No, it's obvious the movie they are referencing is SNAKES ON A PLANE!!!

The scene where the snakes burst out of the crates? COME ON!

Please let Samuel L. Jackson be there to give the official announcement.

I think it'll be named Komodo

I like the name Leviathan. It's not easy to say really quickly like Behemoth.

Just saw on the other site that if you google komodo movie and look at the images and there is a big hint there

I like the name Leviathan. It's not easy to say really quickly like Behemoth.

I'm not sure how to pronounce it.

la-v eye-uh-thin

say that quickly and thats how you pronounce it

I like the name Leviathan. It's not easy to say really quickly like Behemoth.

Only if your name is Gabe.

This website also shows that komodo dragons live mostly on islands that can only be accessed by boat, what a better to put a ride like komodo at Kings Island. also there is a sign that says komodo crossing BE SILENT!!!! kinda like the sign at Kings Island... check out the link above and see if it dont change your mind!!!

I think the ride could be KOMODO!!!

Snakes, why did it have to be snakes...

(This line used with expressed permission from Paramount Studios unlike those Jungle skippers who use the line illegally in the cambodian temple ruins. Everyone knows that the Great Movie Ride has to pay to use the line while traveling through the indiana Jones section. Humming the theme song while placing a hat on your head at that point during the Jungle Cruise in order to give passengers a photo opportunity is however permitted.)

...as opposed to the non-existent Indiana Jones permission used at Adventure Express...or the remarkable resemblance between Phantom Theater and both Phantom of the Opera AND a certain haunted mansion. But then, all that was before the being owned by a company with the same name as a movie studio days...and this is now after...

Don't think of me as trying to ruin your fun or anything, but is it really all that important to try and guess the new coaster's name?

Personally I don't care what they name it as long as it goes fast and/or turns me upside down quite a few times

Well, it's not taking you upside down at all! But it'll be fast! -Hauntguy

Speaking of the name Komodo... I googled the movie and found this:

Something about it just... similar? -Hauntguy

^Yeah, I just Googled it too. That's awful close to the email eye.

I never got the email, could you print screen it for me?

Given all the current clues, my guess is a snake. My bets are on Water Moccasin, Copperhead, or Diamondback.

Too many threads to post this subject, btw: LOL.

I am thinking the Gieco Gecko with their new Corporate Partnership Program. The Gecko isn't that big though and it's biggest announcement in the 36-year history of Kings Island!

Definitely looks similar to the Komodo movie artwork, however, what of the "Ride Sally Ride" clue? Definitely pointing in the direction of "Mustang", although the 09 coaster's teaser art is definitely not the eye of any horse I've ever seen.

As someone else suggested, though... a "Cobra" is a type of Mustang car...

Also, the fact that cobras aren't native to Ohio didn't stop them from naming the original "King Cobra" in the first place.

As far as the track color, copperheads are reddish brown in color. They're not really known for speed, though.

Doing a little investigation into types of "fast" snakes, the Black Mamba is the world's fastest.

Further digging... the "Taipan" snake is native to Australia. Could the buildings some are mistaking for "western-themed" be instead, Australian outback?

Reading all these posts and all this speculation, I keep hearing faint echoes of Banshees...

does anyone have the pictures of all of the teaser signs

Its not Mustang!

Besides, you shouldn't be looking at gift horses in the eye!

P-51 Mustangs don't have eye's. The eye is there to throw you off.

It is because they eye is one giant clue.

^Unless it is the eye of a pilot, but I know a bunch of them and none of them have eye's like that. But I am sure the eye is just to throw you off.

In another thread I said Moccasin (as in Water), and hubby says Mustang. I like the Cobra. I think it's gonna be an amphibian related to the Ohio Area, 36 yrs in the making, etc. just my 2 cents.

deb

Maybe the song Mustang Sally was in a movie that had to do with some type of reptile.?

P.S I've also been reading the forums for weeks now and I've finally made an account and posted something!!

If the three videos on the official website are any indication, I don't think it is snake related. If it were, the camera would be positioned closer to the ground. And the eye is definitely not the eye of a horse.

My thinking is it is could be some kind of lizard (Komodo Dragon, as someone else suggested) or dinosaur, or perhaps crocodile or alligator?

Makes me think of the old song "The Eye of the Tiger".
