Hawaiian Coasters 325

Skyraider imo is a good name Skyraider is the official service name of an AD-1 aircraft. It would fit in Xbase because Xbase is basically themed to a flight base. Plus, it could bring back the old jet theming that Kings Island used to have when The Bat when it was Top Gun/Flight Deck. I wonder if they still have some of the old jet theming from that in storage somewhere like the Jets that used to be under the station when it was a queue line under there.

Since Firehawk is now confirmed to be removed. I made a new giga concept for that area. I give you Skyraider

What's neat is that if you look at the list of companies in the one for Mystic Timbers, a lot of them are also being used for this one.

I just realized if it's Firehawk, they could fit a launched wing coaster there. I made one that fits here plus uses the land between AE and FOF named PowerBird.

The local news is also covering this. Plus, they mention the giga rumors and KICentral!

I would like a food stand plus a nice seating area (like what's on Banshee's entry area) Plus a gift shop building.

Sorry for the triple post, but I was thinking if they removed Firehawk, they have a decent queue and station. I was thinking they could reuse Firehawk's station and queue for the giga. Definitely would make it into a single loading platform though. Probably would paint the station to fit the coaster. This is the concept I made using Firehawk's station. The name is Mega Force.

I think "one of our own" means something that the park has in their lineup.

**DOUBLE POST** Now we know something is leaving Kings Island and based off on rumors, it's Firehawk (I plan to make concepts in the spots of WindSeeker and Vortex). Right now this is in the spot of Firehawk. I give you Lazer Beast!

I just got back from a little trip so I had very little internet access without burning too much data, but I did hear about this. Honestly, I think it's Firehawk. That ride based on what I heard is a maintenance nightmare and is a pain to operate. Plus, the sign is red and so is Firehawk. Firehawk would open up so much for many possibilities. I actually made a giga concept in the giga thread that goes in Firehawks place a while ago and plan to make another one.

I thought of something like that too! I think it'd be great as the first element after the first drop.

**DOUBLE POST** I found this on YouTube. I think this would be a great fit at Kings Island! I love this color scheme! I think that this would fit very well at KI in either Action Zone or Xbase!

I'm not expecting any of our concepts to be the actual plans if a giga does happen. But, I think it's cool that @IndyGuy4KI actually told Chad Showalter (KI director of communications) about the concept things that me and @Maverick44 started doing.

As would I prefer two separate coasters.

I was thinking. What if Kings Island got the Giga-Dive that Yukon Striker was rumored to be. Yes, those are one trick ponies and a lot of us would rather a Fury 325 type coaster, but we got to remember that us enthusiasts are a very small percentage. Dive coasters are GP eye catchers and I think a dive coaster would really please the Kings Island guests. A Giga-Dive would fill 2 majors holes in our coaster lineup. A giga and a 90 degree drop. Based on the Kings Island guests, that hold over that 90 degree drop would really please the Kings Island guests. I don't really want it to happen, but I would understand why if it did end up happening. A perfect location for it imo is where Congo Falls and Timberwolf is. The reason I say that is that the view from up there of the Mason/Kings Mills area would be excellent. Or they could up the ampe and take out Invertigo to give it an entrance effect. I know I will get bashed for bringing up a Giga-Dive, but I just wanted to bring it up. Plus, my dad would really love it because me and him when to Cedar Point and he really liked front seat of Valravn.

Nope it's not a racing coaster. I just redrew over the track a second time and it didn't line up exactly the same.

Heres Today's concept. The name I came up with is kinda lame yes, but to me it fits with what Cedar Fair seems to be doing. I give you Kings Mills Striker.

There is actually a huge difference between Fury 325 and Intimidator besides the height of the lift/drop. Rob Decker said it himself on the media day from Fury 325 when he was asked about it in an interview. I actually posted that video in here before. "The main difference is that Intimidator is all about the drop with a bunch of floater airtime hills (speed, slow, airtime, speed, slow, airtime, speed) and Fury is about the lift/drop and maintaining the 95 mph throughout the ride. That second hill could easily be 200-300 feet tall, but it's not it's 180. It's a giant banked turn." (Rob Decker Fury 325 media day)

**TRIPLE POST** I don't know why I'm the only one posting in here lately. Anyways, my friend Thomas from Coaster Media decided to bring my Laser Snake concept to life in nolimits2. He did a great job! Check it out!

**DOUBLE POST** Yes, this exact logo probably can't be used by Kings Island unless they got a license to use it, but wouldn't a logo like this fit very well in Xbase if KI did something very similar to it?

Here's today's giga concept going in the empty space between AE and FOF sprucing up Xbase. I give you Laser Snake!

Love the colors! Now, I'm thirsty for green coolaid LoL! Btw Sorry for the double post

With the addition of Yukon Striker to Canada's Wonderland, it shows that Cedar Fair is not afraid to break their own records even if it's at their flagship park Cedar Point.

I doubt B&M themselves would be mentioned if it was just a repaint. Maybe we could see a repaint of a current coaster along with the 2020 B&M project. For example: Cedar Point repainted both Raptor and Dragster the year Valravn opened. Documents like this are usually sent to the city where the park is located if a big project is about to start. Some people have mentioned on other forums (like Reddit) that they think it is just for maintenance on Diamondback and/or Banshee, but I also don't think they would send documents to the city of Mason just to do maintenance on a currently operating ride. I think it's for a project involving B&M and a bunch of other companies that it's going to involve construction.

**DOUBLE POST** This here would be a nice story line for Steel Beast where in the storyline, it could involve Son of Beast. "Years ago, The Beast had a son that would rule Action Zone and would be very aggressive to people coming into his woods or entering his Outpost known as Outpost 5. One day, he was so aggressive, that he had to be put to death. After burial of the son, an evil ghost lady named Banshee haunted the land where the son would rule not knowing that the Son never fully died and actually survived the incident, but just passed out. While buried, he became aware of the evil ghost and started to form a plan for revenge and transform into something evil to dominate Action Zone again. He then started mining trying to get out to give the evil ghost and the father a piece of his mind and surprise them in his new form. He's returned in the form of a very big metal machine so big and furious that dominates anything that compares. The tallest of his kind. The fastest speeds of his kind. The longest amount of his material in his area. Sideways turns, steep drops, huge climb, flying hills. He's back with revenge as a Steel Beast! Action Zone, Kings Island, 2020."
