The only people who compare a B&M giga to a B&M hyper are the gp. Any true enthusiast would be able to tell the difference.

Entertainent Tonight 1987 Vortex Promo Video
SonofBaconator replied to McSalsa's topic in Kings Island History
This might have been posted on here on another thread but I found this masterpiece on YouTube not too long ago. That fellow with the afro looks familiar -
Accident on Alton Towers Smiler
SonofBaconator replied to Bennett's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Its been a while since these incidents have happened so I thought I'd ask the question- would you guys ride it if you had the chance? This ride has seen its fair share of issues but that always doesn't sway people's opinions. -
@rhyano I actually wouldn't mind seeing a ride like Lost Gravity come to X-Base at KI or other Cedar Fair parks IMO
-
@chugh43 I noticed that too
-
Since this is a giga thread, you should check out this awesome Fury 325 documentary from In the Loop

Kings Island Announces 2018 Changes
SonofBaconator replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I really like the concept of ordering your food on tablets like what you see at Skyline in Coney Mall. -

We already have the world's longest inverted roller coaster, the world's longest wooden coaster- so why not the world's longest coaster?

I think the park definitely needs a more diverse lineup of hotels and resorts. Great Wolf Lodge is a stellar hotel/water park but even with discounts its often too expensive for some families on a budget. Look at GWL in comparison to other hotels in the area. If Kings Island built a medium sized hotel that averages around $100 or less per night with perks like free parking and early admission, I think you'd see more people from out of town.

What's your favorite area at Kings Island and why?
SonofBaconator replied to whengodsaysgo's topic in KI Polls
I want to see more western styled buildings scattered around Rivertown, preferably in the area where the Crypt building currently sits or near Diamondback's splashdown. Kiextreme.com -
But would Cedar Fair compete with its own parks? Then again, Fury will be around 5 years old when KI would possibly get a giga.
-
No because that's been a debate that's been derailing the thread a lot, no matter what manufacturer you prefer.
-
So basically most of us would like to see Drop longer than initial height Longest giga in the US Unique color scheme In X-Base No MCBR Basically better than Fury 325 Things still up for debate Will it have any of these features listed above? Will it be taller than Fury 325? Possible name/theme Possible opening season Layout

The Ridiculous Record Thread
SonofBaconator replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Got a few more The park with the 3rd most inversions in the world Most underutilized buildings -
or blue

Having a giga at KI with the name "force" in it would seem like a rip-off of Millennium Force. If we get Giga, I want the name to be original.
-
I think the most innovation we've seen in the coaster world has come from Mack and RMC. I'd personally like to see a 4D coaster made by B&M, a RMC T-Rex retrack of a current Arrow looper, or a next-gen standup coaster.
-
Wouldn't it be cool if RMC did a T-Rex track rehab on Vortex and other Arrow loopers? I'd get behind that!
-
I think that we'll see a T-Rex coming to the Cedar Fair chain in the upcoming years. As to where, I'd say possibly WOF since they don't have a good inverting coaster in their line up aside from Patriot.
-
Those rides are still popular with the little ones though and still serve a purpose whereas the theater is just there in case the park needs it. The issue with the vacant theaters all over the park is that once they're gone, they're gone. Getting rid of Timberwolf would eliminate any possibility of any potential concerts in the future.
-
This is a crude concept for how much land would be freed up if the stage/barnyard was removed. A small kids coaster could easily fill that space and there's room left over for a small flat or two.
-
Seasonal amusement parks almost always show's up as "permanently closed" during the off season.
-
The longest giga is over 8,000ft so good luck with that
