WHODEY2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 That would be so sweet if they put a coaster out in the woods by The Beast keeping most of the trees. Where did this rumor originate from? Also what is a gigacoaster? A giga coaster has a drop of 300ft. Although I would love to see one at KI, I am doubting this rumor. From what I have read and know, Millennium Force was 25 million to build and steel has gone up in price since then. Not to mention CF doesn't exactly have a lot of money to throw around. There is an article in one of these posts thatt have Cedar Fair stating that they will be spending somewhere between 80-90 million between 2008-2009. Quote
Tuskin Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Again not this year next year 2009, or 2010 Quote
KIBeast Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I definitely can guarantee, unless B&M have changed their policies, that they will not be building a gigacoaster at KI. Intamin on the other hand... Whodey, that's 40 mill per year split between many parks. Between 13 parks, not including waterparks, that's only about 3 mill. Not enough to buy a 25 mill gigacoaster.

WHODEY2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I wonder what the name of the new coaster will be? Chances are it will have something with "Hawk" on the end of it! LOL! Quote
Vortex Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Canada's Wonderland is not getting a GL transport. A brand spankin new B&M. I wonder if Kings Island will get a clone of this coaster in 2009 or 2010? Quote
Dvo Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I hope not... cloning is a dumb idea if you ask me. Sure, it's easy and cost-effective to use an already-existing design and re-use it. But shouldn't every park have unique rides to draw visitors from all over the country, rather than having the same rides in a different place? Quote
KIBeast Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I don't think cloning is that bad of an idea. Most of the GP aren't even aware of that fact. Quote
Dvo Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 That's true, but that would only add to the disappointment, in my mind. Say a person goes to a Six Flags park routinely and rides Batman The Ride. Then after several years, they decide to go on vacation and hit another Six Flags park, expecting all new rides. Then they find the same Batman The Ride there. It seems like they'd be upset because they paid all that money to go see something new, and could almost just go to the park near their home and get the same thing. On another note: I just got a call from my friend who works at KI, and he said that he saw some inverted coaster track going north on 275, probably from the B&M place in Batavia. Could KI possibly be getting a new inverted coaster? I don't think it would be for Thunderhawk at Michigan's Adventure, unless they had to refabricate some of the pieces. Interesting...... Quote
Aves Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 It's not that it's bad. If it's a good design, sure go ahead. But having 47 clones of the same coaster (vekoma boomerang) is taking it a bit far. As DVO said, you should have unique desings to draw people. And here's a thought: Can you imagine 47 Son of Beasts across the country? Quote
Tuskin Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Can you imagine all the times that would could go around the entire earth and make a covering lol Quote
teenageninja Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I have heard this same rumor and I am leaning more towards it. I don't care if it goes near Beast, over Beast, or under Beast, we need a big name steel coaster, besides the love of my life Vortex . Quote
Aves Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Everone should have a love life with The Vortex! Quote
Vortex Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Does anyone know when Kings Island will say anything about next year. When I got my season pass they did not know anything. You think if they where tring to sell a pass they would say hey we are getting a new ride. Quote
Tuskin Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Actually my love life is with the canadian geese .. err i mean uhh the uh yeah the railroad lol =^) Quote

How could he tell that it was inverted coaster track. How can anyone tell until its built. As far as I know, hyper coaster track and inverted track looks the same until its erected. Quote
Aves Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 ^ Yep. I couldn't tell any of the X-Flight pieces wether they were inverted or just flipped! Quote
KIBeast Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 ^Not only that. CF would not be calling B&M for additional Vekoma track pieces. Quote
coasterfanatic Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 My Crystal Ball says for 2008 New Water Attraction for Boomerang Bay 40 Acre Campground New G trains on Beast That is all. Chuck Quote
Aves Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 ^ My crystel ball says your crystel ball has a screw loose. SOB is getting new trains, not Beast! Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Son of Beast just got new 'to it' trains....which had to be modified especially for it. Quote

The Interpreter Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Sometimes the hardest thing to do is not to comment when someone leaves you a line just begging for a response, but on this board, there ARE limits! Quote

Thunderhawk from GL is a vekoma SLC remember? Clermont steel only fabricates track for B&M designs. Quote
Aves Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Son of Beast just got new 'to it' trains....which had to be modified especially for it. I ment that it's getting a RWB train. 3 trains = awesome hourly capacity = more SOB rides! Quote
Tuskin Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 My crystal ball says were getting a dune buggy track Quote
