purdude86 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 That's what I was thinking to. Be good to have a seperate top for people to discuss the shed easily without spoiling it for others in the other forums. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 What I plan on doing, which most people should do. Is that I'm going to attempt to avoid any contact with anything Kings Island related until Sunday when I go to the park. My first ride will be Mystic Timbers, bright and early in the afternoon! (Since park opens at 12pm) Until then. I just have to be extra careful. Especially since I work that Friday, so I need to be extra careful that people don't talk at first about it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnaalexis Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 What if there was a What's in the shed thread were people could discuss what's in the shed and Mystic Timbers openly and if you didn't want to know you just didn't read that thread...?

QuantumMechanicsInMotion Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Here is another look at the Mystic Timbers trains from inside the station area, it appears as though Cedar Fair strict safety policies has deterred the Millennium Flyer trains with no use of seat belts such as Invadr's Millennium Flyer trains at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The trains for Mystic Timbers carries out that rustic, abandoned look, the specific train in the depiction is a brightened-teal color. If you would like to see more, click on the link below to see the Mystic Timbers train inside the station area 6 days away from opening day, April 15. If this picture was taken 6 days away from opening day, that would calculate out to roughly 2 days ago from today.

QuantumMechanicsInMotion Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) I would say that Mystic Timbers' entrance is between 95-100% complete for opening day, April 15. The construction crew for Kings Island's new attraction has done commendable work completing the construction phases from the 53.7 degree, 98.0 feet curved drop, lagoon-passing conveniently making use of a wooden frame on steel trusts, conserving a number of trees to maintain a forestry feel and so forth. If I'm recalling this correctly, there was a brief discussion prior, regarding the functionality of the headlights of the Chevrolet C-10 Model truck at the entrance of the queue area for Mystic Timbers, well, it appears as though the headlights are functional. Here's a look at the working headlights of the C-10 Model truck, the link is provided below. https://www.instagram.com/p/BSraxxpgPA2/?tagged=mystictimbers This is sure to add an unique riding experience at night from the entrance of the queue, ride and shed experiences. I think that Mystic Timbers could be the "Maverick" of Kings Island. Who else feels this way? Personally, I think the Banshee will still have the favorable night-ride experience, that is where I will begin and end my allotted Kings Island visits each visit this season.

Pagoda Gift Shop Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm with you, Quantum. I think it is going to be a crowd favorite. I still think it will be in the running as the most popular coaster at the park. In a way, I feel bad for The Beast and The Racer, because they are about to get compared to a modern wooden coaster. I remember my view of both The Beast and Racer changed a lot after I went to Holiday World for the first time to ride Raven and Legend. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieF Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Maybe The Beast and Racer will get better attendance because of MT! I know a lot of people who are intimidated by them because they think woodies are rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Beast will be fine as it is legendary for night rides. I do think though the vast majority of people who ride Mystic Timbers will turn away from some of the old woodies as they will seem a lot more rough after riding MT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterKyle1121 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I also don't think anyone will turn away from The Beast. It has too big of a reputation, and I feel that for some visitors, The Beast will always be their favorite no matter what comes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Exactly. The Beast was the ride that got me hooked on roller coasters when I first rode it back in October of 1995. Little did I know how much that one ride would shape the rest of my life. I even met my beautiful wife because of that fateful ride. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondBanshee Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I feel like it will be really tough to tell which coaster is the best at the park now. Beast is a legend with phenomenal night rides, Banshee is one of the best inverts there is (to most people anyway), Diamondback is arguable the best B&M hyper, and Mystic Timbers looks to be one of the best GCIs. Each coaster gives such a different experience it'll be almost impossible to compare them!The good thing about this is there are now 4 great coasters at the park that can all have a leg in the race for best. Some parks don't even have a single coaster or only have one that could be comparable to these four! TBH, Cedar Fair has done a great job with KI since taking over. Three world class coasters with the high probability of more in the future, not to mention all the other great attractions and overall improvements to the park!The only downside was the closing of SoB, but there really was no way around it . Hopefully MT will help fill the void left in my heart Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Looks like the lights on the trains stay on from the station until the top of the lift hill, when they turn off. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 ^ Actually It looked more like the lights don't operate period, and that it was a reflection from the other lights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
