Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 **DOUBLE POST** I rode blue Racer and it seems like they already have a ton of footers dug out. I saw it on the turnaround. 2
Maverick44 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 I know King's Dominion had something of a landing pad near FoF. I do not remember KI having anything like that. 1
thatguyfromohio Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 I know King's Dominion had something of a landing pad near FoF. I do not remember KI having anything like that. They had a run way and a real landing pad. They use to have helicopters tours at Kings IslandSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

Maverick44 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 There it is lol Its been so long I forgot that was there. 1
collin.klopfstein Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 You guys will have a track update in about an hour from me, unless you guys don’t care? 3
Bansheeback Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted this on the other topic but I thought it should be shared here as well for folks who wanted updates!I was able to get some pictures from CSF to share with y’all.Hershey Track has been loaded on trailers and is ready to leave, I assume they’re running out of space at this point.There are massive amounts of track sitting farther back on the property that are mostly out of view.The front looks mostly the same.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 3
Maverick44 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Thank you for the update. The HershPark coaster its more then likely getting ready to go vertical. They announce the coaster is a couple days so that may be why as well. 3

Maverick44 Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 I stand corrected lol it is already vertical so this is why they need that track. They are getting a head start on winter!
collin.klopfstein Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Talking about teasers , I agree that local news channels are gonna get the first teasers, like when Diamondback starting teasing one of the first teasers was a giant bolt sent to wlwt , source: 4

Note: this was made by me and not by the park so this is NOT me trolling like other people have done. When I first saw this, my brain autocorrected and I saw the Cedar Point logo where the KI one is (as it reminds me of Millennium Force). I really hope the announcement video takes some cues from Millennium Force’s video... Also, Banshee’s announcement was on a Thursday; I know this because I wasn’t there. I was instead was fulfilling another commitment that just so happened to be on Thursdays. 2
DustinTheNow Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Does anyone have links to the construction forum link? 1
collin.klopfstein Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Can someone pm me or post a link to a full set of the blueprints ? 1

Bansheeback Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 A side note: here are some statistics from the links to the documents! The top referrers to the link are KI Central (Obviously) and Facebook. I'm not sure where the link is posted there. Most of the views are coming from the US, but people from Canada and Germany have also clicked on the link! All in all about 1000 people have viewed the blueprints thus far. As a favor, I'd appreciate it if people shared the blueprints using the bit.ly links. This way we can see how popular the documents are and track where they've been coming from. It makes for some interesting results, and makes sure that I receive credit for getting these! 2
collin.klopfstein Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 And for any odd reason someone thinks this isn’t a giga, here it shows how many seats there are on the train, credit goes to Bansheeback 2

collin.klopfstein Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Quick question, is there any telling on the blueprints if there is going to be an entrance sign ? If there is I really hope it’s like Banshees!

If there is I really hope it’s like Banshees! things like that usually appear in building permits in a later date, after they get a design of the sign. Sometimes the name isn’t even decided before track shows upSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

And so does GateKeeper. And Banshee. And most B&M's. It think about all of their 4 wides have 8 cars of 4. 12 minutes ago, collin.klopfstein said: Quick question, is there any telling on the blueprints if there is going to be an entrance sign ?
