If this is really 275 ft I’m going to be slightly disappointed. A giga is a giga I guess.

I wish I worked in marketing, seems like such a fun job to have.

If this is truly a marking attempt then Kings Islands marking department needs a raise....

Let’s not accuse each other of being the leaker, that adds nothing to this conversation.

The only reason I don’t think it’s fake is the fact that it’d be very hard to get your hands on such a highly detailed map. Does anyone have any idea how this map may have been acquired? I mean this map doesn’t even have Firehawk so it’s super up to date.

Decoding 2020
Yep and that’s exactly what these leaks suggest... some even rumor we might not even have a 300 ft tall coaster.

Yellow looks like the top of a hill and blue looks like the bottom of the hill.

^ Carowinds went over 3 million? I don’t think I’ve heard that anywhere. I still thought it was in the 2-3 million range

I got around 4,500

Yes, Kings Island is about 730 Acres. As you mention the land does get rough but to be quite honest this giga coaster blocks a lot of potential room to expand in my option. X-Base is once again pinned in (Which was the problem to begin with).

Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t carowinds gotten the two most expensive coasters CedarFair has ever built? Knowing they spent 30+ million on copperhead strike really makes me question why they’d not spend an equal amount on this giga coaster. If you ask me giga coasters deliver a higher ROI then a multilaunch looper. Guess we’ll find out at the end of the season how much it helps out Carowinds.

I don’t think any tunnels will be built, we probably would have seen that in the blueprints (Assuming the blueprint is legit)

Has any park ever done something that extreme? The main thing I have against this theory is would the park make a teaser like this that has only made people upset.
-
Decoding 2020
Yes but that image wasn’t created by the park. Appears to sadly have just been a coincidence.

Only one person was able to get a screenshot of the photo before they got taken down. The originally uploaded PDF’S featured a tad bit more of detail.

So fury is 6 degrees steeper? Very surprising it’s not even the same steepness. Granted the angles might not be accurate in the photo.

The whole ride has been shown, it was just to big to fit into a single photo.

The same way they marketed Diamondback, Kings Islands tallest and fastest rollercoaster.

But the video is just a concept based off of the leaked layout. It is by no means the actual product or legitimate. Still cool though It looks to be at the 300 ft mark since it’s top speed is at 92 mph. The track is just over 5,000 ft long.

Love the color scheme! Very much hoping for a Navy Blue track.

Is it the giga length everyone wanted? No. Is it still a giga coaster? Yes! Only a few parks in the world have a giga coaster and Kings Island is about to become one of the lucky few. Sure it might not break any records but that doesn’t mean it won’t be the best ride in the park. Who knows what kind of elements this ride will have. I don’t get how receiving a brand new 28+ million dollar coaster is a bad thing....

It looks like the queue will of course be expanded, I currently see 3 structures that are going to be built into the queue (Likely just shade covered)

Decoding 2020
I just see way to my signs pointing to the fact it’s real, I don’t think Don would have poured that much time into making these fake blueprints when there still aren’t any teasers up at the park. All these blueprints have done is make people disappointed which is the opposite of what they’d want.

We more or less got lucky someone broke their NDA.
