Actually, a dark ride would be an excellent choice. It's about time (or I would argue past time) that Boo Blasters on Boo Hill is gutted and replaced. There has been a history of re-vamping that building to use as a different attraction. Honestly, I wouldn't mind an actual Haunted House dark ride. Then again, maybe it's not the right area for such an attraction.
I wish they had turned the old Crypt building into a dark ride "coaster" like the rumor was a few years ago

Def need some Waterpark improvements. A new slide complex, an additional restroom, more changing stalls etc. I haven't heard any rumors, and honestly would be surprised if they do this but it is sorely needed.
I agree with this, 6 years is a long time without anything for the water park. I think what is most interesting to me is that the park could really upgrade or add anything in every area of the park, and it wouldn't be a surprise, except a roller coaster, of course. The park is due for water park improvements, a thrill ride, flat ride, kids ride, my personal choice would be a dark ride, but I don't make the decisions haha

I'd have to imagine the next addition to the park is in Planet Snoopy, I could see it being an overhaul into Camp Snoopy or something like that. I just think that they are going to try to reclaim the "Best Children's Park" award. Also, while I don't think it will be next year, I do think a new coaster is coming sooner rather than later. I've been OOTL for a while, but, last I remember the speculation was that KI's next coaster would be a Mack Multi-launch coaster in the old Vortex spot. Either way, hopefully we don't have to wait much longer!

I mean marketing is going to be able to make up dozens of records like they always do but at the end of day do people really care about some of the “records”. In terms of the big 3 records out there (Height, Speed & length) I doubt it’ll break any of those, I’m sure there’s going to be records it’ll break (I already mentioned it’d probably break the North American records) but who really cares about a lot of these records? You can spin almost any coaster to break some records, you could theoretically say Banshee broke the records for “First invert with vest restraints, Only B&M invert with no pre-drop”. Records for the most part are just for marketing.
Marketing will always find ways to hype up their product that's true, but I do think people care about the records, having the "big three" records would make the giga a huge draw worldwide. If Kings Island comes out with just a standard giga coaster, just to say theres one at ki, then those people not in the Kings Island area won't circle Kings Island as a "must see" kinda trip. So to us that have passes and such it may not mean as much, but it would mean a lot to the guy in California that was considering not going to Kings Island that year cause its "out of the way" or something. And besides KI is our home track we should want it to have the best of the best lol, lets just have some fun y'all and not be uptight.

Other than any park records that it might set I dont think a Kings Island giga coaster would set any world records.
With the amount of land and resources Kings Island will have for a giga coaster... it will break at least one world record, a lot of reddit enthusiasts think the coaster could have a 400ft drop!

Theming is all fine and dandy, but at the end of the day a terrain coaster has more theming by default than a parking lot coaster like Fury 325 so I say spend the money on getting us a record breaking coaster.

I don't know about a madhouse dark ride, but I remember a couple years ago when everyone thought we would get a Triotech ride, I could still see that coming.

Anyone think our Giga will be longer than Fury?
Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
Personally I think it will beat Fury in most stats, with the use of the terrain and all the resources the park has, when we get the giga it should be the best one in the world.
Just for reference, Fury stats: Height- 325ft Drop-320ft Length-6,602ft Speed-95mph
Ours should have a bigger drop, be longer, and have a higher max speed than Fury, given the terrain and money that Kings Island has probably saved for this ride.

Are environmental regulations really that hard and costly to follow?

Your favorite park is one that you have never been to and no longer exists?
I never said it was my favorite, I just said that it was one of my favorites. Thats mostly because I love the history of the park.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I love the visible green on Firehawk, its makes me think of Geagua Lake and,while I've never been there, that is one of my favorite parks.

I don't think that Kings Island will add anything to the park that will cost them to much money after getting mystic timbers, as much as I want a triotech dark ride in the old Tomb Raider building, I do however think that the park will add a new restaurant like rhyano said. That or a Mass Effect ride or a Plants vs. Zombies ride in the old action theater location.

I would like to see a Giga Coaster come to KI. MF used to be my favorite, but after going to Carowinds, Fury 325 became my favorite. If they could get a B&M Giga like that at KI which would be alot closer to home, that would be awesome. Although, CF may not see the need for one as they have one at CP which is only about 3 hours north. But then again, they also have an invert and a hyper coaster there.
There is no doubt in my mind that Kings Island will get a giga coaster. I think its going to come for the 50th anniversary of the park.

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Posted
I think it would be awesome to have DC themed rides at the park. The big question though, is what kind of theming do we get? If they paint The Bat black and call it Batman the ride, then it sucks, but how cool would it be to have a Batman ride with the theming of the old Batman coaster at Astroworld when it was around? While more recent rides haven't gotten that kind of love, I remain optimistic now that Cedar Fair would hav input into the theming.
