johnaalexis Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 One would assume that they have hired an outside company, who that is, we likely won't know until after the fact. Anyone want to speculate? If you could pick anyone, Who would you want to see do the inside of the shed?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe 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. Source? That's very exciting news. If we have real vines that are growing during the show then I'm going to love it. No one needs more screens, Universal and triotech are doing too much of that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnaalexis Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Triotech!! (mainly since they've worked with Cedar Fair on about 3-5 projects) I was think the same! Kind of hoping actually lol I've never experienced a Triotech ride before, I've heard good and bad. But sometime I hear the bad and it seems like people are being too nit picky about things. This will also be my first GCI and I'm excited to ride these trains I keep hearing so much about! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one needs more screens, Universal and triotech are doing too much of that Quote While animatronics have not played prominent roles in Guardian or Iron Reef, Ouimet expects to work on future Amusement Dark projects with San Bernardino-based Garner Holt Productions, which created life-like figures for recent refurbishments of the 1969 Timber Mountain Log Ride and the 1960 Calico Mine Ride at Knott’s. http://www.latimes.com/travel/themeparks/la-trb-cedar-fair-dark-rides-20150415-story.html Garner Holt Productions is responsible for a huge chunk of the animation that you see at Disney Parks as well as Knott's. I'd love to see them come to KI. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Notice the building connected to the station. I'm curious if that's the photo both or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The building connected to the station is the shed, and the photo booth (as in where you can purchase a photo) is guestimated to be that soon to be built building featured in the picture showcasing the turn out of the station. We've seen some blueprints that place a building there on the exit path of MT and the train's south exit. Maybe the ride will have photos taken IN the shed now that I think of it.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I didn't specify, I was referring to the building in the picture being connected to the Train station not the coaster station. Too many dang sheds 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better View of Pic https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C6fvOhdXMAQhY0T.jpg:large I see a Photo shed at the top middle. And I also am curious why they put the tunnel there... I just feel like it's just a randomly placed tunnel with no true connection to anything. So I really am interested in what they do in the Interior of the tunnel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you question, we ride through the tunnel. Like calakapepe stated, tunnels are awesome. I see no issues with its placement. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, one of thing Mystic Timbers could use IMO is more tunnels. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_Plummer Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I sure hope those headlights work. Giving me some RCT3 nostalgia if they do. Wouldn't that be a sweet night ride? Like driving away from something through a forest at 53 mph. This could be one of if not the best themed ride in the park. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when I see some people's rct3 coasters I pray they never decide to become roller coaster designers. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 AT LAST! The trains have arrived...hopefully we see them on track testing them soon. 33 minutes ago, silver2005 said: I hope Mystic Timbers with added lights doesn't lag....:P Uh-oh. I know my computer isn't the best (laptop with Core i5 and integrated graphics), but a full-sized park like Kings Island, with guests coming in, starts running at like 10-15fps in RCT3 on it (it's fine if you have the park closed and keep it daytime though). Mystic Timbers (and everything else in the park- dear lord WindSeeker would get awful frame rates due to having to render the whole park below plus its lights at night) would be awful if it felt like that IRL...hopefully Kings Island has upgraded their system specs to the latest Core i7's with 128GB RAM and 4x GTX 1080 Tis in SLI. (And knowing how RCT3 is, it would probably still lag) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
