Rabbit_in_Red Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 See? I just didn't care for Rougarou, personally. The floorless design wasn't anything unique, in my mind, as it felt like any other sit down B&M coaster. It wasn't as thrilling, at least in my opinion, as it was when it was a stand up coaster. And personally, I can't ride the flyers. I get severe dizziness just being laid back like they do in the loading stations. I'd be blacked out before even getting to the lift hill!

ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I thought Rougarou was great through the first half, but nothing special at all after the MCBR. It just kind of wanders. I'd rank it last among floorlesses I've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Stand ups aren't comin' back, so go visit SFOG. Who's got final predictions? RMC 160' 65 mph 0 inversions, features 6 White Water Canyon crossovers 3500' long, making KI have most wood track in one park Hoping RMC, but it could be GCI.

RyanTPM Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 ^That leaked layout from the plans looked 100% like a GCI rather than an RMC, so i'm going to go with GCI. I'll be very pleasantly surprised if it is an RMC though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KICoasterkev Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I think its an RMC. Go over WWC few times and go near the train station too. Tomorrow's the big night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I thought Rougarou was great through the first half, but nothing special at all after the MCBR. It just kind of wanders. I'd rank it last among floorlesses I've been on. I agree with this but honestly no floorless coasters really "wow" me. Dominator is the best otherwise, but Rougarou is one of my favorites because of how forceful it is since it's really an old school B&M. Don't get me wrong... it's no Kumba. But the turn before the swooop into the midcourse is almost Maverick-esque (though not on the same level). Rougarou near the back of the train is really solid.

kenban Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Here is my prediction. GCI 110 ft. high 3300 ft. long 55 MPH top speed Metal support structure like White Lightning If I counted correctly will cross over WWC 6 times. I want this to be an RMC, but the realist in me looks at the overview of the layout and it just screams GCI. Still have zero explanation for why the park would build the ride here because Cedar Fair is not in the habit of building rides above each other. If this is an RMC, I think it will be a fun layout with barrel rolls over WWC, a stall over the reservoir, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nwstone Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 My prediction: Name- Spawn of Beast GCI 105 ft 3000 or so feet of track Steel structure 1 inversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 A hang time Inversion over wwc would be way cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be a dick just because you disagree... ANYHOW, I like your prediction. Only thing I'm altering for mine is I think it's going to be a GCI instead of an RMC. Otherwise, I think you're spot on. I think the goal is to have the most wooden track in a park with this new piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defrocker Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 No need to be a dick just because you disagree... I don't think he's being a dick. I think he's saying that SFOG has the only good Stand up model, so if you want to ride one, go there. I agree, they aren't coming back, and that's a good thing.

coasterbill Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 ^ Yeah I actually had to re-read that a few time to see where he was "being a dick". People are so thin skinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOFanatic Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 My prediction: GCI 90 ft. drop, elevation changes. 0 inversions. 3000-3500 ft. long. 53 mph Name will have nothing to do with the Beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotOneOfYou Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 When did predictions like this become a thing? The people over in the Kings Dominion thread just predict the type of thing they'll get and that place can be like a mental ride on Green Lantern. Then again, these predictions are based off of some information as opposed to the 'I want' method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOGdude25 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 ^Yeah I've been seeing pictures elsewhere that show the announcement will happen against the back of the Crypt building. Pretty interesting! BTW, here's where the live stream will be for those of us that won't be there. I think you have to make an account, but you can just log in through Facebook.

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm really excited to hear too! I'll be the one and only person to predict that the "leaked" plans were fake and we're getting something none of us expected. But hey, if it is a GCI (which all signs point to it being), it could still be exciting. Gold Striker is an awesome ride and one of my favorite wooden coasters. (But not as exciting as RMC, let's be real here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kahill04 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Guys... GUYS... What if KI does get a roller coaster, but they also announce plans to finally do something with the old Crypt building? I'm sure enthusiasts can't be the only ones to want to see something other than a haunt in the building. I know the chances of that happening are slim to none, but one can dream.

drummermattk Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I was wondering the same thing, but maybe use Crypt as a queve line or station? the only way i see this as not being true is because they havent cleared everything out of there, at least i dont think they have. My prediction: GCI (Duh, the layout looks 95% GCI). Lift hill of 145 ft. Drop of 135 Multiple interactions with Train and WWC. Maybe some outerbanked turns? I love these on Stormchaser maybe GCI would add a couple. We already know how big this coaster is going to be since they've already started tearing up the old patch station from haunt, so i believe that location will be for the turn around.
