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

Is the track that appeared and rusting invert track i couldn't tell you i seen it from the road

Track is already appearing outside the b&m plant and its currently going threw the rusting period. None of it was painted, on the other hand there is more support track painted dark blue appearing.

we could see lights installed on the ride, like gatesleeper

haha i know my post was a little far fetched but I'm curious why the 2014 coaster didn't go beyond the valley.. Any coaster that would have the lift start at the SOB station would easily clear the 2014 coaster...

if anything intanim can pull it off, they reused viper's old station which looked like a rundown tacobell into what is now the current station for the el toro rollercoaster...

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. Dude a station costs less than 750,000 dollars. 750,000 dollars might not seem like much to add to the coaster, but that money they save could be used for theming, or for a unloading station to increase ride capacity and remove the need for a MCBR which is a speed killer.

they can always bring back the original Son of Beast line, that started from Action Zone midway. haha you could even place the ride logo wear the old SOB logo stood. it would all work out

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
