Mystery Construction

"Watch your feet"

They are building a replica of the old Cyclone

That's quite a bold conclusion based on what is possibly a red herring.

SoEffenBored could watch your feet mean this is a floorless coaster? If it is i dont think it will be for next year.

Ah, but herrings are used for cutting down the mightiest tree in the forest. And only the mightiest tree in the forest could be used to rebuild the cyclone.

I like to go above and beyond in my conclusions. Come on, a floorless woodie? Really? Reeeeaalllly?

The "watch your feet" comment did not, as far as I know, come from CP. I have absolutely no idea where SEB was going with that.

Is it even possible to construct a woodie by spring 2010? I highly doubt it. Anyone know what the construction timeline was for another woodie in the past?

That's what I was thinking. I couldn't find that quote in any of the aformentioned places (Twitter, FB, etc...)

Meanstreak was completed in one off season. Son of Beast (I think) was as well.

Son of Beast was started close to fall of the previous year, I lived right next door to Kings Island and watched it being built. It was September we saw the first real glimpse of a woodie. With today;s technology anythign is possible.

I think if you put the last two "hints" together it is a new GCI woodie. The Gee, See Eye! is obvious to say the least, but the foot here, foot there, foot everywhere just says that it is for real. Think of how many small footers are used in building woodies...there are thousands of them!

Check out Prowler at WoF

Hmmmm....and I just noticed this picture from the Prowler construction. Wasn't there just a chain shipment over by Gemini???

"I think it is all starting to come together Pepper"

Speaking of Prowler, construction on it began in August with materials and land clearing, and with footers being poured sometime in mid/late September.

The "GEE SEE EYE" comment was no different than the one that said "AQUATRAX?" so why assume its all coming together, when the hint before said something completely opposite?

To me, the mere fact that they hinted to a GCI and an Aquatrax pretty much means you can count those possibilities as not happening. Why would they blantantly say what they're building in a hint? They are simply teasing you to the realm of possibilities the 2010 attraction could be.

I'm excited. :)

Renegade at Valleyfair! was constructed in an off season. http://rcdb.com/3660.htm?p=0

On the discovery channel they had Build It Bigger go to help build it. They could barely work somedays because of the negative temps. They got it up and running. CP can do it too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F0VfW0uTe4 (Have to fast forward a bit)

While you could very well be correct, I guess I'm just holding on to the hope of a GCI! All I got is that the Aquatrax had a "?" and the Gee, See Eye has an "!".....pretty weak, I know :(

Aquatrax was stated...and is a long running joke on the internet btw T & T and CP followers...

Gee, See Eye is a bit cryptic, and no one unfamiliar with the coaster industry would have a clue what that means.

It could be a red herring...but....

Except if you want to get technical, the way GCI builds their coasters, they have one big footer. Everything is connected with one long continuous footer as seen in this early photo of Prowler. After the main footer is poured, they put an additional footer on top of the main footer to attach the structure to.

From CP's FB:

Gee, See Eye!!

Sounds like CP is getting a GCI Woodie to me. I hope it has at least 3 trains. I bet there will be an official announcement soon (less than a month?).

I think the location of the TrailCam (but not necessarily the direction it is currently pointing) is a good indication of where a significant part (big drop or station?) of the new attraction will be, especially considering that T&T mentioned it could be turned to face different directions in their blog comments earlier in the year. I think they will turn the TrailCam so it faces towards Millennium Island, where you will be able to see a lot of the construction of the new attraction. Just my $0.02.
