matteocrepaldi Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Nice! I really like this project. Are those new trains really better than the old ones? Do they really improve the ride experience?
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 ^I hear from alot of entusiasts that B&M hypers are damn good regardless.
Rct3man777 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Yep, butter smooth, great G-Forces, Great drops in your stomach and airtime... Yeah, doesn't get much better than that.
dragsterfan420 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 ^^Where did you get the pictures of the "blueprints" for the ride?! That's amazing.
Scaparri Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Yep, butter smooth, great G-Forces, Great drops in your stomach and airtime... Yeah, doesn't get much better than that. ...Until they get brake-raped. On top of that, my main problems with B&M these days is that they are becoming increasingly predictable and the trains/restraints blow. I know some people are infatuated with the clamshell restraints, but I hate them with a passion. For me, they are far too bulky and restrictive. I'd much prefer to have an Intamin T-bar or old-Giovanola style lap bar rather than feeling like I have a dog laying on my lap. Nevertheless, I'm still glad the Kings Island is finally getting a hyper. I don't want to sound ungrateful like some people do when they don't get exactly what they want in a new coaster. No matter what, I'm still thrilled about it and am holding judgment until I ride it. I just wanted to let it be known that B&M hypers aren't perfect for everybody.

PKI Jizzman Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Now Kings Island Season Passholders can purchase an ALL DAY DRINK WRISTBAND that allows them to enjoy unlimited Coca-Cola soft drinks! This great passholder perk is just $6.99 and can be purchased at any of the following locations: Festhaus, LaRosa's on International Street, Rivertown Pizza, Stunt Crew Grill in Action Zone, Ice Cream Zone in Action Zone, and Coney Refreshments and Outback Shack in Boomerang Bay.
NASA Guy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Even though I'm not a fan of Soft Drinks I still think that's a cool idea.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 The thing with all B&M's is that all the elements they offer are pretty much universal for all their rides. Not that it would ever happen, but you could have an invert, floorless, stand up, and maybe even a sit down with identical layouts. Not that I'm complaining, but it would be nice to see something innovative from B&M. I don't think B&M has really turned any heads since the conception of the invert. I'm sure that Mustang will have massive air time, but you'd be able to appreciate it more if there were less of a lap bar.

You'd also feel it more if B&M would man up and start doing negative G's on their hypers.
PKI Jizzman Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 The other thread doesn't have this... Whole media package SoB is 78mph....Yeah, I wanna go faster!!! PR of KI
PKI Jizzman Posted August 1, 2008 Author Posted August 1, 2008 "Tremors" ...Well, snake bites can cause muscle tremors, and also, a stampede of horses can cause a tremor -J "Going to find a way to print LSHOF on a shirt..." Z
Reon Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Hmm..I know a guy who can make shirts, but I dont think he'll have enough time. I'll just duct tape a LSHoF sign to a white shirt or something. Media wise, awesomeness. Maybe that tonic holds some clue. Did it say anything besides the tremor bit? Also, cure for speed=win? It definately looks like this thing will be taller than SoB if thats the case.
NINCUB Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Hmmmm... this seems to sound like it will have more of a "Snake" name/theme? With Kings Island "Striking back?" Also with the promo of a "tonic" to cure....

Also with the promo of a "tonic" to cure.... *cough*Diamondback*cough* I've been saying it since '07, and it just keeps gaining more and more support..... Either that, or LSHoF.
John Peck Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 ^ Yeah, I would go with something like Diamondback considering the eye on the KI site looks reptilian. But I think a more native-to-southern Ohio Poisonous snake may make more sense. 3 Poisonous snakes live in southern Ohio: 1. EASTERN MASSASAUGA also known as "Swamp rattler" or "black snapper" 2. TIMBER RATTLESNAKE (Gee.. could they call it "Shivering Timber"?) 3. COPPERHEAD (maybe this could be it) Here's a link to those snakes: http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/reptiles/poisonoussnakes/tabid/11847/Default.aspx
Reon Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Nice theory, but none of those snakes seem to have the red coloring to them that the track, signs, and eye hint at.
PkiJake Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Maybe it is going to themed on the serpents like creatures on the movie "Tremors". -Jake
Y2J2003Y2J Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 Graboids: The Ride, I don't think so, even though i did enjoy the series of movies. Stores sell a special iron on transfer paper so you can print things from your computer and put it on a shirt.
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 ^^^Colorization does not always have to agree with the ride theme (I.E. Silver Bullet KBF, Superman SFMM etc)
christianscoasters Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 The return of King Cobra Kidding. I'm getting too anxious waiting for the announcement.
