Jasper Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Everyone is forgetting the Screamin' Demon, that was over close to the Safari, maybe were getting a prototype of a ride like that, except on a much larger scale. Or not.......
Diamondback FOF Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Check out 1:16... "...so we kinda wanted to go back in time and turn back the clock...". Hmmmm...granted something relating to that doesn't fit the clues but...have there been some changes by a certain manufacturer that we aren't aware of? Edit: One of my friends asked me if they would bring the Demon back
The Interpreter Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Maybe CF couldn't build a hotel at KI under the contract? And if I'm not mistaken, KI is the only CF park that doesn't have a CF-owned hotel.... Uh...by far the majority of Cedar Fair parks do NOT have CF owned hotels associated with them. Carowinds does not, Dorney does not. California's Great America does not and the list goes on and on... Everyone is forgetting the Screamin' Demon, that was over close to the Safari, maybe were getting a prototype of a ride like that, except on a much larger scale. Or not....... a. Who would build it? b. Certainly not everyone is forgetting Screamin' Demon, though perhaps some would want to... 1
dr_humor Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Perhaps I'm missing something here, but why on earth would a ride like the Screamin' Demon come back? I just don't see the logic. I get the nostalgia thing. I think it's pretty obvious all the time references are referring to the idea of dinosaurs being involved somehow; the footprint, the jaw bone in the mud on the homepage, the dinosaur skin in the background.
Maglados Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Yeah, I know what you're talking about and I was going to point out the jaw bow... So we maybe looking at a Jur-jur-dinoassic park...lol This is what I thought before but the writing got me all thrown off. lol
Oldschool75 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Everyone is forgetting the Screamin' Demon, that was over close to the Safari, maybe were getting a prototype of a ride like that, except on a much larger scale. Or not....... No we haven't--------see post 182
Oldschool75 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Another theory. When they say "turn back the clock on thrill", it doesn't necessarily mean turning back the clock on thrills that were at KI, but maybe somewhere else. Just a type of ride that was popular in the past?
dr_humor Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Anything is possible of course, but I really think it simply means dinosaurs, and that's it.
LordSkippy Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 There is a long list of old rides I would like to see at Kings Island, each less likely than the last. Seriously though, I have no idea what to make of these 'clues' anymore.

Maglados Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 On the main page of the banner you see it in the upper corner of it in the mud that gets whipped off.
The Interpreter Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Perhaps it has something to do with Judges 15:13-17, KJV.
Dieseltech20 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I love it. KI made a post on FB about this. It states "TURN BACK THE CLOCK" Half the idiots (sorry but they ARE idiots) are commenting that we are supposed to turn our clocks forward in Spring not back. Amazing the number of people that cannot read/click the link before responding.

BavarianBeatle Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I don't care what they get, as long as it's a ride. We have enough thrills, don't you guys agree? Diamondback, The Beast, Flight of Fear, Firehawk....are all VERY thrilling rides. If we got a fun, family ride, I'd be OK with that. ^Like you said. I agree with you! I, for one, do not agree. By my count we have no less than 7 family coasters already: three in Planet Snoopy, BLSC, Racer, AE and Flight Deck. And Drop Tower and Delirium are the only flats (except upcharge attractions) that could be called "thrill rides." (I don't know yet about WindSeeker.) If anything, the last thing KI needs is another kiddie/family attraction, IMO. Edit--My memory has repressed all thoughts of The Crypt......
Rollerzach Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/mud/index.cfm LOOK! NEW! Clue.
LordSkippy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Hm...a red fence? The side of a shipping container? Also, it looks like a picture of a goose has been added to the photo gallery recently.
thekidd33 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Guess we know what they are feeding our new dinosaurs!
CoasterFreak45 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Maybe whatever it is, it's coming from Canada in a metal moving container?
Rollerzach Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/park/mud/index.cfm LOOK! NEW! Clue. It also looks like the last pics were the feathers on the goose.
THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 It's a new water coaster called Steel Gander! lol!
ahank Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Two things: 1.) Maybe this is a tad far-fetched, but if this is a dino trail or something along those lines, could this be added to compete with the Creation Museum a few miles away? One of the main themes in the Creation Museum are dinosaurs/ancient reptiles and it features very large walk-throughs and sculptures. While the two may not even be in the same business, it's something to think about. 2.) In the background of the new teaser subsection of the website, I noticed it looks much like a swamp, as do the pictures posted in the photo gallery. Could this be an alligator/crocodile themed ride? Or maybe I'm just crazy.
thekidd33 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 ^^That's getting a little creative as far as CF names go!
LordSkippy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I still don't know what to make of these clues, nevertheless how they fit together. I'm still analyzing the footprint from several months ago... 200th post!
Rollerzach Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I just watched Dons video again and from the sounds of it. 1. its opening this year. 2. bringing back something from the past like a area of the park. 3. he said "This New World Classic" Its sounds like a new ride and a new area thats pretty BIG!!!
LordSkippy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 This new 'thing' opening this year sounds a little far-fetched. Assuming the picture of the red ribboned tree is fairly recent, more like impossbile.
thekidd33 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 ^^New World Class? Or New World Classic? "New world classic" seems like odd wording.
PKIVortex Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Also, although those are signs showing the rides' logos (see especially the Drop Zone sign), they are not the actual signs that were used to attract visitors to the rides...those signs were much, much larger. Actually that Drop Zone sign was back from when Xtreme Skyflier was called Drop Zone in 1995. Yes that is the actual signs. Those signs where put up in the International Restruant for the Employee Reunion back in 2008.
Rollerzach Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 ^^New World Class? Or New World Classic? "New world classic" seems like odd wording. New World Classic
LordSkippy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 ^^New World Class? Or New World Classic? "New world classic" seems like odd wording. New World Classic As in a ride that will be considered a classic? Or a really good ride? I'm so confused...
