July 25, 201610 yr Mr. Helbig is going to shock the world and announce an intamin pre fabricated woodie. After hyping the investments of over 20 million per ride on Banshee and diamond back it will make sense to spend over 20 million on a woody. Wouldn't mind that at all! but......I doubt it will. El Chupacabra?
July 25, 201610 yr I figured someone would have posted this by now. Sent from my iOS 10 device Cowboy Coaster is back in the mix! Rabid Teddy Bear Cowboy Coaster! Smash all those clues into a great big ole Dagwood Sandwich!
July 25, 201610 yr Does anyone think they may use the crypt building for this? Maybe?? I know they are keeping wood over there. More then likely just trying to keep it behind the fence. Maybe the queue will go through it and the coaster will run through it. That would be cool to see a wooden coaster go into a building and come out. Just a thought.....doubtful but just thinking.

Well, only if you assume that the plans that the park submitted to the city are fake.

I hope they keep the webcam on the construction all winter long. Watching Valravn being built was awesome!
July 25, 201610 yr I guess the teaser posts about RMC on KI snapchat mean nothing. The executives meeting with RMC last year was just to compare carpet samples. I think the big game changer that KI is known for will be the introduction of RMC to CF. I'm sure their combined force will kick off with a BANG! *Insert: Project2017* I really believe that RMC reference, "Yo Adrian!' snapchat was to throw us off. KI has been known to do it. They like to keep us guessing. I am hoping for an RMC, but I think this is GCI all the way. I will be very surprised if it is a RMC.
July 25, 201610 yr It took me like 3 hours to catch up on all the posts over the weekend. Did everyone go to a different thread? Haha seems really slow at the moment.
July 25, 201610 yr I'm torn about possibly bowing out of this thread. KI has done a great job at keeping the lid on this project this time, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that info could leak out. I want to be totally surprised on Thursday night. Hmmmmm.....
July 25, 201610 yr What if KI payed homage to KCKC in the name? Kenton's Cove Coaster Kenton's Timber Coaster Kenton's Lumber Run Something along those lines?
July 25, 201610 yr They're surveying and adding more markers to the path wandering behind the train station. It's looking more like a turn around here. As close up as I could get of one of the markers 5' off 101A left/ 10' off 102A CTR possibly? lol looks big enough for a station. Don't go jumping on me, that's just my opinion. Plus, I haven't been to the park since June 10th this year, so a lot has changed.
July 25, 201610 yr I think this is the curved drop. you can kind of see the shape formed by the markers. The lift hill will climb towards DB then curve while dropping around 180 degrees. Then the track will roughly turn another 90 degrees and proceed to go back under or over the lift hill, toward the lake.

Flying Squirrels are the rage these days. LolSent from my iOS 10 device
July 25, 201610 yr I also believe the cleared out area (where the old funnel cake building used to be) directly behind the "teaser" wall will only be a large queue area with some theming. There will most likely be a bridge from the queue area that crosses over the train tracks leading into the coaster station on the other side.
July 25, 201610 yr Is it safe to say this will not be a wooden launch coaster? That would be very expensive and Dollywood is having all kinds of problems with Lightning Rod at the moment.

I doubt it will be a launched coaster as well. I hope they get the bugs worked out for LR though. I would love to see something like that at KI in the future. That ride looks amazingly intense!
July 25, 201610 yr Saw this when I just log on to tap-a-talk on my phone. Did I miss something or some one made this layout?? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk

On sheet S2.3 of the project plans filed back in June there is detail for "MOTOR BLOCK FOUNDATION PLAN". I think based upon that a lift hill is a given.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk No someone said that they thought it was RMC because of the lack of lateral supports, so I pulled up a GCI that used steel supports to help cut down on lateral supports as well. That is White Lightning at Funspot.
July 25, 201610 yr I figured someone would have posted this by now. Greg Scheid's twitter https://twitter.com/kigmgreg/status/757410871035301888 Sent from my iOS 10 device Hello everyone! I've been following this discussion for a while now and felt that I should join. First off, I don't know who will build this coaster, rmc and gci both seem plausible to me. I really don't care as long as it's exciting. With this picture though, I think Greg Scheid is clearly making a reference to the field of dreams teaser that Kings Island posted. With one of the quotes being, "if we build it, they will come." Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That this could be a huge coaster after all? On second thought, kids dreaming on a football field. (field of dreams) haha Field of dreams does not sound like a transition coaster. Welcome to the forum.
July 25, 201610 yr The beds... "Slumber Jack?" I shall now dodge all your tomatoes. Thank you! ...Thank you! —• • —• -•
July 25, 201610 yr Game Over! #RMC4KI2017 Team RMC: 1. GavPenn 2. Beast Gal Team GCI: 1)Everyone else EVERYONE else? I don't recall saying which team I was on. #TeamRMCSent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
July 25, 201610 yr I don't want corndogs served in the new area...or any basketball games that reward basketballs. That is for certain.
July 25, 201610 yr Bears, Stars... "Ursa?" Hmmm... when Dinosaurs Alive was teased, there was a layout, and speculation of a coaster. I wonder if this is a new campground... hmmm; no footers yet, just retaining walls and what look like roadways. Hmmm... well I'm (say it with me.... STUMPED.) —• • —• -• —• • —• - •
July 25, 201610 yr They probably won't announce an thing till it's pretty close. To prevent a crowd from causing a congested area before they are ready. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk For Banshee you could tell because they had a huge video screen, search lights, fog a screaming Banshee and church benches very early on in the day. It was a real sight from the tower too.

Welcome to the forum. Are we seeing bears on those beds....Someone said Kodiak. I like that name. Also we certain this won't be a cowboy coaster? Not even from Intamin. Maybe something like Pony Express at knott's by Zamperla?
July 25, 201610 yr Here's a list of Native American Indian monster names. Rougarou is in there as is one of my earlier picks Sasquatch. Could be a tie in with the hatchet pics. http://www.native-languages.org/monsters.htm
