Wonder how crowded it will be tonight. Any thoughts?

And a swim up bar, I chose CP for my bachelorette party because of that feature along with being CP there was something for my varied in ages and tastes bridal party. I still think it's a cool thing to swim up and have a drink.

And minimum you can put on the card is 5$ so that takes out the 2$ spontaneous play. Exactly, going from trying to play 2$ to the card you do start to question if you really want to.

Hubs was the lucky one finally and got 25% off a funnel cake LoL they seem very random and seldom. I know my luck I'll probably end up with a BOGO slingshot it something I don't ride LOLOL

What about getting the extras at 15$ each? Will that pop up after labor day weekend for the extra 4@15 for sun only

I miss the campground too! It was fun smelling campfires on top gun. I too think it would be nice to camp close again. The closest ones are like thirty mins away at that point I might as well drive from home.

Same, in not as young as I used to be and it's a far a** haul from fof to either the Coney or WindSeeker ones. With more foot traffic in that area adding another set would be a logical and nice thing to do for us. Fingers crossed anyways.

I hope the switch it back to one backwards again that was my favorite going that way!

Curious how much were the shirts? We left early because I had to work at 6am so we didn't stay to get any.

Maybe they'll lift a piece in the air as they announce!! Wishing thinking I know LoL here we come!!! How's wait times are they crazy?

Unless they stage it behind the fence behind the gate area and then open the gate maybe? Then those in the back get the lucky front spot either way exciting.

Very thankful they are doing lots for ki compared to others in their franchise/management. Maybe the coaster name will be AEWTWTOKI that's what the posters spell chronologically anyways. LOLOL Arial Expansion With Tall Wide Track Overlooking Kings Island... 9hrs&10 mins to go!

Never said they couldn't. Don't know why your trying to argue when you're making my point. CP has always been a peninsula and a finite amount of land. To expand they have to pay to expand the land mass by adding ground into the lake like you said they had to make land. Ki was purchased big and has room to grow for now with lots of usable space. I think this giga is a sign they definitely want ki and CP to stay on top. Which is great for commerce in Ohio.

If Disney can turn a swamp into wdw the woods at ki can be used but like I said CP had to remove things to add land. Be it a hotel or buy other land outside of what they have. And skyway attraction would be great and they could expand the train to add a stop. Plenty of room to continue growing for sure.

Ki had so much land left to develop I could think CF might transition to make CP and ki flagship parks. CP doesn't have any more being landlocked. It's just build and replace, so adding bigger stuff to ki will help Cedar Fair keep right on earning.

32 hours till we know!! I do think an expansion of that whole area with the giga would be a good move. It would look odd if it didn't have anything else as food is starting to look dated. Would be cool for a good and a flat but that's just wishful thinking. Maybe 315 height to match national coaster day

Me too!! Launch me into space!!

If their repurposing a building that already exists they only need permits not full blueprints for renovations. That area really needs a set as with growing attendance sure to the new ride it would help there as well. It's a long stretch from fof to either the ones by WindSeeker or the Coney mall ones by racer. It really needs a set. Fingers crossed anyways. Unless the gigs is the new restroom LOLOL just kidding!

It'd be nice if it's a launch system like fof. Make the hill easier for us less height loving but love the rest of the coaster after drop LoL Magnum at CP was so slow way back when I rode it and it's not even the tallest anymore.

FireRock 355 lol but that makes sense. It'd definitely need to be in so nobody tries to poach it. Polaris does means brightest star North, aka northern Star etc. If it were to fall out of the sky it's be a big hole.

Do they not typically use the names they trademark ahead of time? As once announced they'd probably want to have that secured so nobody tries to snipe it. I'm still guessing Polaris. Regardless can't wait for Thursday!!

It was to the right at the end so #teotwawki announcement poster. I can go back for another it was super hard to see my phone trying to take it.

Here's the official announcement poster I don't think I saw another post it yet.

They have stood out to me this year after having not been since like 2012 ish, as cheapened. Kings Island has always had good attendance and had no problem having the AC before in bathrooms and the festhaus. This year your lucky if you get some AC in the shops. Having the AC on also kills gems it's why hospitals are always cold. The cold air would help with the smell and sanitation. The employees do great working with what they have but some need some plumbing help. Ex Rivertown once one plugged up it seemed to effect all one after another. Poor girl could only bag them and move on. If they can bring in a giga they can afford some updates to their restrooms and fix the freaking pot holes in the parking lot.

I apologise I knew about the mechanical issues I just was speaking to theming and didn't think to add it. Though did it arrise from the change too? If it had stayed as designed would it have worn down as it did when they changed the ride operations since they couldn't do the story mode as you could call it. What I mean, I rode it all the time the years it was tomb raider and didn't seem to have the breakdowns. I rode it once (because I didn't like the new constant flips) as the crypt and it was an entirely different ride sequence with nothing but constant flips. Was this discussed id be curious if the change in pattern effected the mechanics worse than when it only flipped the times as tomb raider. Thanks though I'll look at the old threads.
