Well they kinda have to move fast (they where working last Sunday) since they are 3 months behind..........

Surprised they haven't done more lift construction thus far.

They haven't gotten it out of the shed yet.

Hi guys! just recently published a TR from the parks last operating day of the season! Be sure to check it out!

I just wanted to ask (if no one else has already asked this), what do you guys think is in the Mystic Timbers shed?

 

I was thinking it'd give a little spooky show or something and have a drop track. Which would be pretty cool.

 

Someone else on a different forum thought that it might have swing track.

 

Both of which would be pretty interesting for a wooden coaster.

 

Enough about that. What do you guys think?

[ElectricUncleSam]

Great stuff^^^^. KI are flat-out embarrassing BG at this point.

We have no reason to believe that either project is behind schedule. What the hell are you talking about?

Boldikus metioned on the Dutch Wonderland thread that he thinks its gonna be an unloading platform. I totally agree with that opinion because that way it could catch all the people waiting in the station by surprise.

^If that's all it was, it would be even more of a rug pull than the 2017 Kings Dominion announcement. #ReallyMoreComing #SorryItsfor2018 #MooseOutFrontShouldHaveToldYou

Oh Christ, not again.

What is a swing track?

[njcoasterguy34]

I'm assuming it's something like what this coaster has.

Quick question, does anyone know the angle of Banshee's first drop? I've been trying to find the answer with no luck

It's a joke, dude, don't get too wrung-up about it.

[drummermattk]

Looks like station work is about to begin! I have a feeling you'll get nice up close and personal with the train as the loading platform is on the left side of the train tracks, facing Diamondback. (Judging by the animated shed that was shown).

Also for what's in the shed. It will be fun. (Isn't everything at ki)

^Absolutely, considering KI's flawless reputation in their history of wooden coasters.

[KICoasterkev]

Can't wait to see the Mystic Timbers sign out front of the que line.

Which of those 2 ridiculous things was the joke? Or were they both jokes? You're quite the jokester.

Looks like the sarcasm train skipped us both on this one. My original comment was mocking the common belief that vertical construction means everything. Although yes, while neither ride is behind schedule at this point, KI does seem to have much more vertical construction finished, while BG seems to be focusing more on the tunnels and station. Between that and the fence-sitting RMC Mean Streak, only time will tell if any of these open on, behind, or ahead of time.

Nice fog on Banshee this morning.

[Guy T. Koepp]

Oooooooooo! Spooky!

 

It looks like the kind of fog that wandering Female Ghosts would roam around in.

[TyRush]

I still think Banshee is one of the more beautiful coasters out there

Relax bud, I was being facetious. Unless there's like strippers and beer in the shed, I could care less.
