KI Kidd Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Are there only footers in that front left section of cleared area? Looks like it to me As of Saturday, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I really don't think those footers would be for a Rocky Mountain Coaster as they seem too big for a wooden structure. The KI footers: Outlaw Run (RMC): Taken by Eric Bowers. Leviathan (B&M): Taken by CWMania. Intimidator 305 (Intamin): Skyrush (Intamin): Yolocoaster (Premier): Photo by Musketeer. The RMC footers are slightly smaller, B&M's footers could work as they can be smaller Intamin's in some cases and if so, then this could be a turn as the footers in a station and transfer area are usually rectangular in shape. I-305 uses basically rectangles throughout the majority of the layout, but Skyrush uses a majority of concrete columns, but I think these are smaller. If I were to bet, I'm thinking either a B&M or Premier since it looks like their coasters could both work on these kinds of footers. Once concrete is poured and the anchoring bolts are added, it might be able to tell us more about what type it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I saw we wait and see till this weekend. its a super nice week in ohio, so a lot of work can done. its hard to tell how big a footer is from looking at a picture in a huge empty Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Looks like B&M to me. If it were a I305 type, the footers would be rectangular But then again it could be another Intamin type coaster as well like a launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 ^ "Oh let the speculation commence. . ." Whatever they are planning, I hope it's good enough for me to say "Yes. I shall renew my Cedar Fair Platinum Pass just as an excuse to go back to Kings Island!" Personally, I'm hoping for Iron Beast because it'll be the closest I-Beam coaster to where I live ( unless Kings Dominion gets there own I-Beam coaster -perhaps an Iron Hurler or Iron Grizzly), but I would still be satisfied with a record-breaking and ground-breaking coaster that hasn't been seen, heard, or even imagined before.

coasterfreak101 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Looks like B&M to me. If it were a I305 type, the footers would be rectangularBut then again it could be another Intamin type coaster as well like a launcher That's not the case. That's like saying for the first GCI that used the concrete slab, "Oh, we can rule out GCI, there aren't individual footers being poured." Manufacturers don't necessarily have one single design for their rides - GCI uses individual footers for terrain woodies and concrete slabs for flat land, Intamin used rectangular footer shapes on I305 but used columns for Skyrush over the water, and so on. I'd say it's definitely not a woodie, if those are actually coaster footers (and not for a station or something that isn't even a roller coaster at all). Even if we didn't have footers being poured already, I'd be shocked if they put another woodie in that spot - enough GP think Apocalypse at SFMM is just a new Psyclone, somehow I don't think this park wants ANYONE mixing up their new hotness with Son of Beast.

IronWolfman Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't remember who said it, but didn't Cedar Fair say they were done with Intamin in a way? If true, than that statement combined with how successful and reliable Leviathan is, this new coaster might just be a B&M Giga... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedar Point is definetly done with Intamin after that disaster of a water ride however I'm not too sure about the rest of the parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_IntaMAN_ Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 That is a hell of a lot of space they're dealing with there! Can't wait to see how this project progresses! I have a feeling B&M has something to do with this project, but I also don't doubt an Intamin launched coaster could be out of question too. But my bet is on either a B&M Giga or Mega.

B&MIntaminGCI Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It would have to be a Giga, they have Diamondback, so it wouldn't make sense to get ANOTHER Diamondback, but hey, you never know, because "who woulda thunk" that Canada's Wonderland would have got Levi after Behemoth.

bonsaiisuperstar Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'll be there at 9:30 tomorrow for Diamondback ERT. I'll be sure to try and take a few good shots of the footers which I'm sure are farther along. It's been nice all week so hopefully they have been working hard on our new mystery coaster. I'm hoping for a B&M invert myself. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whodey Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 But what if it is not a coaster at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 While a Giga would be really cool, I'd love to see a custom designed inverted coaster. It would really help round out the coaster collection and I've never ridden a B&M inverted coaster that I didn't love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I was hoping for a B&M Invert too! Something along the lines of Montu. But I doubt thats what it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonsaiisuperstar Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm gonna pony up the dough and go to Dinosaurs Alive. I make fun of it all the time but should give it a chance i guess. Well....on second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 If I had to guess, I'd say it looks more like the B&M giga footers pic. I really hope for a B&M Giga Dive Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 A new patent was filed on April 24th by Cedar Fair. Maybe I was on to something earlier this week! www.trademarkia.com/banshee-85913369.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDipper 80 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Weird of them to trademark Banshee, seeing as it worked out so well back in 1996 for them... Maybe they're looking for an excuse to unload all the leftover Banshee merch they have sitting in a warehouse somewhere . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
