Anyone know where the Firehawk loop went? Last I saw it was on a truck along time ago.

From Reddit, reliability of the source is unknown.

Those are for Hershey Park

All he said was what we already know plus the fact the park will stay open 2 hours later & the announcement will be projected onto the FoF building.

Hmm earlier the post didn’t say that, I think he edited it in.

He didn’t give a date though, making the post kind of useless & vague.

I usually don’t have my phone on me so it won’t really affect me but it’s nice to see parks integrating technology more.

Yes that’s true but the number of elements a ride has also plays a role in how long a ride feels, and as we all know B&M rollercoasters typically are more drawn out.

People have speculated that CGA was supposed to receive a hyper coaster in 2020 but instead they put the money that would have been used to build that coaster and reallocated it to the KI Giga.

I can see a few reasons for why it’s so short 1 - It’s proximity to Cedar Point, It doesn’t sound that unlikely the reason this coaster is short is due to Cedar Fair not wanting to take the spotlight off of their flagship park 2- The high amount of capital they’ve spent this year, half a billion dollars is a very high amount for Cedar Fair 3- If the money really was originally meant for CGA then they’d be the biggest reason it’s so short.

I believe Diamondback track was already there before the announcement though, I wouldn’t say one coaster sets the trend. It wasn’t that long ago when Cedar Fair installed large amounts of coaster track before the announcement. Station track being installed before the announcement isn’t that unreasonable

Not necessarily, I doubt anyone in marketing truly cares if track is being installed before the announcement.

No they’re not, Cedar Fair most likely had hired a firm to produce the commercials. The first year they started to do it was 2013 with Gold striker & GateKeeper. Every year since has used a similar animation style except this year.

As per the animated commercials I haven’t seen any for Yukon Striker or Copperhead strike, anyone know if those rides even have TV commercials? I know Hangtime, Steel Vengeance & Twisted timbers all had them.

After riding Skyhawk at Cedar Point id absolutely LOVE an S&S screamin’ Swing, it’d definitely be my favorite flat in the park.

Yeah Kings Island is definitely ejecting them, I’ve seen 4 party’s this year with their cell phones out all of which were ejected from the park. They often times stack the trains to wait for security to arrive.

Probably nothing, rides break down, it happens.

I’ve gotta go to coaster stock next year.

I do think a B&M Hyper would be a fine addition to the park considering B&M hypers are probably the biggest crowd pleasers ever created.... personally a hyper would be what I’m rooting for but as many like to point out Apollo’s chariot is in the same state so who knows.

I don’t think I’ve heard a lot of people consider Kings Island small, if we’re going to see a new area of the park it’s going to just be X-Base fully becoming a new area. I could see Kings Island build a hotel but I kind of doubt it, maybe a campground one day hopefully but I also doubt that.

A 4 year old would love parade, the parade starts at 8. edit - Thanks for the clarification Bodda, the event starts at 5.

Say what you want about it being too short but dang it looks pretty, great work!

I’m sure someone remembers his name but I recall at the start of this year a music artist (Who I thought did work with Disney?) tweeted out that he was working on a project with Kings Island and that project has turned out to be the parade music.

I’m sure it’s not unheard of, although Banshee is the last ride I’d want to be around when it comes to entering a restricted area. Inverted coasters have a track record of severely injuring those who choose to enter the restricted areas.
