Hawaiian Coasters 325

It's very hard to explain the theme I'm going for in that one. Basically I'm going with a futuristic/tech theme more like Helix at Liseberg or Tron at Disney. That's where the LED lights comes in. Heres a video of a concept with the theming I'm going for: https://youtu.be/VIu7B26xhU8

Made another blitz concept. Can't really come up with a name, but I'll say it's basically themed around LED lights and has a giant tower with LED spotlights in the center

They're okay, but I just feel that the checkerboards don't fit now as it isn't Paramount anymore. Delirium had its checkerboard removed in 2014 when Banshee opened. Don't want to be negative, but I just feel this is a big missed opportunity to not remove them. You must be thinking of the advertisement that goes ON the KI theater building that faces the entry plaza. That's not what this is as the KI Theater is on the other side of Invertigo.

welp, looks like we are stuck with the checkerboards. EDIT: also does anyone know what the grey thing is on the left behind the trees? I don't think I've seen that before. Also, why don't I see congo falls? Could trees be blocking in the way or is it more out of the picture?

Harmony Hall is basically the same exact thing as Festhaus unless they give it different theming and different food options. Maybe a Saloon since it's basically on the border of Rivertown or give it a standard food court thing and redo Festhaus and make it a German place.

**DOUBLE POST** I made a more custom Intamin multi launch/blitz layout that follows the terrain. It features a double down out of the station which is a first for the blitzes and it also features a zero g roll station flythrough similar to Lech Coaster at Legendia. Basically is a crossover of Velocicoaster and some Mack and Vekoma like elements. The queue would start in the arcade building and go down into the valley and snake up to the station.

The big rumor it is for the new chef inspired restaurant coming to Frontier Town next year as told in this article: https://ir.cedarfair.com/news/news-details/2021/Cedar-Fair-Unveils-Exciting-Plans-for-2022-Operating-Season-Including-Upgraded-Safari-Village-Area-at-Kings-Dominion-50th-Anniversary-Celebration-at-Kings-Island-Fun-Filled-Seasonal-Events-and-Upgraded-Lodging-and-Dining-Venues/default.aspx This is a decent sized plot for a nice restaurant. Maybe it'll have indoor seating with a show stage like Carowinds' Harmony Hall?

I believe Six Flags has that name trademarked with Lex Luthor Drop of Doom at SFMM

I wouldn't say that. There hasn't been any announcement or evidence other than just rumors that Timberwolf is completely gone.

A little off topic, but it does sound like SpiritSong is planning to return. I went on their website today, while you can't access anything it has this message on it "Spiritsong will be back. We'll let you know as soon as spiritsong comes back. Thank you for your understanding." The reason I take this as good news is because I went on that same website a few weeks ago and it had the cancellation statement that was released in 2020 with a different background picture and it never changed until recently. I know this doesn't mean much, but it does sound like the organizers of Spirit Song is hoping to move forward with their event. We'll see though. Link to site: https://spiritsongfest.com/ Screenshot of message: EDIT: also, for those who don't know, SpiritSong is actually organized by an outside festival promoter called Premier Festivals along with the ones at Carowinds, Cedar Point, Kings Dominion, and Dollywood. So it's not the park who mainly organizes these events, they just host them.

That's my thoughts as well. Sorry if I came off a little aggressive, but I was just saying the park worked really hard on this logo and someone calls it cheap and bland that is a little disrespectful, but it's their opinion and I respect it.

Wow some of you are so hateful to those who spent all that time designing this. While I do agree the logo could've been a little better, I think they did an excellent job with it. They worked really hard on this logo and I think we should settle down and appreciate it. This is giving me flashbacks to the Orion announcement and to when the blueprints got leaked.

While I'm not expecting it to be 100% the same as Cedar Point's, I'm really hoping it is similar. In fact, the live band they had in their show reminded me alot of the River City Band that performs in the bandstand shows at KI every year. I think a show similar to Cedar Point's with River City would be so good!

I really like the logo and it's very exciting they are painting all those rides at once. The sparkle tower is pretty nice. I wonder if they'll make the tower sparkle at night maybe during the Royal Finale next year? I think in 2010/2011 during the Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular days, they made the tower sparkle for a bit. I actually sorta remember the tower have sparkly lights during those days. Also, for the log flume I honestly think they should try and readd it to Rivertown again as it fits better there than in Snoopy. it would also pay homage to when it first opened at KI. Now, for the nightime show, I really REALLY hope that they have some sort of massive show on the Bandstand each night that resembles Cedar Point's Celebrate 150 show, but KI's version. I'll link a video to it, I really like what they did there and I love how they had a jumbotron on the stage that did crowd shots/performer shots on the stage. I seriously think KI should add those types of screens to the current bandstand which would honestly make the nighttime shows even better. I think the LED ribbon boards added in 2020 were a good start.

I would love to see the exit/Fast Lane entrance rerouted back to where it was and would also allow for an expanded Beast plaza. Maybe even move the entrance back to where it was before and reopen the old mining shop as well (red building to the right of the entrance). Didn't they also use to have a pretzel stand where the current entrance is? If so, I'd love to see them bring that back. I know this isn't too likely, but I'd love to see them get the old water mill to work again and just have a small lake under the water mill.

Had another KI dream last night. In my dream Drop Tower was getting repainted (which is actually happening yes), but also in my dream there were starting to build a giant wheel (similar to in my concepts) and I remember digging around and finding an announcement for it hidden and also in it, the Eiffel Tower was getting another 2 elevators that accesses the 50' platform

Here you go @IndyGuy4KI using your photo!

**TRIPLE POST** Here is another concept I made, This time I used a shot of Vortex from the Eiffel Tower. I couldn't get the first element after the second launch in the picture though, but it is the same thing as after the second launch on Maverick. Link to Vortex photo: https://coasterpedia.net/wiki/Vortex_(Kings_Island)

Sounds like she is looking for attention tbh. First of all, why is she suing now if this happened 2 years ago? A big question I have about this is did she have a prohibited condition and decided to ignore the warning signs? Also, lol at the news station calling it a woodie when it is a hybrid.

Maybe they are doing the bottom and the top at the same time? Helps get the job done faster

I definitely think the parking lot is on their list. However, I doubt they'd do it all at once knowing how big the lot is. They'd probably do it in phases over a few offseasons.

Last night, I had a dream where it was opening day 2022 and there was a new restaurant overlooking the whole park (likely in the Eiffel Tower) and it had a buffalo wing buffet and I remember looking down and noticing a giant land clearing behind Orion with footers already poured and I remember looking over to @IndyGuy4KI who was enjoying his chicken wings and I pointed at the clearing and said "It's time for a decoding 2023 thread" lol and I remember promising him that I won't be messaging John Matarese this time lol

Scream n Swing would honestly be a better fit in Rivertown where the old Crypt building is. Like what other people have mentioned before, removed the giant part of the building and keep the queue part as the queue for the new ride and give it a mining theme.

Just came up with an Action Zone expansion concept. This is if KI/CF just wants to keep it "Action Zone" and make it just a standard area of the park with no "theme" other than it just being an area with lots of Action. What I did here is removed Congo and Timberwolf along with the buildings behind it and made a new midway with a few new attractions. Congo Falls is replaced by a giant wheel and a Mondial top scan. The timberwolf plot is used for a new food stand and tables, a nice fountain with LED lighting, a ropes course (upcharge), a zamperla discovery, and a skyscraper ride (upcharge). As you can probably tell, this was inspired a lot by The Island in Pigeon Forge. Even if unlikely and not what a lot of us see or want to see in Action Zone, I think an expansion like this would be pretty cool. Just a concept like always.

**DOUBLE POST** Made another concept. This time the launch lift is facing the same direction Vortex's lift faced. This would allow for nice footage opportunities of the drop from The Beast's exit ramp. It also would allow the second element to be a drop into the valley while banking to the left. I also changed the color scheme to allow it to fit Coney Mall better. The name is still Stallion and how it fits into Coney Mall is in the storyline, Coney Mall is a County Fair and the main character showed off his or her patriotic Stallion every year as a 4H project and got blue ribbons and champion ribbons each year and now people get to take a wild ride through the woods and valleys on the award winning stallion. The entrance and queue is very similar to how Vortex worked where you go up and over the station this time in a covered bridge and the queue house is the building with the red, white, and blue roof.
