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.

FUN&ONLY! 414 Report post 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 Shawn Meyer, Codyfryguy, Bansheeback and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FoF96" 1800 Report post Posted April 19 I wonder if they’re finished clearing? Because that certainly doesn’t scream GIGA yet to me 3 Tien Shinhan, Codyfryguy and Shawn Meyer reacted to this Quote 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 GavPenn, Codyfryguy and Shawn Meyer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turtlepower 284 Report post Posted April 19 This better be for a wing or a dive coaster. 1 1 KIghostguy and Codyfryguy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starlitfire 173 Report post 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 Bansheeback, goettablitz, Codyfryguy and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben43065 818 Report post 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 Codyfryguy and Shawn Meyer reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenban 2077 Report post 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 BeastForever, TheBEASTunchained and Codyfryguy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoasterMegRN 92 Report post Posted April 19 Long time reader popping out of the shadows to say how excited I am for another season of decoding and speculation!

BeastlyTerri 20 Report post 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 CoasterWorks, Codyfryguy, Rivertown Rider and 3 others reacted to this Quote 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 fryoj and Ben43065 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
