On heck no. That would be the last ride I'd expect the park to get. I'd rather have a Top Scan type ride like Shockwave to go there

Any of these would be great for next year, aside from the ones we already have

Cough cough cough

Two things I think are overdue- a decent sized flat ride and a family attraction. We haven't really had a huge flat ride collection and I feel like we're lacking in comparison to parks like Cedar Point and especially Canada's Wonderland.

In the recent interview, Don said that the park will make an announcement when it's right for them. Considering that today marked the end of daily operations for the park with no announcement for next year, it might be one of those minor announcements only given out over social media.

@silver2005 They have a total of 4 locomotives, 3 of which currently operate, as well as 15 passenger cars

Interesting, I heard that the cars from six flags went to BGW while the locomotive went to Tampa but you learn something new everyday

Here are some comparisons right of The Bat that I'm sure a lot of people noticed

Now that Mack has become such a game changing company with their innovative, safe rides, Intamin has become pretty obsolete.

Nope just anytime in the future

To all the people who think Cedar Fair will not allow for a KI giga because Cedar Point-look at the monster CP just unveiled to the world... I think we're go for a giga

I think they're putting up winterfest decorations so they closed off the area. There's giant candy canes up

Doesn't the truck in the pavilion of Mystic Timbers reference Virginia?

We've had sequel rides since 2000 SOB, answering questions

Mystic Timbers confirmed for Winterfest! I wonder if the shed will change it's theme

I'm not trying to be a Coaster Critic, but I thought Twisted Timbers was really weak. Don't get me wrong, I love RMC and I love Kings Dominion, but it seemed really weak as far as RMC's go. Maybe this is just because I saw a lot of povs today of all these new rides coming out and my expectations were really high. I don't want to be that guy but when I saw the pov for this ride, I couldn't stop thinking about how similar it is to Mystic Timbers in some respects. Please don't blast me too bad.

I personally thought Cedar Fair would have gone with T-Rex track instead of Raptor but it still looks amazing

This thing looks like a monster. I could easily see these types of coasters going to a lot of parks

Keep em coming Cedar Fair

They could have said "first of its kind single rail coaster" initially and they wouldn't have been wrong. Now it just makes their marketing team look like they're liers. I never understood Six Flags' marketing team

I think since it's a prototype ride, putting it on terrain might have not been what either the park or RMC wanted.

I don't want to see it replaced at all. If the ride absolutely was on its last leg, I think a B&M would be the only acceptable option for me.

I'll have to check it out! And when I say mainly for kids, it's an assumption. Whenever I was a child, I always ran to the back of the train (whether it was at KI or the Zoo) to ride in the last car. Realistically there's no need for a caboose to be a part of a passenger train since it's uses are primarily for freight.

You need to go back to St. Louis Ding Dong

I think the caboose was just an additional product that Crown sold if they were asked by the clients. To my knowledge, SFSL was the only park to have Crown cabooses made for their railroad. http://amusementpics.com/TPT/BGW/BGW052011-276.jpg Crown cabooses are basically just regular passenger cars gutted and made to look like a caboose. The main purpose they serve is for guests with wheelchairs. I have no clue how many wheelchairs a single caboose can accommodate but I'm sure it's a lot. There are seats for guests onboard but it's mainly for guests with disabilities and for children who like to ride in a caboose. It also serves as one of the posts for the conductors on board. Other than wheelchairs though, they just add some showmanship to the train. Kings Island, or any other park for that matter, could have purchased cabooses but decided not to. http://amusementpics.com/TPT/BGW/BGW052011-280.jpg I believe Disneyland and Knott's are of the only other parks that features a caboose on its railroad. On a real railroad, a caboose would be used on strictly freight trains. They would house the crew members assigned to that specific train. They had brakes, a chimney, sleeping quarters, and even a Crow's nest. http://www.mendotraintony.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/dfrr2009.jpg
