Shaggy Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 The clearing now extends all the way back next to The Beasts mid course break shed and into the ravine under its second drop. Whatever it is going to be.... it’s huge 8
ohiocoasterfan Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Can someone on a map mark out where The Beast brake shed is? 1

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have serious doubts that the project will resemble The Beast Unleashed video I made in either theming or layout, but if it does I will absolutely lose my mind. 5

I’m sure this has already been mentioned but there are markers in X - Base I didn’t think you were serious.... but there is literally several excavators at work right this minute. Field of Screams is so exposed. 2

The cleared area has really grown since last weekends pics showed. 3
sixohdieselrage Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 @ohiocoasterfan Used the pic @Kenban posted, but its approximately where the yellow line is. Also, would this next picture come in handy for yall? Took it January 5th. 6 1
ohiocoasterfan Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 @sixohdieselrage when are you getting back up in the air? 4
Rivertown Rider Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 They were still working when I just got off Racer. Hopefully the Eiffel Tower opens back up this evening. 2
starlitfire Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Just wondering, but with the rate of clearing at the moment, how much longer would it be before we started seeing footers and (potentially) track? 4
Banding Banshee Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I just left ki. After seeing the new clearing that was done this week and the fact that they were clearing while the park was open today (which i did not see, but heard it was happening) i truly believe this coaster is going to be a monster. I think they will clear much more land. Im thinking this coaster will break records. Whether its a giga, or wing. I dont think it will be a dive machine or one of their flyers. This plot of land doesnt seem like the right type of layout for those. 2
Shaggy Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Eiffel Tower reopened and I went to top. Hard to see from up there all the new clearing they’ve done - especially that out near Beast. FYI, there’s clearing behind The Racer Turnarounds and Action Theater. 8
DeltaFlyer Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Just got off Beast.... can confirm the clearing extends to the brake shed. Maybe ~80 feet out from the left side of it. 6

Footers around the station should be soon. Track won't show up on site until after the ride is announced. So probably August. 4

calakapepe Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I'm convinced it's finally giga time I'm assuming this will mean this is another ride that will have to close during the fireworks then haha. I wonder if they'd ever consider moving that to another plot. Either way, I'm excited for 2020 now. All there's to do for now is enjoy 2019 c: 7
DeltaFlyer Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 9:33pm... still working on the clearing. Why the urgency? 5
Benjamin22 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I can’t be the only one that’s somewhat salty they finally opened wind seeker when it got dark. Can’t see anything to besides them still working. 4
ohiocoasterfan Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 My guess is they’re making up for down time earlier today and yesterday from the rain and don’t want to work over the weekend. 4

Wish there was a heart emoji for messages like this. I’d much rather have a new theme then just a 3rd ride themed to a Beast. Not to mention that the marketing department would never EVER want a ride themed to probably one of the biggest failures in regional theme park history. 6
silver2005 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I'd like to add that to the wish list on a giga for me- - no red anywhere in the color scheme - no numbers in the name - no Beast lineage 6
sixohdieselrage Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Maybe it will be themed to Vortex sinking... 6 2
presto123 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I called all this new clearing way back when:) A monster out and back giga through the woods? The same woods where the legendary Beast night rides take place? Sign me up! 1
KI FANATIC 37 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Oh this is exciting. I am now on the Giga train. Can't wait for this year! 2
MDMC01 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Just caught up on the thread; Based on the amazing news of land clearing, I think I'll be spending some quality time up on the Eiffel Tower tomorrow... 4

A coaster tall enough to be a giga would have to be long enough to go through the woods that boarder the park so yes it’s going to run through there. And I’m shocked to see how close to see the clearing is to The Beast, I think we all saw it going more towards the sob area that farther back. And i hate to disagree again, and I mean be in the minority here, but danget I’d lose my mind over another beast spinoff. I mean we had a special thing with a coaster sequel, why not keep it going. You can’t argue the gp would love that 1

ohiocoasterfan Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Using google measurements and taking it from the end of Firehawk, through the clearing, and halfway on Beasts brake run gets you .36 miles. Fury 325 is a total of .46 miles with the same measuring. We are a tenth of a way of cleared land from fitting a monster Giga in there! 4

Plenty of room here. 1
