DeviousMrMatt Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Pictures don't do this thing justice. I can't wait to see it in person and how massive it is 1

Probably because it’s a really obscure fact that’s hard to market to the general public 1
mikejenkins1 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Went to take picutures yesterday afternoon and yes it is massive. The structure along makes Diamondback feel small. Love the first drop and how it bowls and that will produce some serious speed! 4
flightoffear1996 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Any updates as to the area they are working on next? 2

I’d imagine they will do both sides at same time, extending left to right, because machines will be close together able to hoist without moving them around if I had to guess 1
Klabergian Empire Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 Though I might share this. Anyone think this is alluding to something else? 1

Unless I'm mistaken, they haven't brought that piece of track to IAAPA since 2016 and there's no mention of the ride on their website. Seems like the Raptor track may have replaced it.

The Trex is still in development. RMC stated they are looking at selling some raptors before a Trex. They said it at iappa last year. Source: 3
calakapepe Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 I agree, a steepness mention would've been cool. I also think they shouldn't've given the height of the lift hill. Shouldve just left it at a 300ft drop. Do we know definitively the drop's angle? 2

calakapepe Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Sorry, I should've also asked for how we know this. Did I miss an interview? Edit- but thanks for the number. (Im sure its been said earlier; ive been very busy to read every page) I was able to find a DaytonDailyNews article using the number. Im excited to have a near 90° drop at the park finally! I've always yearned for something truly steep at the park. This counts to me! 3

jbeast Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 I drive past the park to and from work everyday. It's been amazing to watch this coaster being built. That first drop is going to be insane! I got to ride both Fury and Intimidator 305 this past summer. That drop looks comparable to both of those. I'm beyond happy that we have own own 300 foot drop at last! 7

Imperial79 Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 I hope we get to see the 2nd hill done while WinterFest is going on! This is going to look awesome! 1
TheFloppyDisc Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 From looking at the weatherbug this morning I don’t see Zeus... I wonder if he is getting moved or being broken down to be shipped away. 1

Well, short of Kings Island hanging a giant shroud over the lift hill/drop, you should be able to see it during Winterfest.
