LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 It's basically the symbol for Polaris. Edit: Seems too obvious. I think someone's trolling and it'll be something else. No way they'd let the cat out of the bag with THAT. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fye Coasters Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The name will be Shooting Star lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 My guess on all the naming would be Flight of Fear is renamed Orion and the new coaster will be named Polaris with a change in theme for both to becoming more of a space travel rather than extra terrestrial theme with some tie back to the importance of space travel for Ohio. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Dayton does have Wright Patterson Air Force Base. That is were the original Project Blue Book was. I can see it being tied back to Ohio. Edit* Also Neil Armstrong lived in Cincinnati. We have our Space roots here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny1388 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 My first post here in ages. Been lurking on this thread every now and then. I'm excited for the announcement, but people commenting on names they hate...remember the reaction to the name Mystic Timbers? It wasn't great. We all kinda came to terms with it and we're fine... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be amazing. There's so much you could do with Flight of Fear's indoor queue area to fit the theme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Yessss vertical will start very soon! They also may need Clifford. I am not sure if there will be parts when 2 cranes are needed like Valravn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty big but I think the two they have there now are the small ones. I can't wait to see the massive cranes they use for topping of the lift hill / drop 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As pictured thats a truck crane which im sure they will use to get a start on the lower to the ground construction, I.E. see amusement insiders updates on Yukon, This truck crane will be used to build the tower crane we saw delivered earlier, they will most likely have a third tower crane on the way for the very tall portions as the current tower crane doesn't seem like its capable, unless its a modular and they havent sent the rest of the tower pieces to reach that height as they arent needed just yet Edited August 15, 2019 by Bwb.32 added another bit to avoid a double post 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
