changes ride for ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesv7 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The train in the test video looked Red to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The train in the test video didn't have the decorative front on it. This has been confirmed through Twitter, I believe. But yes, it appeared red. Just don't know how/whether that's going to match up otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not talking about the front of the train; the color. I pause the video and it looks like a brown with orange tint to me. Definitely not red to me . I must be color blind.. except I'm not, as of the last time I tested for it lol ---- The blue train was more of a guess, cause it was a snapchat that had them wrapped, but it looked like blut was on underneath kind of. Edit-- mostly an error of my memory of seeing the picture, I thought it was more obvious but I can't find a picture that confirms what I thought I saw. -- Looking again, it's more brown, but I still see a little orange in it, but I definitely don't see that as red. When was it confirmed a red train johnaalexis? I think I missed that one. https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR/status/843977719549497344 Though, I still think it safe to assume a blue train exists concerning the color of the truck in the teaser, and the real truck that will sit near the entrance. So I'm loggin it up as brown and blue(ish) trains so far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 You know, I think on the Snapchat the train coming out of the station (which appeared red) was a different one than in the video of the one on the first drop, now that you post those images. I didn't pay as much attention on the long shot because I was assuming it was the same, red, train. So, I'm thinking red (from Snapchat), light blue (from the teaser pics), and tan or brown or orange (or however you want to characterize that^ one). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I couldn't find any video of the snapchat video coming out the station. Maybe it wasn't the same, as I also thought! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah, that one was only on Snapchat so far as I can tell, and I didn't screen shot (it has since expired). My strong impression was that it was red, though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or has it been around for many years before that? It was designed as a platform for a pumpkin patch during Hawlofest and it was just used as a platform for haunt. Unless they are bringing Tombstone Terrortory back, which I highly doubt since MT occupies the area, the platform has no apparent use that I can think of outside if theming. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
