silver2005 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Oh, and I'm also praying for rain on preview night. 5
upstop Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I'm sure it's warm and dry.... in the shed... well, maybe... lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4

SonofBaconator Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 This ride is just want the park needs! It looks so awesome! 4
calakapepe Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Looks sweet.. not sure about that trick track to the right before swooping up to the break run. Hoping it has some air but it doesnt look like it 1
Creed Bratton Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Looks like a ton of fun! Cannot wait to ride it on April 13th! 3
silver2005 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 This thing is absolutely hauling through this course, more so than the animations depicted. 10

AdventureExpress35 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I think it will feel faster when you're riding it too. The Beast always looks slow to me in off-ride videos. 6

I'd have to think there is going to be some great pops of air especially on those warmer afternoons. By the look of things MT is going to be a home run. 7
Creed Bratton Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 The airtime at like 29 seconds in has me giddy....I cannot wait. 3

Hoping it has some air but it doesnt look like it I am seeing airtime, but it's like a quick pop, mostly towards the back. Anyone noticing how the first two trains don't have a white section of the side of it? Maybe the first two trains are just for testing purposes and they're not going to be on the final ride?

calakapepe Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 It'll go faster when the wheels break in and there are people loaded in. Im not talking about the speed though... not exactly hah, like it hardly looks like a crest at all rather than a straight section that tilts. Im just saying its hard to tell. The airtime at like 29 seconds in has me giddy....I cannot wait. 29 seconds doesnt seem right. Lol voyage alone has 24.3 seconds which is a much longer ride. From the animation im gonna guess somewhere between 15-18sec still great! But if it was gonna break the wooden coaster record for most airtime KI better be promoting that
silver2005 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 ^It could be a double-up where the first ascent is quite small. 2
calakapepe Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 ^It could be a double-up where the first ascent is quite small. Yeah that looks like it might be that.. but probably nothing as exciting as the double down just before it 1

CoasterOhio Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 I highly doubt 1/3 of the ride was dedicated to airtime. Even with 16 airtime hills. 2
AdventureExpress35 Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 We need to put a dollar amount on the bribe needed for Don Helbig to tell us what is in that confounded shed. Every man has a price. Crowdfunding? GoFundMe? I'm open to all options. 3
calakapepe Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 At 29 seconds in the video....not 29 seconds of airtime Oooooooooooooooh oops my bad 1
Magenta Lizard Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 It's less than three weeks until opening now. I think just waiting is preferable to bribery at this point As I have been this whole time, tho, I'm much more anxious to ride than I am curious about what is in the shed. 18
Rivertown Rider Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I'm looking forward to riding it in a couple weeks. It is hard to believe that opening is almost here. As a big fan of Thunderhead, I have high hopes for Mystic Timbers even though they have some different elements. 6
silver2005 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I wonder how fast this tears through the turn around.... 3
AdventureExpress35 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Is it too early to assume that all 3 trains are this mysterious orange color? I was looking forward to the blue trains in the renderings. 4
johnaalexis Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Just curious guys, is there going to be a no shed spoiler policy in effect?? At least for the first few days?? Lol if not I may take break until I get to ride on April 16th lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5

They may not even allow that. 5
rcwizard13 Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I came across this interview from an amateur coaster site with Adam House. Most of it is information already known from KIC's interview or other sources. However, it does confirm that at least GCI employees have now taken rides. 6
malem Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 ^^ Many of us don't want the mystery spoiled before riding, so discretion will indeed be appreciated at first. Just use spoiler tags or post in obvious "spoiler" threads, as appropriate. After the ride opens, it may be wise to avoid reading topics about what's in the shed before actually riding. The mods will, of course, be watching the forum closely in the days surrounding the ride's opening. 9
calakapepe Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I probably won't be reading until I ride, once April 13th hits tbh.. just to be safe. *walks passed someone who spoils it in one word as I walk towards the ride* lol 5
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 You know there will be dummies shouting what it is when they get back in the station. Hopefully the cheers from everyone else will drown them out. 4
johnaalexis Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 Normally spoiler aren't a big deal with me but for some reason I don't want this spoiled! I was just curious but I'm pretty sure my best plan of attack is to stay of the boards after the 13th until I ride the 16th. The more I think about I may just cut twitter, insta, all of it lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3
