We have beat this horse, the term Giga is a word. Call it a hyper or call it a giga. Just enjoy it. Topic closed.

Hear me out... The actual height is only 287 feet, while the requirement for a giga coaster is 300 feet. I know the drop is 300 feet but it feels like they are cutting corners and it doesn't feel like a legitimate giga. This type of cutting corners reminds me of when I was in Mrs. Lejay's lunch detention and she deliberately served me horrible food. This type of cutting corners should be considered worse of a thing than what I did to get into lunch detention! (throwing mashed potatoes at ceiling). This is outrageous and outlandish and is a horrible thing! I feel violated! Thank you for hearing my argument,

I discovered that way too late in life to truly appreciate just how great it was.

Firehawk's loop- If you rode in the back or front you could see the other end of the train enter or exit the loop. The forces/whip as you hit the bottom of the loop was impressive.

I'll do my favorite per-coaster- Adventure Express- The helix down into the 3rd tunnel Backlot- The s-curves after the helix Banshee- 0g roll and that long drop into the batwing Bat- the fan curve over the station Beast- The helix and the series of drops between the 2nd tunnel and the 2nd lift Diamondback- The hammerhead, especially on the right side of the train on the outer rows Flight of Fear- the launch and the build up to the corkscrew at the end Invertigo- the fact it can pull enough G's to make me grey out and nearly black out every ride Mystic Timbers- the 2nd big drop into the valley, it's still flying and it's a good sustained ejector air moment Orion- the 2nd and 3rd hills with the lateral airtime while also losing sight of the horizon for a bit of disorientation due to the combination of the upward angle and the overbanked elements Racer- the bunny hill between where it splits and the turn around, they always have insane air at that part Defunct rides- Vortex- the first drop in the back of the train SOB- the first drop and loop Firehawk- the overbank hill King Cobra- either the loop or the trick track

And there is precedent for that. Remember, we did get the original Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle in 2003, the same year that Delirium was added. I think a new flat ride that utilizes The Crypt`s ride building, and uses the existing queue entrance would be a good fit. Give another ride that is in air conditioning and could run during Winterfest. Boo Blasters definitely needs a refresh of some kind.

The double helix on The Beast. What I love about wooden coasters is that each ride feels slightly different from the last!

Honestly a family thrill coaster in the Crypt building plus an update to Boo Blasters in the same season would be a pretty good investment.

In honor of my 20th anniversary of being on KIC, I'm going to share some graphs from my super nerdy Kings Island trip spreadsheet I created. 64 lifetime trips and counting. Thank you all for all the fun over the years!

Hey they did repave a little bit of the parking lot. Maybe by 2032 they’ll do another section.

A family coaster in the crypt building OR The Vortex plot is an epic failure. The crypt building needs an intense, inverting flat in there. (If they remove the triangle of light door I'd buy a piece of it in a heartbeat or a piece of Shiva off the wall) That Vortex plot needs the inversion record. Its what it was built for. (Well, actually a suspended coaster that later ended up being demoed and replaced with the inversion record) If they put a family ride in either of these two plots, I'm revoking my pass permanently.
