I agree, also I am also thinking it will probably be one of the bigger B&M Hypers.
Who knows, maybe it’s even a Giga coaster!
Well I’m going to take a wild guess and say that it will be similar to Hagrid’s. Most of the cost could be coming from theming

So there is a coaster at Lost Island opening this year called Matugani. I’ll just leave this here…

They could easily plant a bank of white pine around The Beast turnaround and hide it from the midway. White pine grow fast and are relatively inexpensive.
There would still be plenty of room for a coaster
that walkway between Rivertown Pizza and the jukebox diner used to be tree lined Slowly but surely they’ve made it as barren as the rest of the park.
Kings Island Is an ugly park. That’s 100% because of the lack of trees and shade around the park. It’s sister park in Virginia is absolutely gorgeous because it’s tree covered. They can do all the painting they want but the lack of greenery makes the park rather depressing walking during the daytime
Planet Snoopy, the back part of Rivertown, Area 72 Action Zone and the center of the park are totally barren The remodel of I Street was also disappointing considering the small number of trees they planted
with 90+ degrees days it amazes me that these theme parks don’t try to make their customers more comfortable with shade well the walkways and the queues There are numerous rides at Kings Island b with no shade while you wait Shade structures are not that expensive to build
I think Cedar Fair tries to save cost of tree trimming. But it makes some very unpleasant parks
it was disappointing they built Orion so close to The Beast It breaks the isolation And definitely decrease the quality of the night rides
Ugly? No. The front entrance is one of the best in the world and the park does a great job with theming and keeping the park clean. While the park may not have much shade, I think KI is one of the nicest looking parks ever.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIs this the same permit?
Edit: never mind this comment, just figured out it’s proof that the permit is fake

I have no idea how reliable this is but I found it on the Cedar Point Reddit page. Thoughts?

I still feel they would not have painted it if they knew it was going to be removed. Maybe in testing for the season they found the footers or anchors had to be rebuilt?? idk
Well they didn't repaint Vortex, but no one saw Vortex getting removed. Same with Bavarian Beetle actually, they were originally going to reopen Bavarian Beetle after an inspection but found some fatal flaws that ended the ride.

I know that the manufacturer is not the reason you guys are thinking of, but think about what has happened with their past products. First of all, there is Orlando Free Fall. That may not be a good enough reason, but there is also the fact that some of their past slingshots have had their cables snap and injure riders before. I think with that and the Orlando Free Fall incident, KI may not want to test their luck. On top of that, they removed it without anyone knowing.
Edit: I had no idea the ride was 20 years old, so that may be it. However, I'm still half convinced it's because of the manufacturer.

Made an Action Zone expansion based off of what Carowinds is supposedly getting next year:
Rides include:
an S&S scream n swing replacing Congo
a zamperla air race
a zamperla nebulaz
a trabant ride
Also features a new food stand and keeps the Timberwolf stage for shows
I would actually be down for this. KI has some great flats but I feel like they need a couple more standout ones. Skyhawk is one of the best flats imo, so I would like to have one at KI, especially in the Action Zone.

Being a Subway employee myself, this doesn’t sadden me the slightest bit

I posted a video from YouTube on another thread for Scooby's Ghoster coaster. It was the only one I found on there. I don't have any personal footage, but found some.
Couldn't find Bavarian Beetle, outside of a really shaky home video
Thank you so much! We have the screamin demon footage already but the other two are very helpful.

Well I’m giving it another try the next time I go. Maybe it will lose its title as my least favorite adult coaster.
-
The helix didn’t have the gradual banking back then. Looked a lot more aggressive. I honestly can’t wait for this retrack, The Beast absolutely beat me up on my last ride and it is sadly my least favorite adult coaster at KI right now. Hopefully this puts it in the right direction!
Also just to clarify, the drop and the helix were the two roughest parts of the ride. Guess there was a lot of people who noticed this.

I figured it had to be some family thing.
Yeah and I kind of like the name because of this reason. Also, can we all talk about the five back to back airtime hills towards the end?

Ultimately the name isn't that important but...goodness is that a bad name.
The name is in honor of the CEO’s dad because apparently his dad always had a dream of flying a plane to space. Their last name is Arie. So it does have some meaning.

Love the layout and the coaster looks amazing with all of the airtime moments and wacky inversions. But I do have one question.
What is the WORLD is a “chili dip”?

The press release and SEC filing make it sound like Spanos was fired and pushed out by the Board of Directors over the weekend. The new CEO, Selim Bassoul, was the Chairman of the Board and should have a solid understanding of the company.
Yes, like free spin very good very cheap very everywhere
-
My gosh, the CEOs are leaving left and right.
Hopefully this is a good one.

Idk what the antique cars were like, but I don’t think they were unreliable. Getting rid of an unpopular ride for a big attraction (new coaster) in the coming years?
-
Well let’s hope this isn’t a Defiance situation. Excited to see where it goes! Here is a video that goes more in depth.

I believe that is the first time I've ever seen FAAC described as very very rough. I've always found it silky smooth and sneaky fun. Its aim is the 4-7 year old kid and their parents, so I get the boring in comparison to your typical coaster. I've always found it fun.
My worst coaster... Excalibur at ValleyFair! or Cedar Creek Mine Ride.
It’s not the track that’s rough, the trains just have a super bad shakiness and it feels like it’s about to fall apart.

American Dream mall is very similar to this and it took a looooooooong time to develop
Paint any coaster a completely different color
in KI Polls
Posted
I honestly think Orion should have a purple and black color scheme, to make the giga color schemes different. Blue and grey doesn’t exactly scream space to me, even though the color scheme is still pretty pleasing to the eye.
