DubVLegend Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I just hope theres a Splintercat in the shed somwhere. 2 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Maybe it's a tragic love story between the woodsman and the woods 7 Quote
calakapepe Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I just have to remember.. Cedar Point said Valravn was going to have something never before done in a roller coaster queue.. and it ended up being something along the lines of what Snapchat has been doing for almost a year and a half now. 5 Quote
purdude86 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 This is true, though wasn't expecting a ton as it was just for the queue. Hopefully this being part of the actual ride it will be a bit more and not be a big disappointment 1 Quote
calakapepe Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Oh for sure. I'm just saying I need to not get my expectations too high..though this is on a totally different.. platform 1 Quote
cp2013 Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 perhaps its a 4D experience with the vines and wind making it have a spooky and haunting theme to it as if the woodland has decided to "claim" you and the other passengers of the train, would be an interesting idea to see if they could do something like that. 2 Quote
upstop Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Maybe the riders will have to "chop" their way out of the overgrowth. Quote
King Ding Dong Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I am still hoping it is go go dancers. 5 Quote
Reon Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 What's up, guys? It's been about 6 years, but I've met a bunch of you in the park recently, so guess I'm back. Anyways, on to the topic at hand. I'm SUPER hyped for this thing. Since day 1, I was rootingredients for a midsized terrain woodie, and while I was team RMC, GCI is still one of my favorite wood companies, so I'm pretty satisfied as long as it delivers... As for the shed, I'm leaning towards one of 2 things. The first is a backwards launch. While this seems impractical for blocks and such, the matter at hand is that I can maybe count 10 hills of the 16 the press releases promised, so going back over that second half again would make that part add up. My second idea makes more sense for a block. but their gonna have to hide ALOT of construction for it: an underground section. The shed has some pretty solid walls for a dive underground for another short section, possibly with an inversion or dark ride segment, and the animation showing the train come to a complete haunt BEFORE a potential 2-3 blocks means something is gonna happen in there than can space more than 2 trains for an otherwise short looking ride.... 2 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I think that people need to think "outside the shed" for what is in the shed. I am eagerly awaiting riding this thing. I love riding Thunderhead at Dollywood, and I am sure that this ride will be a hit with the general public. 5 Quote
Reon Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Exactly. I'm satisfied with a GCI since I've yet to be disappointed in a single one Ive ridden. I'm just trying to figure out something practical and innovative, since the facts we've received donthe quite match the renderings, case in point with the hill count. 1 Quote
CP Maverick Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I counted 16 airtime moments. I bet that is what was meant by "hills" in that sense. The shed is most likely a dark ride type experience. That allows the remaining track to be a full length block without stacking. Quote
Hank Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 My two cents as to what's in the shed.......everyone gets squirted with blue soft-serve for a refreshing experience! 1 Quote
Captain Nemo Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Better not be starlight experience!!! 1 Quote
Hank Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Another thought.......maybe you get caught in the middle of audio animatronic Mr. Ouimet and Mr. Kinzel having a french fry food fight. 2 Quote
zombieninja Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 I figured it out. They have already shown you what's in the shed! NOTHING! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 I figured it out. They have already shown you what's in the shed! NOTHING! I doubt they would hype up for #whatsintheshed for nothing. Quote
Tr0y Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 More Hammer fist stone warrior statues from the Adventure Express. Now you will PAY!..... again... Quote
KIBeast Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Wow. Seems every time KI gets a new ride, people come out of the woodwork to complain. Yet, you'll be standing in line with me and then raving about it after it's over. KI has definitely scored big with Mystic Timbers. I dig the name, the layout, and I look forward to a nice surprise when it does open. 8 Quote
Kenban Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 I would actually think that animatronic trees waving their limbs chanting now you will pay would be a good ending. But being realistic it is more than likely going to be a screen based video, likely using projectors. It might have some physical prop in the ceiling as well. I could also see it being done in real time, which would allow it to be random. Likely this is being done by Triotech. Since the shed appears to be a sawmill and the theme of the ride appears to be you in a truck fleeing growing vines and trees. You likely stop in the shed then see a video which shows the sawmill getting attacked by "nature". I just hope it is something which is fun to watch over and over again. One of the problems with screen based attractions is that I find myself getting bored of them quickly and not wanting to ride them frequently. Having made frequent visits to Universal and Disney I find myself wanting to skip the video portion and just do the ride. 1 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Not saying Triotech is involved. But I believe that the rides at Canada`s Wonderland and Knott`s were touted as being able to be switched out and modified with overlays and new themes rather easily. Quote
calakapepe Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Maybe some hologram could be implemented among practical props.And i half expect those Disney- esque twinkling trails of lights on so many of their rides.. Journey to Atlantis in Orlando also has this Quote

LowBrassBro Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I am speculating between the popular drop track idea and something a bit less than that. I think it may involve the track shifting and tilting but not necessarily dropping as well some special effects. Now, heres my reasoning. This for one would be pretty revolutionary for a woodie. Another thing. they are going to want to keep this ride moving, it is running three trains so a drop track would have go all the way back up before continuing and that could take awhile. 1 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I'm going with Calakapepe's assumption that the track in the shed might rumble or vibrate in sync with the effects inside. 1 Quote
calakapepe Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Did i say that?lol i must've forgotten or changed my mind lol Quote
