Area 51 is a government research station (particularly with aerospace) and project Orion is a simulator for space travel, Orion is just a code name.

I can see that but if it was 305 ft it still wouldn’t have been taller then the tower, It’s certainly a very interesting topic to think about. I just think it all comes down to the budget of the ride.

That sounds very fun! I think I did a little over 40 rides this Tuesday on Vortex.

Did the park state that? (Not trying to sound rude)

I think they mentioned it would be streamed via the blog I thought

Already a topic covering that, probably be better to discuss that there.

I mean most people at this point really don’t care about the height as much (It’ll still be somewhat disappointing it’s not 300 ft’ tall) I think most people’s main concern with this ride is how short it is. Yes you won’t notice it’s 25 ft smaller then Fury but what you will notice is how it’s 1,200 ft shorter then Fury 325.

I think some of the red is look country safari, but as you said it also goes into the blue area you circled. Kings dominion does own the area in red.

Yeah the whole Scanning thing half the time just looks like over exaggerate looking around, most parks just scan silently before they say clear.

I wouldn’t mind people in Fast Lane riding over and over but to get multiple T-Shirts is really aggravating. Maybe they should mark the Fast Lane pass with a marking if they’ve already gotten a t shirt.

Seaworld’s Dive coaster track is actually going to be smaller then Valravn & Yukon striker due to the small trains, the unpainted track may indeed be Dive track.

Yes the ride will most likely have Fast Lane plus, every new Cedar Fair rollercoaster has had Fast Lane offered the first season.

I don’t really think they’d close attractions to keep something secret, it just doesn’t make sense. If that were the case wind seeker would also probably be closed (Granted it is closed at least twice a day )

Technically yes if they modified the chain lift but why would you want to do that on a rollercoaster with such long trains, you waste speed and it isn’t even a vertical drop.

Canada’s wonderland also has its original waterpark name so I definitely could foresee a similar renovation with a new name.

^ I get that there’s 367 pages of information on here but it’s been mentioned several times that the only names Cedar Fair has filled trademarks for is Orion & Polaris.

The ride is probably going to cost 30ish million dollars, 15 million dollars is completely nonsensical. If people want to trash other parks be my guest, Kings Island is a great park that is incredibly well rounded, sure this giga isn’t a Fury 325 but we still have a great supporting lineup of rollercoasters (Better then a lot of the other parks in the chain).

If they were going to leave track laying around and it not be at the construction site I’d assume they place it in the parking lot? I doubt they’re going to go out of their way to hide track.

California’s great America has announced Boomerang Bay is no more, The new South Bay shores will open next year for 2020. Personally I hope the 3 other Paramount parks get similar major water park renovations with a local theme name. https://www.cagreatamerica.com/explore/south-bay-shores

I’m just jealous about the Winterfest parade, I don’t know how popular Kings Island would be during November, but it’d guess not very. I’d like to see the Peanuts celebration thing Carowinds is hosting to occur during the Spring time.

Can’t believe I still fall for that in 2019.

I believe X-Base has always been considered apart of Coney mall.

Cedar Fair doesn’t seem to be nearly reckless with their installations compared to Paramount. I highly doubt the antique cars would be removed considering how beloved they are (We also would probably still have our original Eagles) Furthermore Kings dominions large antique cars which sits right by I-Street has been removed so money is on them not being removed.

Maybe you shouldn’t have told everyone here

^ Id say what you’re describing is just Cedars Fairs overall strategy, not just Kings Islands. Cedar Fair has found that seasonal events (Particularly Haunt) has helped boost their revenue and attendance and for that reason Winterfest returned. Cedar Point doesn’t have Winterfest simply due to the fact it’s a peninsula resulting in the pipes to freeze. Cedar Point also has the frontier festival so it’s not like they don’t have seasonal events.
