Nice pictures. I think this ride will be a sleeper hit. It is not a stat machine, but it will be fun. I still want to know what could be in that shed.

I can assure all of you that at some point a smelly enthusiast will be in that shed. What do I win?

[coasterbill]

I can't wait until we find out what's in the shed so I can watch the bitching that's sure to follow. Given the space they have to work with in there I can't envision a scenario where whatever is in the shed will live up to the hype that some people have created for it.

I'm not sure why everyone got so excited for the shed, common sense says its a small show or visual of some sort. The real attraction is the coaster not the storage shed they had worked up.

[boldikus]

Common sense? Around here? Naaaaaahhhh.

[Jcoaster]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Harambe is in the shed. Connect the dots people.

Lawn Mower, Leaf Blower, Snow Shovel, Assorted Lawn Tools... the normal stuff

It's a shed. What else would you expect?

Jimmy Hoffa? The site used to fake the moon landing? A slack-jawed yokel?

I'm putting my expectations at Adventure Express level. It'll be a normal GCI with something extra at the end.

 

Also I'm gonna leave this here. I would take a look at some of the other pictures on this guy's twitter page, too. Got a couple of cool facade renderings in there.

^ Oh,My,Lawd. This is great!

[blakelemay23]

It looks like to me the shed will be a themed enclosed area that also serves as a transfer table, so instead of going through a normal transfer area they are going to spice it up.. because why not? I like the idea. I don't think there will be a drop track, or a jojo roll or anything special, but just a neat lighted area that hides the fact its a transfer table.

As Timbers continues to rise I would like to let everyone know that I have been happily placed on the rides Inaugural Crew! I'm sure i'll see a lot of you if you come ride!

[coasterbill]

Congratulations!

[KICoasterkev]

That's great! I'm sure it will be a lot of fun!

[prozach626]

Good job and good luck! Breaking in the ride and taking in that new wood smell will be a treat. Don't forget to hang out near the Dippin' Dots stand so that you can tell us when the Grandson of Beast RCCA giga will finally arrive.

[DoinItForTheFame]

So, I know the video is old, but Kings Island just posted this (Also shown below) really awesome video on Facebook. I'm sure we have all seen it, but its worth another watch. . . You know, since it's the off season and all.

 

I really like where they are going with this project. The hype is crazy!! I'm still hoping for a drop track in the shed, but who knows!
