PKI Jizzman Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 ^I don't know though why would they keep the track so far off site, I mean there's a nice open area by the Racer turnaround! Um...no there isn't....
NASA Guy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 ^Yea there is, The Area where they used to shoot off fireworks. I agree with pacoasterrider, It's starting to get to the point where they are just putting it off. Come on and Make an Announcement already!

I agree with pacoasterrider, It's starting to get to the point where they are just putting it off. Come on and Make an Announcement already! Exactly, the place where they shoot fireworks...they can't have anyone or anything...but fireworks back there.
NASA Guy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 ^I'm too lazt too ask why nothing can be there. . .
pacoasterrider Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 ^I'm too lazt too ask why nothing can be there. . . risk of fire, fireworks make a mess, exc. Im sure it could still be compromised, and stuff could be put their if need be. But KI needs to tell us something. If they are so close to the plant the track is coming from then I'm sure minimal can be left onsite, and we shouldn't see much outside of station track until winter.
NASA Guy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 But KI needs to tell us something.quote] Are you kidding? this is Kings Island, Don't Expect an official Announcement untill 3 months after everyone stops caring.

True, I guess im just so used to HersheyPark letting us know a year in advance if anything is happening.
NASA Guy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Well Kings Island holds things off as long as they can!
PKIDelirium Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 As of today the construction has gone into overdrive. I'm attaching several photos, you can see the rest here: http://www.kiextreme.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=319
NASA Guy Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 ^It didn't used to look like that at all. That Ravine has Completly Transformed.
dragsterfan420 Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Oh man!! You can see that from the train?! I'm going to get a bunch of pics when I go up there in 2 weeks or so.

Hercules Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 So wait..... do I actually have a reason to visit King's Island next year?
CP_RULES Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 So wait..... do I actually have a reason to visit King's Island next year? No, this could just be outhouses... I mean, it hasn't been confirmed it's a coaster...
Skramp Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 http://www.kicentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11233&pid=230133&st=5550entry230133 The picture shows some rusted-colored Hyper track being loaded into a truck And at this point is a much more realistic time for track to be found as such. . . That rusty track is unpainted. And just because there is a truck there doesn't mean it's being loaded into it. It could be delivering something for all you know. That rusty track was there when I stopped by the place a few months ago. {Science Rant} You see kiddies, steel in it's bare form is a metal. When you take metal and place it outside where it may be exposed to sun, rain, dew, leaves, it tends to rust, such is the habits of metal. {End Science Rant} They fabricate the track pieces in raw steel, then place them outside until they have a chance to paint them. The track they are working on is a burgundy finish color, not to be confused with "rust" which is just the coloring the steel track gets from sitting outside. It's one thing if you have real information to go saying stuff, but just throwing random theories out gets old. Yes, KI takes a long time to announce things, but rest assured, they will make an announcement before the season is over. Until then, don't get your panties in a bunch and just enjoy the suspense.
haux Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 That's pretty cool. Now I'm starting to think it'll be themed toward The Beast. Or have some sort of relation to The Beast. Running out in the forest and desert and screaming? That's gotta be some sort of monster.
Airtime&Gravity Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 First there was Beast, then Son of Beast, now ride Cousin of Beast. lol Whatever does get built, I'm sure it will be great as B&M has been building some really good hyper coasters lately. AS for the ride, I'm expecting a cross between Phantom's Revenge, and Behemoth. Hopefully this hyper coaster doesn't get trimmed down a lot like the other ones B&M has built. The one thing that concerns me is the possible name. Mustang doesn't seem like a theme that would go into the area this is going. Sure they could find a way, but a ride named Mustang seems like something that would go in a western themed area, not River Town.(that is the area of the park right?)
PKI Jizzman Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Agreed. Mustang...or Fugative? Doesn't seem like the direction this is going... I spy...
Carnage Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I wonder if they learned how to lock that flash animation? They used a similar animation for Behemoth, and people cracked it, exposing the final pictures.
PKI Jizzman Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 In my opinion, I think it will have something to do with a serpent. It looks like a snake to me, and they can live in the desert or woods. Something to do with maybe a mythical serpent or something in that area sounds like it to me. -JZ
Wes Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 http://visitkingsisland.com/ If you do a View Source on the landing page, there's a tag that says BEHEMOTH. They could be re-using old code or something, or maybe they are just trying to throw people off. But yeah, it says BEHEMOTH.
pyrocoasterkid Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I don't think it's a snake. Snakes don't blink do they? I'm thinking a dinosaur. T-rex or Velociraptor?
