  1. I highly highly doubt that anything that's happened on this forum has impacted Kings Islands plans regarding unveiling this thing. What have you seen that makes you think the local media is "hounding" the park? Do you think that Kings Island wasn't expecting the media to ask questions when they started clearing a large section of the park and filing blueprints for a new roller coaster? I'd also have to ask, to what end do you think the park would decide to withhold dropping hints about the ride in response to all this? Would it be to punish enthusiasts? Would it be to punish John Materese (who I'm sure they feel does more good than harm by reporting about the park)? I really do think we should put this idea that we "ruined" the ride for ourselves to bed once and for all. The entire stated purpose of this thread was to figure out what the new coaster was. Maybe it was figured out more quickly than some would have liked, but could that just be because over the past few additions this forum has gotten better at piecing these things together? Should the members of this forum that did the heavy lifting on this thing ( @fryoj, @BSBMX @Bansheeback, @RuthlessAirtime, @DustinTheNowamong others) have done a worse job? In any case, this will continue to happen each and every time the park begins construction on something new for the foreseeable future, unless the park decides to change the order in which they do things, or laws change. If Kings Island wants to spill the beans themselves, the only option they really have is to unveil the ride before they file blueprints. Short of doing that, or policy changing somehow regarding these things, this will happen within days of them filing the blueprints every time. I have to assume they know this, and have decided they would rather have the prints get out, than disrupt their own timeline just to get ahead of coaster enthusiasts . If you don't want to know the details of the ride before the announcement (which I totally get, btw) your best bet would be to avoid Youtube videos about the subject, r/rollercoasters threads about the subject, and DEFINITELY threads like this. I know it probably sounds like it, but I'm not trying to be hostile here at all. @JAHill this is not really directed at you, by the way, it's just something that's come up multiple times here, and I'm just unsure of what people on this forum actually want. You can't open up a Decoding thread, then get upset when things get decoded. There is absolutely something to be said for waiting to find out anything until the announcement, I totally get that and I think anyone that want's to experience it that way should absolutely do so. The good news is, unlike Star Wars or Avengers, there isn't anyone jumping out of their skin to spoil it for you. I know for a fact that the only reason I'm aware of Project X is because I sought this information out. Trust me when I say the vast majority of people around our area, even if they enjoy Kings Island, are almost completely oblivious to all of this.
  2. You can pretty much bet this is what's going to happen
  3. That sounds like it could be kind of futuristic
  4. This has got to be one of the most popular words to throw around of this entire decade. I really do think it's weird when someone applies it to something like this. It's not that serious man, we're a bunch of eager enthusiasts desperately wanting someone to put up a goofy sign on a fence or something, it's gonna be ok. lol
  5. It was me, I was hoping they were trying to tell us something with these but according to @KIghostguy they've stocked those for a couple years now.
  6. I haven't been on it, nor did I claim to have been or make any comments on it's quality. You implied people don't complain about how short it is, and I'm saying that's not true.
  7. I have absolutely heard people complain about Leviathans length. It's notoriously short.
  8. @Maverick44 whats wrong with this thread? The way I see it this forum is verging on dead activity wise, why not allow threads to blossom and fail on their own? Personally I do think The Beast is a bit too rough. That ride needs some love. I've had some pretty good rides on it but I've also had some abysmal rides as well. When I go to the park with my wife we avoid it like the plague because it's almost always a day ender for her. I've been on it maybe 5 times this season and had one ride that was so terrible I almost swore it off completely. The thing is trimmed to hell, and the tracks really need some attention. After leaving the second lift hill and heading towards that shed it always feels to me like I'm about to be in a terrible accident, the thang needs work. Just my two cents.
  9. I mean honestly the Paramount days were probably worse than you remember. It was all cracked asphalt and broken theming. There's still work to be done but I feel like CF has really cleaned the place up.
  10. Honestly I feel like the park looks better than it has in a long time.
  11. Lol relax dude, you're at KI not on assignment LMAO
  12. I really do like the idea, but I hope they don't follow up a B&M Giga with another B&M model directly after. That park needs some variety in manufacturers.
  13. I'll definitely give that a shot next time I'm at the park.
  14. What nonsense...there's no way a computer that old could run Windows 10!
  15. Interesting answer. Why second to last?
  16. Oh nice! Good luck man, hope you get it!
  17. Again? Didn't that happen a few days ago as well?
  18. They are doing a great job maintaining all the potholes. I think they even went the extra mile and added a few new ones this year.
  19. I am curious though, what would we be hoping to learn from additional blue prints that we don't already know?
  20. I've been saying for days that they suck at teasing stuff and everyone's been dog piling me lol
  21. A couple of people went to get them the first time. One of them I know was @RuthlessAirtime, the other one will have to forgive me because I don't remember lol.
  22. LOL! That was really it? Just that sign on the fence that was there opening day?
