I don't think we'll get another coaster until 2021 so I think mostly this is for 19 and 20. I still think Kings Island has a great future ahead of them.

Things to expect in the future
Hawaiian Coasters 325 replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Kings Island
Ressurecting an Old thread. In 2017, we got Mystic Timbers as our next big addition. Now we are expecting a giga after the 2020s. -
My choices for color scheme are 3 different color schemes. 1) light orange track with brown supports (sorta like in the giga I made above). 2) green track with brown supports (to fit the foresty theme). 3) Magenta track with greenish blue supports (similar to Mako.) I like my third choice since B&M makes color schemes look beautiful. Imo both Mako and Fury 325 are the two most beautiful coasters B&M has made (in my opinion).

This is only a drawing. That turn around that looks like it's going over the launch pad isn't actually going over the pad. It's hard to explain, but it's a non inverting dive loop. Yes, they would have to shut the ride down briefly, but the fireworks only last about 15 minutes so you could actually watch the fireworks in line and once the fireworks are done, then they start sending the remaining people in line and unload the two trains that are on the break run during the fireworks.
-
I made this giga in the Action Theatre area. I also made sure it doesn't mess up too much with the fireworks launching pad and just goes around it. It also uses the former Dinosaur's Alive space.
-
What if they go generic and call it Steel Beast? If they announced it and the name was Steel Beast, I would start going "thats stupid" for a while, but would eventually catch onto it. What if the ads were "The Son is back as a Steel Beast meaner than ever."
-
If there is a new rollercoaster going in that area (either a giga or another type of coaster), I think they will tear down action theatre or use it as the station (unlikely like what people in the past have said). If these markers are for a coaster, maybe these could be queue markers. The entrance plaza would be behind WindSeeker with the exit goes under Racer's turn around. I think imo that would be a nice area for a plaza to help draw crowds to that area.
-
Those don't look like much to me. Similar things were spotted last year and we're for Winterfest. But, it could mean something since I did say we could start seeing construction mid season, but I'm still saying 2021. But if it did came next year, I would be so pumped and would try and pay the money to do the first rider's auction.

Just like Twisted Timbers is a copy of Mystic Timbers? And Mystic Timbers is sorta a copy of Shivering Timbers?

If I were to be a fanboy of something, it would be Cedar Point -

Maybe they're building it because of the giga coaster! -
A new concept of mine. This is the newest invention by professor know it all and lackey to release in Xbase! It's Power Force!
-
That would be a perfect spot for Power Force or whatever they'll call it. Here is one thing, they can make some pathways around the maintenance buildings (there would be a fence to keep people out of there during operation) so that it can be an Xbase expansion. Just make the paths attractive to get people back there. That was when Paramount owned the park. Having a similar backstory to a brand new huge scream machine would be a nice touch. This wouldn't be what outer limits was though. This would be themed to a new invention that the wonderful inventors by the names of Profeesor Know it all and Lackey made to release in their base known as Xbase. Power Force would simulate climbing up into the sky and free falling while going through several turns and being lifted up out of your seat by the extreme power that forces you out of your seat while Flight of Fear simulates going into space inside a dark building and Firehawk simulates flying like super man.
-
Haha! No. Power Force would have it's own theme. It'd be in the Xbase area and it would be themed to these 2 inventors named Professor Know it all and Lackey who set up their base known as Xbase to make and show off their latest inventions. Their first invention is Flight of Fear which is made to simulate flying through space inside a dark building. Then their next invention was Firehawk which was made to simulate flying on your belly like Superman. Then after Firehawk got released. They weren't heard from for a while. The only thing people knew was that they are creating their next big invention for Xbase. In 2021, their latest invention is released! It is made to simulate going up into the sky and free falling and going through several turns and coming up out of your seat like you are floating in outer space with all that power being forced onto you. It's released! It's Power Force! Now, this is just my idea. It's very possible that the theming would be different and it could be in a new section of the park. Or we could never get a giga. We just don't know.

Fun TV is okay, but it gets boring. I want the queue to be turned into a dance party for night rides. I also thought that they could run blacklight through the station and at night, they turn the station and lights into blacklights to get the riders pumped up. Like look at Bowling Alleys where they have the regular lights on and then they turn them off and the blacklights come on. I think that would be perfect for night time on Power Force or whatever they will name the giga (if KI gets one).
-
I wish Cedar Fair could go back to having a DJ in the queue lines like on Magnum XL-200. I think it would be perfect for a giga coaster at night to get people pumped to ride.

We didn't get a giga in 2014 because Fury was already planned for the next year. An invert was also much more needed first. They went with a GCI because the park just spent $24 million on Banshee and they wouldn't break that investment just 3 years later. It also was a much needed addition since it provides a new wooden experience to the park and gives something more families could enjoy together. An invert was actually heavily rumored for the park back in the early 2000s/late 90s. Anyways, I never said "it would" reuse the Son of Beast station since I'm like 90% guaranteed it won't due to how the park likes to spruce up areas of the park with new coasters. I said that "if it was my decision. Like I was the park owner." I would put it in SOB station to 1) help with foot traffic to The Bat and 2) to give more nods to the past attraction with the station. Right now, I say Coney Mall makes sense. They could give it a theme to go along with the Coney Mall area. Like I was thinking something like Shooting Star to give nods to the old Coney island coaster.
-
That's why it's called a rumor. When there is no hints or anything, all we can do is speculate. Like saying that it may reuse the SOB station is called speculation. Our giga could be something like fury, a 300+ foot tall RMC woodie or Trex, a 300+ foot tall Mack, a poler coaster around the Eiffel Tower or never happening. We just don't know. The park tries to keep their future plans under raps and sometimes things do get out. I'm just saying that 2021 is just a rumor. There are still people saying that it's happening next year even though that there has been no teasing by the park or land clearing, there are people still saying it's going to be next year. Other rumors I've heard is 2020. I've also heard the 50th anniversary in 2022. My prediction right now is 2021, but that may change with time. Yes, SOB's station isn't the best station for a coaster, but Cedar Fair has turned a very ugly station into a good station. Twisted Timbers imo has a way better station than Hurler did. I do see it in Xbase or Coney Mall, but if KI were to surprise us and put it in the old SOB station, I wouldn't complain.
-
I was on Banshee the other day and looked at the old station for SOB while on the break run and I thought there was plenty of room for a quick turn out of the station for the lift hill to go over bat's turn around. Even though that Coney Mall or Xbase makes more sense to me, I wouldn't rule out that station 100% since last May, I saw a post on Instagram about men in suits with an ipad, camera, and clipboard looking at SOB's station (who are believed to be Cedar Fair people.) Which either one of two things were happening. Either they are planning for a new haunted house (which makes sense to me.) Or they were surveying the station to see how a new coaster (probably giga) would fit there. Since the rumor is 2021 for the new ride. I know that it takes at least three years to plan a coaster so maybe they were starting to plan by surveying the station. But imo, it'll be in Coney Mall or Xbase. Although, I wouldn't freak out if it was put in the SOB station to give nods to the massive woodie. @KI FANATIC 37 nice profile pictice by the way. Go Cats!

Diamondback's drop is basically in the guest walking areas, but again, I was just playing around. If I could put a giga in any spot, I would put it in the old SOB station to give nods to SOB and it would have the drop facing GWL.
-
I was just playing around with the picture editing thing. I was talking with Brian Neal on a Sunday and he mentioned an idea on having the coaster go over Coney Mall and use the empty space from Backlot Stunt Coaster. I personally don't find it likely, but we might be surprised. I'm surprised where they put both Diamondback and Mystic Timbers.

Beast-Revenge! Coming to Kings Island in 2021 as the world's first giga-hybrid at 308 feet going at speeds at 93 mph with a 90 degree drop and the fastest inversion in the world with the 112 foot tall dive loop! Located By Racer's turn around using the old action theatre as a station and queuing area! Due to the high intensity of this ride, riders must be at least 52 inches tall to ride!
