Official SheiKra Thread

[BGTKing]

To try to keep discussion less spread out, I have made this thread.

[Legolas813]

well nobody has posted in here yet, so i guess i'll start the discussion:

why do you think the inline twist was dropped?!?......i'm sure they had to have the space for one because it was in the plans, but i guess they found out the g-forces would be too high or something...what do you think?...now that i think about it more, i think the overall layout will still be pretty good even with only one inversion

also, i think this will be bgt's best themed coaster yet...i've always thought they kind of lacked in that department (well compared to ioa)

[sfgadv03]

Wow, 2 vertical drops...nice!

[BGTKing]

The themeing will look great in a few years as the plants and trees grow in around the ride like they have with Kumba. And I wish that in-line twist was there; it'd be insane.

[sfgadv03]

they should take out the MCBR and replace it with an inline twist......lol

Some media.

Am I the only person here who thinks the SheiKra video has a weird similarity to the Kingda Ka video?

Is it just me?

So have they set an opening date yet?

[Legolas813]

Thank you! I was searching so hard for it....gosh its finally up!

[IntaminAG]

Awesome jobs on the photos and info Josh and King!

So due to the fact that the new smokehouse is opening in December, does that mean we'll be able to eat and watch construction at the same time?! That'd be so cool to watch them connecting the track and stuff while you're just sitting there! I really hope they realize that some of us actually want to see construction and don't put up those stupid walls!

So what do you think, will they let us watch or not?

[Legolas813]

well there will be some kind of walls...they can't let you just walk onto the construction site...hehe

[BGTKing]

They'll probably still hide it.

[Figment1986]

The walls will be tall enough that you will see some constuction,... just not enough to make you happy...

It's a groovy kind of love.. woops wong thread for that...

Nice photos like always josh....
