Tanna Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Maybe them little question mark boxes are clues they are going to be giving away over the next few weeks like captain nemo says or Maybe we are getting 3 new things!!! but I still don't see them letting SOB sit there another year. The square blocks look like ice cubes, or at least made of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccarthysnerd Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 they're announcement might not even have anything to do with three but if it does lets hope its somehting good (SOB Is 3 letters) and not just shows, because I never much go to watch the shows anyway, i'm there for the rides.

dr_humor Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not sure if I missed it or not, but is there a date for an announcement at all, or is it just vague? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Not sure if I missed it or not, but is there a date for an announcement at all, or is it just vague? Pretty sure it is just vague, but WindSeeker was announced around the 24th of last year. So my guess is it is within the next 2-3 weeks. But, DA was announced in February if Im not mistaken.

Cpt Crunch Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 We already got two new shows, why would they make a big deal out of another 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arichmann Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I agree with everybody else saying that they will probably reveal a "?" each week for the next three weeks leading up to the grand reveal of "Project 2012" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldschool75 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 They just updated with a new pic. ***Edit*** Seems Beast1979 reported this earlier in the August announcement thread. Can we lock one of these. Too many threads with the same topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeartheFour Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 There is a fire hydrant or something that looks like it would be located back by where x-base is located. I think they might be expanding X-base to make a new area of the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rip-phantomtheater Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I know this sounds craize, but i have seen that firehydrent b4...sorry not a good speller....and think about it...it is disapointing, but no SOB this year...i could be wrong he is surveying something new, but very faintly if you zoom in you can see terrian marks, my guess its somewhere behind the red racer, but again, your guess is good as mine!!!

Hendrick Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Given the number of fires at Cedar Point recently, the fire hydrant is obviously our new 2012 addition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlopez Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I wonder If they will be giving all 3 clues away before labor day? That would be nice. it took only like 3 days for them for this first clue so maybe in another 3 we will get another clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I want to hear what Shaggy has to say. He nailed DA well before KI announced it: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23493&st=0&p=418192entry418192 Be sure to read post #3 and then scan the speculation after that. Amazing!

CoasterFreak45 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Fox 19 is reporting that they will announce a major new attraction on Fri. at 2pm http://www.fox19.com...action-for-2012 It's already funny to read what everyone is commenting on their facebook page.

Snowman Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Fox 19 is reporting that they will announce a major new attraction on Fri. at 2pm I gotta say a major new attraction for me would be to remove all the searingly hot black asphalt and replace it with brick pavers. Coney was a MAJOR improvement on those 90+ days! CoasterFreak45, I love your statement about techies! On movie sets we often referred to actors as overpaid talking light stands with bad attitudes.

kingsrattler Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 With all the announcements by the other parks from SIX to Dolly to Hershey to Busch, Ohio is not doing too hot in the extreme thrills front. I am not imagining any new roller coaster coming to KI, but maybe Kings Island will have something worth talking about after tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 No land clearing as of yet, makes me wonder as to what will happen next year. Additions to Bomerang Bay (New Wave Pool, Cabanas, Name change), some camping facilities ala Lighthouse Point at CP or maybe a flat ride. Not sure as what to expect, but KI has done nothing to promote or tease this event. I cannot imagine it being a very big announcement. Only time will tell.

corn4ahead Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 When I think 'major', I think roller coaster. However I dont believe thats what we will recieve. I am preparing for disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 anyone else hoping the announcement is that they're finally getting rid of SoB and putting in something much better?? Y'all may hate me for saying this but I hope it's not something like Top Thrill Dragster b/c I won't go on something like that *fraidy Kat* though thinking about it, I kind of doubt it... it's likely going to be a ride that they're going to try and put in at all their parks. I wouldn't mind seeing The Crypt going either, though that's also not likely b/c any destruction and construction of something there could impact Diamondack's structure. It does make me wonder where it's gonna be!! Sux that I'm not able to go tomorrow. I was gonna, and go to The Beach today but that didn't work out lol may head up there Saturday then.

Only time will tell. that's what I'm wondering... but, they hadn't cleared any space or anything for WindSeeker when they made the annoucement last year for it, had they? I was there for the press conference, and as far as I can recall they hadn't changed any landscape for it at that point. They typically work quickly in the off season. I guess we'll find out tomorrow!! I wouldn't mind a new water ride as long as it's something cool. Does anyone know if the other parks having press conferences tomorrow as well?

No Land Clearing Needed if the Land has already been cleared and the Structure has already been built... -Andy, Holding out hope for his Beloved Worlds tallest wooden roller coaster....

Hendrick Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 WindSeeker's land was basically already cleared. All they had to do was dig up the midway (which they did anyway throughout Coney Mall.) If the announcement is for 2012, we can rule out Son of Beast. The amount of work to make that ride "reliable" and to have a "satisfactory experience" will easily take all a full year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
