July 1, 201610 yr He'll be out of high school before the next thing headed for KI is built at that plant.
July 1, 201610 yr Boy, the comments on WCPO's Facebook page are REALLY outlandish. They're saying that the train op told them the ride is going to be named Son of Beast. Lol!!!![emoji38]The train ops have been known to jokingly tell people that they were rebuilding Son of Beast. This is why spieling must go.
July 1, 201610 yr I try to tune out the comedy skits on the train but it's hard when it's so loud. "I tell ya.... I get no respect" http://images.hngn.com/data/images/full/15882/rodney-dangerfield.jpg
July 1, 201610 yr A lot of times, I can't hear what's being said, and when I do, they're just spewing old news, or nonsense. Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk

July 1, 201610 yr Last weekend, The Bat spieler kept saying "You don't have to take your hat or sunglasses off, 'cause they're not going anywhere." I was like, "What kind of nonsense is that on a coaster that goes 51 MPH!?!" When I returned (at the end of that particular ride cycle) I could hear him saying "You can carry your loose items with you because The Bat does not go upside-down." I'd like to see the manual on what instructions to give riders of The Bat...
July 1, 201610 yr I've ridden Banshee, Diamondback, and Fury, I love those rides, but every other B&M is just ehhhh, I have my opinions, you have yoursSo you've ridden every B&M? Man, i'm impressed. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
July 1, 201610 yr I'd be more jealous than impressed [emoji14]It was sarcasm, because he said /every/ B&M other than those 3 is "ehhh" when there's no way he has ridden /every/ B&M. I'd be more jealous than impressed [emoji14] Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
July 1, 201610 yr going back to what i said about the name of World of Fun's coaster... completely forgot KI's theater is called Timberwolf so clearly the new ride wont be that
July 1, 201610 yr Out of sheer curiosity, since this new ride will be in Rivertown, is there any remote possibility it could be a new water coaster/flume hybrid, similar to Poseidon or Skatteøen, only longer?
July 1, 201610 yr Unless..... There are plans to rename the amphitheater. Then Timberwolf could be reused as a coaster name. Way back in the beginning more than 100 pages ago, Greg Scheid said something interesting.... Wish I could recall ... It dealt with thinking out of the box, and I wonder if it applies to this new attraction somehow.

July 1, 201610 yr No... what in those plans would remotely indicate anything other than a coaster? Oh I'm sure it has nothing to do with the box, but maybe his statement which was so random and unusual that it might apply maybe just a smidgeon to this attraction.
July 2, 201610 yr How about Lorax vs Thneed for a name? Lol jk, due to downing trees. Sent from my XT1526 using Tapatalk Just catching up on this thread and this made *me* laugh. I speak for the trees because the trees have no tongues....Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk

Probably just a not so subtle hint to the people who thought they were going to put a dark ride in the Crypt building.
July 2, 201610 yr No... what in those plans would remotely indicate anything other than a coaster? Just something I'm throwing out there. We really don't see much detail in those plans, other than an overhead layout, coordinates for some footers, and some detailed schematics for supports. But Poseidon and Skatteøen are both coasters. The difference is they float to the lifthill and splash down into water like a log flume at the end of the ride. The bulk of the ride consists of steel track like a regular coaster.
July 2, 201610 yr ^ No, Intamin makes Aquatrax. Poseidon is a Mack ride, and actually spashes down into the water. I don't think Aquatrax does that.
July 2, 201610 yr The post detail pretty much shows that its going to be a wood frame. It it was steel, they would do a bolt pattern and have the support post have a welded flange that went down over the bolts. These show a bracket that attaches to the footer then bolts through a rectangular post. No reason to do that with steel. That doesn't mean there won't be some steel supports, but looking at GCI's, I'd doubt it.
July 2, 201610 yr I can't wait for this thing! This is looking like what what I've been wanting since Diamondback.
July 2, 201610 yr Looking at photos of several RMC coasters and the detail plans on the foots from the new coaster I'm thinking it's going to be a RMC. Maybe something like Lighting Rod but who knows for sure. The real question is how much money are they putting into it. If we knew that then we could have a better idea of what we are getting.
