KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 After catching up on the last five pages, I thank God most of you aren't in the amusement park industry. Carry on... Why? What's so bad about coaster enthusiasts speculating on a new ride and getting excited about it? Yeah maybe are thoughts go off on tangents every so often buts it's all in fun. We enjoy the thought of what's going on here and want to try to put the clues together. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayblazer Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 @KingsIslandPR: I'm about to dive in on putting together the information on something our guests are going to really enjoy. I have a feeling Mr. Helbig really enjoys his job... And I enjoy the job he does, he truly understands the "dance" . He does such a good job keeping our interest while not spoiling the "Moment". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. My Rct3 park is thriving at the moment... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all Kings Island's Twitter followers are enthusiasts, you know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesharrison Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Just rode Firehawk and noticed construction signs back on the access road that leads behind Flight of Fears building that had the same design/theme to it as the teaser signs do. Probably just that--construction signs, but thought it was interesting to note none the less. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 ^^ So sometimes he says things that only an enthusiast would read into. See, the "dive in to his work" comment. It ignites enthusiasts, but does no harm or confusion to casual followers. It's not that he wants people confused, but his job at times is to mislead, then lurch forward through a hint, then retract that hint as if we read too much into it (and maybe we did), etc. It's a balance of building excitement. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well, if that's what he's going for, I think it has something to do with Soak City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBEASTunchained Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Interesting picture....Wonder what the triangular-ish tarp/concrete slab is?.... But on another note.... Who remembers these teaser signs?.....I do... (Photo Courtesy of Robbie Zerhusen) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Well based on that tweet I would say that we are getting a show like Dive! at Holiday World featuring Mr. Helbig as the main performer! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PankWank Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I hope to god it's not a dive machine. I think it shall be a giga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 When last did Cedar Fair clues actually point to the final result when viewed with 20-20 hindsight? At least Paramount Parks had the "Drop this far...", then the project got cancelled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayblazer Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I think a 300 foot high dive machine might be kind of awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PankWank Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Considering the amount of space that is being used for the construction, It will be something massive. A dive machine would not be big enough for all that space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 You don't know if all of Son of Beast's lot will be used for the new coaster. The only work we've seen thus far is in Thunder Alley's former spot. I don't believe a Dive Machine should be ruled out just yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06jds377 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Just a quick thought on footings.. I hold no engineering degree, but, I'm inclined to think that the shape and size of footings is a lot more likely to be relative to the type of ground they're sat in and what sorts of loads will be placed on them rather than being mfg specific. I would only look to the bolt patterns in the footings as a clue to whose ride is being installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayblazer Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 right i kind of like the idea of a Vortex sized coaster and a park expansion with some new flats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfanatic83 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I wouldn't mind a dive machine at Kings Island. It certainly would be a DIVErsion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Maybe the constant mentioning of "dive" means we're getting a clone of Dare Devil Dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I would really like to see a glow in the dark paint used on the roller coaster. supports and track look white during day and at night a bright sky blue track with bright yellow supports. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
