Hawaiian Coasters 325

I'm here!

I'm on my way down right now. I'll be in section 126 I believe with my church group.

Then either GWL would take it down or Don would find out and rush over and take it down lol.

Cedar Point and Knott's are celebrating big anniversaries this year (150 and 100) and are they getting coasters? No. The fact that CP did not build a coaster for their anniversary makes me rule out a coaster for Kings Island's 50th completely. I think 2022 will be a celebration year. Coaster 2024-25 and it doesn't have to be in The Vortex plot of land if they do what I think they'll likely do.

El Toro Ryan put out this video yesterday. I don't think we should freak out or panic, but I think we should stay tuned and wait and see if something happens that could affect Kings Island.

If I could bring anything back to KI, I would try and get a Nickelodeon license and bring back Nickelodeon Universe!

Found this video from Amusement Insiders about how Coronavirus could impact the amusement industry. Thoughts??

Not surprising. Kings Local Schools is my local school district and they are running out of room for students and are currently trying to get a bond issue passed to be able to do some big projects.

KDFans seems to have uncovered these blueprints. Doesn't seem to be coaster blueprints, but it's pretty interesting. Looks like just the Crypt area.

Is there any proof on that?

That's right now my prediction if it's not a coaster. Especially with the direction Cedar Fair is going in with more immersive experiences.

Right now, I'm not really betting on a coaster for The Vortex spot. However, I would definitely do an RMC or a multi launch if it was up to me.

Yeah I thought that guy did an outstanding job. However I do disagree on this thoughts about Banshee, but it's all about opinion and I respect everyone's opinion. Although, I do see how people could be let down about Banshee because of the size of the land and what occupied that space. I do hope the park eventually finds a way to use that left over land from Son of Beast.

I entered yesterday. I definitely will enter every week.

I wish that could be a ride so we could all do it lol

Why do we even have this discussion in the first place lol. I absolutely DO NOT want Disney to buy Cedar Fair and I believe it will never EVER happen.

Yes, but the theme doesn't really go with Rivertown too much.

I don't believe we'll see one of those low capacity rides. Tbh I think maybe we could see a Mack or Primer launch coaster be built with that kind of theme. Tbh I wonder how a West Coast Racers type ride would work. Maybe giving it a horse derby type theme.

A little hard to see, but it turns out you can see Orion from my neighborhood!

Yeah those are just the vertical pieces on the haidrail. However, I do see a strip on the handrail that look kinda blue imo. Maybe that's a similar light strip to Fury. However, we don't know.

They usually don't release the real pov until around the ride's opening.

Also we can see a little bit of the Quonset Hut building.

Decided to make this for what could replace Backlot Stunt Coaster if it's removed. This is an overhead of an intamin blitz (I used Maverick as a reference)

It's kinda crazy that Google maps hasn't changed yet.

He's been gone since I believe around the end of the season. He got into some type of argument with the mods I believe.
