Yes and no...

Will they add a ride every year? No. They didn't last year.

However, we're not dealing with idiots here. They realize that they need to keep Kings Island in front of people and continue and interest, even on those years that rides aren't added. That's when you see things like the Knievel jump, Wallenda Walk and Major League Eating contest.

The different types of years are exciting in their own ways. Of course everyone enjoys a new ride, but it's also fun to have those years where there's a surprise around every corner.

As much as coaster enthusiasts would like there to be one, there is no "Ride addition schedule" that parks have or anything. They don't add rides every year, or a major coaster every 3 years, or a new area every 10 years, if I'm right they for the most part do it by ear. For example: If attendance is starting to drop they make a 3 or 5 year plan to add some major rides and coasters. If attendance is high then they make a 3 or 5 year plan to do other things, such as food and merch, kiddie areas, etc. The economy also plays a major factor. In 2007 when the economy was good, Cedar Fair decided to build a new B&M Hyper Coaster. A year and a half later when it was finished, the economy was in the toilet. So now they try to stay away from large investments for a while.

In short, you can not expect a new coaster every 3 years or a ride every year, or any of those schedules.

Like competing with a 300 foot steel gigia by adding a 200 foot woodie?

Even when that woodie wins hands down....

They have a 200 ft woodie. Its not running right now lol. Firehawk isnt new. If most remember, it was X-Flight at Geauga Lake. They just painted it a different color and changed its name. Boom, a new coaster in the public's eyes. A saved coaster or just another coaster to ride at Kings Island in ours. Lol.
