Currently in Lichtenfels, Germany and I'm setting an alarm for 04:00 tonight. I was disappointed because for me, 10:00 PM was almost 3 hours ago. Oh well only 3 hours left...

Don said this is going to take up 13 acres. Still think it's gonna be small??

13 acres out of 364...Beast takes up 35 acres...so, about 1/3 the space of The Beast.

Not all that big, in comparison to a record breaking woodie, but big.

Would stay in line with the current thinking, 4,000-5,000 feet in length.

Bigger, as in taller, or longer? Better than 5282 feet, and/or 230 feet high would be great!

Diamondback is a little over a mile long and fits in a 10 acre plot of land. I think it's perfectly reasonable to speculate a coaster well over 5,000 feet.

I think he means bigger as in a longer line.

He wouldn't answer that yet lol. He was questioned about the elevation change from top of the hill to bottom of the hill by the SoB station and he said that will be answered tonight. He also said we are way off, if you put everyone's guesses together we haven't gotten every detail right. I don't know what to think anymore lol

My my... let's see how far down this rabbit hole we shall go...

We've gone pretty far.

When did Don say that?...

Now I'm really excited. Surely the area with footers on it now is not 35 acres. Is there more that hasn't been started yet?

I meant 13. Sorry.

I didn't edit it because I'm on mobile.

That is great news. I hope we are all surprised, in a good way.

I don't think that they would go thru all this hype to build a dud. A TON of work has gone into just todays festivities.

Can't wait!

They did the private VIP construction tour.

What if they had Banshees screaming through the entire duration of the ride? That would be torture.

Some activity on the webcam

Well that proves that he has been watching this thread... And probably messing with us

At the VIP/Media construction tour that we went to. Malem, Ryan, and others will vouch

Fog beginning to spread.... Near the restrooms....

Plus isn't some of the construction site used as access points for workers. I would hate to be a worker having to walk across a park to a construction site being interrogated by the Dipping Dots vendor. JK

And more fog spreading....

With less than 3 hours to go, and 445 pages of more-or-less junk to go through, here's some of my favorite parts of this thread (from about the 50 pages I've actually seen)...

1) People REALLY love Don. Even when he quite literally does nothing at all, it's the most genius PR move in the world. Don't get me wrong, Don does a great job. But let's be real... all he's doing is a) not telling anyone what it is, and b. giving some subtle hints which may or may not be true.

2) Despite zero announcements being made, it was a PROVEN FACT even last week that it was an invert. *sigh*

3) Parking in a random parking lot can create some incredible/hilarious uproar around here.

-Dvo, grabbing popcorn and going into hiding

It's the most wonderful tiiiiiiiiime of the yearrrrrr...

For the record, walking through an amusement park at night that is absolutely covered with fog is an amazing experience.

Watching Penn State beat up on Ohio State on the big screen they used to have at Cedar Point that same night wasn't an amazing experience.

I wonder if this thread will close tonight? really don't want it to!

Thankful for those in attendance that are taking time out of their day to update us. You could've just left us in the dust and ran off to some rides.

And more fog spreading....

Nothing to worry about. They're just getting a head start on Haunt.

Dvo,

I think you're missing the point of why people appreciate Don the way they do (myself included, even though I'm rather new). Just the fact that he is active within this site makes members feel involved in their home parks, in my opinion. The reason I joined this site was because I loved reading this thread, and part of the reason that its been so popular is because Don and his team have had excellent hints and diversions that put one blog thread over 13,000 posts and ~650,000 page views. He could just as easily given sparse clues and not interacted with members in this thread, especially following the idiotic incident from last month

You've got to keep in mind, the 2009 Coaster thread (forget what it's called) is long gone - long, long gone.

This thread is here today, and it's gone tomorrow. I'm calling it.

- LordSkippy, the Madcap Laughs and Pet Sounds on his mind.

Shoo, just in a matter of time.

2.5 hours to go untill we find out but, wasnt KIC community promised to know first?
