  • 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

I don't understand what they mean...leaves riders hanging off the side of the track?

Well 4 loops 1 corkscrew , cart that leaves rider on the edge if the track( wing rider) also one and four in the country

They said "at least" four loops....but don't forget they said that Diamondback had two loops....

Oh no they think it is a wing rider

The blue prints look spotted on to the ones in YouTube. The brought to the GM when Kings Island was first built

Well....you cant tell from the blue prints if it is a wingrider....pretty sure that they were only guessing since no official word was coming from Kings Island. Also, inverts leave a row of 4 riders hanging from the edge of the track too.

When the media refers to loops, it could mean anything. In fact, my science teacher two years ago thought the turns on the roller coaster in my science fair project were considered loops!

Guys I'm telling you those helixes are not helixes but inclined loops

I will find the video and posted it

^ Like my science teacher two years ago - my science project was on roller coasters and she thought that a turn was considered a loop!

On the Mindbender at SFOG, a turn IS a loop. ;-)

Haha Kings Island Central was on WLWT!

They even used our term "decode".

Based on the blue prints, it does not look longer than Montu.

The record they may indeed be going for here is height.

Thats her favorite coaster :)

I really couldn't either I was taking notes while watching so sorry my grammar

They only need a little over 4k' of track to set the record. It is possible.

SOB was 7K long.

I remember when it was advertised as the world first (and I believe this to be true) inverted loop (or such)....That was a corny way to pull out a world record....LOL

There are more than four wing coasters in the world. I see a problem.

Edit: Nevermind they said country. Sorry!!!

But there are more than 4 wing coasters.

In the country

All I can name is

X-flight

Gatekeeper(best one in my view)

Wild Eagle ( I rode but hated)

Also the blue prints in the video don't appear to have a midcourse break run....do you think this might mean 2 train operation?
