In the public records show above, between plumbers and painters I think I have it cracked.   We are getting a very reliable, high capacity, B&M manufactured restroom in X-Base.

Welcome to KIC! Most of us here like roller coasters a lot, but other types of rides round out the park experience. As a kid, before I got into coasters, my favorite rides were Phantom Theater, K

I like to think BIG... like an entire area re-vamp. My hope is that Coney Mall is getting a complete reno.  It certainly needs it.  I personally think that the addition of the Smokehouse restaura

My actual, non-cheeky guess:

Repainted Racer, new light package, station and queue refurb (with historical queue signage), extensive retrack (possibly by RMC), new trains, and one side runs backwards again.

Loop The Racer, retrack and add in a transition element so that the 2nd half of the ride is ridden backwards all while enhancing the timing aspect to ensure that a true "racing" element is brought back.

Possibilities are great, "tiques, enterprise, ice show to the feshaus, SOB re-do, etc....  Of course of all those ideas, mine is the best (unless KI has something better they reveal tomorrow) :)

Flying Eagles is cool, but KI has to come better then that

Skyride or SOB would be a hard choice for me, My wife and I always mention Skyride when we get tired, but SOB would be a huge win for all

They would not be making the announcement on National Roller Coaster Day if it was the return of the cars, skyride, or any other non roller coaster attraction.

My guess is an announcement of a refurbishment of The Racer, and a return of the backwards facing cars on the blue track.

I have heard rumors of a lighting package on the Racer and a flat ride.

I could see more work being done on The Racer then just lighting but have not heard anything.

Lots of options for a flat ride, one of the flats purchased in Europe was announced for Carowinds but never installed.  Carowinds never reinstalled the flyers after they were removed.  Could be something new even.
