  1. **DOUBLE POST** Are we sure that it's for KI or could it also be for Candymonium?
  2. I'm currently sticking with the 296'/301' height/drop. But if I'm wrong and it's higher, I'll gladly eat my words!
  3. I've been there on dead days where they've ran both.
  4. Probably the wheel game. I know that someone who was in front of me in line for Mystic that night got one and got to use it.
  5. It was. Lazytown Sporticopters was the name. Mainly named after Sportacus' Airship. That's mainly why that song makes me think of the Nickelodeon days of Kings Island because I rode that ride a lot when I was little. Even though they never played that song (at least when I was there).
  6. Resurrecting the thread again. I know I'm a little old for this. I'm 17 years old, but this song from the show Lazytown actually makes me think of the Nickelodeon days of Kings Island!
  7. Banshee FLP was crazy opening day, but they didn't do a large season pass preview event for Banshee and they were handing out free shirts for the first 5,000 riders. Didn't do that for Mystic Timbers. MT I was there for pass preview and they didn't use the FLP. Not sure on opening day though. I do know that on season pass preview for mystic, some people did get front of line passes.
  8. Someone thought it was Fred Grubb walking around with Greg Scheid. It wasn't confirmed it was Fred Grubb though.
  9. Is it just me or does it look like there are stars in the background of that poster?
  10. Just made this concept of a B&M wing coaster in Action Zone. I give you KeyMaster!
  11. I know that this is a horrible drawing, but I think a tunnel at the bottom of the turnaround would be really cool. Like if you are in fact going to be spiraling down, it would be very neat to spiral down into the tunnel. Note: the tunnel is gray because the background is black.
  12. GateKeeper's announcement was held outside in the rain.
  13. I know you can't really trust these, but here's next Thursday night's weather forecast! Hopefully it stays this way since it would be fitting to have the announcement under the stars on a clear night!
  14. I looked at the MT leaked layout and it doesn't have the tunnel listed on the turnaround. So an above ground tunnel isn't out of the question right now.
  15. **TRIPLE POST** I understand the inactivity though due to the big announcement coming up. Anyways, here is an idea I made for an Intamin blitz where BLSC is. It'd make that area part of Rivertown. Plus an interactive queue line all inside a barn. A two level barn so there is switchbacks on both levels. I give you Mustang! (Yes, I'm aware that was the rumored name for Diamondback.)
  16. Kings Island replied to a comment on Facebook saying the announcement will in fact be live streamed. Details to come next week.
  17. That was I believe created by a user on the forums here. Edit: the timer also says 10:00 am not pm. The announcement is at 10 pm.
  18. I'm talking after that. It would be at the very bottom of the drop pullout (similar to Leviathan). The headchopper moment is at the beginning of the pullout. Also, it would be nice to have multiple tunnels, but I'm not so sure if we'll see more than one or two. My vote for two tunnels would be 1) bottom of drop pullout and 2) bottom of helix that goes under drop. Another idea I've had is at the bottom of the turnaround where you spiral down into the tunnel. That would be fun.
  19. I really think that if Kings Island doesn't do a tunnel at the bottom of the first drop, they will be missing out. A tunnel would be perfect for a space like/ sci-fi themed coaster.
  20. Maybe a themed tunnel at the first drop. Not just a tunnel that you go through like Leviathan, but a tunnel with theming. Maybe fog or a light effect simulating traveling through space.
  21. Speaking of countdowns, I wonder why Kings Island doesn't have a countdown to the announcement on their website yet. It's less than a week until the announcement.
  22. Diamondback track arrived early in 2008. Like July! So maybe we could see track soon.
  23. **DOUBLE POST** I was also thinking. What if they took out Backlot Stunt Coaster and put in something like Maverick in that spot. I know not likely since Cedar Fair isn't likely going to work with Intamin anytime soon. But they could maybe theme it to Rivertown since BLSC is sorta in Rivertown and at the same time, not really. I think that area would look much better tied into Rivertown and with a multi launch coaster or blitz.
  24. I've had the idea before where they could convert the former FOF photo area into a gift shop. I know it's not too likely, but it's possible. I think we're going to see more than just the coaster to that area. Cedar Fair doesn't usually just plop a coaster in an area without doing other things in that area. I think we'll see the concrete ripped up and replaced with pavers next year as well.
  25. Also, where do you all think they will sell merch for this coaster? According to the blueprints, there doesn't look to be any gift shop. Maybe they'll do one separately or maybe they'll sell merch for it around the park? It's understandable why they didn't do a gift shop for Mystic Timbers since there are already a gift shop right next to it. But there is no gift shop right there by the coaster. I'm just curious.
