Well... Louisville is expecting severe weather tomorrow lol But they could be referring to a Hurricane Bay. But I am doubtful the new attractions announcement will be tomorrow. We may receive an announcement date instead.

Facebook status update posted moments ago... "When it comes to fun.....you can always count on Kentucky Kingdom for the unexpected."

I wonder what type of water slides we are going to see

They really aren't. I mean, their focus right now is to get the full park funtional. T2 in 2015, and TT in 2016. Then the major new investments start rolling in.

Someone from TPR just made an interesting note. But it is just someone's opinion "I was just thinking if the announcement doesn't happen soon, is it perhaps a new coaster concept that will be revealed at IAAPA. They have been able to do a good job with keeping this coaster a mystery."

KICentral meet up day at Kentucky Kingdom? ha

Why did it go bankrupt the first time?

On the parks Instragram page it was confirmed that we will know the date of the announcement tomorrow. I would expect the announcement to be next Thursday or Friday and Season passes going on sale immediately after the announcement. Whenever the day comes, speculation about the park is going to go viral.

Nope... LOL

I spy a couple footers

We were told the first week of November through the media.

I am pretty sure it was the parks facebook page in a comment to a fan of the park. It's pretty obvious too driving past where the ride use to be when the station is the only thing standing.

I wonder if they could even get anything from Intamin for that type of budget? I don't think budget is a concerned. We could be mislead into thinking the park is adding something small because of competition. But whatever it is, it is already paid for. The reason why I say intamin or premier rides is because greezed lighting station is going to be used for this new coaster. That station holds can hold 7 cars for one train. The queue gates where still intact along with the station when I last drove through the KFEC.

I am still rolling with something from Intamin or Premier Rides

Choas and the Quake was dumped months before Six Flags got out of their lease.

I really think this coaster is going to be a surprise. It just does not seem like Ed Hart adding a 6-7 million dollar coaster unless he is adding another prototype.

Next Friday? The Announcement? Either way, it seems we're less than two weeks away!

Well, we just all have to put are opinions forward in November.

A year from now, Hurricane Bay being voted the Number 1 water park in the region. Possible? If Not how could it?

Do any of you think Hurricane Bay will be a eye catcher over Splashin Safari? That is what my mind is starting to lean towards

T2 will be renamed "T3" http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20131010/NEWS01/310100118/Thunder-Run-Kentucky-Kingdom-up-running

Ed Hart rides a roller coaster for the first time in many years http://www.wlky.com/news/local-news/louisville-news/kentucky-kingdom-holds-test-run-of-classis-wooden-roller-coaster/-/9718340/22373056/-/e6tua3/-/index.html

Here is one news story. The Ride also has a new logo. http://www.wdrb.com/story/23661212/classic-kentucky-kingdom-coaster-opens-for-first-time-in-five-years

So Thunder Run is official operational to public (to the media people)...Cant wait to see some video footage this evening. Here is a pov video of Thunder Run. http://www.wlky.com/news/entertainment/Raw-video-Thunder-Run-rolls-again/-/9365716/22373892/-/pncwu5z/-/index.html

This is from the press release (June 27) from the parks website. I also want to see what this lazy river is going to be about.
