I'm 6 foot and that doesn't happen to me

Welcome to KIC and apparently the coaster community! Like what Kenban said a giga is the name given to a roller coaster that exceeds 300ft, similar to how a hyper coaster is a coaster that exceeds 200ft. Gigas are known for their height and speed. Most gigas are low to the ground after the first initial drop, though Steel Dragon 2000 has plenty of tall airtime hills. Examples of gigas would be Millenium Force, Intimidator 305, Leviathan, and Fury 325 to name a few. Gigas are quite rare in the coaster world compared to hyper coasters or even inverts though Cedar Fair has cranked out 3 in the past 7 years. Kings Island is the last main Cedar Fair park that hasn't gotten a giga coaster yet. Here's two examples of giga coasters made by two completely different companies Fury 325 made by Bolliger & Mabillard Millennium Force made by Intamin

I honestly thought the same thing before we got Mystic Timbers

I've said this on another thread but I'd love to see a Pony Express type ride added to the park somewhere in Rivertown. The actual Pony Express ride itself doesn't take up that much space at Knott's and it would give people the sensation of riding a horse. Though this isn't likely, if they could install a coaster like Mystic Timbers in such a tight space I'd like to think they could do anything if done well.

I wish we got some string lights overhead on the midway to give it a more fair feel.

The only area that could use some expansion is X-Base. It's not the worst area in the park but it could be so much better

With the more recent changes to Candy Apple Grove at Kings Dominion as well as the changes made to the County Fair section of Carowinds it would only be fair to speculate the same for Coney Mall. Though a popular section of the park that holds a good chunk of the park's flat rides as well as some great coasters, the charm that initially filled this area has dwindled over the years. What do you think? Do you think Coney Mall will get some type of overhaul in the coming years?

I wonder when the midcourse tunnel will be constructed

The only expansion that land is suitable for is for a coaster

I'm just going to leave this here https://enchantedamerica.wordpress.com/2014/09/27/smurfs-enchanted-voyage-kings-island-oh/

Along the lines of night experiences, I'm wondering if the train hours will stay at 9 or be extended till 10 like it used to be.

Your avatar is making me think of Gargamel riding Vortex

Leviathan cost $28,000,000 Fury 325 cost $30,000,000 Just leaving this here

Don't go full Carowinds, we like our racing coaster! RIP Thunder Road

Would restraints like these work on a coaster like Vortex? https://mack-rides.com/products/rollercoaster/launch-coaster/

As a Communication/ business major who has taken a handful of marketing classes I'd say Cedar Fair appeals to the current market very well. If you have any questions DM me and I'll be happy to help you!

I'd prefer a Sierra Sidewinder type ride over the traditional Wild Mouse

Gigas are harder to come by than wild mouses though...

Holy thread bump Batman! Quick, to the bumpmobile! @Shawn Meyer The smurf ride was a redo of the enchanted voyage dedicated just to the smurfs. I'm sure @LongLiveTheSmurfRide could write a book on it

I'm still confused on the whole story thing. All we know is: The Miami River Lumber Co bought a ton of land for the trees with plans to use the railroad as a means of transporting the lumber. A strange grown of vines and foliage started taking over the area by a medusa looking creature. There were hints that the train was a "major key" when teasing the ride in the summer before the pr release so maybe that could mean a little more than just a teaser. Whatever's in the shed has to be pretty epic to require riders to ride 3 times to truly know.

I wonder if it will be the same effects during the day and night. For example if I ride MT during the day and see what's in the shed, will the train behind me see the same thing? Same goes for the night ride. Will every ride see the same thing? I always thought the affects would alternate like per cycle like on Verbolten.

I really want a dive machine but I know we won't get one in the near or even distant future with the addition of Valravn at CP.

Rivertown was never initially themed to a river. It was originally supposed to be called Frontierland but that would bare too much relation to Disney. They decided to name it Rivertown because it was more unique and reflected on the placement near the Little Miami River as well as the Ohio river playing such a big part in the Cincinnati history and economy. Rivertown was always more of a lumber/mining company with the early log flume, "Beast Canyon," Rivertown Mining Company, and more recently the Miami River Lumber Company.

Mack is up there with the likes of B&M and RMC when it comes to innovation. Once more Mack rides start hitting the US, Intamin will be pretty much obsolete.

I'm wondering if there's enough in the budget to theme parts of wwc and the train to MT
