IndyGuy4KI Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 On KI's Facebook Page (figured it deserved its own thread!) https://www.facebook.com/visitkingsisland?hc_location=timeline Banshee is not the only new attraction that our guests will be excited about this year. Be sure to check back tomorrow at 4:00pm for an announcement on something else that’s new this year that will appeal to guests of all ages! 11 Quote
WailsLikeABanshee Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Could the Eagles be landing? Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 3 Quote
CoasterOhio Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 We definitely know it's going in Action Zone, Check the Live Camera. 2 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I doubt it is another attraction for this season. That being said, I would love it if the park did add the Flying Eagles back to the park. My guess is that they announce either the live shows for 2014, or officially announce the return of the band organ on the carousel. Although the second part is not really something "new" since it previously used to operate on the Carousel. 4 Quote
sheikra_rocks Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 An attraction can mean ANYTHING. I think they are using their words carefully here. An attraction can be a magic show, remote control boats, a museum, a ride, etc. I doubt it will be a new ride. Why would they take the "New ride" focus off Banshee? 3 Quote
WailsLikeABanshee Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 If it is the Flying Eagles, I hope they allow snapping. I want to learn how to snap them so bad! Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 3 Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I think it's about the marquee sign. Greg Scheid tweeted about it earlier and said stay tuned at the end of it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I547 using Tapatalk 2 Quote

Whatever it is, it certainly won't be as "big" as Banshee, so I don't think it'll be taking any focus from it. Possibly a companion ride. 5 Quote
homestar92 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I've said it in another topic, I'll say it here. The return of the Carowinds Bisch-Rocco scooters, rebranded as the Flying Owls. Done. 7 Quote
Tanna Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I got a pass for Kings Island, and now it seems I'm going to walk into a whole new park. These transformations are amazing considering the economy. 9 Quote
Hendrick Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 "All ages" doesn't really apply to everyone if it's a ride (with a minimum height.) My guess is a show. 6 Quote
LordSkippy Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 It's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be any webcam for Carowinds that we could check to see if their Woodstock Gliders has been disassembled. It's still listed on the Carowinds website, if that means anything. 1 Quote
medford Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 When I see something that says "appeals to guests of all ages" I don't immediatly think "ride" I don't recall if the Eagles or anything like them have a height restriction, but there will be many rides my soon to be 2 year old won't be able to enjoy. And you won't get a lot of grandmas and grandpas on a ride that spins a bunch like the Monster (no height restriction), etc... I could see something like the carousel or more specifically the organ for it as something appealing to guests of all ages. The show lineup would also be something that would work, or perhaps the return of the clown band or something along those lines. I'd love to be wrong, thrilled actually, but I just don't see the return of the Flying Eagles this season. Sometime soon? I think that is very much a possibility. 1 Quote
upstop Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 The circle in Action Zone is looking more and more like a fountain. Dancing water and light show? 6 Quote
CoasterOhio Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 With the way that the most likely area it will be in is (Action Zone Target area) It seems pretty huge, and adding a Stage there would cause some problems for guests trying to get places. Quote

It's still listed on the Carowinds website, if that means anything. We can get Flying Scooters without getting that particular set. I will concede, however, that it would not be the same. 2 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Now that I think about it, they never actually announced the Grand Carousel organ renovation. It was just a Twitter video that someone (Greg?) posted without explaining what it was. I'm going to guess it's that. 2 Quote
homestar92 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hate to double post, but didn't Geauga Lake have a set of Bisch-Rocco Flying Scooters? What happened to those? Could those conceivably be moved to Kings Island? Edit: Thanks to TombRaiderFTW, it wasn't actually a double post. 3 Quote
Gplez90 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Im sticking with a big slash fountain like the one at Cedar Point..... but better 2 Quote
2012Jarrett Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Isn't Kings Dominion getting a lighting package renovation for their Eiffel Tower fountain? I could see it being that. 1 Quote
ohiocolts Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I'm guessing it's whatever new show is going into the KI Theater. 2 Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Guys all the announcement is the park promoting KI Classic the fantasy baseball league of Kings Island Central. If you want in on the league before the park tells the whole world then let me know and I will get you set up. 15 Quote
ohiocolts Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 ^Listen to him. I'm changing my guess to the KI Classic promotion. 5 Quote
APE Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 As long as its not that stupid parade they did the year I worked there I will be happy. 1 Quote
APE Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I would say a restroom for X-base however I dont want to come off as crazy in my prediction. 3 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Well, a restroom would indeed be something for "all ages".... 14 Quote
ki95 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Either the new show for the KI Theater or maybe the new name for SkyFlyer (Screamin Demon?!) 3 Quote
MDMC01 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 When I saw the announcement on Twitter, I first thought Flying Eagles, but then I realized it said "attraction" and my mind immediately jumped to the idea of bringing the rock climbing wall back as it could fit in the Action Zone circle. I know the knowledge of footers on the site may not support this theory (pun intended), but it would still be a cool idea. 1 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hate to say it but this to me sounds like a CF way of making something more than it is..It's being announced on FB mid day. However, I could be wrong, CP did get Slingshot which was a pretty quiet launch. However, in the past, this tactic has worked well in the business, see Tony up at CP..makes something out of nothing..ALOT 3 Quote
