How about something that is new and different? Kings Island is know for getting new coasters that are a first. I know of three coasters, but only one is still running today.

Well i narrowed it down to...

1. A B&M dive machine in Rivertown.

2. A wooden coaster that has a steeper drop than El Toro.

3. An Intamin coaster, a mixture between Maverick and Millenium Force.

4. A B&M invert, something unique... not like most inverts!

Well thats it...

I think KI has enough wood coasters already.

The coaster firsts for KI are:

The Bat - first suspended coaster

The Vortex - first multi-looper to do six inversions

Runaway Reptar - first junior inverted coaster

Don't know if there are more firsts.

Wasn't the King Cobra the first stand up coaster in the US also, and don't forget The Racer was what started the entire explosion of mega coasters. I would love to see something with high speed, lots of drops and smoothness come to the park, I would love to have a combination of the Griffon and Apollo's Chariot come to the park.

KI had more firsts then that.

Flight of Fear was the first LIM Launched coaster, King Cobra was the first looping stand up coaster in North America. Racer was the first coaster to be turned around to go backwards. Son of Beast, the worlds tallest, fastest, and only looping wooden coaster. The Beast is the first of it's kind as well as still being the longest wooden coaster in the world. Scooby's'Ghosterer Coaster was the first suspended coaster for kids.
