Hawaiian Coasters 325

I keep having dreams of Kings Island opening day and seeing construction and/or teasers in the Firehawk area. Unfortunately I won't be at opening day since I'll be getting back from Israel and I'll be super jet lagged. But anyone else having similar dreams?

Mine is go up for an evening, eat dinner at Chicken Shack, and marathon Banshee all evening. I want to go for 20 rides in one day.

"A Notice of Commencement is a document that formally sets the beginning date of a project, or the date on which a supplier first provided materials or labor. It is filed and recorded in the corresponding local or state office in the county in which the project is located, and generally must be provided to other project participants and posted on the jobsite." This is the definition of a Notice of Commencement. I'll post the link to the website where I found it. https://mechanicslien.com/what-is-a-notice-of-commencement/

In my concept above I came up with the name Alien Invasion. They could have some sort of storyline with it. They could even tie Firehawk in with it and say that Aliens invaded Xbase and Firehawk got kidnapped by Aliens and was never seen again.

I don't think they have to do a teasing campaign the way they did for past projects. Copperhead Strike and Yukon Striker didn't start their teaser campaigns until later in the season if I remember correctly. I think it would be nice if they let the first few weeks focus on the antique cars, then sometime in like late May/ early June, they could start putting up hints at the park and/or on social media and get everyone buzzing later.

Wait, clearing started in November??? They didn't start taking down Firehawk until after Winterfest. I also don't remember any clearing starting in November.

Made a new giga concept. It uses the Firehawk land as well as the Dino's land. I give you Alien Invasion!

Kinda surprised he didn't ask about the Firehawk area since he is kinda interested in that speculation.

With all this, does anyone think KI could forego an Xbase theme and theme the coaster to connect with mining? I've thought of the names Steel Striker and Kings Mills Striker. Yes, those are weird names, but they sound "Cedar Fairy" to me.

^^I've thought of that too. That's why I'm not taking them too seriously. Like I didn't take the "Number 5 is Alive" posters from over the summer too seriously.

If I remember correctly, Mystic Timbers has the word Steel Vengeance mentioned in one of it's posters and it has been there since MT opened which was before Steel Vengeance was even announced and no one knew that SV was the name of RMC Mean Streak.

Interesting video on a poster found at Carowinds. Imo the saying that sticks out to me the most is "hangar 18 research compound." I don't know if hangar 18 is used somewhere already since I've never been to Carowinds. The reason I'm posting this here is because hangar 18 makes me think of the Xbase theme at KI. Now, I'm taking this as a grain of salt because I know not to trust posters like this too much after what happened over the summer with the "number 5 is alive" thing. I just wanted to share this because the hangar 18 thing stuck out to me.

I was thinking along the lines of "Danger! Toxic substances has escaped containment! If you find any information, call this number (you call the number and it has more clues) with at the bottom of the sign it has #It'sBigIt'sComing

Oh dear. That's crazy that people would try and get in without paying. Some people can just do stupid stuff. There is a thread on KIC on people getting kicked out of KI, and in that thread there are some interesting stories.

Have you ever had to kick people out of the park before? If yes, reason?

^^I came up with a theme a while back that is about three scientists who set up their base (X base) to come up with cool inventions. Their first invention simulates you flying through the dark like you are flying through space (Flight of Fear). Then later they came up with another invention that unfortunately didn't work out for them because it was too complicated. (Firehawk) Then they got to work creating their next big invention. (giga)

Also this season should be better if the B&M thing is actually happening since the park would be dropping hints throughout the season and it'll be fun checking the construction site all season for interesting things.

I'm hoping for good theming in the queue line and around the entrance! I think a science lab type theme would be great!

I know I'm breaking the 11th commandment here, but I decided to replace Adventure Express with a Mack double launch coaster with an Oktoberfest renovation! The name is Beetle Invasion.

John Matarese should get a KIC account!

I actually like Invertigo. I don't find it to be rough or a headbanger. What helps is keeping your head on one side. I do it and it works. But, I still wouldn't be shocked if it is one of the next rides on the chopping block.

Surf Dog isn't a coaster

Is the Skyline 4 way onion or bean? I'm an onion guy and I hate beans.

I'm saying that they should keep it permanent since that would bring back that German feel to Oktoberfest.

I wish they would've kept the German stuff in the Festhaus that was at Winterfest and have it permanent. Also, is the 4 way for Skyline Chili onion or bean? I'm an onion guy and I hate beans.
