Maybe Kings Island counts Surf Dog as a roller-coaster the same way Cedar Point counts Pipe Scream as a roller-coaster.

I'm sure this topic will get locked soon, but I want to make my last post in this topic. I think the shed is a quick little animation and the train will slowly creep back into the station afterwards. I doubt we'll see a drop track, just my two cents on that.

I'm super excited for this roller-coaster; welcome to KI Central!

What does the RT mean in this tweet?

I know this is a random statement here, but It's going to feel different in rivertown next year with this new wooden roller-coaster. Yes I still think this will be a wooden roller-coaster. The reason it will be different is because all these years that I've visited Kings Island, those trees have always been there. Now next year, I'll be where the trees used to be. I guess you could call me a tree hugger in a way, but at the same time, I'm excited for this new roller-coaster experience.

^ I wonder what the lumber pieces are from? Also was that wood in a white tarp like it was shown in the previous pages?

Would it be conflict of interest for both companies to work together on the same project? I feel like that would be a cool concept if they worked together. Also did anyone see my comment about recycling the name Rougarou for this project? It was a couple pages back.

I'm guessing that Thrill Biscuit is a video editor or graphic designer.

^ Where did you find that Thrill biscuit? That's really cool!

In all seriousness, is it possible that they could re-use the Rougarou name? Rougarou is in my top 5 at Cedar Point and I can't see why recycling the name would be a big deal. I feel like this new wooden roller-coaster would fit that name. Yes it's not over a swamp, but it's in the woods. And ware-wolfs usually hide in the woods.

Shirley you can't be serious? Lol

If they build it right this time and not rush it, go for the 200 foot wooden roller coaster, but I'd be happy with what other people are predicting the height to be. I like whoever said that this thing would be awesome if it was built like Prowler. My call/guess is a GCI wooden roller-coaster.

^^ I guess Intamin must like their wood a lot then. Lol

Where is Apocalypse located at?

Whatever this wooden roller coaster is, I think this will have a curving drop similar to Legend at Holiday World. I think the station will be behind that scenic train stop. I hope everyone knows what I'm talking about with that. And knowing Cedar Fair, they'll introduce something new that we haven't seen on a wooden roller-coaster. This is strictly just my opinion here.

Wow! I can't believe I miss-read that. Good grief!

What blue track? I'm confused.

Too bad we can't use the name Hippogrif, which was also a creature in Harry Potter.

I don't know about Thriller GavPenn. When I think of the word Thriller, I think of Michael Jackson with his halloween hit, but hey it could happen.

Here's a crazy question. What do they need a retaining wall for? Why couldn't they just leave the trees there?

What ever happened to that one kid who predicted how many pages this topic would go?

I sure hope this announcement is live online. I can't take off work the next day. People have been saying Splintercat on here and I have to say that sounds catchy to me. I know not everyone will agree with me on that statement, but it's original.

GavPenn, do you think they might try to bring back the loop like they had before? Not barrel rolls, but a loop! I thought that was the coolest thing about SOB. The rest of the ride was just downright painful.

I don't know if this is related or unrelated, but there was a tweet saying summer isn't complete without a Race for your life Charlie Brown on it. I plan to ride that this weekend just in case something is happening to it.

^^ The snickers because we all might get a little hostile when we're hungry?
