kblanken Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Oops, I used the wrong word...Trademark is right. Can the/would the addition of an exclamation point make enough difference to allow fair usage of the phrase? It does seem they are copying that phrase.

The Interpreter Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 They may have paid or gotten permission from Kennywood to relinquish its rights. The exclamation point alone shouldn't be enough to claim uniqueness. But see Hamilton! Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 YAY!!!! I started a rumor. Whoever runs that facebook page needs to check their sources. since this topic mentions Gigas a lot, I had a question. Does anyone know why Cedar Fair decided to put a giga at CW when they just debuted behemoth 4 years earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kblanken Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I can't remember where I read it, but I remember seeing that someone at CW wanted to get people on the other side of the park instead of just the Behemoth side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 And the park, from what I have been told, is full of low capacity rides. For as big as a crowd as Canada's Wonderland gets every year they wanted another people eater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick00 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That park returns a profit faster than Cedar Point. They could easily build another coaster along the lines of Behemoth/Leviathan in another four years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 If I may be so bold... submitted for your consideration... 1. An aeriel view of Canada's Wonderland, pre Leviathan. The highlighted areas show the grounds as they existed before the coaster was installed. 2. An aeriel view of Kings Island, with an unmistakably similar area highlighted. 3. Hmmm..?! ;-) Am I saying Kings Island is getting a clone, or version of Leviathan? No. But I do think there's a great place for one at the park. From what I understand, Leviathan is an absolute shash hit at Wonderland... as was Behemoth. And if you recall, Diamondback followed Behemoth in installation. None the less, Wonderland and KD both feature coasters over the 300 mark. I wouldnt be at all surprised to see KI and Carowinds follow suite someday. *Sigh* Wishful dreaming? Maybe. But fun to speculate ;-) Even though I want a B&M Giga at KI, and the layout highlighted for KI looks nice, I would not want to stare at this when I'm on international street...

beastfan11 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Ah. No. We have so much expansion space, why are we so hell bent on ripping out foilige and squeezing in attractions? Let's put in a Ferris Wheel. And some Flyers. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupremoSteveo Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I agree with you actually, and in the highlighted space ALOT of trees would probably have to come down to make room. Oh well. Always nice to dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuskin Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The picture by international street does not look bad imo. I kinda like it. However, I agree with "beastfan11" in that, we have too much space to be trying to squeeze things into the park. Expanding Action Zone into the old SOB location is more ideal.Tusk - feeling good about being back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 YAY!!!! I started a rumor. Whoever runs that facebook page needs to check their sources. I wonder where a certain rumor smasher is when a rumor is started... I am just going to state the obvious, and most of you will agree, that the new ride location will be somewhere in Kings Island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Maybe DBInternational will make the rest of the coaster. I did it and it looked like poo... so i just took leviathan's track layout, edited it and stuck it there. Oh and gave it the name Mammoth (it was all i could come up with) heres what it looks like I love how this was used for the rumor on the Save Son of Beast's facebook profile. While I would love to see a new coaster in this spot, I highly doubt the park would name it Mammoth after a park, that is not in the Cedar Fair chain, within 4 hours has a ride named Mammoth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Found this online. Even though this is a good idea, there's to many banked turns for my taste 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Found this online. Even though this is a good idea, there's to many banked turns for my taste Seems legit. I do agree about the banked turns, I'd prefer air time and side g's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My idea: The station and turn around to the lift will be where TA was. You board the train that is facing the direction of Invertigo. Once dispatched, the train makes a 180 degree turn toward the lift as Leviathan does. Once the train crests the lift, it could go anywhere from there. It could go out around Flight Deck, or out toward FOF (being the most logical direction.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 While I do like the layout of that, what if it spanned the area of where SOB once stood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_12 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I hope KI gets an Intamin Giga coaster or else have Intamin introduce a whole new category with the roller coaster being 500+ feet tall but have the same layout or concept of Millennium Force. Also a great name for the ride could be "Iron Beast" or "Steel Beast"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Meyer Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I highly doubt Cedar Fair would copy cat off of their signature rides at Cedar Point and bring it down to Kings Island. Anything is possible, but when you see what they did with Diamondback, it just goes to show you that Cedar Fair is creative at squeezing rides in. I feel like Kings Island can squeeze whatever they're building quite easily since they removed Thunder Alley plus the freed up land that SOB once took up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a great name for the ride could be "Iron Beast" or "Steel Beast"! Kings Island will never have a coaster 500ft+ tall with Cedar Fair as their owner unless Cedar Point gets one first.
