[Decoding 2020]

Ok guys so this is my first time being part of the speculation concerning a new ride, and I'm really enjoying reading this though I don't have much to add. I do have a question though about something I read in r/Rollercoasters. To keep it brief, in a thread about this very topic a guy said he was more expecting a wing coaster, when I asked why he said this

For starters, I don't think there's been any hard evidence pointing towards a giga outside of people trying to wish it into existence (myself included). They're an incredibly expensive addition, and they've recently only been placed in burgeoning/competitive markets (Toronto, Virginia/DC, Charlotte). Cincinnati is comparatively stagnant so it doesn't make a ton of financial sense to dump that kind of money into Kings Island.

Wing coasters are cheaper, they can get the same type of draw, and it'd objectively be a decent addition to the park. Though, once again, I'd love to be wrong on this.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I get what he's saying about the Cincinnati area, but at the same time it was my understanding that Kings Island is more heavily attended than Carrowinds which does have a Giga, I had also read somewhere that Cedar Fair intended to build Kings Island into more of a destination park than it is right now, though I don't have a source on that.

I didn't catch the very beginning because I assumed it was a normal spiel but definitely said in 2020 they'd be using a new Firehawk steel building system, capable of building over 400 feet tall and able to withstand 95 mph winds. 

Would be really interested in knowing if anyone else heard this form the Ops.

That's awesome! Wife and I are trying to decide whether or not to go like we planned. Weather has me a bit concerned but I want to go.

How is it over there? Worth it for the trip out for preview night?
