A new coaster isnt going to happen in 2013,sorry dreamers! I would be suprised if we get one before 2016. Although I enjoy dreaming too! I know a ferris wheel has to be coming eventually,but im excited to just hear any news coming in 2013!

It might not be a giant red steel thingy for 2013, but announce something big and red for next year?

If nothing majorly expensive goes in this year, I will be very surprised if KI does not get a new coaster for 2014.

After the new 2014 coaster, I don't see any coasters going in for awhile. I also think that after the next coaster is installed at KI, a new coaster will mean the removal of one currently opperating at KI.

I would love a new coaster for 2014,but all this talk of taking KI in a different direction and getting back to its roots makes me have my doubts.

From the Matt Ouimet interview:

"Last week, the company reported near-record attendance and a 63 percent total return to investors for 2012"

I think Kings Island can support an expensive new coaster, I also believe the demand is there.

Not installing it this year gave them more time to clear SoB land, also attracting thrillseekers from KI region to travel to Cedar Point to ride Gatekeeper, thus selling Platinum Passes in the process.

Could "red" simply mean red herring by chance?

Well, as it can be inferred, the new thing is a new sit down restaurant called "Reds Hall of Fame Grille". It is red, it does have a great view on Diamondback, and many all-stars will be there at the park. I am glad they took this new step, re-embracing the culture that has faded from KI from yesteryear, I believe that through this that people that go to KI could actually see how Cincy is and a bit of who it is. A bit of the German heritage, the fun days of Coney, Larosa's pizza, Servatti's, and now the Reds, it is now becoming more of the KI I have been waiting for.

“@KingsIslandPR: Exciting #KingsIsland news to share with our followers tomorrow.”

I hate looking at Kings Island Facebook comments, people complaining about no new roller coaster. I love all these little things. Can't wait until tomorrow - even if it is probably a small thing.

I love how many people are upset that they're "throwing money" at DA. Do these people seriously think DA lost money, so they're expanding it, or are they just upset that the park added something they don't enjoy?

I wonder what exciting news they have to share tomorrow. Could it be some new event for this upcoming season?

I'm gonna guess something to so with the Reds.

I'd love Reds day to return!

Where is this new Reds restaurant located at in the park?

Where Rivertown Junction, Wings and Columbia Palace were.

On the topic, I thought I would share this bit of information. Has anyone else noticed that technically the Reds Hall of Fame Grille is a diversion, due to that 1. everyone would go to it, 2 it would take many eyes off the SOB field. A diversion, in more ways than one.
