I was just browsing the trademark site and came upon this- https://www.trademarkia.com/the-ledge-87431876.html I wouldn't over speculate too much since Centurion still hasn't been used yet but its still interesting.

True, but the GP doesn't really know to strictly ride the red side as an enthusiast would. Maybe it varies from person to person

If you look closely at Kings Island, they tend to be behind on the times. When Ouimet came along, and maybe even before that, I started to see a trend in coasters. The invert craze was in the late 90s/early 2000s and there wasn't a ton of huge installations of B&M invert until 2014 with Banshee. Three years later we get a GCI woodie in the form of Mystic Timbers, again a little behind the trend of GCI installs where it was in the mid to late 2000s with Prowler, Thunderhead, Renegade, etc. And look more recently as Cedar Fair has pumped out 3 gigas in the early 2010s and we haven't seen even plans for one since 2015. Maybe I'm just being a conspiracy theorist but I like to believe that KI goes behind the curve and makes world class rides that dominate the others. I believe Banshee and Mystic Timbers are arguably the superior rides of their classes currently and you can argue with me if you want. What am I saying? I feel like Kings Island chose to wait on a giga for when the craze dies down to set itself apart, so if and when it does get a giga, it'll be one of a kind and incomparable from other rides similar to what Banshee and Mystic Timbers have done.

Gravity Group did some track work for Rebel Yell in the past. Since GG is right down the road, it would seem like a no brainier to bring them in- especially now that we have a smooth GCI, Racer is going to appear more rough

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
