Starting to Decode 2014

I don't think it's a winged but pay close attention to 2:03:

Interviewer says, "If this were to be a success would you see this as something like that being replicated to other amusement parks in the chain?"

Ouimet says, "Yeah, clearly that's the case..."

What were you expecting him to say? "Nah bro, we'd ignore the success and move on." :rolleyes:

No, I'd expect him to say, "If we see the success that we hope to see out of Gatekeeper, we would consider adding them to other parks." Or something to that effect. He has to be careful with what he says. He's the CEO. Again, there could be more winged coasters on the docket for other properties but for now no means no.

Yeah, I agree, that was my point. People see that the answer to the question wasn't explicitly "no" and assuming it means "yes."

  • 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

Not me. I didn't assume anything. I don't think it's a winged. I just simply wanted to point it out.

Off-topic a little: One question, are the B&M wing coaster restraints the same as their flying coasters? I had no problems on Superman: Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Over Georgia.

Oh, ok. The shoulder restraints just looked familiar from the pics I've seen. But thanks for clearing that up.

Gatekeeper restraints...that's not me by the way.

This is what I'd call excellent themeing. 82sb0009s32sj41l4qns9e.jpg

This is awesome! KI needs some themeing like this and it coincides with all the drains...

Honestly I prefer the old school Raptor restraints over Gatekeeper's restraints, I've been on Gatekeeper 4 times and 3 out of four times I could barely breathe on the brake run...

i cant text it can somebody tell me how to suscribe kiclub i tried texting it didnt work

You can become a KIClub member by texting KIClub to 74674.

When I texted that in, it took 20 minutes for the confirmation text to come through. Give it some time.

Type KIClub to the number provided. You should get a reply from them.

Edit: Don beat me to it. Guess I'm still not fast enough. Lol!

For those of you with issues with wingrider restraints: Before the train is dispatched, hold onto the OTSRs like you're holding onto the chains of a swing. Keep them pushed slightly away from your chest and hold on to them for the entire ride. If I do this I have no discomfort at all, but if I let go or don't hold onto the vest like that, my collarbone really starts to hurt.

Just one snickers bar? Hmmm... a single snickers will only tide me over for the rest of tonight.. so tomorrow we find out!?!

<just joking... laugh now>

Know also that CP PR has said CP is aware of the issue and is pursuing a fix.

How long before the B & M fanboys find a way to blame Intamin for this?

it just says message could not send idk why

That would be a problem with your phone and/or network. Try again later.

No, us B&M fan boys blame Intamin for crappy reliability. (and overturned boats.)

While were on the subject of decoding the various things around the construction site, this owl video came up

Great video, dude! I gotta say I'm LMAO right now at the whole thing, but especially about the "bobbing your head for depth perception" part. I actually tried it, only to further watch the video and find out it doesn't work for humans.

To think I considered myself reasonably intelligent! facepalm-hand-gesture-smiley-emoticon.gi HA! I'm so gullible.

Uh...that video was JUST posted...again.

Hi, Terp!

I know - I know, I know, I know. I saw that a little too late. I'm sorry. Y'all are posting so fast that I'm having trouble keeping up. Plus, I'm a bit slow reading this evening. I keep getting distracted. But hey...I pointed out the time stamp for emphasis. :D

An invert for KI makes the park unique?

I think, as time goes on, the only thing that really makes a park unique these days is either theming - which KI can't do on the scale of Disney - or overall park experience and ambiance. Simply having a giga coaster or Intamin blitz isn't going to do it.

There's a cobra roll (which includes two inversions) at the beginning and the corkscrew at the end. I'm not sure what the third inversion is.

I know someone already posted a video, but I thought maybe it would be nice to post a link to a Google image search of The Joker's Jinx.

Again, I do not think it's a winged.

Just to clarify, I think the interviewer said something else right as Matt started to speak, but it's inaudible. Whatever the interviewer said is what I think Ouimet was referring to when he said "Yeah, clearly that's the case".

At least one member here isn't speculating, nor expectorating.

You know what they say: Those who know don't tell.

That is until its time to do so.
