fryoj Posted May 9, 2019 Author Posted May 9, 2019 Were better versions of the Mason plans posted? I grabbed the initial ones but when I try to zoom in and read things, it's just a blur. If anyone else goes to the city to get plans, ask for them to be emailed. You get high res pdf's that way ;-) 4

silver2005 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I just looked at some old B&M track labels online from past decoding efforts on other sites- WI is wing coaster, SC is sitting coaster (floorless) and LC is laying coaster (flying). 5 2
Imaniixo Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 I wouldn’t be surprised if they went a couple degrees steeper than the other two B&M giga’s, as it would give them more room to make it taller. 4

It got lost in the shuffle with the troll posting the layout, but someone did post clearer shots after they were asked. They’re the ones I used to make my calcs. I will try to find them again and do direct links... not on this post tho because it will probably be buried by the time I find them smh 2

Hmm, I thought the pdf someone posted yesterday or early today about what info they have to provide for requests said you could. Maybe that was Warren county and not Mason. 1

Magenta Lizard Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 So, this post has a good copy of the page with all the footings labeled if you click on the image and scroll in: and this is a clear posting of all the coordinate data for those footings: 3 1

I just wanted the documents! Oh, no doubt. You did the right thing. On the length of the coaster.... I used google earth and used their measurement tool to measure the ride path. The leak today was ~4600 ft. Diamondback was also ~4600 ft. A lot of odd choices here. 2

Bansheelover Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 To all those complaining it might be as big as you want please don’t ride it, so I don’t have to wait in a line. Thanks. Thank you to whoever went and got the prints this is an exciting time! 10

Like the shortest giga ever built. No idea what to think to be honest. It was said like 40 pages ago that they would do clearing in stages. All I can think is this was an intentional leak and a distraction. We can expect to see footers in about 2 weeks and more clearing in about a month 2
Benjamin22 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Didn’t think I’d see the day when Kings Island finally gets a giga coaster and then no one wants it. I agree it looks short but it appears we’re going to see a bunch of airtime hills. 6 2

kissfan4 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Should probably check for more filed plans in about a week or 2. 3
fryoj Posted May 9, 2019 Author Posted May 9, 2019 Looking at the footer data. The station footers are at 741 ft and the footers at the first drop are 750 ft. That means that the drop height will probably be shorter than the lift height. lol 2
thoe124 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Quick sketch of what said layout could realistically be If it is this short, it looks like they have the opportunity to at least make that turnaround into an absolutely sickening wave turn 9 2
presto123 Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 This would be LONG for a Kingda Ka, TTD type of coaster. Just sayin....... (I know blueprints don't support that......haha) 4 1
TombRaiderFTW Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Back in my day, we enjoyed what the park gave us as they gave us it and speculated from there. I'm curious to see how the early emergence of public details on this one will affect future plans. It kinda feels like we're exploiting a special privilege here? Maybe that's just me? Some of you are giving me some vibes that you'll actually boo aloud at the announcement if this isn't exactly what you want. Please don't. "Decoding" threads are always my least favorite threads here. Always. I'm outie on this one. Later, taters. 10 3
