Don keeps posting "dive" teasers on twitter though. A DIVEersion?! HMMM...I also don't think a dive coaster would start construction this early. They are shorter in length and don't take as long to build as hyper's and giga's. Gatekeeper didn't start till much later.

Nice investigating kblanken!

maybe "x-works" is a designation for all Cedar Fair parks only.

are there pictures?? yes i took pics. having trouble uploading them from iPhoto. any suggestion?

"X-Works" is the customer code on all of their track now. It is not a designation for KI. Not true. I looked at another piece of painted track that was there and it said "wing coaster "next to customer. not "x-works"

i hope Man, if I had a dollar for every time "X-Works" gets brought up when a new B&M is being built, I'd have several dollars. I hope it's not a dive coaster.

I think it is a dive coaster. Don has posted a "dive" teaser twice so far on twitter. I drove by the batavia plant today and the forest green parts say "x-works" for the customer on the sticker that is on the bottom of the supports. There were some very big pieces of track on the side that were not painted yet and the sticker also had "x-works" on it. that confirms that this track matches the supports. i remember looking at the Diamondback supports at the plant and they also had x-works as the customer on the sticker. Other track pieces to other parks say something other than "x-works". The track that i saw was also significantly bigger than a hyper or giga coaster.

Leviathan didn't start the station and track until september. i think they have done a lot.

cool. thanks guys.

How does that confirm a giga?

What are the black tarp dividers used for in the excavation area? Anyone know?

Oh....i did not know that.

It looks like they kept the SOB station. why would they keep it if they weren't going to use it? if this is a coaster, that will probably be the station. I just can't figure why else they would keep it.

It is not a random meaningless number at all, it is in fact the ​ Millennium number. Wikipedia has Millenium at 310'

So? What do you think? Teaser?

MF is 310'Leviathan is 306'. there is no other coaster that is 308'....yet. the significance is that they had multiple tweets right before that asking if they were going to have teasers for next year, then the next tweet was 308.

go to KI twitter and then go to Jan. 23. read the tweets right before it too. the guy is asking KI is they will put up teasers and they respond by saying "sometimes in the winter, sometimes never...." then the next tweet is the "308"

I went to KI today and saw the fence with the teaser signs and peaked through and i could clearly see footers being poured where thunder alley used to be. After going on the Eiffel Tower to confirm this, i also realized that this will probably be the station area of what will probably be a new coaster for next year. Kings Island tweeted a teaser a couple of months ago that read "308". I have a feeling that this will be another Leviathan type coaster that will only be better.
