Browntggrr Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 It's times like these where I must ask one simple question: Where's the Dippin' Dots Guy when you need him? Found him! ummmm.... anyone remember the SOB ad the spoofed the blair witch project?!?! running through the woods? this second video is somewhat along those lines........ <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.c...bed/RWe7uNsn5nk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> That is TOO funny!
darkmarkman Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 The Dippin Dots guy told me we are getting a 600ft wooden flyer that jumps track at 318.11 feet in the air. It hits 250 mph using the longest LIM run ever. See what i did with the reveal date
Windseeker Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 The Dippin Dots guy told me we are getting a 600ft wooden flyer that jumps track at 318.11 feet in the air. It hits 250 mph using the longest LIM run ever. See what i did with the reveal date OH WOW!!!! That's going to be Awesome! I can't wait to ride it! How did you find out before Friday?

IMAO!!!! he is joking. You cant do that with any coaster, unless you want to kill some people.
Delirium13 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 It seems the art of sarcasm has been lost in this topic...

Browntggrr Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 ^ Yes. He is joking about the 600' coaster. But the "wooden flyer that jumps track at 318.11 feet in the air" IS true.
Windseeker Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 ^ Yes. He is joking about the 600' coaster. But the "wooden flyer that jumps track at 318.11 feet in the air" IS true. Really? That's crazy! I don't think I will be able to ride a coaster that jumps the track. Will you ride it?
Browntggrr Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 ^ Heck yeah! Think about it.... Get wet on the new AquaTrax, and with the airtime on the new jumping coaster, it's almost a certainty you will be dry!
RingMaster Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 ^ And without having to pay a handful of nickels for the Family Dryer! Oh, wait, they'll probably make it an upcharge attraction. Shucks...

Cort Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 "Turn the clock back on thrill" could as well refer to older types of rides. Such as; a simple wooden coaster, mine train, looping coaster, etc. Or, as everybody else has explained millions of times, it means it will be themed to something from the past. A Bigger Version Of The Flying Eagles?? Oh, YEAH !!
AintNutinElse2Do Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Is Geauga's Time Warp ride accounted for?
son of beast214 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 man this is like a show opera (even although i cant stand them) , no one knows whats going to happen and the end (3-18-11) will surprise us all!!!!
CoasterNerd1996 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I hope we get some more picture today. A 3rd teaser video would be nice too
rotag Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 a small bit is telling me that this will happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx_UJxuQGXo ...i hope that portion is wrong & we actually do get something.
CoasterNerd1996 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I got nothing else to do so I will go over the clues. Scales or reptile skin Bones A Map A shipping container Trees with ribbons Mud a Goose odd teaser video... (off topic, but it would be so aweosme if KI had a zip line course in the woods, like Dollywood. It would be a fee for guests, but if you have a gold pass it should be free. )
RailRider Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 The wild speculation of the off-seasson. What a beautiful thing it is. Spreads like wildfire. I never imagined so many Dipin Dots vendors were members of this site.
74Gibson Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Hey! Stop complaining folks! This is quality entertainment.
Dieseltech20 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Yes it is. Friday will be even more hilarious.
DropZone4ever Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Yea, tell me a better way than this to prep for Opening Day!! I haven't thought this hard about Coasters since before the WindSeeker announcement!!!
thatbandguy8807 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I'm still trying to figure out what all of this means. I have been thinking hard and have no idea. when some people started talking about a new movie in Action Theater I was getting excited and thinking "FINALLY!!! SOMETHING BESIDES SPONGE BOB!" but now, the clues seem to be trailing away from that. Guess we will all find out in 3 days
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 No one has mentioned it yet, but in the KI Insider blog, they posted yesterday Something big is coming to Kings Island. Details will be unveiled this Friday, March 18. http://www.visitking...s_Island%21.cfm I know nothing new in this post.
exscream team Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Did anyone else notice that Kings Islands homepage now says "make no bones about it".
CoasterNerd1996 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Did anyone else notice that Kings Islands homepage now says "make no bones about it". Yes, we did yesterday.
Oldschool75 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 I'm sure I'm thinking too much into it, but did anyone notice that the picture of the red trailer is also focused at Diamondback. The way the picture is taken, it is assumed the photographer wanted DB to be in the shot. So I guess another B&M Coaster, maybe a stand up or maybe a coaster like X-Raptor from B&M X-Raptor.

I think a B&M Dive Coaster would go great in that spot, but they are a little expensive.
darkmarkman Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Based off the clues, I think its going to be a new area behind Racer. Since guests will be able to get a look at the construction from Racer and WindSeeker, I think this is for 2012. It will probably feature multiple attractions, but they probably won't all open in 2012. Fingers crossed for a coaster in 2012, and then other rides and attractions in the next few years to come.

I think a B&M Dive Coaster would go great in that spot, but they are a little expensive. And the reason I don't see us getting a Dive Machine is all in the marketing - "New in 2011 - a brand new coaster that's the same height as Diamondback, but not quite as long, and goes the same speed and its 10 degrees steeper." The fact of the matter is, even the largest Dive Machines share nearly identical statistics with Diamondback, and one of the things that sets Dive Machines apart traditionally is the splashdown... Diamondback already has it. I'd die of happiness if a Dive Machine did come. I'm just saying that the marketing force might not be there. It's like if Cedar Point had Diamondback and Magnum. Both are incredibly different coasters experientially, but it's hard to market it to the general public without the similarities being all that stand out. At least, that's the way I would see it. Working in it's favor, Dive Machines really aren't that expensive. Griffon - the largest one on Earth - was $15,000,000. That's about two-thirds the cost of Diamondback. Granted, the ride would appear to use much less steel, but still. I'd definitely say it's worth that cost from a rider standpoint.
