Everything is ready to fly for tomorrow night's 10pm announcement.

Nothing special (other than the word "fly" maybe?) but this is from King Island twitter account.

Bats fly :mellow: (They better call it The Bat)

  • 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

Well I also had a fantastic time on here these past few months. I hope everyone feels the same!

These 4 months have probably been my favorite ever here on KIC!

My guess:

B&M Invert

Height 189 FT

Speed: 70

Length around 3,500

Inversions 6

I think it will be fun to play a little game and see who gets the closest. We can look back here in 24hrs and see who's right. The winner might be able to put a little thing in there signature saying they were the winner!

I agree with silver2005 even though I just recently joined I have really enjoyed reading this topic from page one. In the short time I have been here, I have began to recognize some users stand out and make this forum interesting. Whether or not you like B&M or Intamin, Every single person here has made this thread interesting. I thank all of you guys for putting interesting and insightful post on here and hope that everyone feels most of my post in this thread have had some contributions. I plan to be sticking around for a while.

P.s. ki central looks amazing on ipad lol I have never thought to use my ipad for viewing this thread( even though this has nothing to do with the above post)

So do Banshees (well ghosts in movies). :P

Invert. 198 ft. 7 loops.

I think thats about right but I think itll be 200ft.

I'm starting to think this may be the first ever wing inverted. IDK....just a thought.

But that breaks no records.

Looks to me like they built a stage behind the fence near the mysterious "blue thing". That white box truck has been there all day. I'm guessing that that fence will be coming down tomorrow.

I will feel betrayed if the world record is not height, speed, or inversions on said coaster.

If it were an inverted, I believe it would have a skyrush style seating arrangement.

Edit: basically like anaconda and gold reef city with two extra seats

My guess...

Inverted

218 feet tall

200 foot drop

most diving Immelmann loops on a coaster (2)

highest inverted vertical loop (i'm guessing at 170 feet)

fastest inverted at 73 mph

most inversions at 8 (I think the first helix after the last vertical loop actually goes nearly inverted and they will call it an inversion.)

highest capacity of all of the coasters in the park at 2880 per hour.

Length: 4,032 ft Height: 218 ft Drop: 214 ft Inversions: 7 Speed: 78.4 mph Duration: 2:20 Max Vertical Angle: 55.7°

Except for inversion and the length, do these numbers look familiar? :P

What about length or acceleration?

Worlds fastest LSM coaster!! Turbocharged.

I love volcano! so a launched invert sounds great to me! :)

I hope it dives into a trench cause my legs will get ripped off at the bottom of the drop.

I think the length will be average compared to the other inverts, and since this one doesn't appear to have a MCBR, it appears that the block that releases the next train will be in the final break run.

I think it will go about 73 mph....I don't think there are any launching sections, if that is what you are referring to...

It doesn't break any records for height/speed or length. Those aren't the only records it can break.

I'm going to guess tallest full circuit invert at 205 Feet, Fastest invert at 74 Mph, and Most inversions on an Invert (8).

Can't wait for tomorrow, however it plays out, it should be awesome.

I want to be there.

...but Taco Bell needs me tomorrow till about 9:30pm.

See if you can convince them to transfer you to the one by KI :P

That's not purple, that's clearly TARDIS blue right there.

Supporty Forty... timey wimey stuff...

Just tell them you ate some Taco Bell earlier and your having some stomach trouble! Then sneak to KI! :lol:

(Im not promoting skipping work, only for special occasions like this! :P )

I hope it doesn't rip you legs off!!!! But I do think there will be a LOT of g-force through most all of the inversions, except maybe the last two...enough to make your feet throb from the blood rushing to them...LOL

There might be a dive through a trench, but if the blueprints are legit, I think they are going for big loops. The trenches usually come into play when there are close to the ground cork screws....Who knows, I may be totally wrong in my guess....Lets hope it has some good near-miss theming like Montu.

I do think that the plaza is going to include a castle type entrance...Cant wait to find out.....Tomorrow!!! (almost 24 hours till the announcement!!!)

I'll take a shot in the dark for the fun of it:

B&M Invert
140 Feet Tall

60 Miles Per Hour

7 Inversions: Immelmann, Vertical Loop, Batwing, Vertical Loop and Inline Twist (In that order)

3,400 Feet Long

World Record: Something Obscure

I hope it dives into a trench cause my legs will get ripped off at the bottom of the drop.

You body builders will do anything to get out of Leg Day!!
