Oh sh!t. Why cant they just build a hyper, and make it GO OVER THE WATER PARK AND T3?!

This fair board keeps pulling this kind of borderline extortion crap and then wonder why the businesses repeatedly tell them to screw off.

Sounds like they're all pouty. "You hurt our fee-fees by suing us over the State Fair parking drama so we're getting back at you by not allowing you to build your precious Gravity Group Timberliner even tho you were entitled you to an acre of that for the turn-around. WAAAAH!" It would be cool if they could have wrapped the turn-around over the Deep Water Dive/Wave Runner slide tower.

JUST BUILD THAT GODDAMN HYPER, FIX THE LETDOWN OF THE HYPE AND MAKE THE ENTHUSIASTS HAPPY!! You can make it go over T3 and the waterpark.

Their main focus is not on the coaster enthusiasts. Deal with it.

You're gonna get a wand, you're gonna go to hogwarts and learn spells and sh!t. You're gonna get an owl that will deliver your she!ty mail. DEAL WITH IT!!!

Kyd that would actually be pretty awesome, and learn some dope British lingo while an American like me is at it...

Good news. The ride has been approved!!!:

You have to move on...

Dang, noone got my reference

I did, and I really loved it.

I'm really excited for the hyper coaster they secretly leaked while this was all going down

Do you have a source?

^^IDK if it counts as 'secretly leaking' when there was an actual announcement and off-ride video in Planet Coaster. As pointed out earlier, it is hyper-style but nowhere near hyper-sized.

Looks like the public-embarrassment method worked on the fair board.

I like the bigger design much better than the little family GG lol. Not hating on the GG though.

Construction is finally getting under way:

lead car design for Kentucky Flyer was unveiled at IAAPA:

Honestly... I???m not a fan. No pun intended.

If the propeller spins that would be nifty.

Opens on April 17 2019... that???s a tight deadline right there.

You realize this ride is tiny right?

Also it looks great when considering the height. The whole layout makes logical sense to me and seems like it'll work really well. I'd personally wish for the same layout with like another 20' of height at least to ensure some slightly more sustained speed over hills, and to increase some hilltop radii a hint, but really for what it is, well done GG.

I mean Six Flags doesn't do much construction for anything until January and they still manage to usually be ready for labor day so its possible

Apparently it doesn't.

Not a huge fan on the front end - looks a little childish for my liking but that's the least most important thing on the ride so.
