They say The Bat is 78 feet tall, but also say it has a 90 foot lift hill though. I'm more confused now than when I asked.
The Bat takes you up 90 ft from where you started (The Station) but since it’s on a hill it’s only 78 ft above the ground.

Yes, I saw the pic on here, I believe. It had the 2020 calendar, and had the number 355 on it. I think a lot of people on here saw it too.
Are you referring to this? Credit goes to https://www.themeparkarchive.com/parks/kings-island/flight-of-fear

The Christmas posters in FoF during Winterfest had an astral type of theme and hinted at 2020 and 355.
Are you serious? Please tell me someone has photos.

Oooo I really like both those names! Polaris is my favorite of the two.

I don't think think so, because the pictures sixohdieselrage provided a week ago show the clearing going to about the halfway point of Beast's break run, while beastgal says it goes to the end now, and more trees were falling.
It went to about the end of the Break Run last week, the trees they heard falling could be 2 things, 1 they’re expanding the clearing or 2 they’re removing a few trees that are scattered through out the clearing back there.

^^ I think you slightly misinterpreted their statements. From to what it appears the clearing’s boundary didn’t expand but it seems like most of the work was done on the already cleared land. They seem to have been getting tree remains and various other objects off site while also removing some trees still in the middle of the cleared section.

I’m going to CP next weekend for two days and was wondering how likely it is to see teasers for the KI new ride there? I can’t remember if they have done teasers at other parks in the past or not.
Last season there was a wave of references at Cedar Point about several parks in the chain, one of those parks being Kings Island. Considering Kings Island close proximity to Cedar Point and the events that occurred last season I’d say there’s an ok chance that we could see teasers at some point at Cedar Point.

I'm at the park tonight and rode Racer. I saw some stakes in the ground and I found one in the grassy area in The Racer near Action Theater. Kinda interesting.
My guess is that it’s going to be piping. I kind of hope they don’t go over The Racer (Or over The Beast for that matter)

^ They definitely were cleaning up the site this week, getting the remains of the trees out ect.

Wow those are high! Really glad those PVC pipes are gone they were really noticeable imo. The fire work show surely is going to be spectacular come summer.

Yeah that’s definitely track.

Thanks for postiing that. I believe the coaster may interact with Beast like a large turnaround or such over/under The Beast's brake shed, 2nd drop and behind Action Theater and Racer's turnarounds.
Yeah I was wondering about that too last weekend when there was a clearing at the bottom of the 2nd hill. I’m really hoping it doesn’t go back there.

The best view to see if the clearing has changed would probably be The Beast, if the clearing now extends past the end of the straight section then it’s expanded.

Is there just track there or are there any supports, too?
Yes there’s a ton of supports on site, if you watch Midway mayhems video you can see the supports.

Anyone know if the thickness of this piece of track is giga specific? Or does it become this thick on normal hypers also? If it is giga specific it looks very very similar to some of MCT’s track in my opinion.

This track(One in the very back) looks absolutely huge, anyone know if that’s backbone? I’m guessing maybe not since I don’t see an area for the chain lift.

@Ben43065 F9641 is another number on the same color track.
Oh now I see what you mean, it appears it maybe apart of the lift section like these other pieces of track with the same number.

^ Why do you mean by other number, are you referring to the 18? The rollercoasters have the same paint job so theyre almost certainly going to Hershey (Not referring to the gray track) the number could mean several different things, could be the order the track gets shipped out, could be the order the track was made, could be the order the track needs to be installed ect. There’s several different shots of the gray track that appear to be absolutely massive (Granted B&M track is huge to begin with) id say give it a week and we might see Back Bone.

Here’s a YouTube video from Midway Mayhem if you wanted a video of the track

How many track pieces are there for fury and how many track pieces are there for the average hyper? The one of the left looks like it says MCT 890.

Ok this is what I can make out of the picture above... words in brackets I’m not positive on...
Firehawk Hydro Fuel
Prevents downtime and (29’s)?
Hydraulic raising and lowering applications
Lubricates loading gates
Immediate results during (block)? Testing
Protects integrity of all engines and (lift)? Motors
Manufactured for Fort Cooper military compound Coney mall OH
What’s everyone think?? Anything to do with our Xbase mystery or is it antique autos?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThe sticker also references the closing date, id say this is almost certainly an Easter egg and not actual teasing.

I don’t know if this is a teaser but the photo makes it look very much temporary and not a long term prop or theming. Wonder if we’ll see any teasers come Friday. I kind of doubt it is considering there’s a similar looking sticker of Maverick. Here’s an article showing the several references from other parks. https://www.coaster101.com/2019/04/06/examining-the-easter-eggs-of-carowinds-blue-ridge-junction/

Decoding 2020
in Kings Island
Posted
I don’t know much about construction I assume it’d be easier to expand the clearing if it wasn’t filled with debris, there’s quite a bit of reasons I could think of why they’re cleaning up the site now instead of expanding it (Maybe they needed to install utilities soon so they had to clean the site up ect). Guess only time will tell.
