New For 2017: Mystic Timbers!
Nicolasz replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Adventure Express (already mentioned) , Backlot Stunt Coaster (it counts right?), and The Beastie from 1980-2006 (even though the ride was built in 1972 the tunnel was added in 1980). And as you and plenty of others have said, it's a perfect fit for the park! I'm heading to Dollywood in two weekends and really excited for my first GCI! Hopefully Lightning Rod will open in time for my first RMC! It seems that there are way more people who like Mystic Timbers than dislike. I am one of them. And a lot of people pointing out the haters. Just pointing out an observation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

You do know that these "cookie cutter B&M's" are bringing in people, not chasing them away? The general, non-enthusiast public loves these "cookie cutter B&M's" and setting revenue records with the company. Well, that and Ouimets new business strategy, which focuses on on the best day possible, tries to stay away from rides from a company that almost killed an entire boat full of guests. A company that had to replace sections of track on not one, but two, 20+ million dollar coaster. And all of this information has been commonly known and has been repeated on this and other sites multiple times, almost to a point where it's just a pointless argument. In the end, Cedar Fair doesn't care about the 0.01%, just the general 99.9% will give guests the "best day" and set a good reputation for the parks that'll make visitors come back to spend more money. B&M satisfies the company from a guest and company standpoint. Sorry for this boring, cliché, and mostly unrelated post to the topic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I never really understood the whole "icing on a cake" phrase. Wouldn't a cake just be a oddly shaped loaf of flavored bread without icing? Mid Post Edit: After a two minute Google search, I learned in the beginning cake was just an oddly shaped loaf of flavored bread..... The more you know. And after some reading on this thread, a giga coaster and various others don't really fit this thread, for example we have a giga, wing, floorless, strata, etc. at Cedar Point. Even though King Ding Dong say outside of KI/CP, there even is Storm Chaser, an RMC at Kentucky Kingdom, which is even closer than Cedar Point. And after reading the thread title, "Types of Coasters We Don't Have?" I could see why people would list Kings Island only rides. It's just my silly little rant that is confused by the title and description of the thread. But to add to the conversation, the closest Mack Rides Multi-Lauch is in San Diego, and it looks great, but Helix and Blue Fire look absolutely insane, and those are in Europe.

There was, but the sale was a one day only sale a few days ago. Even if there was a Christmas in July sale, you would think there would be some information in the video or video description. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I'd love either one, but RMC rides seem more intense with stronger airtime and forces. I'm going to enjoy whatever we get, but I'd rather prefer an RMC. Outlaw Run, Wildfire, and Lightning Rod all seem out of this world, top ten rides while the GCIs look ok to amazing, but not in the league of RMC. (I haven't ridden either manufacturer so my opinion shouldn't be as valid as others). Can't wait to ride our new GCI next year! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I'm sorry to crush all of your dreams but those blueprints look like a GCI, not an RMC. It looks like a less-twisty Prowler at Worlds of Fun, which is a GCI. I would absolutely love an RMC in that spot, but the blueprints don't lie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Red and green cups? Green B&M track? This means Kings Island is getting a Christmas themed cowboy coaster! Holiday World has some fierce competition coming their way! (Satire) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

If it was to be a terrain hugging multi-launch coaster like Maverick, it would most likely be made by Mack or B&M, not Intamin. An Intamin is surely possible, but not likely. If it was to be made by Mack or B&M, it would likely have very comfortable restraints, and very high capacity and reliability , which solves most of Mavericks problems, meaning we would have a big winner.
