I don't know how I'm fix that. I took those photos the same way as all my other ones.

^ However your photos are always amazing!

Nice!

Nice construction pics. I'm a little more excited for this than the typical GCI. A slightly longer/taller Prowler with better terrain.

You mention like another "improved" Prowler's coming so you're guessing it right, I think!

Timbers looking good! First airtime hill/turn/drop into white water's reservoir is complete and honestly they should be hoping to get a lot done as it is getting COLD up here, i mean 70 degrees on one day, next day its snowing lol.

MT will be like "The Raven" running in the woods, I hope!

Looking good! Doubt its gonna be anywhere near as good as raven though...

Please no...

Regarding other plans, he said, Cedar Fair will still build thrill rides like a new wooden coaster that will make its debut at Kings Island near Cincinnati this spring and will create more ???techtainment??? ??? the marriage of attractions and video-game technology.

"and will create more ???techtainment??? ??? the marriage of attractions and video-game technology.

It opened two such attractions last year ??? **Mass Effect and Plants vs. Zombies**.." Gotta take it in context. I really doubt this means we're going to see some dark shooter section in the shed, just that more Mass Effect/PVZ-type attractions will be built throughout the chain (which Ouimet said he plans to do).

Well at least he addressed the capacity issues, and mentioned VR as part of that
I don't think the game thing was a reference to Mystic Timbers, the phrases didn't have commas between them.

^ IMO, VR is basically not for brand new coasters.

Some brand new pics have been uploaded to the park's website and they look to be in the home stretch with just track leading up into the tunnel, and the tunnel itself, and the station and shed left to be installed.

Also, i've heard about a rumor (On KiCentral) that coaster groups will not be invited to Timber's media day But lucky enough if you work for the park, they have an employee dry run day BEFORE media day

^ I assume that's going to be a pleasant woodie as long as I see those close-up photos!

Or all these hills will be taken with a ton of speed, and only receive minor floaters.
Or all these hills are going to be an enormous disappointment.

Game idea: Try not to find out what's in the shed for as long as possible after it's revealed

It's a shed...

As i zoomed in on the blueprints in the pics, I think i finally found what was in the shed.......................................................A transfer track for 3 trains, that will be dark when you enter and you'll never know it'll be a transfer UNLESS........................... The "Shed" part will be later on in the "shed"

it's probably just some lame dark ride portion that takes place on the transfer

As Timbers continues to rise I would like to let everyone know that I have been happily placed on the rides Inaugural Crew! I'm sure i'll see a lot of you if you come ride!
