FUN&ONLY!

Maybe a potential teaser?

This looks so amazing!

The stream was so blurry, I missed the name and pretty much the whole announcement video...

This seems appropriate! LOL!

I am so nervous! LOL! I don’t know why, but I am! Is anyone else feeling the same way?

Your love for Intamin keeps this forum interesting! LOL! I also love you and @Hawaiian Coasters 325layouts that you draw up. I know we would all love to see more!

Maybe he is going to make a special appearance during the announcement. It makes sense with the announcement video that was leaked a little while back! Ask him to take off his mask to reveal his true cyborg self...

Before the announcement, I would like to thank everyone for allowing us to be where we are right now. If it weren’t for the work of all of you, this thread would not have been so successful. It was a truly enjoyable experience, and I am glad I got to experience it firsthand. I would like to thank some people individually: @sixohdieselrage, thank you so much for those aerial photos. They really helped us get a better idea of the scale of this coaster. @RuthlessAirtime and @DustinTheNow, thanks for those awesome concept videos you created. They really were amazing! @collin.klopfstein, thank you for all of the track updates. You were the one to first see the blue track and tell us about it. @Fye Coasters and @Magenta Lizard, thank you so much for those awesome construction and teaser updates. We all enjoyed seeing those. @BSBMX and @fryoj, thanks for the blueprint decoding and answers to questions we had. Those were super helpful. @Bansheeback, thank you for getting us those blueprints. Those were crucial to the decoding. @Hawaiian Coasters 325 and @Maverick44, thank you for those awesome giga concepts you used to make. They were really cool, and I enjoyed them! Thanks to all of those who I may have forgotten to mention who played a big role in the decoding of the project. Your help was also greatly appreciated! While I certainly thank these people for all they have done, I would also like to thank each and every one of you who I didn’t mention for being here and contributing to the decoding. I really enjoyed all of it.

That would make sense, honestly. Now is the time for the park to have some track on site, so they can display it later during the big announcement.

The only non GP Cincinnati news anchor is John Matarese. However, I don’t mind the other news anchors being GP as long as they fully deliver the clues to the people watching. I thought the first guy and the guy from WLWT did a great job, making news stories and videos and later following up with an article. The person yesterday did an okay job, but she was not very good at communicating the information. I hope this person from Fox19 gets it right, and we get the full clue!

Why does 10:00 PM still feel so far away? LOL!

Hey... I voted for Intamin in the “Your Favorite Manufacturer” thread just for you! LOL!

Hmm... time for some interrogation now... LOL!

I wish I could! LOL! It was just a joke. I will, however, still post the link tomorrow around 11:00 PM (which is after the announcement). LOL!

Like I said previously... I promise I will have a link for you guys around 11:00 PM tomorrow night. I guarantee you on that! LOL! But maybe, just maybe someone will actually be able to find the hidden webpage for the new ride before then? I was unsuccessful and @decyferite also tried, but maybe someone else will figure it out before tomorrow and before the big announcement.

Sorry, I was just kidding! LOL! That is why I said 11:00 tomorrow night because the website will be public then after the official announcement. In all seriousness, just like you, I was trying for a little while to see if I could find a page on Kings Island’s website for the new ride that had not been made public yet, but I was unsuccessful.

Guys... I think I found something! I did some messing around with the urls on Kings Island’s website, and I found a working page in progress for the new ride. It has all of the stats, the logo, and some renderings. The ride really does look amazing, and the backstory is even better! I have to finish up some work right now, so I will try to share the link a little later... probably around 11 or so tomorrow night! You can count on it! Sorry for letting you down guys, but it was just a joke which I should have made more clear... you can feel free to call me a troll.

I changed the settings, so you can now see who voted for what. Just click on the people icon.

If they did, I think it would be at the current fastest ride in the park as it would probably lose its record when the giga comes in 2020.

This makes me feel like there will be more to the announcement than just the giga. Carowinds said their 2019 announcement was the biggest in park history when they had previously announced Fury 325. It was the biggest announcement because in addition to Copperhead Strike, they announced a newly themed area and a new hotel. I could see a full X-Base overhaul or just simple aesthetic improvements to the area (which go a long way), but I am keeping my hopes modest because we are already getting a giga. Any new coaster is worth being excited for!

I wonder where they got the idea! LOL!

So are we expecting John Matarese to find the next clue at Kings Island tomorrow? That would make sense continuing the trend of local news stations uncovering exclusive clues each day leading up to the big announcement.

For all it’s worth, Canada’s Wonderland is offering the same promotion, and they said that the Platinum Pass will be included.

We have @RuthlessAirtime to thank for that! It was honestly a pretty amazing concept video!
