Shavethewhales Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 One week countdown! Â I'm so glad this hasn't been spoiled - there's nothing like the excitement of a well planned announcement day. I hope we're all really surprised next week. Â I'm about to tune out of the speculation at this point though, it's getting a little repetitive now. Somehow I think some are taking the track thing too far. There's no telling if the track for this ride has already been made, is yet to be made, or what. I'd focus more on what you think HW would look for in a coaster. Personally I'm thinking tallness, giant inversions, and maybe, maybe a launch.

HolidayWorldFTW Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I think they might be going for a worlds biggest or longest. I do think there will be a record or two in there somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterchitchat Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Anyone notice that there isn't a new entry on 66daysatsea for today? Usually it's up way before now.. Â A few weeks ago, I started timing each post to publish about 20 minutes later than the day before. So try not to fret ... it's all part of my evil plan. Â Are you guys going to film the announcement and put it on youtube in cause if were there and our camera dies (happened during Banshee's) we can see it later?

ZeroGravity55 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 ^ I don't really feel like doing the math in my head, but I believe she is timing it out where the final clue/answer will be given out on day 67 at 8:30 p.m. I could be wrong though.

kyleparks77 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 ^ 21(days- a few weeks ago) x 20(min) + 7(days remaining) x 20(min) = 560(min)/60(min)/1(hr) = 9 hr 20 min. So add that onto the time they normally posted and you roughly have your final clue time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was always later in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleparks77 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 ^ I think I recall some of the earliest clues going live around 3am  Edit: Going back in the discussion board to the first day of the 66 (which was nearly 150 pages back), the first clue went live at about 2:15 CDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 ^ The first two or three weeks the clues went live around 5 a.m. and after that, I believe everything was posted after 10 a.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I hate to double post, but anybody who has doubted the size and price of this project should go to the construction webcam and look how massive the footers they poured yesterday are and look at how big the ones they're digging today. You can only sort of see one of the footers they poured yesterday, as there is a pile of dirt sitting in front of it right now. These footers are coming straight out of the first opening by The Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 ^There is a lot of activity going on. It's a shame that the footer you mentioned is hidden by that pile of dirt. I could keep watching it all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 ^ Yeah I watched them pour that one yesterday, which is why I know it is pretty big, but the two they're digging today seem to be bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkjunkie Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I dont remember if this has been talked about yet, so if it has, sorry. But my friend said something that doesnt seem far fetched. Now i know someone said the track may not be made yet, but that doesnt seem right, by now theyd have had to started, especially with all the projects B&M has going on, but what if HW has B&M storing the track or hiding it knowing that people go snooping at the plant.

Â It's a possibility, but HW is smart with their money and that would mean paying the cost to move the track twice, if it's hidden off site.

CoasterGuy2000 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Are there any hidden areas at the factory? Or maybe its at Holiday World already. The other day someone did say there was a lot of activity hidden out of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day someone did say there was a lot of activity hidden out of view. Im thinking if it is in hiding, its somewhere close to the plant. If it was being shipped to the park, people would report seeing track pieces or containers going to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirchubs33 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I personally think that hiding the track would be a waste of time/money. I doubt HW would do that just to delay what is going to happen in a week anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
