bkroz Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Look at the pattern, 2005, BLSC 2007, FH 2009, DB 2012...??????? 2010, took 2 years to build DB I would be cautious of this. We're still in the infancy of the park under Cedar Fair, so it's hard to say that the pattern they've expressed in the past is what we ought to expect for the future. Paramount built The Italian Job: Stunt Track. Firehawk was an uprooted ride from Geauga Lake. Just because a coaster was added every other year under the previous owner and during the park's rapid expansion under Cedar Fair doesn't mean that's going to be normal. Now that the park has two large coaster thrill rides and is sufficiently "beefed up" to the usual Cedar Fair standard, it may not be that we get a coaster all the time. And I personally won't complain about that. I was near tears at the additions this year (WindSeeker is a great ride, but also the new lights, themeing, music, effects all over the park... Dinosaurs, too), and would much prefer more years like this to more years of one giant coaster addition and not much else. Not forever, of course, but there's no harm in it for a few seasons at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Good to see you posting again jmceowen but please do nit hold your breath. If by late Wednesday night no announcement is made other than a few maybe that was the announcement announcements, then the future announcements should fit in with the 2012 or Haunt threads.

CoasterGeek101 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I think the three question marks stands for 3 minor attractions. I think one is a DA expansion, the next one is a water coaster, and the third is a BB expansion with another wave pool. If not that, my money is on texas giant SOB. Three question marks, three letters in SOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergreek35 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm guessing waterpark expansion. 09 DB. 10 Planet Snoopy change. 11 WindSeeker and dinosaurs. Waterpark has been untouched since 05. It's only a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondhawk Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 1? = New Dinos 2? = Waterpark expansion 3? = Either something with SOB or a new Pink's restaurant I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 New dinosaurs arrived. There are truck convoys moving through the woods behind Firehawk. They are entering next to The Beast and Firehawk. There are some work going on out in the woods around Firehawk and Son of Beast. Anyone can see this riding WindSeeker. I wonder what this is......

Guest PizzaBaby027 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 They have already said that DA will be a expanding attraction, so that is out of the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the big Ruyang Yellow River dino. I saw them putting it together when I was going up the lift hill of Firehawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three question marks, three letters in SOB. I do think your on to something. Three question marks, for three different things? Definitely Dino expansion. That, or SOB. One can only hope, right?

Tanna Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I like how everyone makes all "Rear Window" on the WindSeeker. Anyone ride it just to ride, or is it to see what's happening at the fringes of the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone ride it just to ride, or is it to see what's happening at the fringes of the park? I do enjoy the view of the park. Off in the distance over behind the maintenance/storage area behind FoF you can see a field with SoB's old red/yellow PSV cars and some of the leftover phantom theater seats. Pretty cool if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arichmann Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Didn't they announce WindSeeker right before season passes went on sale last year? If so they would have to announce what the new attraction(s) would be for 2012 as they usually tie that into their reason to buy a season pass and they usually have it posted in the Halloween Haunt maps at the park.

kingsrattler Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yes, the two are usually in very close proximity of each other. The two parks (that I am thinking of CW and CW) have announced their 2012 plans, and have also announced season passes for next year. One could assume the same will happen at Kings Island.

Pagoda Gift Shop Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Usually yes. It is possible they will continue to wait if they have no "new" attractions for 2012 though. Without a major attraction of some sort to help sell season passes, it can be better to just wait until January when people will be more excited about any kind of KI news.

Pagoda Gift Shop Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Right. Season passes will go on sale like they normally do. I just don't think there will be an announcement until maybe early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
