fryoj 4176 Posted April 19 We have our first on site piece of evidence of construction for 2020. Let the games begin. Source: https://www.facebook.com/fyecoasters/ Add this to what we already know. Plans were filed in August 2018 with Warren county named the "2018, 2019, 2020 Additions and Modifications to Kings Island Park" with Bolliger and Mabillard named as Contractors. Source: https://oh3laredo.fidlar.com/OHWarren/AvaWeb/#!/search Courtesy of @Bansheeback here are the plans submitted to the city of Mason concerning the project. Both have been verified as legitimate as multiple members of the site have gone to the building department to get a copy. Here are the foundation plans of the station, storage shed/transfer track, lift hill and final brake run. http://bit.ly/kix2020 Here are scans of electrical site plan which includes the ride layout, queue building design, and a lot more. bit.ly/kipx2020 15 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FUN&ONLY! 1661 Posted April 19 If the park is truly about bringing the people what they want like they say they are, it must be a giga coaster as I do not hear many people screaming for a dive coaster or a wing coaster! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fryoj 4176 Posted April 19 Give or take, this looks like the area they have cleared from the pic. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FoF96" 1874 Posted April 19 I wonder if they’re finished clearing? Because that certainly doesn’t scream GIGA yet to me 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn’t look big enough for a giga They still have the cleared land behind Banshee if they chose to take some of the ride back that way! Who knows... they may be using some of the land for an X-Base expansion, and if they do that, they will almost certainly want to top it off with a new coaster of some sort! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turtlepower 491 Posted April 19 This better be for a wing or a dive coaster. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starlitfire 192 Posted April 19 This is where the fun begins. Hoping that it is finally the giga, knowing that there isn't enough land cleared yet makes me believe land clearing isn't complete yet. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben43065 1427 Posted April 19 How do you guys feel about how close the clearing is to racer? Personally I’d rather the coaster be far away from everything but who knows, this could be a turn around. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Codyfryguy 727 Posted April 19 I personally like the idea of x-base being expanded through that area..Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenban 2146 Posted April 19 Having looked at topographical maps of the area before, this does not surprise me. There is a ridge heading towards the river of mostly flat ground. If I remember correctly it is where that maintenance road that follows the edge of The Racer and then goes off the picture is located. Likely land clearing is going to follow that road. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoasterMegRN 139 Posted April 19 Long time reader popping out of the shadows to say how excited I am for another season of decoding and speculation! I'm definitely on team Giga after riding Fury 325 but trying not to get my hopes up. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeastlyTerri 20 Posted April 19 Did anyone else see that building being built back in the trees next to the clearing? I wonder what that would be for? I can't imagine a loading station that far out so I was thinking it could be a keyhole building like the barn thunderbird has at holiday world 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of that road the are building a new building next to the clearing. I seen trucks and one small bulldozer next to the building this evening from racer.

That clearing is where the fireworks have been launched from in previous years, and a building was built there for a haunt. It seems way too early in the construction process to be building a building for the coater. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it looks like a bridge or maybe a small pole barn. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
