It's basically the symbol for Polaris.  

Edit:  Seems too obvious.  I think someone's trolling and it'll be something else.  No way they'd let the cat out of the bag with THAT.

Is that my pic? Or did you take that? 

Your pic, I had to zoom in and screen shot in browser.

The name will be Shooting Star lol 

My guess on all the naming would be Flight of Fear is renamed Orion and the new coaster will be named  Polaris with a change in theme for both to becoming more of a space travel rather than extra terrestrial theme with some tie back to the importance of space travel for Ohio.

Northern Star! haha j/k that sounds terrible.

 

Team Polaris here!

This is my guess as well.

I mean Dayton does have Wright Patterson Air Force Base. That is were the original Project Blue Book was. I can see it being tied back to Ohio. 

 

 

Edit* Also Neil Armstrong lived in Cincinnati. We have our Space roots here. 

I’m calling Uranus Major as the name of the new ride. Heard it here first 

My first post here in ages. Been lurking on this thread every now and then.

I'm excited for the announcement, but people commenting on names they hate...remember the reaction to the name Mystic Timbers? It wasn't great. We all kinda came to terms with it and we're fine...

Anyone know if any local news stations will be broadcasting live on tv?

This would be amazing.  There's so much you could do with Flight of Fear's indoor queue area to fit the theme.

THAT is a proper crane for building a giga coaster.

I wonder if we will see Clifford again.

I think even Clifford the big red crane is too small for this project, right?

Yessss vertical will start very soon!

They also may need Clifford. I am not sure if there will be parts when 2 cranes are needed like Valravn.

@LovinMeSomeBanshee More than likely.

That should be 1 of 2 cranes on this project. This one will more likely be used to assemble a larger "truss boom" crawler crane, then once construction starts both cranes will be used.

Fox19 said they will be live on tv for anyone that wants to know.

About to head over to X-Base and get some pictures! And perhaps leave something in the box....

That's pretty big but I think the two they have there now are the small ones. I can't wait to see the massive cranes they use for topping of the lift hill / drop  

Remember North Star is the name of the star flyer at ValleyFair.

you are correct sir! As pictured thats a truck crane which im sure they will use to get a start on the lower to the ground construction, I.E. see amusement insiders updates on Yukon, This truck crane will be used to build the tower crane we saw delivered earlier, they will most likely have a third tower crane on the way for the very tall portions as the current tower crane doesn't seem like its capable, unless its a modular and they havent sent the rest of the tower pieces to reach that height as they arent needed just yet

If I would have said that, I'd have been insulted and told to let people have their fantasies.

Like others have said, that's just a baby crane. Thats the one to unload track off trucks and build the real cranes.
