Lift type and location?

Heres my 2 cents.

1. "Ready for some serious sidewinding?"

I'm thinking lift hill somewhere around Raptors height followed by a series of inversions. That covers that.

2. "Theres a storm a brewin."

LIM or LSM section hidden under the station launching to 100 mph or so.

3. "Were going in a whole new direction."

After said launch track, a RITAesqe section going all the way over to Millennium Island. That sounds like a whole new direction to me. From what I saw this weekend, theres definetly new work going on on the island, especially in the "infield" of turn two. Theres a huge new pile of dirt in the middle of turn one and all new access roads including at least 3 clearing of trees on the outside edges of the island that could be used to connect makeshift bridges for construction equipement.

This should insure enough track length for the world's longest coaster.

I'm just putting "2 and 2 together" for a 2 part ride.

*waits patiently to be ridiculed*

You asked for it...

1: IMHO just means it will have lots of turns and a few Helixes... I highly doubt it will have inversions, that piece of land is too good for inversions.

2: Wtf? How do you get an LIM section from a Storm? They probably put that sign there to hint at either nothing or that it will interact with water. Btw, LSM's suck...

3: CP has always built reacord breakers, that's the 'direction' they have always gone. With this new attraction, they plan to go the opposite direction, meaning a non-record breaking coaster. Instead just a cool, fun, IJST like coaster.

And I can be 100% positive it will not go anywhere near Millennium Island...

I will agree that the Launch(it will have one) will be over or under something.

OMG! Less then a week I can see it for myself, then from the top of Mean Streaks lift hill I will finally know what the layout is... or most of it.

Why does everyone just "know" it will be a launch, when there is no evidence to support such a theory?

Don't claim to know things that you do not.

I seriously do not think that "We're going in a whole new direction" means they are not building a record breaker. Highly, highly, highly doubt it.

Edit: Unless of course it's a 300 foot mega looper with 9 inversions that's 9,500 feet long. That breaks no records (assuming they can claim that MF is a looping coaster ;)). *** Edited 5/16/2006 12:00:16 PM UTC by Top Thrill Dragster***

Some of you people look into things way too much. Why is everyone convinced these are encrypted messages waiting to be broken like a code? "There's a storm a brewin'" and "We're going in a whole new direction" mean one thing to me: we're building something new and there's construction going on. Why does it have to be more complicated than that?

2+2=deh 4-d 4-sure!

And somewhere builds a coaster longer than 9500 feet before this opens.

Hmmm... 2 and 2... therefore:

5280 + 5280 = 10,560!!!!!!!11!!!!11!

Just kidding. Italics hit the nail on the head, in my opinion.

Anyone that's trying to tell me that I'm looking into this way too much can go to hell, now. In case you haven't figured it out, I'm having a little bit of fun, at the same time mocking some of the people who are speculating crazy ****.

DJD - I don't claim to know anything and neither is KingOfLouies - he simply said that was his .02 - Thanks for the input, though.

Actually, wouldn't 2+2 be 10,560 + 10,560 = 21,120?

Wasn't talking about you. But, for clarification, see above bolded type.

I think the signs do hint a little as to what the ride will be. I think "We're heading in a new direction" just means the ride will not be a flume. Don't forget that before WWL, the site contained Shoot The Rapids. This site has always been home to a flume ride, a coaster is a new direction for that piece of land.

I was just tired of seeing dumb posts claiming it'll go all over the place and it'll be 500 feet tall, if they can say that, I can say what I said. I could say typed, but it looks retarded.

Besides, how do you know it wont launch?

Common sense.

WT was built in 2002, had problems.

TTD was built in 2003, had problems.

They began planning for "Project 2007" in 2004. Do you think they would be so quick to choose a launched coaster at that point in time?

How do you know they started planning in 2004?

Don't forget there lots of launched coasters that work.

Saying it won't launch is sort of hypocritical... Especially after your post with the famous bold lettering regarding people saying it will be launched. *** Edited 5/16/2006 5:58:25 PM UTC by Coastern3rd***

I'm fairly sure it was Dick Kinzel who mentioned the general timeline for choosing attractions, in the podcast last fall.

I'm pretty sure it will launch in some shape or form.

Yeah... down from the top of the lift hill. ;)

People have died to protect the DaKinzel Code. :)

I can see it now--the Mona Lisa mimicked with Dick Kinzel's face.

Good one Jeff. :)

If I was really good with Photoshop, I would take the book cover of The Davinci Code, change it to what Jeff said (The DaKinzel Code) and work in the pics of footings and track. LOL!!
