So with Hersey Park confirming a B&M hyper for 2020 could we see a B&M hyper and Giga in the same year?? I don’t know I hope so

I’m hoping Cedar Fair was like okay we will give you the giga but you have to remove a current Ride.... DEAL

Can’t think of any good names but something themed to space/flight to go along with Flight of Fear in that section of the park would be cool

With Firehawks removal this pretty much confirms the next coaster to go in that area and with how much space they have opened up with its removal the chances of a giga have only increased just look how much land is available now! I expect a construction fence by winter fest maybe even a teaser sign on the fence at that time.. once Firehawk is closed I expect construction to happen fast especially if it’s a giga coming they will waste no time getting Firehawk out of here and groundwork happening on the giga by opening day 2019 I bet we see signs of something big happening.. I expect a very exciting 2019...

Right the picture of “guessing game” And the picture of beast entrance that also shows outpost 5 material

Chad showalter on Twitter this is his latest post about an hour ago, with these pictures..

These pictures I got from coaster crew on Facebook. The area is lit up tonight in red lights.. another tie to Firehawk in my opinion

I agree it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but WindSeeker makes the most since of how the words play together... ItsBigItsGone doesn’t really make much sense connecting Vortex or Firehawk to it but it does connect WindSeeker also the air is eerily calm which connects WindSeeker not the other 2. I could see it happening but not sure.. maybe that opens up a bigger area for higher volume of people to fit back where spongebob/Days of thunder building is for 2020 attraction to maybe start back that way I don’t know also the maybe gives you more room for antique autos

I am just 20 years but I remember riding Son of Beast a few times. I never got to ride it when it had the loop I wish i could have.. IMO Kings Island has not been the same without it.. It’s PURE size was so intimidating! You could see it for miles walking up to that structure just put people in shock.. just the feel of walking to it in line and the smell of all that wood.. Kings Island never has got that intimidating factor back (A giga 2020 will fix that though).. Even though the ride itself really wasn’t all that impressive just the pure size and feel of it at the park just is something people miss.. from what I do remember it was very rough.. I probably rode it in it’s last year or so, still the roughest ride I’ve ever been on, but you still miss it... anyways just wanted to share my thoughts on SOB that many people agree with... Kings Island needs that intimidating factor back! GIGA

If this were to be a giga I’m sure they will go all out and will be bigger and better than fury.. so I’d say AT LEAST 335ft. And I’d think they would try to get to 100mph

In my opinion it’s pretty much confirmed we will get a B&M in 2020.. you probably have 4 options: dive, wing, giga or something totally new.. Dive is out, Yukon strike will be going in 2019 just north they won’t install dives in back to back years.. I agree Wing coaster hype has really died off and not popular anymore so that is out... that leaves a GIGA or something totally new.. with the facts we know already this looks like a sure thing for a GIGA.. but I would not rule out something new from B&M that we don’t know about who knows.. A giga has been LONG rumored for Kings Island and I believe we will finally see it come to forution.. now I do believe Intamin could bring something excited but B&M is the way to go, and they will make this thing terrific they will try new things and make it different from others and make it even more foreceful and thrilling.. this will surely be a world record breaker in some shape of fashion.. high capacity and reliability is unmatched for B&M I remember riding fury for the first time and was absolutely shocked how fast we were loaded and dispatched, it was fantastically fast.. anyway I can’t wait for the 2019 season and teasers start to come itd be excited if we even got teasers during winterfest... I hope I don’t get hyped up for nothing but this looks to be happening.. hoping for the long lost giga

I agree 100% something is happening and it will come in 2020.. with that paperwork and seeing B&M on their screams GIGA to me.. nothing is done until it’s done but this gets me excited for 2020.. and 2019 teaser season.. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was mention of 2020 in the announcement tomorrow like a comment like “and just wait until 2020” type of comment..

Here’s my wild theory: “Expansion plan Phase one”- I believe there is an expansion in the works that will utilize Son of Beast land and other land. ”Track 2 is no longer in use and has been permanently abandoned”- could this refer to Adventure Express and it’s REMOVAL? I don’t know but that is my theory, Yes.. “Please use outpost 5 shipping and cargo transportation route”- I believe they will be building a new coaster using SOB old station (outpost 5) also other quotes to confirm this theory in the poster as well.. NUMBER 5 IS ALIVE! There you have it... expansion area that will include a new coaster.. there would be an entrance to this new expansion somewhere by coaster entrance AND also at Adventure Express with it being removed.. wild I know expansion idea is wild but the new coaster using sob station is for real possibility

Yeah I believe we won’t be getting an RMC soon. I don’t believe it will be our next coaster so most likely atleast 7+ years.. It will be interesting to see what comes next if it’s not a Giga coming next it will be interesting to see what it will be. I also see them doing something with the old tomb raider building very soon maybe 2019.. could see 2019 as a dark ride in that spot with a couple flat rides in coney mall. It just don’t make much sense to me to only use that building for a haunt only, because it’s located at a high volume traffic area with mystic, Diamondback, and beast riders. It’s kind of an eye sore walking by it with nothing going on. I believe they have plans for it very soon

I believe with RMC it’s different..

I believe Kings Island will have another coaster by 2021 so I wouldn’t believe that Cedar Fair would install same type of ride like a multi launch or dive just 2 years after they were installed at another park they are not six flags.. I don’t think Kings Island ever gets a dive I’m not a fan of them anyways im more concerned with the multi launch coaster which I believe Kings Island needs so if they install one in 2019 at Carowinds I would believe they would install another one just 2 years later

I seen screamscape said a couple days ago, and it looks to be true based on their evidence they had, that carowinds 2019 coaster will be a multi-launch MACK coaster. NOT a GCI which was what was expected if this is true it shocks me. Also with Canada’s wonderland most likely getting a Dive in 2019, I’d say it’s safe to say that Kings Island Next coaster whenever it would be will NOT be a dive or a multi-launch blitz type coaster and they just got an invert and a GCI so that leaves us with a giga as the most likely next coaster for Kings Island IN MY OPINION.

I know it’s nothing but I’m going to bring it up again this picture is continuously being used on Kings Island social media sites. It continues to pop up in a tweet, Instagram pic, etc. the picture is facing toward Action Zone, coney mall, x base section of the park.. again it’s probably nothing but you never know thought I’d bring it up again because they have posted it several times recently..

People have said some trees are Down behind Firehawk, racer and beast.. in my opinion they are probably just random trees that are rotten and need cut down maybe, BUT this is the location people are seeing trees cut down.. hmmm

Sorry I like the back row on coasters as much as anyone BUT on Banshee the front row is by far 100% better than anywhere else on the ride... front row you can see everything and where you are going and it feels faster with air hitting you better.. front row on Banshee is much better than anywhere else edit: I won’t even rode Banshee anywhere else other than the front row anymore because it’s just that much of a difference

I loved watching that video.. I am just 20 years old so I didn’t have knowledge of several things in that video. I also briefly remember riding this ride in its prime but what I can remember I loved.. I love how much theming went into this ride unfortunately I don’t think we will ever see this much theming again.. I also didn’t know this cost 20 MILLION! Wow.. too bad what happened to it

@Hawaiian Coasters 325 oh I didn’t see that. And yes I agree I do not like the name at all but I love the layout

I just found this concept on YouTube. This looks pretty sweet. Read his description too this is at Kings Island right behind Firehawk using no limits 2, this guy did a great job.. this could be my favorite concept I have found.. I like the color as well and location. I don’t like his name but besides that I like it. This location I believe is the most likely spot if we got a giga.

Just another concept of mine.. expanding X-base behind Firehawk...
