I could see Congo Falls being relocated in the park closer to the other two water rides If that's the case. I think you're onto something there as far as having a Floorless roller coaster in the future. I would welcome that because I love Rougarou at Cedar Point and could see Kings Island getting a floorless someday because of guest popularity.

I like you're way of thinking. I wouldn't be able to think it up like you just did because of my A.D.D, but I like that way of thinking. Plus I think the Polaris name is a cooler name than Orion. I'm sure they'll be a story line to this ride just like there was for Mystic Timbers two years ago.

I always assumed The Beast was a dude here. Just because of how tough and mean it is of a ride.

The second one looks like the Jordan logo on shoes back in the early 2000s.

That video gives me chills even almost 20 years after it debuted. Although it's not the new millennium anymore so they should consider renaming it to something more catchy. So maybe whatever ride name Kings Island goes with, maybe they could rename Millennium Force with the other name. I know that sounds un-realistic but hey it's a nice fantasy right?

Question: When is KI central going to post another facebook update from the KI central page? I'm a dork and like to share that stuff on my wall on my page.

Has anyone discussed what the angle of the drop will be? The drop in the video looks like it could be an 85 degree drop.

I would love Kings Island to be the first park to get a Floorless roller coaster with the new vest restraints on it. Also give it a fun exciting layout like Dominator at Kings Dominion. I would be up for that!

Question for everyone. Now that we're in the month of June, are people liking the new fountains more or is it still mixed feelings? I was thinking once they started getting all the sprinklers running correctly that maybe people would like them more. I hear it's a big success with the new night time show though.

^ There needs to be a wow emoji here because this is the time where I feel like saying wow!

I wonder if they'll keep the old sign from Firehawk along with the old photo booth. Still both in great condition!

^ They re-used the old queue that was white water landing for Maverick when it opened. Do you think the general public would notice that much? Not trying to prove you wrong, but just saying here.

I know people are saying that they'll re-use that queue from Firehawk for Flight of Fear, but hear me out here. In my opinion, why don't they use that old queue for the new ride? I mean I know the blueprints show it being used for Flight of Fear, but even on a busy day with a full queue, you're looking at a two hour wait. If I'm a guest on a busy day like I'm referring to, I would just go to a different ride. Lastly, you have that old queue to save you money on pouring more concrete for the new ride so why not utilize it? I'm done with my point now so I'll go away.

Just curious everyone, but what is this area?

Just curious did they just rip up the old Dinosaurs Alive paths? It kind of looks that way from the recent pictures posted on this page.

I don't understand why they have left the Firehawk trains near the construction site? I figured they would have been shipped off by now.

Anybody know If they're planning another Peanuts celebration week like they did last year?

Plus the footers would have to be spread out more to accommodate the layout of Vortex.

I would love love to see a floorless come to Kings Island. In my opinion, that's one coaster that's missing from the park. I feel like Cedar Point is more complete now with Rougarou since 2015. I know some people will argue that coaster sucks, but to me I love it! Maybe when Kings Island does decide to build one, they could build the first one with the vest restraints. Heck I think it would be awesome to have the first Floorless Giga, but the likelyhood of that happening is slim. There would be a lot of butterflies going down the first drop though.

That looks like Mystic Timbers station? Can you confirm this thatguyfromohio? Also I wanted to ask If there's been any new digging in the land clearing photo?

I had a dream last night that the three of us friends; myself included were supposed to go to Kings Island tomorrow and Tuesday. However, I didn't make it because I didn't make it to church beforehand and swore to my friends I would come down later once I went to confession. I know I shouldn't bring faith up on these forums, but confession ended up being like 3 hours long because there was a huge crowd for it. Then later, I had to figure out who would watch my late cat Tony while I went down there. I never figured that out either. After that sequence I woke up so who knows If I made it down to Kings Island like I had planned.

^ Did you happen to take a photo? Not on the ride obviously, but maybe from Eiffel Tower?

^^Alright guys. My bad. I just thought with those numbers from the blueprints, they might try to tweak it in the actual announcement.

Even though you guys are guessing 296' now, I think Kings Island will surprise us and this will actually be 305' feet with a 310 foot drop. I think that Polaris model is very much the real thing.

Yeah I wanted to ask last week where Gary Walks was and why he didn't speak a little? He was the founder and still is the founder of Kings Island. I would have stayed for that.
