Thank you bengalscoaster....
i was not intending on trying to figure out the name of the coaster at all.... i was looking up old movies earlier the exact day they posted the new ride thread on the website and was looking up komodo the movie... well i wanted to figure out more about the komodo dragon and found out lots of information about the komodo; some similar to what the signs describe at Kings Island... later that day i noticed the trailer and i saw the eye peeking out of the crate and the first thing that came to mind was Komodo... See if i cant change your mind...
Komodo dragons can usually be found on islands to be toured only buy people on boat... The splash down and the fact that the ride is held at King's Island really has me pondering... also, a komodo has scales, this means they could be very slippery when wet.
the ride was said to be a hyper coaster... most hypercoasters seat a lot of people at once and can probably be considered what people call a people eater. Komodos have the potential to devour a person.
There is a link i posted in another thread that shows a few a sign on one of the islands that said, "Caution! Komodo crossing, do not disturb, be Silent!" sound familiar??
Next... "Steep incline ahead" well have no fear or should i say "Run for the hills!!" because a komodo dragon is very fast on its feet and can very easily catch its prey in a rundown... although they can not run for a long distance the komodo dragon can both climb and swim... so i dont think it would be very smart to try to climb a tree.. lol
Notice every sign in the park looks to be in a font that looks like paint. although if i thought of paint i would think of red... Komodo dragons absolutely are attracted to the color red, not in a good way either... And guess what... the track is red go figure.
last but not least go to google and type in "Komodo Movie". there is a picture of the case of the old movie. and what do you know its a komodo dragon peaking out of a crate. The eye almost looks exactly like the one on the Kings Island website.
Now im not trying to say that the ride will be based off the movie cause i know it wont. but what i am trying to say is that Kings Island may have done a little research and probably got their ideas from other websites.
Hope you take the time to read this and understand that i truly thought out my opinion. for me... Its KOMODO all the way!!!
