I don't know, I just figured Kings Island would definitely not be building a standup for 2014.

Yes but Kings Island already has a flying coaster and stand-up coasters...well, are not good.

^It is if your restraint is practically a heavy metal bar with a layer of rubber on it. Don't get me wrong, airtime is great (perhaps THE best thing about roller coasters), but when you don't have comfortable restraints, it is just not good. Ever ride Tornado at Stricker's Grove in the very back?...

^It may be an icon, but its just too rough for me to enjoy. When I visited CP last Friday, I even waited for a seat in the very front and I thought: "Oh maybe this time I will actually enjoy Magnum if I'm in the front". But still it was just too rough for me and there is no element of the ride that I like. Those last bunny hops really ARE torture.

Magnum has to be the most overrated roller coaster of all time. It is greatly resting on its laurels and has absolutely no business being ranked #8 best steel coaster by AT. And that is my honest opinion.

But Son of Beast is already gone.

^But what about the jack hammering?

I am right here with you...

The only problem with B&M hypercoasters is that too many a time they literally almost TRIM all the fun out of them.

And this is a bad thing? The reason you don't see issues from Beemers that you see from Intamins is because B&M sticks with tried-and-true methods that still deliver. You don't need a 400 foot tall, 120 mph launching coaster to draw crowds. You do if your park already has a hyper and a giga...

Capitalization is your friend, as Terpy would say. (I think)

Another coaster I just can't STAND is Mantis.

B&M Giga Height: 307 ft Drop: 302 ft Speed: 91 mph Length: 5,100 ft Track color: Yellow Supports color: Black Inversions: none

Ok, I can also refer to Mitch Hawker's Steel poll and Coaster Grotto to back me up.

Here's this for decoding... I think that if Project 2014 turns out to be a giga coaster and it is built by B&M, there's a good chance it won't be nearly as good as Millenium Force or i305. Why? Because in the 2012 GTA's, Leviathan was ranked 22nd, while the Intamin gigas were ranked 1st and 12th. Even Leviathan's "little brother" was ranked higher than him.

If you wanted to get top-secret information out of me, you might as well just put me on Sidewinder at Hersheypark.

Is this the right layout Don?...

Whoa! I know what it's going to be now. There's going to be a zip line from the top of the Eiffel Tower to the station of the new coaster! No? Well, it was worth a guess. Whoa, how do you get that kind of emoticon?

What ARE you thinking?

I wish the X-base would get a Screamin' Swing.

Here are my thoughts. (Yes, I know SOB station will still be used for Haunt but it's a good starting point for my imaginary coaster!)

You say that S&S is a major player but Arrow isn't? Come on...

I sure hope!
