Hawaiian Coasters 325

Does anyone think tomorrow morning they'll have one final clue for the news media? Heck! Maybe tomorrow will be WCPO's turn. Maybe John Matarese going?

At Kings Island

If they were going to put in a new restaurant with this, I think they should look at Epcot's new space themed restaurant. This looks so cool. Heck! I say build a gift shop for this ride and theme it like this. Or they could make a gift shop that is similar to the gift shop at the Seattle space needle. The gift shop at the space needle is called the SpaceBase Gift Shop.

Mystic Timbers did set the record for the most wooden track in one park.

I'm hoping for a world record setter RMC in the next few years. They have a bunch of land behind Banshee they can use. We can continue this in the thread for what comes after the giga.

Coaster Studios just released his Cedar Fair 2020 predictions!

The base of lift footer has already been poured. It's been poured for like a week now.

Delirium goes 76 mph. Diamondback goes 80 mph. But Slingshot goes up to 100 mph.

Drop? People don't drop off of the ET. I feel that this would've been better at Drop Tower.

Yeah! @DustinTheNow excellent job. Although, I seriously hope the lighting package is not just the standard boring lift hill lights. I want to see a Fury type and/or Millennium Force type lighting package. At least multicolored lights. Imo if they don't do a good lighting package, they are really missing out.

New blog post from Kings Island. Now we know it's the biggest announcement in park history!

That was from the Mystic Timbers announcement video.

It's doesn't always have to be John Matarese though. They've sent other reporters to Kings Island before. But I'm sure with how well John Matarese is reporting on Kings Island, it wouldn't surprise me if he's the guy who does it for WCPO. Also another news station they could use is Local 12.

I opened the box on the fence in Xbase and there was nothing inside it so I guess that thing that was given to Fox19 was the only thing they decided to put in it.

Here is the video from WLWT on YouTube.

I'm at the park and got the chance to talk to Don Helbig a little bit. He told me that the platforms that are blocked off will be where the media will be. He also recommends we get here early.

TBH I'm kinda mad they took away the self serve hot sauce from the chicken shack. They now don't offer hot sauce as dipping sauce anymore on the self scan thing.

How many people are over there trying to open the box besides @Magenta Lizard

Will also be the tallest and fastest coaster in the park. According to operators, the ET upper platform (275') is the highest point in the park. This coaster (296' lift/301' drop) will be the new highest point in the park. Also, the weather will be awesome Thursday so expect some decent sized crowds especially around announcement time.

Watching WLWT now!

Hopefully it actually works. I heard the one for MT was very laggy.

All will be revealed in 2 days! Hawaiian Coasters 325 will be there!

Diamondback is 5,282 feet of track. It seems like the length for Project X is around 5,400 feet (around 200 feet longer). Although, it'll feel shorter due to the speed.

Also here is WLWT's latest article on this. https://www.wlwt.com/article/move-over-Diamondback-record-breaking-steel-roller-coaster-coming-to-kings-island/28686737

That was literally a troll by Kings Island. I believe the layout they leaked was GateKeeper.
