Hawaiian Coasters 325

Remember I believe Diamondback didn't start teasing until July.

Congrats @Maverick44 Btw we should make more concepts using the "leaked" layout that we are 50/50 on being real or not.

Make sure my seat is in first class and is a first class suite like on Eithad Airways!

John Matarese will probably be the one covering this project on wcpo all season. I'm sure he'll also be live at the announcement and media day for the ride! In fact we should try and interview him for a KIC podcast

Dennis Speigel was one of the people who thought Banshee was going to be a wing coaster. But he did predict that Mystic Timbers was a wooden coaster and he did predict the right manufacturer.

Here is a good way to advertise the coaster in the market area. I have mentioned this many times in the past. Photo Credit: http://mediaincanada.com/2012/08/01/spotted-canadas-wonderland-coasts-off-of-highways/

I think another thing we've got to keep in mind is that Kings Island is more of a locals/family park and not a destination park. The park tends to cater more to the families rather than the thrill seekers. Imo, I think imo that the reason that they are probably going smaller/cheaper on a giga rather than going insanely huge is that it'll be easier to achieve the minimum return on investment goal.

Here is a picture of the light up wheels installed on Tatsu. Full credit goes to Uremet. This would actually fit well on a space theme coaster.

I think I saw on Facebook somewhere that Tatsu at magic mountain got new LED lights on the train wheels. I think it would be awesome if we got something like that on this!

Or here's an idea, just use the indoor switchbacks.

I'm confused here. Everyone is getting different measurements here.

If this lift is 310' it would be kinda funny to have a giga with the same height as Millennium Force

Diamondback is marketed as "the tallest and fastest coaster to ever strike Kings Island." Obviously the strike part has to do with the snake. Maybe they could market this as the "tallest and fastest coaster to ever take the KI skies." They should maybe do some amazing advertising with this. Anyone remember how Canada's Wonderland advertised Leviathan on the bill boards?

After watching this Leviathan pov, I would actually be happy if our giga is similar. Would I love it to be like Fury? Yes. Would I be happy with a Leviathan? Yes. This also looks like a fun ride at dusk/night. I always have a blast at dusk/night on Millennium Force so hopefully it's similar!

I kinda had the idea for years that since the KI giga thing was hyped for all these years, when they finally announce it, we probably will be disappointed that our huge ideas didn't end up happening.

^^People thought the leaked MT layout was fake, but it wasn't. I don't think they would send fake blueprints to the Mason City Hall.

Id like a PM as well

And that was taken the year before Mystic Timbers opened. I'm sure he meant after 2017 though. But that was the time people speculated MT was a giga.

I believe it's called the ride maintenance facility or something like that. Is that what you are talking about?

What type of coaster does it look like if you had to take a guess?

@IndyGuy4KI you have anything to say here on this?

I need to know how people do this. It literally has the Warren county website URL and I searched around the other links and it is the Warren County website.

This would be a good station/queue soundtrack!

I honestly think Flight of Fear is good enough. Maybe they'll add some things to the queue and maybe add some new theming decorations to the outside of the building, but honestly I think it'll be like what CP did with SV and didn't retheme Maverick.

I can't tell you the number of times I've seen comments or even people sending me stuff about Beast Unleashed. People are still sharing it. Or even the whole SOB 2.0 thing from last year. Some people just ignore the words rumors or concept. Or just don't read the description in general.
