If it's a treehouse, then Cedar Fair needs to get in touch with FOX and make a TreeHouse of Horror in the shed for Halloween! In all seriousness though the shed looks as if it could be an innovative touch on the coaster, making it truly "Mystic" in some FX.

Blanche: white in french, utilized in english as a synnonym of clarity or simplicity. Also used as a nommitive in various western cultures for women. I sadly do not have a magic 8 ball to say if you know someone named Blanche but i would guess maybe. It will be interesting to see the future of the Mean Streak area, following its demise it will lead to some interesting decoding.

Mean Streak has been the black "streak" on the block for awhile. Even still today, people grumble about the "unpleasant" ride experience. So of course, as Cedar Fair did with SOB, they will do again with a coaster that they have more promise without than with. I don't see any of our coasters going just due to the fact that we just got an huge record with our wooden coaster track. So, to put it blanchly, Mean Streak means various things to various individuals, however Cedar Fair sees it as an attraction to take out and or modify.

Top Gun, simply due to the fact that it had some pretty cool aeronautical props strewn about the queue and the classic under-queue line. It was just a cool attraction with an amazing theme added to it.

Interesting analysis on the whole Mystic Timbers announcement and some discussion on the next announcement. Interestingly enough, WinterFest would not be that bad to have this year.

I don't know about you, but there's always something magical about going to the park and relaxing. No, it doesn't take away anthing to live close, if anything it only makes it better. I mean come on, how could you not get giddy when you walk down the walkway with the old BB artwork (escpecially the kangaroos, the koalas, and the sharks!), or riding The Beast over and over again until you are frozen from the fall night air. Kings Island doesn't loose that touch for me, even when I worked there, it never did.

Manufacturer: GCI or GG. GCI has worked with Cedar Fair before and has the rapport similar to what B&M has with Cedar Fair with their attractions. GG however could provide a better ride experience with a barrel roll, which would provide a thrilling experience. Layout: I could definitely see this coaster being more of an out and back with slight traces of a twister element laced in between. The length would probably be somewhere between 2,000 and 3,500 and some as I don't see this as being a "huge" coaster like other compatriots. Height: I'm basing it at a min of 85 and a max of 140 due to the height and the layout itself, I just cannot see it being much higher than 140. Specials: If GG is the manufacturer, a barrel roll would be admired. However, with the ever impending GCI announcement, it will probably be a hybrid, wood on steel, with a few water interactions and some great head choppers laced throughout. Records: Eh, I could see Kings Island getting a record holder coaster, but not this one. Kings Island has two historic coasters already, yes the addition of the best GCI or whatever coaster would be admirable, I just don't see it being a big record holder. However, like stated, Kings Island could take the longest wooden coaster mileage of any and all parks due to the amount of wooden coasters. So really this coaster isn't a record, but would help produce a record for the park. Theme/Name: I could see this going in a few directions. Lumberjack or something close to logging would be a great name for the coaster from the hints and rumours coming up into now. However, a tree name like Timber_____ would also fit in this coaster. Then of course the animal name would also be fitting, bobcat, wildcat, even sasquatch or big foot would be a great name for this coaster. Note that I have read only small snip its of the decoding, and have virtually been away from the whole ordeal of the internet speculation. These premises are virtually just from the documentation from Mason, the layout seen already, and a small understanding of the PR campaign that has been stirred over the past months.

Something's lurking........in the woods....Maybe it's the 300' Intamin........Maybe it's a wild Sasquatch.......Better grab a Snicker's while you can......It's going to be interesting!

Over the river and through the woods.... Why do people go to grandma's house, or in this case, the train house? Holidays, and what holiday event is rumoured to come back this year? Winterfest, so it could be a hint for Winterfest and not the said coaster. Logically, a lot of Christmas trees are felled for the holiday season, people travel over rivers and woods to get to relatives, Christmas tree farms have signs that say watch for falling trees, so it could all just be.....a diversion....or maybe this is a diversion, who knows.

If I remember correctly there is Tin Man and Tropical Depression as two different and separate boats.

*sigh* A good spiel should be enlightening about ride operations and procedures. While in doing so, the spiel should also maintain professionalism while not breaking the fun environment on any attraction. Some people take it too far, others perfect it to an art form, however it is essential to build a safe and fun environment for the riders so that they could have the best, safe, ride experience. Not to mention that the best spielers, are those who don't get to use a microphone, but have to talk over raging water.

That was once a boat for some of our late Boomerang Bay enthusiasts. Above the Outback Shack there was a boat with the label of Tropical Depression, after the Soak City renovation you could find this boat during Haunt in Backwoods Bayou.

Der Spinning Keggers anyone? Just remember a few pickers went across the pond to find a horde of loot for certain Cedar Fair parks....... (If anyone wants an Illuminati style decoding on the barrel tweet, simply ask and thou shalt receive.)

Hey $15 for the plans and then a few more for a frame, and you have a fine piece of art to hang in your living room!

Plants in Planet Snoopy, p is the first letter of project 2017. Project 2017, happening in River Town, what else is in River Town? The Beast! What is The Beast? A wooden coaster, wooden coasters. What other wooden coasters have been at Kings Island? Son of Beast! Son of Beast, what would be the next in line for a coaster that may or may not be of lineage to The Beast? GrandSon of Beast! Grand Son of Beast starts with the letter G. G, what coaster company starts with the letter G? Great Coasters International! Therefore the Project 2017 must be a wooden GCI that is Grand Son of Beast! All jokes aside, I'm really curious about what Kings Island will pull in the upcoming weeks as enthusiasts will now be almost certain to comb over the whole area in question. Watch little kitten cut outs and litter boxes be spread out over the area, along with a speaker playing kitten meows. ​

Plot twist: what if an antique car attraction comes in with a covered bridge? It would make sense with the area and land distribution.

This is the best post in this whole thread.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk Might even be the best post ever on the forum. I legitimately laughed out loud [emoji1]Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk I bet its designed by Alan Schilke and built by RMC. Because that statue is intense.Vortex Lover, trying to be funny. But failing BAD [emoji23] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk Someone needs a Centurion for that statue, a blue Centurion. I have strong inclinations to various theories, RMC, B&M, a flat ride, or possibly a GCI. All of which could fit in this area, and or other areas. A RMC, GCI, or a flat would fit in the small footprint that the area encompasses permitting a small plaza and thus a new coaster area in RiverTown. A B&M however could stretch in RiverTown being a Wing coaster, however a Giga would fit more back near Action Zone/Coney Mall as it could stretch the backside of Kings Island opening up a new area. However, I could only see a Giga later on, maybe in 2018-2020 time frame so that Kings Island could continue to grow. A compact Wing Coaster that stretches like ThunderBird would also be a great addition due to the flying aspect and the continuation of the B&M use.

This statement still stands. (Maybe this year?)

I was bribed by burritos, and i won. Yellow is the fastest slide of the three drop boxes and yet has the smallest drop.. Blue has the most g forces 2nd longest drop (don't ask why about the g's i cannot explain.) Green is the longest drop. At first it might scare you, which is natural, but take a few deep breaths and you will be fine.

In reference to The Beast: "This coaster is made out of real wood, not that durex stuff!" "This was the first wooden roller coaster." "This is the tallest wooden roller coaster, wasn't this originally called Son of Beast?"

Thank goodness, no ribs. The keyword folks is pulled pork, with barbeque sauce hopefully. If enough people complain, and it becomes the laughing stock (or rack) of KIC, you know something might need to change at your event in terms of food offering.

Hey usually when I am at FoF, it has a line. In fact, every day that I have been at Kings Island this year it had a long line. I can see Premier doing some touch ups, but I think that this is just another ruse. Just remember this simple term "Diversion".

Speaking of that, one of my biggest hopes for next year is a 45th anniversary restoration of Racer. New track work, new LED chaser lights running the whole course, and most importantly, restoring the original red white and blue paint job. Perhaps even new trains if the park is willing.Again, wishful thinking. Been wanting it to happen for years. I would honestly love to see that happen more than getting a giga. I agree with everything you were talking about until the LED Lights. Racer definitely could use a bit of an upgrade in the nostalgia department. The paint job would be a great idea, and would set The Racer apart from the Midway as it has more color than just white. Keep that nostalgia with classic chasers, if it works, it works, don't make me loose the classic warm glow of chaser lights. To add on top of that, maybe a train upgrade to make it actually worth my time, and possibly the unleashing of The Beast with less trims! Also in light of the 45th anniversary, maybe, just maybe, the classic Log Flume will become classic yet again with a retheme?

1. A phone is a phone, you survived how long without it? You can survive a few hours without it. Better yet, have it safely secured on your person and or in some sort of carry on luggage like a backpack. 2. Why would you even think about risking your life for a product that can be replaced? I don't know about you guys, but I am thankful to have my appendages and I want to keep them! Thankfully the guest was apprehended and taken care of as needed. My pet peeve is to follow the rules when you go to an amusement park, there are reasons why and yet people still pull off stunts like this.

If you're disappointed now, just wait. No one is saying that KI will never get a Giga, I believe it will come, just not yet. We all want what we want, but have no fear as any attraction will be a great attraction at KI in 2017 (except for what was Son of Beast).
