Hawaiian Coasters 325

I honestly have been thinking the next coaster after whatever goes in Firehawk's location should be in Oktoberfest. I honestly think they should relocate the latter game. Maybe even relocate Slingshot. I think the coaster could run over the pond near Viking Fury. There are two options I thought of. You could do a Mack Double Launch coaster like Copperhead Strike over the pond and give it a nice Oktoberfest style theme or you could even do a B&M dive coaster there and have an underwater tunnel like Yukon Striker. I don't see Viking Fury going anywhere, but they can work around it. But that would be the big way to start upgrading Oktoberfest. Then maybe some flat rides in that area. My theory is that the whole Coney Mall/Xbase/Oktoberfest area is going to be the main focus over the next several years.

KI's GM Mike Koontz actually at coasterstock announced that he recommended to the board of Cedar Fair to invest in a giga coaster for Kings Island so they already do realize how good of a fit a giga would be. Hopefully Cedar Fair agrees.

I was thinking. Does the giga (if it is a giga) necessarily have to start in the old Firehawk entry area? I know this sounds unusual, but there is that land on the left side of FOF where you can have a station there and have the lift hill go overtop the FOF building and drop into the Firehawk area. Plus an upside is they can connect Xbase to the main midway (oktoberfest). Heck, they could even give the giga an Oktoberfest style theme. They could also do what we've been speculating which is turn the Firehawk station into a Haunt. I will be coming out with a concept with an Oktoberfest style theme with this idea. I'm just saying that they don't necessarily have to use the old Firehawk entry area as the entrance to the new coaster. During the season, they could turn that area where Firehawk's entrance was into like a viewing area where you can watch the drop. And at Haunt, use the Firehawk station for Haunt.

It would be a huge stretch to have a wooden coaster go over 400 feet. There has yet to be a wooden hyper since SOB.

Cool, but when I think of Centurion, I don't think of space. I think of an army and a kingdom. I think Centurion would fit in with the Kings Mills area. But, I don't know about Xbase though. But, I don't think too many people thought Banshee could work in Action Zone back when the name was rumored because AZ was more themed to a stunt zone. But, it works now. Maybe they could do that with Xbase.

**sorry for the double post** I wasn't an enthusiast during the time leading up to Banshee, but I do know that in 2013, they had a teaser sign that said that due to mysterious screams, they had to close that part of the park down. Then they put stuff in the construction fence. Like for example a scarecrow was put right in front of a crack that people would look in to see what was going on back there.

I honestly think a space themed giga coaster would be excellent. How about it themed to aliens or a meteor.

Yes they are. It's been rumored for years. I would love one, but I'm not like setting my heart on it like others are. This B&M coaster could be a wing coaster, a dive coaster, or maybe even a B&M flyer. If I were to pick what B&M coaster it would be, I would go giga.

No. That was from another youtuber

Coaster Nation on YouTube told me there is markings at Dino's Alive on their Nolimits giga concept video. I don't know how to believe this since I've heard all sorts of stuff all year on land clearing at the park. Can anyone confirm this at all?

Ok guys according to Emotional Rollercoasters on Instagram. The new posters in FOF's queue line may be more than just decorations for "flight of cheer". If you look closely and study the posters closely, there are some things that caught my eyes that could be hints at a new coaster coming.These include Firehawk being pictured on a calendar, an alien in the air inside the vertical loop of the pic of Firehawk, the number 355 at the bottom of the calendar, the word Centuari written right next to the Firehawk pic that could reference the name Centurion, and a big one is the calendar that has Firehawk on it was discovered that it matches the 2020. Just wanted to throw it out there. Please take it as a grain of salt since they could just be messing with us and not mean anything, but this is something that we could keep in the back of our heads.

Today's concept goes along with the space theme that FOF has. I give you Alien.

Green Cool Aid: The Ride! Lol

Here's my latest giga concept. I give you Kings Mills Striker!

I'm back with another concept. I give you Meteor Strike!

I say the first drop drops into a tunnel like Leviathan. Except this one is underground and not just added in like Leviathan. Plus the GM stated in a KICentral interview as well as at coasterstock that they don't have plans for anything major in the DA area.

I honestly want it to be sorta low to the ground and sorta hidden in the trees. Obviously the lift hill can't be hidden since it's over 300 feet.

Wait, what? I thought the local news just showed a google maps satellite image of the Firehawk plot of land combined with the former dinos area.

I'm back with another concept and the name Power Force.

They would probably put up a fence to keep people from going back there.

I think that POV looks great. The only thing is that imo the pre drop looks like it came from rollercoaster tycoon.

Here is today's Sky Force concept except it goes out towards Banshee.

Even though I don't really care for dive coasters, I would actually be okay with that. You go into AZ, you have Banshee and Bat on the right, and you have Invertigo and Demon on the left. Basically they could make AZ the place where parents who don't ride coasters can sit and rest and let their kids run around and ride multiple rides in the same area while being close to their parents. How about this timeline for coasters 2020-B&M giga in Xbase and 2022/23 B&M dive in AZ. To me it works and would keep drawing in the crowds.
