Wolf Like Me Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hard to believe people are asking for credit for screenshots of videos that aren't even theirs. I guess internet points are really important for some people. As for the new teasers, I really wasn't expecting anything new today so this is all very exciting. It definitely seems like they're hinting towards some sort of end of the world meteor disaster being incorporated into the theming, which is what I'd hoped for when the posters were put up. Can't wait to find out how the story plays out. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatchesC Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I just want to see a coaster tall enough to have my 10yo question riding it, Diamondback didn't do it lol. Any chance of a parent swap area in the queue? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT: hoping to make it down on thursday. Exactly! asking credit for a screenshot from another news outlet is a little much. Some ppl think they are the CNN of coasters though, I don't get it. I'm just ready for the announcement so this bickering on here can come to a crawl. People arguing of senseless stuff when we can be talking about the station/queue setup, or if they are gonna go all out and make it a new "plaza" type area. I don't see them putting in just the coaster without some renovations in that area. Its hard to believe, cause Carowinds went all out from what I seen with Copperhead Strike. Some of you seriously need to chill though. I've been on other coaster forums and they are literally laughing at KI and the "fanboys" over this. It's been going on for years with all this "demanding" for a giga and now that it's finally happening most people seem unhappy or are being plain rude to others. I'll be glad when this is over lol and no matter how this ride is you all will be at the park next year. Wait for the announcement and be happy with what your getting whether it's a 296ft lift or a 3xxft lift. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin22 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I mean most people at this point really don’t care about the height as much (It’ll still be somewhat disappointing it’s not 300 ft’ tall) I think most people’s main concern with this ride is how short it is. Yes you won’t notice it’s 25 ft smaller then Fury but what you will notice is how it’s 1,200 ft shorter then Fury 325. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decyferite Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 So after thinking for the last 3 days that we didn't get any photos from the tower of the construction site as I thought the battery went dead on the camera, I went down the tower before my wife could tell me she brought an extra battery, and just telling me tonight she got photos, I'm going to post what she shot on Saturday. Wasn't much going on, but on some she could get pretty close... Also adding DB splashdown from the tower lol 15 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryoj Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 3 hours ago, CubicleDave said: That's kind of what I am starting to think. Maybe the height people are concerned about is merely above ground, and the first drop goes 10-20 feet below ground (or more) and we end up with a 300+ foot drop. There's not a tunnel. We have blueprints. Theres no tunnel. We have pictures of the site. They aren't digging a tunnel and they have footers matching the blueprints where a tunnel would have to go. Even if they were going to do some mythical fake blueprints, they would have had to already dug the tunnel and poured it to have time to get everything done in the right order. We have a 300+ foot drop already, so be happy with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Nope I didn't. John Matarese already has a report out today on CSF. I'm going to try and slow down on messaging him because it seems like you guys don't like me doing it. I don't want to bother him too much. In fact, I try to wait for him to respond before I message him. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get it you’ve stated your point and you’re almost 100% right, but the announcement is in three days let people have fun imagining what they want while the can. There’s no use in you getting ****ed and constantly correcting people. It’s all good, and just as you’ve said “be happy with that” I can tell you the same, be happy with people having their dreams about this coaster. We only have 3 days left to speculate and dream then will know for sure what the potentially biggest and most expensive addition we’ll ever have actually is.

B&M gets most of that money. They are getting paid the going rate for metal fab. They don't design the pieces. No one is backing their F150 onto the lot and loading up a piece of track. They aren't putting up a fence to keep teens from taking pictures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decyferite Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 So since I haven't been here through discussions on a new coaster/project does the decoding thread stop after Thursday and a new thread start or does it just continue here? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Wow, lots to catch up on here since the new teasers got out! First, the teasers look interesting… maybe the whole crater thing is saying that the drop will be longer than the lift height is tall. Also, I’m thinking this will be a heck of a night ride! Second re: the whole “there’s more to this…” talk going on, even though it would be insanely awesome if there is something they are not telling us and this ride blows us all away with something unexpected (like the first time I saw the Storm Runner POV as a kid or when Steel Vengeance was announced) I’m keeping an open mind and waiting for Thursday. Also, Polorion actually sounds like a really cool name. And why would anyone want one of those unibrow disguises? Third, speaking of Y2K, I plan on wearing my “Y2K Survivor” shirt on Thursday in honor of the announcement. Fourth, @Jallie79 your comment makes me think of how IGN rated ORAS (Pokemon game) when it game out… 8/10 for having too much water! Finally, let’s just enjoy the ride- we’ve got three more days until the announcement and then National Roller Coaster Day is the very next day! It’s like a mini-holiday weekend [insert Kermit yay meme] 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
