FUN&ONLY!

I don’t know how much this is related, but did anyone else see that B&M filed a trademark for a “Surf Coaster?” I know this is not KI’s 2020 roller coaster, but it is interesting...

I am not sure the transition from Arrow to B&M track will be all that smooth...

I would be all for an Intamin launch coaster coming to the park, but Cedar Fair seems to be working with Mack Rides now. In the future, I do see Cedar Fair eventually working with Intamin again as their rides are cheaper than Mack’s. Also, part of me does not even see us getting a straight-up launch coaster anytime soon, from any manufacturer, because Cedar Point is so close, and their launch coaster is one their stand-out attractions. I could see a Mack Spinning Coaster, however, but I don’t feel like that would be as great... but that is my opinion.

I am one of those people who will be perfectly happy with either name. I just want a cool-looking logo for the ride!

Luckily, it wasn’t my phone!

I personally don’t mind how the fountains look at all! I think the renovation makes them more interesting to watch as they actually move and dance to the music during the day. And at night, even though I didn’t get the full experience, they are ten times better than they were last year as they light up and jump to the music (I am really looking forward to seeing the full show next time I visit)! Even if the new fountains were absolute garbage, like some people have said, the newly renovated International Street more than makes up for that. The park didn’t have to do this for us at all, but they wanted to do to it in order to improve OUR guest experience! The thought behind it was to make it more enjoyable for us. I am not saying “shut up and be grateful,” because we all have our own opinions, but it is like when you were young and you got a gift that you were not very fond of... you still said “thank you” because that person went the extra mile to give you something they thought you would enjoy. That was most definitely Cedar Fair’s intention behind the new International Street, and I think we should all appreciate what they, as a company, have done to make us have a better experience at the park.

The slowness of that last inversion is what makes it so good, especially when your phone falls out of your pocket...

That is really good to know because on Tuesday I passed up a night ride on The Beast just to see the new Royale Finale, and the fountains kept on turning off. I hope to see the fountains working correctly next time I visit as I think they look pretty cool... when they work...

Did the fountains work as they should?

From the earlier videos I have seen from the first night of the Royale Finale, they never died down once they started.

The park could remove Vortex and put a Mack or Intamin launch coaster there. I feel like every season, Vortex’s popularity declines, and as it keeps on aging, the park will eventually take it out. I think a launch coaster would fit perfectly there as everyone would stand around and watch it, and it would be a an absolute GP magnet. My only doubt with this happening is that it would make that general are of the park more crowded with Mystic Timbers, Diamondback, and The Beast nearby. It would make more sense to put it on the left side of the park near Action Zone or Oktoberfest. Or to replace Vortex they could always go the dive route... I know the GP will like that...

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I know that I am not the only one looking forward to see what you have produced! At this point, I don’t know who’s not looking forward to it!

Is the fountain show still not working properly? I was there last night, and the fountains seemed to stop for some time whenever they all shot up pretty high!

DustinTheNow, I am really starting to like the layout of Kings Island’s 2020 giga based off of your design. If the actual coaster is anything close to your No Limits 2 design, I think we are all in for a treat! On a side note, do you know when Amusement Insiders will upload that POV?

I saw that too! It looks like it packs quite a punch for not even being over 200 feet. I think it is 164 feet tall to be exact, and it looks better than most of the actual B&M hypers. Some people need to understand that height is not everything. Maybe our giga that is not actually 300 feet tall will be better than most of the other gigas?

How bad are the wait times today? I am thinking about maybe going a little bit later.

I do not think that you will be able to use your dining plan if the park is going to be closed, unfortunately. I say this because I don’t think you will have the opportunity to scan your pass for admission if other people from the public are not coming through the gates. If restaurant venues are open however, maybe, just maybe, they will hear you out, but I am not sure it works like that...

I was referring to them as temporary tents because someone had mentioned that they do not need to have plans filed with the City of Mason only if the structure is temporary. I was wondering why no plans had been filed for this new structure, and apparently, they would be only need to be filed if it was going to be a permanent structure. But maybe we are missing something?

I have only been to one private event at the park, and they had catered food provided but am not sure that is for all events or just for the one I was at. Is your event during an actual daily operations day or on a separate day when the park is closed? I think the larger ones are on days when the park is closed.

If it is for storage, wouldn’t you think that they would keep it up year-round. Where are they going to put the floats when the tent is taken down?

Only about the eighth thread from him in the past 20 minutes...

What is the point of this thread anymore? Someone already created a thread called “Decoded 2020,” so why are people still trying to decode Project X? Edit: Looks like the thread was taken down. It must have had too many juicy details on Project X! I am joking...

Shouldn’t there be plans or something that would be filed with the city for this?

I could see that too, and I would like how it would fit into the area, unlike most haunts!

For some reason, these structures scream X-Base to me, and because it looks as if they would fit in with the theme, I am thinking the building is more than just storage. Why would they build something that looks like that just to store some things in?
