I am surprised there is not already a thread on this because since HW has launched their teaser campaign "66 Days At Sea", I have been banging my head everyday trying to figure out some of these "clues". I literally have not been able to dissect one drawing yet and I know that some of you guys are photo-shop pro's so I am interested to see if you can see something I can't. The pictures I am specifically talking about are the Mastiff picture on Day 13 and the Mayflower picture on Day 21.

Both of those pictures are clearly hiding something.

As for my current guess, I am going to have to go with a B&M Looper of some sort. Ever since the guys over at CoasterRadio.com put together pieces of an apparent blueprint, I noticed that the way the blueprint was labeled reminded me tremendously of GateKeeper.

Regardless of what this thing is, I am excited for it.

Hopefully this will spark some discussion.

Day 22... 1/3 of the way there...

[CoasterWarriorUnlessSleeping]

Screamscape guessed it might be a Mack water coaster. I think with all the references to the Mayflower that this is probably true. However, if they do build a water coaster, I'm hoping it's an Intamin (like divertical @ mirabilandia).

I highly doubt it will be a water coaster, seeing as they already had Pilgrims Plunge (Giraffica)
Whatever it is, I think a trip to Indiana will be mandatory next year.

Whole concept seems a bit too similar to the Voyage. Hope it is something different than the park offers currently.

Oh god, what if it's RMC...

Considering that Holiday World JUST removed their own Intamin super splash Pilgrims' Plunge (aka Giraffica), that's going to be a "No". I would rule out Intamin in general.

I highly doubt it will be a water coaster, seeing as they already have Pilgrims Plunge (Giraffica)

Oh BTW, it happened quietly, but it was removed this spring.

They just finished removing Pilgrim's Plunge (made by Intamin), do to reliability issues. There is no way they would get another one.

I doubt that they would get another woodie, but anything's possible. I hope that they get a nice B&M or a Mack, but if they had to get a woodie, I hope they get a GCI or a kiddie coaster.

I made such an idiot of myself...


This might be another bad idea, but is it possible that Gravity Group fixes up the Voyage's layout similar to what they did with Hades (Hades 360)? Only reason I say this is because of all the mayflower references.
Just a thought.

[Chubs33]

Any final guesses?

The announcement is tomorrow at 8:30 pm CDT and there will be a live stream starting at 8:15pm CDT. I cannot wait.

My final guess is the first B&M LSM Launch. The clue yesterday really, really makes it seem like a WingRider... so lets make that guess B&M Wingrider LSM Launch (like a B&M version of Furius Baco) with 5 inversions. The name... Thunderbird.

Multi-Launched Mack similar to Helix. That's my guess.

[~stεεlspectrum~]

A B&M windgrider seems very plausible, but it's supposed to be one-of-a-kind...if they did a 4D coaster like X2, I'd die. Of happiness.

[Rob2]

my guess is it would be a rmc coaster that is enclosed with a few daylight popups. also maybe a standup one.

[JayketheKid]

I really think it's a wing rider. But a big one

[IonZer0]

Definitely B&M.
Either a wingrider, flyer, or an invert... But all of those have been done before, right? The park manager's daughter, Leah, posted that it would be the "first of it's kind", so...

Edit: This may be a wild guess, but hints in the article lead me in the direction of a suspended coaster... Plus the park manager's daughter, Leah, posted that it would be the "first of it's kind". But B&M? All I know for sure is that tomorrow will be HUGE!

Edit 2: Can anybody for the love of GOD please figure out what this is?

It's titled in the URL: Mastiff Sketch Believable. Maybe a herring?

[The Stig]

A launch dog? Something about it's chin is drawing my attention.

The other sketch is clearly a blueprint for footers. But look how close together the ones to the right are. A new element perhaps? C66 also has an annotation for a pier. Mysterious, indeed.

Could this be the launched 4D B&M I've been dreaming about?

[Mister Piglette]

Meh. Its a woodie. (Sarcasm galore)

I'm not very good at reading blueprints. Is the dog a metaphor?

Edited by Mister Piglette, 23 July 2014 - 10:45 PM.

[timtimlaz]

I think it could be a laughed coaster. Like Stig said, a launch dog, so maybe a cable launch on a B&M coaster? Probably not though.

[pkiknex25]

I think B&M would be more likely to go with a magnetic launch. There are a lot less mechanical parts that could go wrong (I'm looking at you Dragster...) with magnetic, and we all know B&M is about reliability.

[-=Zach=-]

Most likely B&M, hopefully a new ride type. (4D launched, c'mon!)

Whatever it is, I know I will have my popcorn ready at 8:30.
