Hawaiian Coasters 325

I know this video has been posted earlier, but imo the song in this video would make a great soundtrack in the station and queue.

I think Spirit Song likes it being held in the middle of summer since thats when a lot of kids are out of school so families and even youth groups can go. I used to go to Spirit Song with my old youth group and I can tell you that holding it in the summer helps with the attendance of the event.

Spirit Song is held during the summer for a few days and there are concerts throughout the day. So it wouldn't work in Soak City.

Never in a million years would they relocate Maverick to Kings Island. They won't do that either. I hope this is a joke. They would have to build a new ampitheatre so that they can continue to host Spirit Song. Or they could make Spirit Song similar to Rock The World at Holiday World where people can set up a blanket in the grass back behind Banshee and Bat and they can set up a stage so that they can still do the acts and stuff. If Holiday World can do it, so can KI.

Kings Island actually owns the land GWL sits on. They can build close to it if they wanted since they own the land. I think if they removed Timberwolf, they would build a new and improved theatre behind Banshee so that they can still host Spiritsong and music in the parks.

^^Or Don Helbig goes to the trolling section of the tractor store and buys a lift to troll enthusiasts with to think a giga is coming.

That lift has always been there. Although, I have heard rumors swirling around that this is the last season for Invertigo. If Invertigo were to leave, then congo falls will probably end up going as well. Fun Fact: I actually know the guy who ran the crane for both Invertigo and WindSeeker!

Now back on the giga topic, I found this giga Planet Coaster concept of a giga in Xbase. I'm not a big fan of the name, it's more six flags. If ki we're to get a giga in Xbase, I would call it power force if I were them. This is imo one of the best Planet Coaster concepts.

I don't think we're getting it for the 50th. I think 2021 is our year. Parks don't tend to celebrate anniversaries with big new attractions.

Matt Ouiment said no changes to the entrance

I don't think that would happen 1) it would take away the purpose of The Beast and 2) it's too close to Diamondback. Putting it in Coney Mall or Xbase would be a better option in my opinion.

What if they chose to go 395 feet and call the coaster Savage 395!! I made up that name a few years ago and would talk about it with my class mates and they all loved it. Now that I look back, Savage 395 is the dumbest name I've ever made up.

A giga does not need a mid course break run to run 3 trains. Look at Fury and Leviathan. They are so long and it takes a bit to climb the lift hill so it doesn't need a MCBR. Remember several months ago we talked about to not remove those maintenance facilities, but good idea though even though it's a mirrored Fury 325. At least we have the idea. The real one would probably have a similar layout to Fury, plus adding new elements.

Maybe the whole giga crane thing was a small hint for the future after Mystic Timbers. I know those games have been there since 2016, but maybe there was a reason behind them. Maybe they were hinting to the next 5 years. I think Mystic Timbers was a set up coaster to soak up the crowds the giga would bring and then the giga would bring those people back. I joked around when the new Marriott hotel for KI drive was announced saying "They are doing that for the crowds the giga will bring." I'm kinda joking on this whole giga crane thing, but maybe it means more about the future of Kings Island

But a lot of those were added years ago. Cedar Fair hasn't put low capacity rides in their large parks lately. Invertigo was added when Paramount owned the park. Firehawk was added because it was in good condition and needed to be relocated. If KI were to get an RMC, it would be either a ground up woodie or a Trex. I think we should get a giga from B&M because KI could use another people eater. Banshee does an amazing job at that. I think with the four seat across seating, it would really help the crowds and the huge line it'll get on opening weekend. I also think our giga should have some sort of soundtrack in the station and queue like MT.

I am highly against Kings Island getting a Raptor track! Cedar Fair would not place a very low capacity ride at one of their highest attended parks. This is not Six Flags. If they do remove Invertigo and Congo Falls, then I think that would be an ok spot for a giga. Remember back earlier in the forum we had some guys (including me) send layout sketches of a giga in that area.

Currently I'm in the we don't 100% need a giga, but will most likely happen camp since Kings Island is the only "major" Cedar Fair park without a giga and how it would be a GP eye catcher and draw a ton of people to the park and the area. Won't happen as long as me or Don Helbig are on this Earth!

Look at Fury 325. The second hill is only 180 feet tall. Mostly Fury stays low to the ground since its focus is maintaining the 95 mph from drop to brakes. Beast never took "best wooden coaster" in my personal rankings. I prefer Mystic Timbers over Beast. Imo there is a better wooden coaster in Indiana called The Voyage, but I deeply respect your opinion. I honestly think a hidden first drop would be nice since the GP has no idea what the drop would be like and it would probably scare the mess out of some of them.

As much as I would love something like Maverick, I don't see it happening since Cedar Fair doesn't work with Intamin. A giga would actually be a GP eye catcher. The thought of dropping over 300 feet at over 90 mph is something that catches the GPs eye.

I was unable to open that link as well. I agree that it is early. Imo maybe the location where the old dig site was could be where a turn is. I think it's a possibility that we could be seeing more action later this season.

He did say that as well, but when the guy asked if the area would be open for people to walk through, he said not yet.

Mike Koontz did say before Dino's closed that the Dino's area won't be open to the public quite yet and he didn't say why. Where are these green things located in the park?

They use that sign currently for field of screams at haunt, but I think they could've easily taken it down and put it back up for haunt. So maybe that could become the new coaster's sign. I saw that on Facebook! Very interesting. The area where they are clearing imo could be where the drop and first overbank are (If its a giga)

Update. Hold your hopes down since this might be just blocking the area, but it looks like by the way the fence is set up, it's temporary. I peeked through the fence on Pass preview and I didn't see much, but that could change in the coming months since (I might be wrong) Fury 325s construction didn't start until Fall 2014. We could very well see teasers pop up mid season and construction begin mid season. But, I do recommend we do not get our hopes up for a giga next year, but we won't know until they announce it. I just think that this fence isn't permanent since I think they will open up the area back there and the fence looks to be set up like something is going there.

Most of the time, investments aren't really about what the park needs, but it's about what would bring more money to the park. A giga would bring lots of crowds to Kings Island since a 300+ foot tall coaster is a GP eye catcher. It would also bring lots of money to Kings Island, to Cedar Fair, and the area. I like the location that you put though, but imo it isn't the most likely option. Kings Island actually owns the property GWL sits on. Even the Web in West Chester is on the giga hype train as well
