  • Well its been a fun one.. So long Starting to Decode 2014!

  • You know, I chuckle at this thread. The more I read it... which is pretty much daily now... the more I become amused. Why? It's a near carbon copy of about a dozen other threads related to KI throu

    For those waiting for when we'll announce what we're building for the future, you might want to grab yourself a Snickers bar. It's going to be awhile. We still have the majority of the 2013 season

Wt used to go higher but not as high for years. When it was new it came close to the top of the spike.

7 owls (not fir sure if some said that

What are you saying here?

7 owls (not fir sure if some said that

Number of inversion?

I think he's referring to the number of owls management has place around the construction area and fence.

I was there I counted the owls!

I think he was just pointing out the fact that there were 7 owls.

I am offended !! I am a girl

Sorry. I didn't realize that. I now see that your profile says that, but I didn't take the time to look. My mistake.

Could the number of owls correspond to the number of inversions our invert will have?

You know what that would make total sense

Thinking about it even being on millennium and maverick I think inverts are overall more thrilling

Here's something I came up with. It might be somewhat outlandish, but I wanted to try and do my best at the decoding. Let's assume that we might (not ARE) get a B&M inverted coaster. Each of these clues represents one of the B&M inverted coasters at a Cedar Fair park (except for Silver Bullet because I had nothing on it).

Cedar Fair B&M Inverted Coasters/Possible Clues

Raptor – Cedar Point/Owl Prop (an owl is a bird of prey called a raptor)

Talon – Dorney Park/Owl Prop (owls use their talons to catch its prey)

Afterburn – Carrowinds/Don’s “How about a little fire, Scarecrow?” Tweet. (Fire=burn)

Patriot – Worlds of Fun/ Don quoting Steve Miller Band’s “Fly like an Eagle” (Patriot’s logo has an eagle)

Silver Bullet - Knott’s Berry Farm/This one I don't know. Has Don Tweeted a Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band song?

Flight Deck – California’s Great America/ “No Camping” (as in military boot camp) signs have a stenciled font (very military-ish) and Don’s “A Few Good Men” movie quote.

Other Decoding Theories

The 7 owls could represent 7 inversions?

What do you guys think?

You guys got me really wanting an invert now

I started out wanting an intamin giga, then B&M giga. Now I want a hyper invert with at least 7 invertions.

Wow that's really something. I'm thinking about the missing tweet/quote...let you know.

Thats some very good decoding i think you might be going somewhere with this one!

<----Very dissapointed.

One less person in line woo! If it's an invert, I'll plan to ride 2-3 times a trip. Like Diamondback. Because what other ride is worth riding 2-3 times other time FoF/Beast/TopGun-Flight Deck?

Might be dumb, new here to KICentral but not new to KI at all. Any chance of two rollercoasters going in to shock everyone?

Everything except the inversions:owls seems a little bit of a stretch.

At first I wasn't really excited about an invert going in. But after going through a few pages, I'm really excited for one. (If this is truly an invert.)

Adventure Express. A marathon-worthy mine train if there ever was one.

Too many people on this board are biased in opinion when you talk about the age-old B&M vs Intamin debate. Intaminallday, judging by your username, I can tell you're thinking about what you want, not what the park needs. The park does need an invert, in my eyes at least. We need a good, solid inverting coaster with a great capacity, and an invert is one of the best ways to go. You talk about the designs being "outdated" and "gimmicky," but you fail to explain why every model continues to draw huge crowds. Why does Raptor have one of the longest lines throughout the day at Cedar Point?

Because it's overrated.

I rarely ride Raptor... it is terrible and just gives out headaches, give me MF, Mag, Mave, TTD, WT, and GK before i would think about riding Raptor
