Locals see activity at former Freestyle Music Park

Of course the rumors are all flying around now. One of the better ones is the speculation that Time Machine will possibly be sold to Kentucky Kingdom. Only time will tell. But, that would be a quick easy way to get a large quality steel coaster in the kind of time frame they need.

"Dirk Vader?" :)

I, for one, would like to see the Zep coaster live again. I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much as I did without the music and theming, but I thought it was a very good ride.

I'm skeptical Time Machine could fit into Chang's old location. It's way longer of a ride, they'd have to probably take out both the amphitheater and the go-karts for a tight squeeze. Which maybe they'll do, what do I know.

Hope you mean Linear length because Chang was bigger than Time Machine by several hundred feet.

Besides, Im hearing next years coaster is going in the area where the Mouse was. So Im thinking 7 million probably a used spinney mouse.

7 Million is the moving cost that KI gave on X-Flight to KI and they already owned the ride.

^yes by longer, I meant dimensionally. I looked at side-by-side google maps though, it's not the most precise thing.

Google maps has a distance measurement tool.

The former site of Chang is ~830 feet in length. The length of the old Led Zep coaster is ~967 feet.

However, the total distance from the amphitheatre behind T2 to the road that splits the park in two is around 1400 feet and the extra distance is just a storage lot and a small corner of what looks to be an overflow parking lot.

Here is 975 feet measured out on the former Chang site:

Ick. That pool looks poopy.

The technical term is 'ass soup'...

Any operating public pool is simply stewing lukewarm asshole soup.

Drink up, kids!

Well I have no idea how your fancy map tools work Gonch. I wasn't including that lot because I wasn't sure if KK owned it or not. If they do, it fits pretty well.

Our firewall blocks Gonch's image as porn. Hilarious.

Greezed Lighting Station is going to be used for this new coaster. So I doubt it is a wild mouse

I could see TM or a new B&M being added to Kentucky Kingdom in 2015/2016. I don't think TM is the intentional new coaster for 2014. I think we're going to see a custom Intamin coaster.

Universal's time machine used to fit into a Delorean...

Coaster porn.

To be fair, it is longer than it is wide.

The "activity" at the old FMP site....Mon-Stars are probably trying to escape.

I love coaster porn. I have a date with Gonch every night. Whether he knows it or not.

One time I was attempting to use the public computer at a hotel and this site was blocked. When I clicked on the reason it was due to the use of the word "swinger". Yeah, what... WAVE Swinger maybe? Sheesh.

I'm not sure they do. Now that I look again, they very well might not.

It looks to me like they might, it kind of connects to the picnic pavilion area. Wasn't that space, back in the day, a trailer park or residential area of some kind? I seem to remember them picking up that land and raising the houses for future expansion. I don't even know now under who's ownership that deal took place.
