  1. I have an idea for a GCI. Follow the black only for if they do remove RFYLCB, and follow the black and the orange for if they keep it. Also I do realise it's probably really off proportion wise, and that Diamondback goes over the train, but I wasn't paying too much attention to details like that at the time lol.

  2. I mean kinda. B&M actually calls their Gigas Hypercoasters because Intamin trademarked Gigacoaster. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  3. Leviathan because it's a shorter ride both length wise and height wise Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  4. Leviathan vs Fury 325Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  5. Oki, so here are my new and updated thoughts on this whole matter. First, survey markers: what do they mean?? Pink: "Temporary survey marker" Orange: "Communication, alarm, or signal line" White: "Planned Excavation" Source: http://www.missutility.net/searchstatus/colorcodes.asp EDIT: Accidentally posted before i finished writing, herers the rest of this post. Second: If most of the markers are pink and orange, with only a few white ones, i'd say they're just putting in wires and doing general surveying. Besides removing trees, has anyone seen any actual excavation? Third: With the sheer amount of survey markers, I would say its probably going to be a woodie. Unless they're putting in a giga and the break run / transfer table is going to be curved, and 3 feet from the train. Fourth: I dont know how true this is, but i've heard from fellow Kings Island employees that there is some land clearing going on in X-Base near Flight of Fear. If this is true, it could correspond with the land that was being cleared behind Banshee during the off season. Maybe they'll get a giga in 2018 or 19 in X-Base. While they're at it, they could get new bathrooms over there. TL;DR, I think they'll get a wooden coaster in Rivertown this year, and a Giga in X-Base/behind Banshee in 2018/19.

  7. The Smiler. I love that ride, (i haven't been on it, but it looks fantastic) and i think it would be a great fit here. (in X-Base, maybe) (but make sure to apply Kings Island's safety standards to it so it doesn't crash)
  8. Oh sorry I didn't know I wasn't allowed to exclaim. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  9. THAT SOUNDS SUPER PLAUSIBLE Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  10. So i was looking through some Cedar Fair trademarks, and there was one called Stratosaur. (I know it says it's dead, but the trademark "Kings Island" also said it was dead. Idk how accurate this trademark site is) Anyway, maybe this will be the name of our next coaster? Maybe its hinting that the next coaster will be a stratacoaster?? 0_o Edit: Centurion is still on the list btw
  11. Ugh why is everyone so hell-bent on taking out Vortex Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  12. Not to mention, Fury 325 comes pretty close to Intimidator.
  13. Actually, Dodonpa at Fuji Q Highland accelerates almost that fast. (108mph in 1.8 seconds)
  14. At Drop Tower (i work there): "Is this ride fast?" also, "Is this ride tall?" *facepalms* and even "Does this ride drop?" Also a large amount of guests ask me to "make it drop slower this time" or "make sure their feet wont get cut off" like sheesh, i'm not even in the drive box. Also, i'm not sure if I've posted this in the past, but its my favorite: At Flight of Fear: Guest: "this ride rockets you off from zero to one hundred miles per hour in only one second!" Guest's friend: "Oh my gosh that is amazing how does it do that" Guest (in a matter of fact tone of voice): "It uses this thing called 'Laser Induction Modifiers' and it's invisible lasers that shoot at the back of the cart and push you really fast.
  15. Nope. Also, I am 100% sure that the whole bat picture is not a tease, it is simply an error from Accesso. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  16. I know, it's just a quick concept, not an official rendering. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  17. Yeah but this time its been multiple pictures of the flume. Last year they just said "two things from 1972". Plus they didn't tease the new tolls until August or September I think. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  18. I'll go get a screenshot, brb! Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  19. Here's a quick concept coaster I made in NoLimits! (Sorry I didn't have time to support Diamondback) Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  20. Reservoir? What reservoir? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  21. *gets out computer to make a mock-up of possible coasters in NL2 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  22. Ok good that's how I pronounced it before but I wasn't sure. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  23. Wait so is HUSS pronounced "whose" or HUSS ( us with an h) ? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
  24. Here's my two cents. Idk if y'all have already discussed this, (i'm really lazy and didn't read all 29 pages of this thread) but on Snapchat, Kings Island posted a couple of snaps that could be teasing the possibility of removing RFYLCB. Here's a link to a Facebook post with screenshots from Coaster Studios. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1597811953827128&id=1376820432592949 IF they decide to remove RFYLCB, I would take a guess at a Giga for 2017, because there's even more room for expanding that way. If they do NOT decide to remove it, i would guess at either RMC or GCI or even possibly a dive coaster. (hey, they said FALLING trees) Anyway, those are just my current thoughts. Expect some Google Maps drawings in MS Paint soon! EDIT: I read more, and it turns out y'all have already discussed the whole Snapchat thing.
