People do stuff like this on the Internet all the time. It’s nothing new ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah I know, doesn’t change the fact it’s incredibly pathetic

Kind of sad to think someone took to time to do that with the intention of making a bunch of people sad or upset. I’ve gotta say pretty creative way to do that though.

I doubt there’s any way to call the county and confirm if there’s actually a permit number?

Wait it might be real! The permits links are typed in like.

Alright so while visiting the park this weekend my fiance picked up a little Kings Island Pamplet to look at while we were trying to get my phone back...... Upon reading it she asked me about Island Nights, I have never heard of it before but based on the description it seems like that glow party thing that they do at CP. So today with some extra time i jump on Kings Islands website to check it out some more but i didnt see anything about it on there. Anyone of any additional info on it?

I don't think I'm understanding what you're saying. Can you clarify?
I though you meant that the floats would be coming from the red buildings behind racer. And the reason that wouldn’t cause the removal of the arch is because those floats would have to go under The Racer which has a smaller opening then the arch had.

Anyone else notice there’s often times only one employee at the register at the new restaurant? Guessing it’ll be better staffed once the summer season kicks in.

Orion all the way, although Polaris is alright. Anything but a Beast themed name will do!

Yeah I was asking my self last week if that sign had always been then and if I had just never noticed.

Has anyone considered that the X Base sign may have been taken down because that’s where the parade floats might come from? The Nick Parade floats were too tall for the Coney Mall arch and it was temporarily removed during its run.
But the former arch is bigger then the path through The Racer so that doesn’t really make sense

I always run into the same problem as you, none of my friends ever want to ride Drop Tower so I end up riding it by my self. Anyways glad you had a great time at Kings Island!

WatchOS is still a very limited operating system, I don’t know they could do much with an app on there. I’d rather them accept Apple Pay which I’d use way more often with my watch.

I thought about something today. What if they trademarked those two names to rename Flight of Fear and then use the other name on the new ride? Could you imagine that everyone?
If they were to retheme fof (Like several users here have suggested) then the new name seems totally reasonable.

Just enjoy seeing this thread and cannot wait till the Q&A session at Coasterstock for someone to have the guts to ask what is going on
“I see you’re moving ahead with your plans to rmc racer, when can we see the ride complete?”

^I believe we are all missing the point that Cedar Fair trademarked not one, but two names. Am I crazy for thinking one could go to KI and one could go to KD?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI saw someone suggest they filed two because they’re both so basic they could get rejected so they chose to file two Incase one gets rejected. Maybe one of the names could be the name of a large flat ride also if they choose to expand the area?

Ok guys, so let's gather our thoughts here.
Those of you with more experience, what do you think is the most likely type of attraction at this point given only what information we have now? Would you say a Giga still seems fairly likely? Or are we looking at something else at this point?
We know that CF has trademarked Orion and Polaris. What do we think the chances are this is related to this ride? At what point did people figure out the name Banshee and Mystic Timbers?
Does anyone think there's a possibility that no new coaster is coming? And all of this is related to something else, or something that could be coming further down the line like 2021? I'm definitely not saying that's my opinion, just wondering what you guys think the odds are of that being the case based on previous attractions being built.
1. There’s so many things that have been stated that give a giga coaster almost complete certainty in my opinion at this point, I’ll list a few - Mike’s Statements, Notice of commencement, the giga track, the land clearing & Cedar Fairs trends / History. I say the final nail in the coffin will be 1 of two things, if the clearing grows any more or a backbone footer is poured.
2.The names certainly do seem like a logical and reasonable fit for X-Base, and since at the moment only Kings Island has major land clearings I’d say one of those names is bound for Kings Island
3. A new coaster / major addition is almost certainly coming in the near future (The land clearing and the notice of commencement practically confirm it) the only debate is when it’ll be built but once again the Notice of commencement suggest that the attraction should start to take shape in 2019 and be finished in 2020.
Of course this could all change at any given moment but at this point it looks like Kings Island will receive a Bolliger & Mabillard giga coaster that would be set to open in 2020.

In regards to light packages I hope they do what fury did and have the Lift hill be light up by a light strip, looks so cool at night.

While waiting in line for Mystic Timbers this morning, I had the most obnoxious group of guys behind me. They were loud, racist, making sexist comments about the (probably underage) girls in the line, shouting the N word, fatshaming people, talking about their "size," and one of them, the one who looked like he owns the "Free Candy" van from the other thread, was going on about how "sexy" he was.
I know we have a few both current and previous employees, would the park remove these guess if you were to report it to a ride operator? Just wondering.

I would just be happy with some space instrumentals. Unless Cedar Fair has money hidden to hire Giacchino or another Hollywood composer, I'm perfectly content with a nice soundtrack of space instrumentals.
I'm hoping for a blue and grey colour scheme, but I'm assuming that it probably won't be exactly that because of Millenium Force to the north.
I’d very much like for the company that made Mystic Timbers soundtrack to make one for the new coaster.

If you truly think Kings Island isn’t on the map let me ask you this, when ever Kings Island does anything (The Clearing, Renovations ect) does it get a lot of attention online? Nearly everything Kings Island did this off season received a decent amount of attention online. The Beast prints for example received a large amount of attention on various sites (Like Reddit) even thought they’re a bunch of paw prints.... Now compare that to a park like CGA that redid several ride signs, repainted the Drop Tower ect, did you see a lot of attention on that? No not really. Sure any park can get attention from a roller coaster but the parks on the map get attention for nearly everything they do.
Edit - Sorry for bringing this up again, didn’t realize there was an entire page I didn’t read that concluded the “Argument

What? Kings Island has plenty of good coasters 4 of which I’d argue would be in CP’S top 8. But honesty who cares? Kings Island already has a great collection, the notion that Kings Islands line up is severely lacking a major roller coaster is complete nonsense. I’d rather take Kings Islands atmosphere over Cedar Points coaster line up any day.

Maybe they’re planning on expanding the maintenance roads? I noticed today the maintenance road right next to The Beast during the hill after the first lift hill looks like it might be expanded or rerouted.

^ I guess it’s probably just normal utility maintenance.... if theoretically the coaster went out there (Which I know it wouldn’t) that’d be really really really cool and massive.

I mean to be fair when you click on the link without reading the user name you get incredibly excited and lose all sense of logic and then you end up noticing it’s fake after you already posted a comment.
