Hawaiian Coasters 325

Didn't Cedar Fair say they don't want to change the entrance of the park? So I don't think we are looking at too much in terms of interacting with the entrance area if we're looking at a coaster in the Invertigo/Congo Falls plot.

I hate to be that guy, but I think we should continue the conversation on the next addition in the thread that is about what comes after the 2020 giga.

Or RMC Or Wing Or whatever it is the park has planned.

So John Matarese did a TV report on this tonight and he told me it should be uploaded to YouTube soon!

It would definitely be an honor to be in one of those pictures! Lol

Haha John Matarese should see that! I'm sure he'll be embarrassed! Lol

So we are at 358 pages on this thread! That is more than the Mystic Timbers thread had. (325 pages). Banshee had 459.

It's storming at my house! I'm about 5 minutes from the park. I wonder if our giga will have lightning rods as well.

Just did that. It worked! Thanks!

Yeah, the video was posted on youtube just today, but that video has been on the wlwt site since the blueprints got leaked. They just probably forgot to put it on YouTube so they did it now. But it's hilarious when Dennis Spiegel calls the helixes loops. He did the same with Diamondback's blueprints.

That video was from a while back when the blueprints got leaked. Also it's WLWT. Also sorry for double post

I can't get access to it. You have to have an account to view it. I think you get a certain number of free articles and I'm over that number.

Yeah it looks like the 10 pm announcement for Banshee was very successful which is why they did it again for Mystic Timbers and that was successful which is also why they are doing it here for this, but looks like they are trying it out when the park closes at 8, but most likely anyone can attend. I wonder why there isn't that many news articles on this yet. WCPO and Cincinnati Enquirer both have one, but I can only access the WCPO one because Cincinnati Enquirer is a site you have to have an account to view the articles.

Did anyone boo Mystic Timbers when it was announced? I looked at comments on KI's facebook from MT announcement after it was revealed and many people were not happy about it and I'm sure some of them ate their words when they rode it.

As much as I am excited for this. we need to wait and see if it is a media event or if we will be allowed to attend. I've heard multiple things. I've also heard someone say it will be a gold pass event. If true, I'm sure platinum passholders will be accepted too. But lets wait and see.

So are they going to project the announcement on the FOF building? Like the plain white wall on top of the entrance that used to say Press Area (please bring that back).

So the announcement is at 10. So will the park still close at 8 except that area or will the park stay open the extra 2 hours?

John Matarese got it so it's definitely not photoshopped.

John Matarese got it!

He also does it in a nice manner and not in a manner that can come across as bullying like one user in the comments on these types of videos does.

Guessing it's either what we've been waiting for or just Chad trolling. But hey it matches up to what parks send media before an announcement.

Kings Island does very well for being a regional park. Cedar Point gets the most because they bring in the most revenue for the chain. I don't believe we'll see Kings Island become a destination park, but KI will continue to get new rides and attractions.

LOL I love it!
