KI FANATIC 37

I have been going back and forth on what type of coaster this is. Anywhere from a Giga, maverick style coaster, to an Invert. Throughout this week I have thought that it is an invert, but we already have two inverts in the same area of the park. They are different types of inverts but they are still inverted coasters. I have no idea what this coaster will be. I change my opinion on it every week.

Do we know that for sure yet?I mean like have seen any development back there. This picture right here shows equipment and footings being prepped going into the valley. Great, That is superb sign. Is that where SoB's second helix was?

Most average workers don't know what's going on. Only higher officials know the plans for the future.

Ok so I have a question, are those supports that are raised several feet off the ground behind Slingshot new or are those from KC? I'm having trouble viewing all of these photos on my mobile device.

Oh come on Don. You can't just leave us with that!

Don mentioned on Twitter today he was taking backstage trips with some KIC members.For those of you that were there, what did he say about the mystery construction. (If you asked, which Im sure you did )

Nice video, but oh heavens that music.....

You can thank my smartphone.....

.

A lot of Don's hints have hinted towards baseball. Could we be looking at a coaster based off of baseball, Like Intimidator and I305 are based off of nascar. This could always be a possibility, but he could also be talking about something not even related to the construction.

I'm starting to agree with you. Early on I was leaning towards a Giga, but now it does look like it may be a Invert. Before someone attacks me I don't have an inside scoop, just a guess.

Guys, I don't know this, but I seriously seriously doubt that they are moving Slingshot back. This is far to much work for such a little amount of extra space. It would be a waste of time and money.

The WindSeeker thing was a big deal. They were up there for like 4 hours. Thats along time especially if someone has medical problems. This was 10-15 min. I just don't kow why this is on the news....

Glad you had fun. I went to KD in 2009 and I loved it. I also can't believe you didn't like Dominator. It's one of my personal favorites. I need to get back up there and ride I305..

I agree. Yeah, I agree with you guys. I don't know why, but I never really have got the coaster "awe" experience with Inverts. Ive ridden some goods ones like Alpengeist and Raptor, and Im just not a fan. I think it is becasue unless your in the front seat, you don;t see much.

Well, those are both very good pictures and if you want my personal opinion I think they are right. Even though this doesn't tell us what type of coaster, we may be one step closer to starting to learn the layout.

Wow. When you draw it like that, they do look very similar.

I honestly think that the break run, transfer track and station will all be in one line (unlike Diamondback) where the bulk of the footers are being poured right now. That is the side of the the old TA spot thats closest to the bathroom and Extreme Skyflier.

Wait they did? I have not heard of this before now!

Right..because there is no grass under Vortex, Firehawk, or Adventure Express.I honestly can't think of why grass is such a telling sign of where the construction will/will not be. Did they plant grass when they built Diamondback? No. When your building a house do you put grass seed down to make it look pretty during construction, No. No moron would plant grass to just ruin it with construction equipment. And Vortex, and every other coaster, has grass under it becuase its OLD and theres no construction going on there now. Now if it was just weeds that is nothing, but if they specifically planted grass seed???

I dont like that thing about the grass seed by SoB's Rose Bowl. That was a large part of what we thought was the construction site. If they are planting grass seed that is almost a sure sign it will not be going back there. That just proves we have to wait until August to find out.

Why do people get angry at speculation? That is one thing I just don't get. You say that you don't understand why people are guessing and speculating for the new ride, but that is what your doing here. You don't know that the track is not going to Kings Island. None of us on this site, excluding Don, have any idea what this ride is. But, we try to guess and draw conclusions. That is what makes this site so enjoyable and this thread so popular.I'm not trying to pick on you. I know you are a well respected poster and do not want to make you angry. Hope it didn't come off this way.

I would be so happy if we got an Intimidator 305 type ride.

I think I will go to this. It sounds like a great time. Thanks to everyone who spent a great deal of time in planning this. We appreciate it.

I don't think schools up there are out yet, but its a weekend so it will be fairly crowded. I don't think it will be as bad as a summer weekend though. It also depends on the weather! Don't forget that! I hope you have fun!
