They won't wait that long, it almost has to be soon while they've got attention and "hype" about it, once they lose that less people will even check for an announcement, let alone get excited about what it is.

Now would that not depend on what it is? Timing is important, and when to announce often depends on what is to be announced. I seem to remember a recent Cedar Fair announcement at 3 a.m. Eastern!

Were you waiting up for it like me?

Nope. An hour after that I gots to get up to catch the train!

I could see them putting up three new atrractions in the waterpark. Probably not. Perhaps three means nothing and its just for the asthesic look.

They're going to install a slot machine! and if you get three question marks in a row, you win a free Fast Lane pass for a year!

Really, though, just because there are 3 question marks doesn't mean there are 3 new attractions....

....although that is probably right....

well one has to be the da expansion if they do it

Ok, really!!?!? Lets use proper grammar please, it becomes very annoying when folks purposely misuse words!

Also the said expansion itself will not be the highlighted addition rather a new ride or new addition to said area and by doing so they have the opportunity to renovate/revamp the area.

the only thing i see missing in his post was a comma between 'expansion' and 'if' and a period at the end of the statement.

then again, i'm terrible when it comes to grammar.

The spelling, the use of Da!! Nah I don't float with them words lol! Sorry, facebook talk.

...da is an abbreviation of Dinosaurs Alive, not google13 using slang.

me thinx the rid anocment will bee a gient coster wit loops

Um, back on topic, since I'm stll pretty new here, does this happen every year. I mean the whole 500 posts guessing on what will come in 2012?

Basically, but it is usually 2011, 2010, or 2009......

...then it ends up being a disappointment (well, not for 2009.)

All I know is it isn't getting any more August than this.

Dinosaurs Ablaze.

Dinosaurs Ablaze.

Please, no. We've already had that once.

I ain't sayin' nuttin. Not that there's anything new about that.

Terp, sometimes all wet, sometimes an oxymoron. Or is that an oxy moron?

Terpy, sometimes you just flat out confuse me. Is it a bad thing that sometimes I enjoy it.

P.S. Since you said all wet I'm bet your talking about the waterpark. So it does have to do with the waterpark!

BWA HA HA HA! I HATH FIGURED OUT WHAT THE 3 NEW THINGS FOR 2012 ARE...I somehow snuck into Don Helbig's lair and snuck a peek at the plans!

#1-Kitten Dome

$5 upcharge. You get to go inside a building and pet extremely cute kittens. Replaces Flight of Fear, which is being relocated to Cedar Point, where it replaces Disaster Transport, which is being sold to a park in Japan.

#2-Catapult: THE RIDE

$20 upcharge. Basically, you pay $20 and get...CATAPULTED! And land in a giant soft pillow.

#3-Tsaeb Fo Nos (Weird name, eh? )

Only new attraction that is not an upcharge. Standing 218 feet tall, Tsaeb Fo Nos is the tallest wooden roller coaster in da world. It reaches 78mph, making it the fastest wooden roller coaster in the world. At 7,032 feet, it will be the 2nd longest wooden roller coaster in the world behind The Beast. Opening 2012 in Action Zone, next to Flight Deck and Adventure Express.

And a B&M Wing Rider is coming to Kings Island in 2013, followed by a B&M Giga in 2014, but the full details for these have yet to be fully planned out.

OK, OK...I'm just joking! These are all FAKE! I just wanted to generate some laughs, that's all...and thought these were pretty funny.

I think you have that one backwards....

Terp, bordering on saying too much...where IS that ledger, Carolyn? Boos!?

^

It was backwards on purpose... Sounded funny.

ha!

but the waterpark additions do sound interesting. I have been wanting a water-coaster for some time after riding Great Wolf's. I would not be totally satisfied, but I think that if we get some additons to the waterpark that would be pretty cool.

or it's "Tsaeb Fo Nos" or bust!

Sometimes my posts are best when not read quite so literally. Lose a little focus and concentrate on the great rose bowl of miasma.

Terp, you do make me wonder sometimes... That almost seemed a little too obvious. Combined with what you've said before, I've got a good idea of what's coming for a formerly premier(e) feature at KI. But on another train of thought, I think you're just taking us for a really rough ride to see who says, "Hey, are you taking us for a loop? Or are you maybe Gerst really excited about what's to come?" That's a really wide gauge of thought...

But, seriously--are you teasing us?!

(You know, it's kind of hard to stop trying to make Terp-worthy puns once you've started sometimes...)

Tell me about it. Paging Melinda A. Paging Melinda A. Assistance is needed in Aisle 3.

Yawn. Already stopped checking. Seriously...toss out a bone. At least a date, or something.

As time goes on, my standards for 2012 continue to drop. At this point I think I would be content if they would just repave the parking lot. But they won't. Because they are Kings Island.

Funny how KI seems to remind me of the Bengals.

No, if Kings Island was the Bengals then The Beast would be retiring, and Diamondback would be getting traded to Cedar Point.
