I believe they'll start on the transfer/storage shed first.

There aren’t giant lift supports on a trailer and about to be shipped
So the supports are going to get to Kings Island not on a trailer?

There is so much track back there!! Also a second crane is on site, larger than the first but still not one that is tall enough to erect the lift.
They usually start on the transfer/maintenance shed first

How about KICentral and the Kings Island season passholders Facebook partner to do this!

Ressurrecting an old thread. Over 10 years later, boy do I wish we could do something like this again sometime. Like a KI scavenger hunt would be super cool to do again! And ERT on MT, Banshee, DB, and/or Orion!

If I had $849, I would be upgrading my drum set!

My opinion is based on the historical fact of the soon to be 5 coasters and 15 years of Cedar Fair's owning of KI (if you count 2020), that they have not installed one.
But, I could see them every once in a while going record breaking.

I think it is comical that a lot of people are predicting a record breaking RMC for the next coaster at KI. I do believe it will be a ground up RMC hybrid, but it will have similar stats to Twisted Timbers, not SV. Cedar Fair has obviously shown us that they are not interested in building record breaking rides at KI (with the exception of Banshee's longest inverted coaster record, which no one really cares about). The good news is that Twisted Timbers is a great ride.
Just because they didn't go record breaking with MT or Orion, doesn't mean they never will go record breaking again. Going after records on a giga is way more expensive. I believe going after a wooden coaster record with RMC topper track would be cheaper.

KI is too high a capacity park to get a raptor. Its like everyone forgets that they can also make T-Rex track.
I could see Trex. But I believe RMC wants to sell more raptors first before going with the Trex.

You know Jersey Devil looks to have 12 riders per train which is pretty large for an RMC Raptor. I was thinking, what if we get an RMC Raptor, but larger so that we can aim for like 13-16 riders.

At least they interviewed some enthusiasts this time, @Magenta Lizard and myself.
Yeah that's good! John Matarese actually interviewed kids when the SOB stuff was going around last summer.

The GP is clueless lol, no offense
Oh yeah. I actually love it when the news media interviews the GP about a new coaster especially before it's even announced.

Does anyone know when vertical construction for Diamondback started?

I wish they could go back to the way the old maps looked.
Here is the 2009 map:

Just looked through part of Banshee's construction thread and it seems like they started vertical construction earlier for Banshee than Orion. Like the end of August, the transfer table was up. Kinda interesting since Orion is a larger coaster. Also, someone used the layout rendering picture to show progress and see what part of the layout is completed. Would love to see someone do something similar.
Here's a picture example of what I'm talking about from the Banshee construction thread. The user who did this was @davidw
Edit: Here is a link to where the photo was found. I must follow TOS:

I would like to see a changing color LED system lighting the supports like what Millennium Force has. I would also like to see a traveling LED light thing going up the lift rail similar to Racer.

Wouldn't it be funny if they had a music festival themed area that exclusively had Port-O-Lets? Not like Jungle Jim's, but like REAL Port-O-Lets.
Which music festival? Woodstock? Warped Tour? Summerfest?

Yeah just put porta potties in Area 72! Here's your Area 72 restrooms that you wanted! Hahaha! Or just put porta potties in the queue for Orion for the opening weekend 4+ hour lines!

Did anyone see the farmers almanac forecast for winter? There are actually 2 farmers almanacs- Old Farmers Almanac and Farmers Almanac. They are completely different. One is forecasting a “Polar Coaster” for winter for us. Maybe we should re-name Orion to Polar Coaster until next Spring? It wouldn’t be Cincinnati if a really large project didn’t have to fight the brutal Cincinnati winter!
Oh yeah! That's part of building a coaster up here! I know Banshee they had to battle an extreme cold and brutal winter to get that coaster up. Also, I think due to that, they'll probably try and get the lift and drop in place before Winter due to extreme cold.

RMC Racer will not happen as long as Don Helbig is around.

The park said in this blog post that vertical construction won't start until after Labor Day.

What comes after the 2020 Giga?

It would most likely have the vest restraints that all b&m wings have. But probably the improved version that Yukon Striker has.
