Ill take a multi record wood coaster, over a single record invert coaster any day... This was a failure to replace Son of Beast, but is a success for b&m, no mcbr..

obviously needs a few more..... bulldozed works for me... But I know quite a few people on here....rank it quite high on the KI coasters list... it would not make sense to bulldoze flight deck, it operates with very little downtime, and is not in the way of future expansion, and adds on to the coaster count... In my opinion

I hope that this ride is not trimmed I would hope it is trimmed, so they can run 3 trains and not 2. i didnt mean no mid course brake run which is what you may be thinking so it can operate 3 trains, im talking about all the brakes that slow down the ride and have no other purpose than that.

I have a bad feeling im going to be very unhappy tomorrow at the park, me and youngstud will be carried out in cuffs. I can picture it now... this rollercoaster will be the fastest b&m invert, it also has the most trim brakes on any b&m invert to date with 7 which is a world record ya! ( editing to emphasize " will be carried out in cuffs " was metaphorically speaking, just shows how severely disappointment i will be. )

Man, do i hope Kings Island doesn't botch this rollercoaster, if they plan on it being a world record attraction it better take all the invert records with it... Otherwise it would be a massive failure at replacing Son of Beast which took all the wooden coaster records when it was around....

Someone should swing by the b&m plant, and see if the flatbed with supports have been hauled out, i think the reason they had The Racer cam go black and white is because trucks are hauling in parts of the ride... He to edit because ipad decided white was weight.

When I think of sob i think of multiple world records being made, this coaster being sob replacement will do the same, 217 ft tall, 207ft drop, 78mph, 8 inversions, 4109ft long... Claiming all the world records for a inverted coaster.. If this coaster is going to be sob's replacement it better be the king of inverts like sob was the king of wooden coasters.

There was the rumor that this was part of a 3 year plan.....I know you are in love with a giga, but If you had to pick between a giga, a strata, and an El Toro type woodie, what would you take? i would want a giga coaster, strata coasters are broken down quite often, and if i want to ride a good wooden coaster i would ride The Beast!

tears of joy because that leaves more room for the giga coaster, come on 2019!

. I don't think Kings Island will add a new section of park but instead expand the ones they currently have... And by the looks of it Soak City and x base make sense, lets say there big coasters/expansions projects are in 7 year intervals.. Kings Island could easily add another coaster in the Action Zone using the old Son of Beast station and the rest of the remaining space behind the 2014 coaster.. Then between the 7 year intervals add new flat rides and, new slides and possibly a water coaster in Soak City... After that the dinos would have been around for over a decade, those animatronics would need replacing by then, remove the Dino's and expand x base, maybe get a new prototype coaster that fits the theme of that section of the park. This is could all happen unless current rollercoasters/attractions need replacing.

they won't need to create any room there is already plenty of space left behind the 2014 coaster... They will reuse the old sob station and the cable lift will start from the station.

that would be a very tight squeeze to fit a giga there, i don't think there would be enough room for elements other than airtime hills, and a turnaround.

i don't know but hopefully he saw my drawling and will take it into consideration, no coaster having to be dismantled and little to no clearing needed, makes perfect sense.

I think we posted before that its to early to be calling the 2014 coaster the Banshee, there are clues that suggest the name would be something else... One of the gravestones translated says "its not all that it seems".. And if you would look up what a Banshee is you would know that a Banshee appears when death is imminent... Why would the Banshee appear after the fact Son of Beast was dismantled.. Now you got all these people shocked that they flirted with The Bat as being the name, you know why? Because they have till August 8 to name the coaster anything they want. This forum keeps spinning in circles and don is loving it.

2019 will host a intanim giga coaster using the Sob station called Youngstud: escape from B&M.

true that brotha, at this point there is not point or fun on trying to decode anymore, the truth will be revealed in less than a week... It's time we starting thinking beyond 2014, maybe youngstuds 2019 giga coaster?

I wonder if the name of this coaster will be trademarked the day of the announcement, not saying Banshee isn't the name but not saying it is the name either,

I thought the whole point for giving the ride the name Banshee is because SOB was torn down, or so called killed as you would have it. so now the Banshee appears and begins wailing over the SOB's death. That explains the Gaelic writing on the gravestones a Banshee is referred from Irish mythology, she appears This coaster is almost like the continuance of The Beast story. But I also believe the Banshee name could be a diversion, one of the gravestones written in Gaelic translation says "its not all that it seems".. .remember a Banshee appears before death not after. A lot of people thougnt Diamondback was going to be called Mustang. And there was many clues that would support that name.

Yes! you know when don is lurking over the threads he has another trick up his sleeve.

Tallest, fastest, longest, and most inversions for a invert in the world. 4 world records all of them for inverted rollercoasters.

they will reuse the old Son of Beast station and build a giga coaster.

Gatekeeper was built this year, and they remodeled the front gate.

i don't see Kings Island doing back to back to back b&m coasters. The next coaster will probably end up being a inatnim giga be very happy we didn't get screwed with b&m giga called millennium forceless.

its millennium forceless track
