Early Signs of 2014 Expansion?

[Bennett]

One would think that a ride on the Drop would tell the tale...

[Shawn Meyer]

I'm hoping for a Gravity Group woodie like Voyage goes in SOB spot. I want to say this too, maybe for all the people including myself attending Beast Buzz this summer, they will hint details like how they did at Coaster Mania last summer on the new ride.

Lets see if Ouimet is still leaning towards a Disney approach or if he has changed off that path...

A new indoor roller coaster would be great!

Is Flight of Fear not enough?

I went to KI today and saw the fence with the teaser signs and peaked through and i could clearly see footers being poured where thunder alley used to be. After going on the Eiffel Tower to confirm this, i also realized that this will probably be the station area of what will probably be a new coaster for next year. Kings Island tweeted a teaser a couple of months ago that read "308". I have a feeling that this will be another Leviathan type coaster that will only be better.

^Could you post a link to that tweet?

[kirbias1]

go to KI twitter and then go to Jan. 23. read the tweets right before it too. the guy is asking KI is they will put up teasers and they respond by saying "sometimes in the winter, sometimes never...." then the next tweet is the "308"

Here's the post...

"@gahannaman 308"

[lopan]

someone thats there today needs to take a e tower pic of the site :-)

[Ffej]

Why @gahannaman though? He didn't ask any questions that I see in his Twitter. Not sure if it has any relevance, but Millenium Force is 308 feet tall...

Edit: I thought MF was 310, but Google came up with 308 and confused me. 310 it is.

[kirbias1]

MF is 310'Leviathan is 306'. there is no other coaster that is 308'....yet. the significance is that they had multiple tweets right before that asking if they were going to have teasers for next year, then the next tweet was 308.

Q. If we were trying to think of a random meaningless number between 300 and 309, what number would that be? (‏@gahannaman)

A. 308

So? What do you think? Teaser?

[The Interpreter]

Diversion.

Terp, trying to help.

Ride op on the Tower elevator today on the way down had a guest ask her "Are the Go-Karts still here?" To which she replied, "No they are removed for the new ride." About 8 of us made the awwwww gesture. Take that with a grain of salt, but I also would not be surprised to see a new area expansion. Anything is possible.

[DBInternational]

Gosh all this excitement is just killing me! I need to go to the park next weekend and check all this out! Also if anyone has any pictures of the old SOB/TA area from the Eiffel Tower today please post them ASAP.

[BB1]

Sorry, double post, don't mind this, just keep calm and carry on to the lower post.

[BB1]

Intimidator 308 anyone?

It is not a random meaningless number at all, it is in fact the ​ Millennium number.

Wikipedia has Millenium at 310'

While google and many more sites have 308......Well, I guess that is what BB1 gets for never going to Cedar Point!

[SonofBaconator]

Intimidator 308 anyone?

Please, no more sequel rides...

[Maverick00]

Millennium has always been 310. Also, those clearly look like things used in footers.

[Jayblazer]

Here's what I took today. You can see the layout of the "footers" pretty good.

[Jayblazer]

Sorry for back to back posts but here is one zoomed in as far as I can get it.. I didn't even realize these were in the pic.

The excitement is killing me ... too bad we won't know what it is for at least another four months...

heard dat. Maybe all this anticipation will make school end faster

[silver2005]

Here's what the signs say btw-

"Warning: Video & Audio monitoring in progress, due to the increasing occurance of mysterious and bone chilling screams, it has become necessary to close this section of the park until the cause of this evil phenomenon can be identified."

[dare-to-fly]

Just remember that these things could be hints, and they could also be intentionally misleading to make you think it's something that it isn't.

An example comes to mind when Diamondback was rumored to have been given the name Mustang, and one of the park's teaser signs was "Ride Sally Ride."

[Coasterkidd23]

Looks like The Beast is deciding to finally spit a steel demon!
