July 22, 200818 yr Clearly by the link on the KI website it's going to be Tremors: The Ride. Tremors?
July 22, 200818 yr Ahhhhh...one of the finest wooden coasters ever built...nah, it won't be Tremors..especially after Paramount Parks had to threaten litigation to get Timber Terror named what it now is...not Grizzly.
July 22, 200818 yr So if it was INTAMIN, it'd have OTSR's? Really? See Millennium Force... Not if you were an older Intamin, than you would have lap bars. The newer Intamin's have OTSR's.
July 22, 200818 yr Do believe the "Mustang" name rumor can be forgotten about. Wonder if thats the same box SOB was locked up in? lol

July 22, 200818 yr Yes, really, in the USA, if they have inversions....as for USA non-rocket coasters without inversions, that remains to be seen...

July 23, 200818 yr I think that the park should set up more of a display with a big countdown clock at the Construction Site where the Signs are now. That will really get people interested for next year even if they don't know about the B&M. 100th Post!

July 23, 200818 yr What? You don't think it will open with the park next season? Terpy, snickering...
July 23, 200818 yr What? You don't think it will open with the park next season? Terpy, snickering... I think it'll open Memorial Day Weekend, i want it to open along with the park though.
July 23, 200818 yr It's a construction project. Planned dates sometimes slip. So, who knows? No one. Who can, with absolute certainty, predict the weather, unforeseen circumstances, etc.?
July 23, 200818 yr Alrighty kids! Here's 18 pictures from today around the construction sites: http://picasaweb.google.com/kwelch/20080722 I'm very sorry about the poor quality. I wish the iPhone had a zoom. I also wish I had my regular Canon 40D with me. You've seen the track and the concrete enough so here are two other gems: A crane already backstage at the park. A truck on I-71 that might be carrying some of the supports. After leaving KI today, I got stuck in traffic on I-71 South around the Mason-Montgomery/Fields Ertel area. I saw two or maybe three flatbed trucks headed north on the highway with what were no doubt support pieces for the new coaster. Alas, I was unable to get my iPhone out to snap a picture of the trucks.
July 23, 200818 yr And now there's a crane, Yes, that's a crane... Soon it'll be next year! Thank you for your.....support.
July 23, 200818 yr Those look like they could be the supports! It goes with the color of the track!! One of the flatbeds I saw going north on I-71 had a very large support piece. It looked like it might have been near the width of a cell phone tower. It's color matched that of the steel on the truck I posted. One of the other flatbeds contained more pieces like what is on the left side of this picture:
July 23, 200818 yr I bet you'd say that if it were hot pink and lime green, though! Whats wrong with hot pink and lime green? 800
July 23, 200818 yr It'd look a wee bit loud back by The Beast, doncha think? It shouldn't be too bad since B&Ms are known for bring smooth and quiet
July 23, 200818 yr ...especially if the rails are filled with sand, like Talon or Alpengeist! Terpy, dodgin'
