I didn't catch any references to lasers, snakes or fire, however. Sorry, Wes. Well I don't think Wes meant that as an actual name, I say the "Laser snake horse on fire" thing was just a cheap shot on Cedar Fair's coaster names. Um.... I knew Wes was joking (has Wes ever posted more than 3 threads that could be taken seriously??), hence, I too, was kidding And, unless I am really misunderstanding, tomorrow's big announcement is open to the GP, passholders, fanboys, coaster porn geeks and horses and snakes, with or without lasers.

Hercules Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 ^ Thanks for clarifying that. I did not know that. Still, it is just an announcement. Wake me up when the ride actually opens up.
Hercules Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 ^ I don't get it. It's not like the ride is going to be built by tomorrow. Jay, are you doubting the abilities of the LSHoF? Just a word to the wise, my friend....we overheard our next door neighbors doubting it last week too. What happened last night? Their first born went missing in the night. All that was heard in the distance was galloping......and slithering.....and fire.... I just lost my pen....

KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 ^ From what I hear it is going to be in 2012 and will be a Giovanola. Giovanola no longer makes coasters,now if it is an Intamin at least it should have a much better layout than superman at SFA,as well as standard restraints without the pain inducing shin guards/ankle braces that were installed after the 2004 SFNE accident. Back on topic here: I ohh so don't like the colors for this ride,it looks too similar to firehawk.Sure the supports are a lighter shade of tan/gray but the track color is exactly the same.

haux Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 A friend of mine suggested Behemoth as the name. What's with the snakes and horses in the box? Maybe Behemoth eats snakes and horses. Also lasers.
Reon Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Well, it could be a Behemoth Eye in that box, but thats a retarded looking behemoth then....Also, it obviously has laser eyes, and breathes fires....
DBru Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I just lost my pen.... You double posted. ^Call the internet police! (WTF is wrong with the countdown? The announcement time has changed 3 times in the last 2 hours...)
CHILLERLC1 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 We made it to 8/6/08! Will it be called Stallion?
gk Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I'll go with Stampede. (A stampede caused by snakes!!!!)
haux Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 (WTF is wrong with the countdown? The announcement time has changed 3 times in the last 2 hours...) I noticed that. Earlier, it was counting down to 1 a.m. Eastern. Now it's counting down to 3 p.m. Eastern. Weird.
kraken613 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Maybe they wont announce it and will just keep getting pushed back! lol
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 Maybe their press release will be just like Sidewinder at Knott's. Ah yes, the classic "C'mon in, we're open now". on opening day.
sixflagsjunkie88 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 My final name guess is Steal Beast or Beast Hunter. Gimmicks are a way of life.
coolhandluke Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 ^^^^Yeah, and 3pm is shortly after the press release at the park. They probably figured the press release would be best used to announce the stats for the first time, instead of just repeating stuff ppl can find on the website. Weird how they set it up, but it makes sense. Or they had problems changing the animations from whatever the name was going to be to LSHoF and needed more time. Can't blame 'em for wanting to be perfect.
dragonskeep Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 I just looked at the info on the web site for the first time,......uhhh what? It doesn't look much like a snake to me, but what else would go with the western looking theme of the station. Maybe a big mutant lizard thing and they are gonna hunt it down on horseback. Seriously though, those videos are pretty blah, but maybe it will be great when announced. I think, however, a whole lot of bashing of theme/name is a foot in these here hills. One thing is for sure, KI is getting a great new ride.
dragsterfan420 Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 The announcement will be brodcasted on the parks website if anyones interested.
