    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    I was doing some research on my prior statement and I found info on a S&S that was built in China. It has 4 across seating and by the looks of the one picture, its f-in wide. I am going to guess that this is how the track will be done for Kennywood and the trains will use a lap system similar to...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    I am not going to say it's not track. Usually you will see track transported side by side on a truck. A flatbed trailer is 102 inches (8.5 feet wide). With that said, the steel on the back of the truck is over 6 feet wide plus. That really wide for track if the guide wheels ride on the outside...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    Did anyone else catch that the renderings have yellow supports and that the pictures show black supports arriving at Kennywood? I don't think it will look as gaudy with black supports. Maybe they will pay a homage to Phantom and go black supports, grey track, with yellow cars (with the steelers...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    From what I've read. They intentionally did not show the trains because, since this is S&S's big project for the year, they are gonna do a reveal at IAPPA. Hopefully show off some traind without OTSR's. Also, Joe from Ride Centerline had a hand in designing this coaster so I'm sure it will be...

    Milestones in Your Counts

    I never started counting till I got up in the 90's on my count. But I do keep a log for my kids.. 100 - Diamondback (me) 100 - Lightning Rod (wife) 50 - Diamondback (oldest son) yes we rode it together. 50 - Bizarro: SFGA (daughter) I tried talking her into Kingda Ka for her 50th but she wasn't...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    I personally thing the blueprints are legit. Was at the park last weekend and everything I saw seemed to fit with these drawings. Also, I agree with what the video said, the drawing is the top of a stack of papers so there's multiple drawings there, not just one. 1. The footers already placed in...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    I personally think it genius. Whoever is doing the PR for this certainly knows how to tease the enthusiasts. The obvious guess with the number 9 would be airtime moments. But someone suggested on another board that KW wanted a record breaker with their original. So 9 could be inversions which...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    The Japanese coasters have a 83 mph launch to get up the 197' hill. So if 75 is a launch speed then 120 could be the height of the top hat with a 220' drop own the ravine. But I not so sure of that. 75 mph is a doable top speed off of a 220' first drop with a chain lift though so the 75mph top...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    Although wishful thinking, I would like to think it's a 195 lift hill into a 120' inversion followed by a 220' drop into the ravine. The guys over at KPConnection make valid points that show the plausibility of a S&S air launch...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    I didn't catch the Hybrid part. The multiple choice argument would at least point to an RMC. Despite Screamscape reporting that they backed out. I wonder what picture they would have used for a Woodie.

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    Actually the photo spells out a T-Rex. Think about the question.. "What's not next?" If you think of it as a multiple choice. The question is basically asking "Which one of these choices is not next. There is a photo of two dinosaurs (T-Rex) and a car. I would suspect that the car is in...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    I was under that suspicion too. I tried making an overlay but dont have the correct software. I found a Youtuber who found markers going around the stage near the lake. Soaring with Dragon is "L shaped" so that would put the station and launch where Racer is. I could be similar to Dragon but not...

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    I know its wishful thinking but what about 197' lift hill with and extra 100' down into the ravine making it a 300' ish drop.

    Kennywood | Steel Curtain | S&S Multi-looper

    stumbled across a Youtuber that says a there is a suspicion on Reddit that this could be an Intamin "Soaring with Dragon" clone or similar to it. It is 197 feet tall with (technically) 3 launches. although it would be awesome, I'm not 100% sold on the idea that its going to go down the ravine...

    Novel Comp Idea (Maybe!)

    It was three years ago. I guess my memory is bad. LOL I'm down for another competition. with No Limits. Maybe if it gets mentioned on the Facebook Chat group we can draw some interest. I cant really run Planet coaster cause my computer isnt powerful enough

    Novel Comp Idea (Maybe!)

    There was a NoLimits comp a few years back that attempted the same thing. while it was a neat concept. There wasnt much creativity.
