cfc Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think im the only one that noticed that the promo video is made with Theme Park Studio Really? That is awesome! I am glad it is not another Wing Rider. I'd definitely take an inverted over a Wing rider, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Fire Guy Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 So I finally watched the actual onride POV rendering. Granted this is only a rendering and the real thing could behave much different (much like how I didn't expect that much out of Gold Striker which actually left me surprised), the first few elements appear to feel 'floaty' up to where we hit the batwing-ish element. Batwing and upward turn (reminiscent of the upward spiral on CGA's Flight Deck) appear to pack some good continuous forces. Actually, on CGA's FD, that's the one part that causes me to gray out. The final quick helix looks to pack a bit of forces, though rather quick due to it's smaller size. All in all, this looks like it could be awesome! Pretty much the same way I interpret the layout. Looks very floaty, boring, and sleep-inducing in the beginning, and the zero-g roll is taken very slowly (something I find very prominent on non-Stengel "new school" B&Ms). Batwing, upward turn, and final helix look to pack a punch though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Couldn't have gone for the 8th inversion to break the record?. And so it begins... lol Not a complaint. I'm psyched for the coaster! I just hope it's forceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CpBluestreakCp Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 This coaster looks absolutely beautiful, love the color scheme and the layout. And I am for sure happy this isn't a wingrider, thank god, we don't need two in Ohio. I think I might actually be more excited about this than I was for GateKeeper, hoping all my expectations for this coaster are granted. Good going King's Island, love it.

Wingless92 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'll give this about a 1% shot of being as good as Katun, Montu, etc. Still, it beats the heck out of SOB. The most negative TPR member. Nothing in Ohio is ever good enough for the Gizmo! LMFAO, get off my damn lawn you grubbling kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopThrill182 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Love the name, logo, color scheme--really everything on the marketing side of the ride. The ride itself leaves me somewhat less impressed. No complaints, really; I just fear this will be another "good but not great" B&M. With all of the elements existing on such a grand scale, I'm curious if the ride's pacing will feel overly drawn out and lethargic. The inline twist reminds me a bit of Gatekeeper's return keyhole element, which is taken at a similarly slow speed and provides a fun amount of hang time, IMO.

John Peck Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Love it! Hope they add in those little headstones throughout the course. And that teaser... badass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceattack52 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The brake run looks long enough to handle three trains, though one of the renderings shows a train at the top of the lift, presumably one in the station, but no train on the brake run. Hmm... I noticed that too, the break run looked super long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsz1002 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) For those asking about height. The press release says 167 feet tall and 150 foot first drop. It also mentions three trains with eight cars each. Edited August 9, 2013 by jsz1002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... I noticed that too, the break run looked super long. I was just about to edit that [again] because I watched the POV videos and it looks like the simulation is just running one train so the second bit of my post is void. But yeah... Fairly long brake run on a lengthy ride, I'd actually be surprised if they didn't run three trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Loving it! The logo is sweet, the purple and blue color scheme looks awesome (yay, no red), and mostly Kings Island finally gets a zero-G roll! Seven inversions is more than any other coaster in the entire region, at least since Shock Wave at SFGAm bit the dust. I'm very happy for Kings Island, they needed a ride like this! I had wondered if B&M were going to use the wing coaster restraints and I'm glad they are despite how they tighten. Maybe that will be resolved with Banshee.

Locostitch Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Well this is amazing!!! The part I'm shocked about is through out the pov it shows theming the entire way. The theming is headstones. Also Cedar fair THEMED a station!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I love how they have all the ride specs available to the public when they reveal the ride, unlike Six Flags, especially YOLOcoaster, they didn't have the track length for quite some time. Love the ride so far, it looks awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... I noticed that too, the break run looked super long. Since there is no MCBR, they probably need a large brake run to use 3 train operation. Just like GateKeeper which has a larger than normal brake run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 New Trains. Kind of a surprise I never thought they old one's where bad. I found that strange as well. Is it not the same restraint used on flyers and wind-riders? Maybe they're just making them standard issue now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Gumball Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think im the only one that noticed that the promo video is made with Theme Park Studio So was it TPS that was used to make this?

If that's the case, I'm even more excited now for it to come out! It was not a game. It is 3D Studio Max. Done by the same person who did Gatekeeper and all of the *GOOD* park animations for the past decade or so.
