I'm literally freaking out right now! The theme is fantastic and the truck looks even more amazing in person then it did the animation! I'm getting more and more excited as the days pass! April 14th hurry up! (or 13th, and 15th for some people.) 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 That truck is gorgeous! Appropriately aged for the theme ... not that you'd have to physically age it yourself all that much Gonna need to start doing some research about Miami River Lumber Company lol Notice the truck in the photo is sitting JUST outside the webcam I wonder what else is at the park that we can't see 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I dare you to find one thing wrong with this ride. Can't wait! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 ^So far I can't. Although I know a few folks disappointed it wasn't 300 ft. and a hundred miles an hour. I personally can't wait to take a lap or ten on it. Alas, looks like I'll be waiting till the second weekend to do just that, as I have a "Fury"ious plans to do some Volcano exploring that first weekend. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest issue with this ride is that I haven't ridden it yet, but I guess that is fixable, in time. Seriously, ever since riding Renegade at Valleyfair, I've been wanting something similar for KI, so I was excited once it was announced. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWC2003Amy Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Wonder if the log flume will be re-themed. I think that would look awesome. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdog42 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Looks like the ride already has better theming than 85% of the rides at KI. It's Looking great, Still so happy Cedar Fair decided to give us a coaster that is nice. 39 more days, So practically 9 Days and 1 Month Left! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 ^Overall though, Kings Island seems to have fairly good theming. Obviously not on the level of Disney or Busch, but compared to most other Cedar Fair and Six Flags parks, it's pretty good. Plus it's not all from the times of Paramount, as we can see with Banshee and Mystic Timbers. Hopefully this kickstarts a chain of new rides with pretty good theming around Cedar Fair, as well as refurbishment of the theming of older rides such as Adventure Express and BLSC whose theming is just a bit... weathered Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Ironically the best theming came from the Taft era. Don't get me wrong Paramount did great theming too but Taft made it fit. Taft did Adventure Express and Phantom Theater after all. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I really am curious how the track work is coming along, we haven't seen many pictures back there except from the side, showing the structure being completed, but I wonder where the final shapings and the rails have already been installed at. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Guy Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I don't post here often, actually only twice before. But I'm going to take a guess at whats in the shed. I don't know if any one else has thrown it out there but the shed looks like its part of a Lumber mill. So the shed Might be A Milling shed with saw blades as you slowly roll by. Just a thought. I Know the PR guy for the park said somewhere that if someone guessed it they would announce it. With all the good guesses I don't see how we haven't gotten it yet. What do you guys think? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that happening. Nature trying to put the truck (humans) through what the trees are made to go through; the sawing and shaping, sometimes heating.

I'm super excited for this ride, but I'm also kinda one of those 300 ft people lol. I was hoping those 2 rides were gonna be installed Giga first then the GCI. But I haven't complained once because I know were getting an incredible ride. Can't wait to check out some Volcano's myself around Halloween. Only my "FURY"ous weekend comes a few weeks sooner"31st" of this month. I'll also be "running from outlaws" in late June while on vacation lol. Have a good trip buddy!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummermattk Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 well since it was broken last night, ACE members that joined before Jan. 1st are invited to go to Media day! Does anyone think other groups will be aloud to go? If not looks like I might be working media day 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 ACE sent out a newsletter this morning with the registration details for media day. The event will be 5 AM to 11 AM on the 13th. Speculation for a while now has been no coaster clubs would be invited so this is a pleasant surprise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Is there any leads on if another company has been hired to work on the interior of the shed? I know Ouimet said he wants to work with more practical animation throughout Cedar Fair such as animatronics. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would assume that they have hired an outside company, who that is, we likely won't know until after the fact. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
