If you invested in a Intamin giga coaster would you really want to use that crappy shack for your station? It will be for Haunt until they tear it down. That crappy shack isn't that old, and the only reason it looks like crap is because of all the junk theming for the haunt attraction... all it needs is a spruce up and it will look like new again... it makes sense, save money on the station and make a better coaster with the money you save.

I figured if we started decoding for the 2019 coaster right now, we would know every detail of the coaster before actual construction starts, my guess is that it will be a intanim giga coaster and will re-use the old Son of Beast station, and use the leftover space behind the 2014 coaster.

Uh oh, we better start the thread now! i can very well see the possibility there is alot of room to be left for waste behind the 2014 coaster... Jut picture a terrain hugging giga coaster will alot of speed whipping thru those hills... I don't see Kings Island doing back to back to back b&m coasters, this park does not have an intanim which is another hole the park can fill, after filling the full circuit invert coaster hole.

Kings Island's 2019 coaster will be a intanim giga coaster using the old Son of Beast station it will have a steep incline with a cable lift that will go over a part of Banshee and use the remainder of the space behind the Banshee. It will be called son of youngstud.. ( just kidding on the name part.)

i hope we can all live that dream when Kings Island builds its first giga coaster.

Do you mean in general, or right now? Designers build what the parks want. If a park calls B&M up and says, "We want this, this, and this, in an inverted coaster and only have X amount of room, can you do it?" B&M's response would likely be, "Our Batman model fits that description." If a park calls B&M and asks for a stand up, they will build it. Inverts are terrible..they are a 90's ride...only a moron in charge would spend $30 mil on one...if the lift hill goes through the loop, that is the definition of a gimmick... every Intamin is better than this ride they are building and it is not even debatable for a park that doesn't have a full circuit invert, and is looking to replace a record breaking coaster, with another record breaking coaster, its a no brainer... And your right there are plenty of intanims that will probably give a better thrill than this coaster, but that's only when Those intanim coasters are operating.

millennium force will always be till this day the greatest intanim coaster of all time. It's forcefull, reliable, with great ride capacity, what more can be asked for in a rollercoaster?

millennium force has the same capacity as Diamondback yet has no Mcbr but it does have an unloading station just like Flight of Fear.... Flight of Fear and millennium force have the same ride duration clocked in at 2mins20seconds. Im starting to think Flight of Fear only operates 2 trains. Flight of Fear started with 3 trains and a mid course break run. It loaded faster with the terribly painful over the head restraints....but was always slowed to a crawl in the breakrun in the middle of the ride. Since you exit opposite from where you board (which wasn't the original designers intention), one car would wait outside of the exit for a Loooong time before people could disembark. When they switched to lapbar and lock, it took longer to board and disembark, and they eliminated one train.... and to this day they only operate 2 trains. the way i see it is one train is loading one train is running the track, and one train is unloading, when the train returns from running the track the loading train then takes off and the unloading train starts loading... It seems like it would be a very fast smooth operation regardless of lap bars

millennium force has the same capacity as Diamondback yet has no Mcbr but it does have an unloading station just like Flight of Fear.... Flight of Fear and millennium force have the same ride duration clocked in at 2mins20seconds. Im starting to think Flight of Fear only operates 2 trains.

that isn't a bad idea, but capacity would suffer, regardless Firehawk line being as long as Flight of Fear and the sad thing is, is that Flight of Fear has a 2 stations and a mid course break run

The train shead looks like a three train shead to me.. dual station.... with the layout they are using there is no room for a second station b&m typically go into brake run ( beside storage shed) into transfer track then to station.

4 inversions and they claim the seats will be ridding alongside the track.... The news is working in Kings Islands favor..

i was standing in line for Diamondback on Sunday and it still stated as the fastest tallest and meanest coaster to strike Kings Island.

Any intanim fan should be pleased they didn't add a giga coaster, it was clear Kings Island was going to choose b&m for their next coaster (they were looking for reliability) did you really want a copycat leviathain called millenium forceless??? Now that Kings Island has gone b&m back to back its only a matter of time before the park adds its first intanim coaster. Hopefully by then intanim can get their reliability issues behind them.

That is literally like the biggest red flag as to why this is fake...sorry but I think a major amuesment park can afford spell check. im unsure if that's the case they did have a misspelling on the teaser signs against the fence

intanim used to contract Giovanola to supply rollercoasters and rides.. Giovanola was known for its box style rollercoaster track, Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabillard worked for giovanola before splitting off making their own company that is known today as B&M, they carried over the box track as well... Giovanola went bankrupt in 2004... You can find intanim coasters that use box style track that was not originally built by intanim but subcontracted to giovanola whose legacy lives on with B&M... Examples cobra, shockwave, and flashback... B&M has made trains for D. H. Morgan Manufacturing steel Dragoon 2000 and pysclone ( now demolished ) for the dinn corporation ( defunct in 1992 )

I thought a new thread was started with b&m vs intanim, last time i was on the thread b&m was winning by a landslide

15 intanims scored in the top 50 steel coasters for the golden ticket awards 23 b&m's scored in the top 50 as well in the top 5 steel coasters for the golden ticket awards intanim scored first and second while b&m scored third and fourth.

Im surprised how b&m is winning the votes, i thought alot of people prefered intanim, times have changed...

i hope youngstud doesnt see this as much as i love intanim coasters, Diamondback is my second favorite steel rollercoaster.

I voted intanim because they manufactured the best steel coaster in the world, millennium force.

Are you kidding? B&M coasters are 10x more sexier than Intamin. I don't know what your talking about futuristic, I just see stupid crossbars and a box or triangle... Haha Sleek..thin..not wide and fat I only like b&m when I am drunk and there is no intamins around i only like intanims when there operating

Since the 2013 till now 9 intamins has opened or under construction.Compared to 4 with b&m. ya b&m took massive gains in 2011 and 2012 and according to Wikipedia it claims there is only 3 intanims in 2013 compared to B&M's 4.

As much as i love intanim coasters, B&M is dominating in terms of rollercoasters being recently built

i don't think intanims reliability issues are overblown last time i was at Cedar Point maverick and top thrill were having issues. Good thing millenium was open as always best coaster in the park and world in my opinion.
