Just made this concept of a B&M wing coaster in Action Zone. I give you KeyMaster!

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.

I wonder where the announcement would be if it rains?
GateKeeper's announcement was held outside in the rain.

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!

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.

**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.)

Kings Island replied to a comment on Facebook saying the announcement will in fact be live streamed. Details to come next week.

I'm not sure if everybody saw this, but here's a countdown to the announcement if anyone wanted to see the exact time. https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20190815T10&p0=2509&msg=Kings+Island+2020+announcement&font=sanserif
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.

Wouldnt making a tunnel be heard because almost at the end of the ride you have that head chopper moment under the drop coming out of the helix?
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.

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.

I don't know if this has been said yet, but we can probably expect something unique with this coaster. Kings Island likes to do that.
Firehawk was a rare model
Diamondback's splashdown
Banshee's length
Mystic Timber's shed and that intense zig zag before the shed
We can surely expect either a world record or a unique element (inversion...?)

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.

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.

i wouldnt be surprised to a piece of track go up before the announcement, if not before then i bet within a week after the announcement. They wont waste any time.
Diamondback track arrived early in 2008. Like July! So maybe we could see track soon.

**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.

If they really wanted to, they could probably set up a temporary stand or use FoF former photo area. Not a walk in gift shop, but certainly large enough to have a counter and some T-shirts behind it.
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.

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.

So do you think they'll project the announcement on the FOF building? Probably the hanger like portion that has the red doors? I see enough room there for a stage to be set up and the video played above it on the wall.

I'm not sure if this is real or if we are being trolled. Opinions?
Obviously trolling lol. People just love to think The Beast Unleashed thing is real!

I just rode Griffon for the first time last week and I must say I didn’t expect much from this coaster but wow KI needs one these next. So smooth and the layout is so graceful. Such an awesome ride.
I don't want a dive. But if we get one I won't whine and complain.
-
I wonder if Kings Island will leave us with some type of thing to speculate on after the announcement. I'm starting to doubt it myself, but anything's possible.

Yes please @sixohdieselrage I would be one happy guy if you went on another flight over KI and CSF.

When do you all think they'll put a poster up on the fence about the announcement date? I know they had one for Mystic Timbers and they already announced the date for this one.

I tried my best to draw but here: if they where to clear more land or something here would be my preffered layout, the first part is a little bit like the layout,
height is 205 and drop is 215 into ravine
1. large banked turn
2. reverse turn around or whatever you call it lol
3.close to the ground banked turn
4.large airtime hill
5.low to the ground turn, what ever you call it
6. another large banked turn
7. small speed/airtime hill into brake run
Someone should make a pov of my layout if you have the time or if you want to.... you dont have to.... please someone make it lol
So you want them to build a second hyper that's smaller than their current hyper?

I was looking at the blueprints and it doesn't look like they're using the old Firehawk queue for anything. I wonder what the could be doing with it?
Looks like they are using it for FOF next year as an extended queue.

Is it just me or does it look like there are stars in the background of that poster?
