I will ask him if he has seen any track!! Most likely the track is hidden from us because 2 days ago station track on a trailer was delivered to Kings Island 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodistict Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm very excited! I'm pretty sure this is for Kings Island, if it isn't I wonder where else this track could go? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutterie Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I don't know if this has been said yet, but we can probably expect something unique with this coaster.

Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Maybe a themed tunnel at the first drop. Not just a tunnel that you go through like Leviathan, but a tunnel with theming. Maybe fog or a light effect simulating traveling through space. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing doesn't have to break any records to be just that. I doubt CF, KI or B&M are going to disappoint. That said, I'm not counting anything out at this point. Way too many unknowns. As well as too many wierd things with this whole teasing campaign. Like I've said before. I have serious doubts that anyone involved with the park would just miss that many "mistakes". Not on what could be the biggest investment this park has ever made. Could just be trolling to throw everyone of but I'd bet that they all mean something. 7 days, 6 hours and 1 min as of typing this... lol Lol I'm dumb, I first read this as '7 days, 6 hours, and 1 minute of typing this'. I was gonna say, that's a heavy contemplated response! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I really think that if Kings Island doesn't do a tunnel at the bottom of the first drop, they will be missing out. A tunnel would be perfect for a space like/ sci-fi themed coaster. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt making a tunnel be heard because almost at the end of the ride you have that head chopper moment under the drop coming out of the helix?

BeeastFarmer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I think they should do 4 tunnels. And at the end of the ride, a 540 degree double helix. And this ride should cover over 30 acres with the terrain heavily influencing it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Maybe they could do 3 tunnels similar to The Beast. And again with the helix, similar to The Beast also. It could have a tunnel around the helix, and again, like The Beast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking after that. It would be at the very bottom of the drop pullout (similar to Leviathan). The headchopper moment is at the beginning of the pullout. Also, it would be nice to have multiple tunnels, but I'm not so sure if we'll see more than one or two. My vote for two tunnels would be 1) bottom of drop pullout and 2) bottom of helix that goes under drop. Another idea I've had is at the bottom of the turnaround where you spiral down into the tunnel. That would be fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocoasterfan Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I like the idea of themeing this toward an Event Horizon. The bottom of the first drop could be a black hole (tunnel) and you exit into a different world. Then at the bottom of the large airtime hill you go back through a black hole (tunnel) and you are at Kings Island. I like the name Event Horizon or just Horizon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatchesC Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Just out of curiosity why are some lines dotted on the track itself vs solid? I know what blueprint wise it means hidden/not visible from the current plane. But is this a rule being followed here? Just seems odd to do some portions solid but other not. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a look at that myself and it looks like a huge swath of track has the dotted line. I can't imagine all of that being under ground, especially with all of the footers that have been put in recently. So I'm not sure myself, but it given what I just shared it probably doesn't indicated that all of the track with those dotted lines will be under ground. As cool as that would be. Now I did happen to noticed that another section of track had dashed lines, and that segment is very short. It's right at the end of the helix and before it goes into that last hill and on to the break run. I wonder if that could possibly be a tunnel... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I looked at the MT leaked layout and it doesn't have the tunnel listed on the turnaround. So an above ground tunnel isn't out of the question right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
