A view of the construction site as a whole.

I didn't realize Mystic Timbers' turnaround would run directly by the railroad and railroad maintenance shed. Should afford some great views!

Also appears that there will be 5 cross-overs with White Water Canyon.

Any idea #whatsintheshed yet? It's the only thing I'm really interested about tbh.

I think they might be posting hints on Facebook and Twitter.

Also, Kings Island, for the love of god upload your photos with a larger size than 450x400. It isn't 2005 any more.

Jesus Christ are they uploading those photos using a rock?

This #whatsintheshed marketing buzz is way too similar to AT's supposed surprise element on Smiler before the first lift hill. Good way to hype things up only to find out that it was basically a block brake.

At the most, it will be glorified transfer shed with walls and maybe a light show?

 

[Ben]

It'll be drop track, lets face it.

Not a chance. If it were a drop track, we'd have seen pictures of a gigantic steel structure being installed from these flyovers. At best it'll be some dark ride section to allow for better operations for the 3 trains.

That surprise element was only ever created by enthusiasts who thought the secret feature must be something inside the building a la Th13teen.

From the park themselves, they focused very little on it being a world first / world beating coaster for the most part, instead focusing on the theme itself.

What about the heartline roll? I think it is pretty surprising if you don't expect it.

I was thinking this would turn out like Th13teen. They hype to coaster up a bunch, and it's big "surprise" is nothing big at all.

Some more construction photos. Hoping the summer foliage will fill this in nicely.

A bit of press news, which more importantly featured some gorgeous photos of the lift hill and drop: http://www.journal-news.com/news/ki...ion-before-first-ride/HxxRf7fPzWtHIdJQUNDzqL/

[Hyde]

[Hyde]

Snaps from the webcam. Track work is looking pretty well done.

It's only just hit me how big this thing actually is...
