  1. A RMC imo would probably be the best for this spot. A nice fast, fun, and thrilling wooden coaster. Where all you can see over the treetops is the lift hill and a few inversions. When I saw those blueprints I immediately thought RMC and it reminded me of Storm Chaser. Kings Island has a great spot here with amazing potential. I know whatever it is, it'll be spectacular. If it isn't a RMC, but a GCI I admit ill be disappointed, but will still be there opening day and plan on riding it every time I visit.

     

    This got me thinking also, do you remember the tweet that KI posted a while ago, with a pic of the land saying "People will definitely come". This made me think RMC even more, because I feel like a GCI won't be as appealing to the GP as a RMC will be. Keep in mind, us enthusiasts love the fun airtime, smooth GCIs. But the GP likes the fastest, highest, most thrilling, most loops etc. And that comes with a RMC. Especially with none being around here except for KK. KI could easily top KK's RMC, and bring back a lot of guests, and enthusiasts. We have the money, terrain, and company for it. Team RMC all the way!

  2. The more I think about it, I feel like it will be a flat. But then I think why would they have markers all the way back? Then I start to think. Remember how they got rid of the Tombstone Terror-Tory train part? Maybe it is because they plan on having the Coaster go through that area, and they don't want it interfering with it. But it could also be as simple as the train making the line take longer. Idk. Ki is confusing me at this moment. Theres plenty of reasons you could think of why it will be a coaster, and why it wont...

  3. If its a coaster we will find out probably early summer(placement of footers). I hope it would be a Blitz, RMC like Outlaw Run, Wing Coaster, or Dive. All those are something the park lacks and they would all fit perfectly with the terrain, and theme of Rivertown. Especially if you were to barely see most of the ride zoom across the treetops. I did not say Giga because, I do not think it is time for one yet, not to mention we just spent $24 Million Dollars on Banshee, and I think it still needs 2-3 years before its topped by a Giga. Gigas are expensive and yes one could probably fit there, but that area is usually crowded as it is, we don't need 3x the people in that area, it'll be a pain for everyone. Yes I want one eventually, I just do not think we NEED one now or in that area.

     

    If it isn't a coaster my second guess would be a Dark Ride in the Crypt building, I don't know why exactly thats just what my mind comes to, every time I walk by the building I feel like construction is going on in there. Most of the ride could fit in the building maybe a few sections where it goes around the building. It does not need to be like Wonder Mountain or Iron Reef, it could be a ride like Mystery Mine at Dollywood, or a good capacity Wild Mouse and I would be fine with that.

     

    And of course if it isn't a Dark Ride I would hope a big Flat or two, I say this because we only have three major flats(see Delirium, Drop Tower, and WindSeeker) and WindSeeker being our latest one in 2011, Its time for a new one imo. A big one like a Screamin' Swing, and maybe another flat but smaller.

     

    I do not think it would be a Water Ride for a few reasons... They are not very popular at least compared to the other attractions, it would not be something to attract the guests we've lost to HW or KK back to the park, plus why would they add a Water Ride to the Amusement Park when we just got a brand new slide complex at Soak City. If they want to get wet they can go to Soak City and go on Tropical Plunge, its included with Amusement Park admission.

     

    Just my opinion.

  4. I truly would not mind getting a coaster like Maverick especially if it is built by B&M or Mack. Cheaper than most, they pack a punch, better reliability and capacity, and more comfortable seating if built by one of those two companies. And it is very popular at Cedar Point and it would be here too Plus I can actually visually see it in my mind being there and fitting perfectly!

  5. I was looking at the Kings Island app on my phone and noticed this while going through the rides section...

    I remember looking at the App about a week ago at Opening Day and the picture was normal it was The Bat like it was supposed to be, now it's change to this? Mistake or? I mean if it was normal before how did it change now, someone had to have gone in and changed it.

     

    I got the photo from Kings Islands Mobile App which can be found on any App Store.

     

    I'm not sure if it is a hint towards something or not.

  7. Maybe they could build something similar to Verbolten from Busch Gardens Williamsburg using most inside and some outside as well. Verbolten has different scenarios with their coaster like Wolves, and the Guardian of the Black Forest etc. Maybe instead KI could use the old goddess that was inside the Tomb Raider/Crypt and use that as a scenario instead! That'd be so cool!

  8. That's a matter of opinion. I did not find it awesome when I did it last year. After a 10 minute wait for a train, followed by more than an hour of waiting in the woods while /only/ the Fright Lane passengers from several trains that came after mine went through the maze (and it being impossible to bail out because the only way back was through), finishing with a walk back through a predictable layout with minimal theming and tired and bored scareactors, I just wished they had let us continue to ride the train through some theming instead of doing the haunt at all. It had better /potential/ with the train, but it was wasted potential in my opinion.

    I remember waiting more than an hour for the train! Ugh I hated it so much. I only go in it once every year.

  9. Ok so are any of the mazes even remotely scary? My wife and I decided to go out there tonight for a couple hours and walked through slaughterhouse, the one that goes through the white water canyon cue and the one that is inside the old crypt building and none of them were remotely scary. They were extremely short as well. Disappointed but may try and go out again another night to try some of the other ones.

    Slaughterhouse is usually pretty scary to me. You may just have gone on one of the bad nights, you get those sometimes. But, if you go again try Blackout.

     

    Just a tip/heads up, I recommend not going through Tombstone Terror-Tory(White Water Canyon Queue) its quite disappointing to most people including myselfand i consider myself easily scared.
