Beastfreak Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Perhaps they have already hinted at a new coaster for the 2004 season. You all remember that day at the last ride of The Beast? Also, does B&M make a giga coaster? They have hinted at stuff to look out for this coming season as future development. The "land clearings" though don't really "hint" at a coaster, not when they are on opposite sides of the park. A coaster most likely wouldn't jump across the park and pretty doubtful they would wrap it really close around the edge of the park between those two points. Now always we can say they are builting two new coasters or those land clearings are for something totaly different. To answer your other part about a B&M giga. Supposedly Cedar Point had looked at different companies to make their giga and B&M was one of them, however B&M either didn't want to go that high or Cedar Point threw out their bid because of cost to get it that high. I don't know which if either is correct but that sounds about right. I'm sure they can do it and eventually they probably will but so far they haven't built one.

Beastfreak Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 No one was argueing anything. We were simply stating our opinions. Neither of us feel that those people who are instantly saying its a floorless coaster and that they know all are telling the truth. Does Aaron posting this make him know everything, no. Notice the title of the thread is posed as a question. He doesn't know if it is true or not, but he sure hopes it is like everyone else.

Aaron Posted February 19, 2003 Author Share Posted February 19, 2003 We do not know for sure whether or not PKI will be getting a B&M, I just thought it was interesting that ACE News only mentioned B&M in their short little blurb about PKI. ACE News does not put out "false" information, they would most likely lose their relationships with the parks if they did so, and because of their relationship with parks, they usually know all about their future additions, they just obviously cannot reveil what those additions may be until announced. So in conclusion, we don't know for sure whether or not we will be getting a B&M, nor do we know if we'll be even getting a coaster. I just found this article interesting, and it makes you wonder if we will be seeing a future attraction at PKI from B&M. There's no reason why we should be getting into fights. It's fun to speculate, let's just not blow this out of proportion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenageninja Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 ::claps:: Amen, Aaron. I still believe strongly in a B&M next year, don't know what type don't care. I just think next year is going to be a good year for the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 (edited) I relly hope it is a flying coaster, not only would it do well at PKI, but it would be part of the whole rollercoaster experience and a new experience too!

heather6173 Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 CoasterKrazy, I'm not arguing with you here and, in fact, agree with you completely on your point of being miffed with the liars, but as beastfreak basically said, we don't live in Mayberry and things aren't always as they seem. As I said before, take EVERYTHING you read or hear with a grain of salt until it's been announced officially by PKI. My basic thing was you coming on here making it sound like this site is full of blundering idiots. I don't post a lot, but mostly enjoy reading what everybody has to say. If I were to come on here and read BS over and over again, then ya know, that would be less time I spend every day worrying about "real life." I'm not saying it's right to lie..I'm just saying it's like reading a really great (and sometimes hilarious) fiction novel where you wonder where some of them come up with the things they write about.

Coasterfan Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I still beleive strongly that we will be getting a coaster in '04. It might be a B&M and it might not be a B&M but as long as it's a coaster it'll be fine with me. It's been 3 years since we got a coaster and I think that PKI wants to attract coaster enthusiasts to the park again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Two coasters would be really kewl. A new stand up coaster, and a new inverted giga. I'm all game for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DegenRider Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 It may not even be a B&M. Personally I would like to see a S&S-arrow coaster. A Turbo shot would be neat also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnterTheVortex Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think that is emminent that pki gets a coaster next year, because i think people are getting tired of not having new coasters. Heck, cp and mm get new coasters pretty much every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Ceader Point gets a new coaster every week! Anyway I'd like a B&M, there more custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterKrazy Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Heather: I suppose I should have been a little more specific with my original post. The few people that I have been discussing are not members of these boards, as far as I know. I actually think that this is one of the best, if not the best, message board for Paramount's Kings Island information. I like to read amusing "rumors" and such just like you, but as I said before, once someone says that they "know for a fact," and they are being serious, it's not fun and games anymore. As soon as that sentence pops up on my screen, the gloves come off and I'm ready to fight. In my opinion, lies waste board space, and there's no reason why they should be allowed to continue taking up that space. Anyway, back to the possible new coaster.

fyrfyter Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 So, does anyone know if B & M has ever, or will ever make a Giga? That would be a cool first for PKI to have a B & M Giga. Hoefully, they can make it really exciting if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterKrazy Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 B&M has yet to make a giga coaster ( One that is over 300ft. tall ) but they are able to. From what I have read at other sites, Cedar Point considered many coaster companies to build Millennium Force, including B&M. Due to the space constraints that was placed on their new coaster for 2000, Cedar Point decided to go with Intamin, since they could provide the huge lifthill on a small footprint. Granted, this is information that I have gathered from message boards, so it may not all be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Man if we do get a coaster were would they bulid it??? over by The Racer and Flight of Fear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterfan Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 As much fun as a giga or a tera would be, I would still rather have either a good stand-up or a floorless. A new wooden coaster would be nice too but PKI is already the wooden roller coaster capital of the world so they would probably not see a new one very important to their park.

pkitripod Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Everybody has a right to their own opinion, but if I were you, I'd only take things with a grain of salt until it's officially been announced by PKI. This site is full of people who truly love PKI and want to see it to it's full potential. With amusement parks that have the reputation that PKI has carried with it since opening day, there's always going to be hear-say, so why not talk about it on here and get other people's opinions on what they've heard? Sure, some of it may not be true, but it's our God given right to talk about and speculate all we want. Until you have "inside sources" of your own, don't knock other people because they've wanted to share with the rest of us what they've heard or what others have confirmed. i agree in waiting for kingsisland to announce the ride since speculation is hardly what happens at ki as we all know. and yes it is a good thing to dream but dream realisticly please, to all those big dreamers out there you should be a good engineer on new rides.

dr zoidberg Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 since there is another announcement to come before April 12th.. i think that PKI will either announce a new coaster for 2003 or 2004. what does eveyone think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I don't think that PKi will announce a coaster in 2004 for this announcement it will probably be our third 2003 ride. I think that it will be the announcement for Sponge Bob 3d but I can be wrong so dont hold it against me if I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr zoidberg Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 well i know that sponge bob will be a 3rd ride because it was in my employee packet when i got re-hired. so... possibly could announce the coaster for 2003 and have it done by the middle of the season.. perhaps. but.. we'll have to wait - zoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Well they haven't announced Sponge Bob So That's probably the announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr zoidberg Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 According to Screamscape.com Spongebob Squarepants in 3D - (11/20/02) Paramount and Blur Studio (7th Portal) have confirmed that a new simulator film called Spongebob Squarepants in 3D will be added to the Action FX Theaters at all parks. plus i also read that it was coming in the Cincinnati Enquirer. -zoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 If PKi's getting a new coaster I doubt that it's our third announcement because in the newspaper interview with Jeff he said it will be an instant favorite ride to jump on.

Beastfreak Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Jeff is one to play with words. SpongeBob is the third attraction and it is in the action fx theatre. To get in those seats, most people have to "jump" up because they are elevated so your feet don't hit the floor. He is a very tricky one, that Jeff. Now if only I can solve that mystery about why the land clearings were mentioned. Probably is nothing, but just picking away in the back of my mind.
