Logan Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Probably August, like they did for Mystic Timbers I believe. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Late July early August. Anytime from like July 25th to like August 15th I'd say. Total guess though. ^MT was announced July 28th, and Diamondback August 6th 2008 I believe Edited May 19, 2019 by KI FANATIC 37 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 August. I've haven't been to the park yet this season but from what I heard there are no teasers or posters similar to what we saw with Diamondback, Banshee and Mystic Timbers' construction. It's almost like the park itself isn't acknowledging what's happening. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondBanshee Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 This reminds me of a major project just a few hours north of here. The first year of construction, the park acted like there was nothing happening. It wasn’t until fall that they finally acknowledged something was going on, and they still had over a year until it was complete. I’m not saying or implying anything, just some food for thought.

Also they are still not “completely open” yet, there are shows that have not started, the fountains are said to not be completely operational. They still have these things to work on/promote for 2019. I would say teasers go up before June, still have a week and a half, and footings start being poured the first week of June. Just my perspective. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 There’s really not much difference between 305 and 325. I’m stoked, regardless. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixohdieselrage Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I think the next offseason will be fun. Get to fly around and see the construction from another angle. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part thats kinda a bummer to me is ( based on others guestimates ) our giga will be over 1000' shorter in length.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivertown Rider Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I agree with others, the construction is much bigger at ground level than what it appears from the Tower and Racer. The ravines are much steeper than they look from above. If they use the terrain appropriately we are going to have a special ride. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 What would you say the elevation change is from the top to the bottom of the ravine? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I’m team X-base expansion w/ winged coaster. The argument that GateKeeper is overtly expensive is true, but most forget that GateKeeper’s price tag also included an entirely brand new main entrance into CP. KI could get a winged coaster roughly 15mil as an anchor for the new expansion. X-Flight was roughly 12-15mil when it was built in Six Flags Great America. A similar coaster would be fitting for an x-base expansion. Add restrooms, a flat ride like a gerstlauer sky roller. A lot of those buildings could be hidden in plain sight if the exteriors are re-themed. Military bases have warehouses. Slap an Area 18 logo on that water storage tank (Plays off the hanger 18 from FoF) as a centerpiece to the area. That way we can party likes it 1999 because this expansion would be much like how Action Zone came about. 1 coaster, 1 flat, and a water tower for a centerpiece. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 We already know it's going to be a giga or very tall hyper. I also think a wing-rider is the last thing we need. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocoasterfan Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 This is precisely why I’ve been predicting a 320 plus drop which would break Fury’s record. Each one of those lines is 10 feet. There is a 40 to 50 foot height drop from the Firehawk cleared area. 305 height 325 plus drop is my prediction and will be a world record holder. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Wow if I'm reading that correctly it could even be a 350 foot drop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Just catching up... Yeesh. This is getting almost as bad as Decoding 2014 where people were still thinking it was an Intamin Giga after the footers for an invert were already poured. The denial game is strong here. There is ZERO chance that work between FOF and Racer is part of the coaster's station or storage shed. ZERO. It looks like the start of a pole barn to me. Similar to what they built out by the boneyard. It could be a metal building, but whether they set poles next or pour the floor will answer that. But no, it's not part of the coaster. 5 hours ago, Logan said: Where is the valley that I keep seeing posted? There it is.... The peak of the lift will be close to that tree by the buildings. It will come towards the camera that took the pic. It looks like the pic was taken a little to the left of where the peak of the second hill is going to be. It will cross the "ravine" somewhere between those two points. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his video, an engineer friend of his made this based on the leaked layout.

SonofBaconator Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 A lot of renderings and concepts show that the coaster will have a steep drop but is it possible to go 90°? Is there anything in the blue prints that would say that a 90° drop is out of the question? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
