New Coaster 2024?


Recommended Posts

I think 2025 is more likely if the next coaster is something big, but I would not be surprised to see a small coaster in 2024.  Either something in the kids area, or maybe a wild mouse.  The Zamperla being built at Cedar Point would be a tight fit but I believe it would fit where the old arcade is located on Coney Mall, between the antique cars and Zephyr, I believe the fence would be about 10 feet in front of where the building is located, but not 100% certain, with the queue between the coaster and Zephyr.  Kings Island is the only park in the chain without a wild mouse or similar coaster.  It’s a cheap and easy way to add a coaster and put off the next big new ride at Kings Island for 2 or 3 years.

Dive coasters are very popular with the public, I expect Kings Island will get one, just likely not next year.  The Vortex spot feels like the perfect location.  Although I expect the next big attraction to be built towards the front of the park, likely in Action Zone.  I believe The Vortex land will stay empty for a few more years.

I'm not a fan of CF's Wild Mice operations.  They don't allow Wild Mice to be loaded in motion and at the parks that do have them, they are easily among the longest lines in the park, even at smaller parks like MIA.

Probably still too early but maybe we will get something or things from California’s Great America Park, since it will be closing in 5 years. 

Coaster wise I want:

1) Railblazer

2) Patriot 

 

Ride wise I want:

1) Flying Eagles

2) Orbit

3) Delta Flyer / Eagles Flight

4) Carousel Columbia

What would really be interesting to discuss, is, if (and that is a big if) Intamin is doing the re-imagining of Top Thrill Dragster, would they be in consideration to build the next coaster at KI, providing it is a success?

Even though he didn't provide his source and is the same guy pushing the Zamperla Dragster rumor, Eltororyan did say that from the "industry rumblings" he heard, CF executives after checking out Velocicoaster were very impressed and they want to do multiple Intamin LSM launch coasters. 

Here's the video he says it in. Towards the end of the video:
