^^Yukon Striker track was labeled DM-G

I think that MCT is hyper/giga coaster track. I think MC stands for mega coaster. If you look back at Yukon Striker construction, the track for YS was labeled DMG.

I know this won't happen, but I think it would be really cool if they hooked up the station lights and at night, they could switch the lights off and turn on blacklight and have paint on the floor that glows in blacklight. I think it would be nice and would go with a space/xbase theme. Just my thoughts.

I'm not so sure if I want a Top Gun/Flight Deck color scheme. Maybe gray and blue would be nice imo. Or maybe gray and hot pink.

^^glow in the dark paint would actually be really cool! Especially if they themed it to Aliens/space.

Found this video that was uploaded in May of 2013 for Banshee construction. As you can see, they are pouring footers for the station that time. So, hopefully we should start seeing footers being poured soon.

Using @sixohdieselrage photo, I decided to create a new giga concept using an amazing computer picture editor called Pixlr Editor. I give you Mega Force!

^^I'm starting to think red isn't likely since they aren't clearing that direction. If they start clearing over there, then maybe it could change my mind. I think blue is most likely.

I don't think we should retheme FOF. I think it's fine the way it is imo. I could see them adding some new decor in the queue line to tie into the new coaster though.

RMC 2020
I'm guessing you should watch this interview with Rob Decker. He clearly explains the difference between B&M hypers and gigas.

I'm guessing an RMC and/or a Mack double launch. If KI gets an RMC, I want it to be a ground up topper track woodie that takes back the tallest and fastest wooden coaster records. A Mack double launch I want to see larger than Copperhead Strike and I want to see it use the terrain kinda like how Helix does.

That may be true, but it still interests me on why they kept the old queue. Maybe they'll use it as an "extra queue" for opening year because they'll probably need it especially for opening weekend if there is nice weather and the crowds are huge. And then they'll build a queue at the bottom of the stairs you would go down to the station for Firehawk. Just my thoughts.

@Cedar Fair Fanboy that teaser thing was brought in by someone to troll the enthusiasts. Anyways, just came up with what the lift hill could look like from the tower! Credit for the pic goes to Ohio Valley Coasters!

Yes @sixohdieselrage !!! I want to see what the clearing actually is!!

^^It'll be interesting to see this weekend if anymore clearing was done since the weather down here where I live (about 5 minutes from the park) has been gorgeous these past few days. Also @Maverick44 are you going to create anymore giga concepts?

It'll be interesting to see this weekend if any new clearing was done this past week. I live just 5 minutes from KI and the weather was gorgeous several days this week.

I honestly think that it would be a little too crowded and congested to put the coaster station in Coney Mall imo because of the cars being there and having to squeeze right by the cars and under Racer. Imo it would make more sense to put the station in the Firehawk area and have the coaster go through the cleared area. Plus I saw a video on YT where someone took pics from WindSeeker (which I'm not all for filming on rides due to park rules, safety, etc) and the clearing is actually larger and not as narrow as what we can see from the ET. Just my thoughts here. Plus, I don't think they want to leave that fence up right there for too long.

It seems like news stations are now following KIC when they want to talk about Kings Island especially John Matarese and WCPO!

How about calling the coaster Aviator?

If our giga is gray track like in the photos, what color would y'all like the supports to be?
