TheBEASTunchained Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Do you think Kings Island will get anything new for 2013? A ride, show, attraction, new area, etc. I thought that now that its October, it would be a good time to ask this question, and because Cedar Fair plans on making the rest of their announcements for 2013 this month.

Oldschool75 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes, there is always something new. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 At most, I anticipate a Luminosity equivalent. Realistically, I expect little to nothing. The park's probably spending a good chunk of capital knocking down a pile of wood in Action Zone. If the park were operated by the Kochs, I'd say we'd see an investment like Holiday World's 2011 additions: general parkwide improvements that, compared to a ride, don't cost a ton but help improve the customer experience. When KI does this, it doesn't usually get announced until a month or so before opening day, and it's only announced on Facebook/Twitter, if at all. I'm a little curious to see how WindSeeker fares this off-season, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback96 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 There will likely be new employees. Aside from that, I expect nothing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I wonder if we will see any new trees in 2013 ... I just made myself sad . In all seriousness, I don't think there will be any new attractions for 2013, given the demolition of Son of Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 A new season, but that gets old quick! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would really like to see another launched coaster hit the park soon. Either that or another looper. When you put it into perspective, what rides have inversions? Invertigo, Flight of Fear, Firehawk, and Vortex. Not necessarily a wide variety. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 There will be a large area of new Grass. Nothing new for 2013 saves me a lot of Money because we will be not be renewing our passes for 2013. Gonna try and visit some different parks next year. As for loops, I really wish KI would give Intamin a call about installing the first 12 Inversion Coaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jr for Birdy Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would like to go with CP passes next year even though its a longer drive, but if KI adds anything new that requires a 44 inch plus height requirement its back to KI. My 4 year old daughter somehow makes these decisions in my household and she loves Woodstock Express! She has a height chart she checks all the time to reach Diamondback,she's at 43 inches and the girl is already a coaster junky! I hope KI has big news for 2013,but if i were to guess its gonna be 2014? Im excited to hear what they will do next year 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna try and visit some different parks next year. As for loops, I really wish KI would give Intamin a call about installing the first 12 Inversion Coaster. And inversions do not a great coaster make. Even with my small, 100+ sampling of coasters, I might even be able to construct a personal philosophy that ride enjoyment is indirectly proportional to the number of inversions a ride has. Arrow's mega-loopers, IOA's Hulk, and a couple SLC's come to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Have you seen the proposed model for the 12-inversion coaster, though? It truly does look incredible. (And I'm not really a fan of inversions...just for the sake of going upside down.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's easy to spot the new thing. They already announced it. A new skyline change. (Not the restaurant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I suspect well nothing, absolutely nothing. Our "little" SOB dismantlement is our 2013 project, its a shame really, I would think that we would at least get some new things that dont have to do with the "waterpark of FUN". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 the only arrow mega looper that i heard was great was viper at sfmm and its the only one of the three left standing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieseltech20 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I prefer my coasters do more than just go up and down. Course, I'm not a hard core enthusiast type either, I just like to have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 the only arrow mega looper that i heard was great was viper at sfmm and its the only one of the three left standing Arrow loopers are all around. Vortex, Anaconda, Viper (SFMM), Tennessee Tornado, Loch Ness Monster, Fantasia, Rolling X Train, Ninja (SFOG), Demon (SFGAm)????? I am not sure what you meant by mega looper. Viper at SFMM is nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 i meant by those mega loopers over 150 ft. gasm, and shockwave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondbacker Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 There will be new rumors for the "future park expansion" in 2013. I can just see it now: a new member on here posts a topic about how they heard about a 666 ft. tall, 12-inversion Intamin coaster coming to KI in 2014 named Devil. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
