There's also space on the left side of FOF between FOF and AE for another Xbase expansion.

Future plans for Firehawk's station discussion
I think it would be cool if the Firehawk station became the gift shop/photo building for the new B&M (hopefully giga, but maybe a wing or dive).

Firehawk Leaving Kings Island 10/28/18
In honor of Firehawk leaving. I found this video on YouTube from Firehawk's opening day at KI in 2007. Now, I plan to be at the park on Sunday afternoon to try and get my final ride on Firehawk, but if I can't because of downtime, oh well. I will at least be there on it's last day so I can say I was there on it's last day. I also wonder how many news stations will be at the park on Sunday covering Firehawk's final day. I know there were tons of news stations at CP on Mean Streak's closing day. There also is a chance of rain on Sunday so I hope it means a shorter line. But probably not since people will want to be there for the closing of Firehawk. RIP Firehawk.

Wait, are you saying that you can download a Planet Coaster recreation of Kings Island and add stuff to it? If yes, im totally going to do it and build coasters that I want to come in the future!

I was thinking that a giga in Xbase should have a spacecraft theme. I threw together another giga. I give you Stardust! I also thought of the name Skylab which is the name of another spacecraft and then saw that Kings Island had a ride called Skylab.

^^ Make it like B&M's take on Steel Vengeance's drop. How about make it 85 degrees and then the next coaster is a monstrous RMC with a 90 degree drop. But I wouldn't mind seeing a B&M giga with a 90 degree drop. Hopefully they don't pull a dive coaster and basically make the 90 degree drop the only good part of the ride where the ride is mediocre.

Or if you make it go overtop the FOF building like in some of the concepts I've made, at one point while driving into the park, it would look like it goes overtop the Eiffel Tower.

Blue and White I loved, but for another team. Go Kentucky Wildcats!! BBN!

Back with another Cobra Strike concept (that element over the Xbase entrance is actually a wave turn not an airtime hill).

Back on giga topic. I made another one that goes over top of the FOF building. I give you Cobra Strike!

I'm like 90% sure that track that is sitting out there is going over seas. I don't think that a park in the US let alone only a few miles away would have track sitting out this early ready to go unless it were opening in 2019. I think that they have to make the track early so they can ship it over the ocean which takes a long time to do.

And then they ride it in 2020 and will say "Wow! That was nothing like Diamondback!" Diamondback is all about the floater airtime hills. Fury 325 (or the possible KI giga) focuses on speed and intensity.

Savage 395 of course!

I say they very well could use the old DA plot of land, but I also think my recent concept is a possibility where it goes over top the FOF building and uses that land between AE and FOF. That imo would be a great idea from a viewing standpoint. From Racer's exit, you'd be able to get nice views of the drop and first overbank. If they did that, I'm sure several enthusiasts would be standing at Racer's exit watching the drop and/or getting footage of it. Plus, the GP would see it while walking in CM/Oktoberfest and would be like "WOW! That's a HUGE drop! We are so riding that!" Plus, when you are driving up to KI, it would look like it goes overtop of the Eiffel Tower even though it doesn't. But, I think using the DA land and Firehawk's land makes sense to me.

Thanks. Even though as a Kentucky Wildcats fan I don't believe in red and blue being put together

Today's Skyraider concept replaces Firehawk and uses the land between AE and FOF and goes over top of AE.

I know make it 395 feet and call it Savage 395 (just going back to 8th grade when I made up a giga for KI called Savage 395.) Shatters every giga record including Red Force!!
