Benjamin22 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 If they’re going to use a number they’re probably going to use the drop number. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Using the height in the name is an easy marketing technique. Carowinds wanted people to know how tall Fury was so they put 325 in the name. On the other hand Kings Dominion called their coaster Intimidator 305 to distance it from Intimidator from Carowinds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not your fault in any way, I know these were taken from the blueprints. It's just makes me feel like it's a taller Diamondback.

I made the first turn too high, about 20 feet more than it’s supposed to be. [EDIT] Fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 If this is the layout, it’s less inspired than Diamondbacks out and back layout. If they are going to have two B&Ms, they should give them more distinction than height. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I mean, there are a lot more unique elements in this layout with more emphasis on turns and a drop that uses the terrain... but yeah, less inspired than and very similar a standard B&M hyper, composed strictly of airtime hills, a hammerhead turnaround, two helixes, and a splashdownSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 After looking at all the ride pdf files and blueprints I have one major question. What DON'T we know? I know its a dumb question but it seems like we've found out a lot in these past few weeks. We don't know the final info like official height, speed, name, colors, etc but what other factors of this ride can be out of our reach as of now? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will probably be the steepest B&M giga and will either have an 82 or 85 degree drop, but who knows at this point.

Tien Shinhan Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Just caught up. Things I've noticed: 1. Some people saying that detractors of the layout "shouldn't judge early" only to say the layout looks great themselves. (Therefore judging it and being a hypocrite) 2. A few pages ago some people mentioned a boycott from said detractors, but I haven't noticed even the most emotional of detractors calling for a boycott of KI. Now as much as I don't like some of the people complaining about the new layout, I also can't get behind the "Shut up and be grateful" argument for obvious reasons that have already been stated. I also can't get behind the "Don't ride it so there's less people in line" argument, because I actually want people too ride this ride so they can see maybe it isn't all bad. Just my observations and thoughts on what went down a few pages back. I don't have anything against anyone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we basically decoded the entire project at this point it's not too surprising. This place got insane amounts of traffic when new documents were posted. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCoaster25 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Not to add yet another NL2 rendition into the mix lol, but after building the track layout myself, I honestly see this as potentially being one of the more forceful gigas (for B&M standards anyways). I've got the train hitting the brake run at around 40 mph, and each of the hills are pulling as much as -0.3 Gs. Plus, short as it may be, it seems to have a better flow than Leviathan in my opinion. Also it'll look absolutely gigantic in its location. Track layout is finished. I'll post some screenshots when I finish the supports. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 What do you think they are saving the big clearing over by Banshee for? The could have easily put the lift hill there more towards front of park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect something similar to Twisted Timbers. The good news is that TT is an awesome ride. Some people I've talked to like it better than SV. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Was decoding always this easy? I was here for decoding 2014 and there were huge debates about what the ride was going to be up to the announcement date. I was also around here for Decoding 2017 and there were still giant debates on elements and such up until the actual announcement of the ride. Have we just gotten better decoding things? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
