1) Milkglass candy dishes with jelly-filled candies that are decades old and permanently stuck together.
2) Liniment.
3) Early-bird specials.
4) Complaints about how they never see the grandkids.
Hmmm, I'll eat Brach's candies from time to time. So I guess that makes me older than old. Who wouldn't love buying candy by the scoop in the aisle of your local supermarket? BTW, anybody ever bought the "bulk" candy in the general store @ Knoebels?
Moosh, I'm presenting you with a Whitman's sampler @ PPP this year. In fact, I may buy it now and keep it in my car till then. :)

I find nothing to suggest that this this track is a diving coaster. In the video, it has straight track at the beginning of the lifthill. On the hypers brake runs, they have straight track. *** Edited 6/5/2008 10:05:34 PM UTC by Spinout***

Apart from vaguely following the right path and being a B&M hypercoaster, this is NOT what's coming to KI.Ok, so what are the differences from what will be the final product?
Off the top of my head? B&M has done away with the pre-drop sections at the top of the lift. If the layout presented at the beginning of the video is correct, you can expect a drop similar to Behemoth where it curves at the bottom. Second, a short speed hill like the one that follows the overbank and to a lesser extent, the one following the MCBR, has never been done or even approached in any B&M hyper, so there's no reason to expect one for what's coming to KI. Third, we have photo evidence of some sort of splash-down pond being built at KI, an there's no hint of one, or even any low, flat track where one could be in the video.
The point of my post was that the creator of this track had no additional information regarding things like hill placement, hill heights, speeds, track shaping, etc., than are available to the rest of us. In short, he had the layout, knew that the most heavily rumored candidate was a B&M hyper, and extrapolated from there. The video is his own interpretation from there on, and should be treated as such. I'm not saying he didn't do a good job, I'm just saying that in terms of accuracy, it should be taken with a brick of salt, because there just isn't enough information out there to create an accurate (p)recreation. *** Edited 6/6/2008 3:23:21 AM UTC by BBSpeed26***
