jcgoble3 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I'll grab an Auntie Anne's pepperoni pretzel. Don: Here eat a snickers bar. KIC: Why? Don: Because you turn into trolls when you're hungry. Fact: This post is full of win. 4
millenniumforce327 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I wonder why KI is taking so long to announce this ride. Before they even broke ground for GK they announced it, and it's been like that for other coasters at Cedar Fair parks and even SF. This ride must be a world record breaker and KI wants to dramatically announce later this year or maybe even next year. Anyway, we'll find out in time, thanks Don for the update! *takes a bite of snickers bar* 1
NightlyBeast Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I feel like someone don't want us on their trail... so they derail us with... snickers bars(NO CAMPING)! Don's said the announcement prob wont happen this summer, the ride has a paranormal theme... who's willing to bet on a Haunt related announcement campaign. 2
Zayzayd13 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Not even a single support is up yet. Has it been 90 days yet for the supposed "storage track" footers? This is going to be a long process.

Both Intimidators, Gold Striker, and Leviathan were ground broken and under construction when they were announced. 1

Anyway, we'll find out in time, thanks Don for the update! *takes a bite of snickers bar* They are not taking a while to announce it . Diamondback wasn't announced until August 6th 2008 (somewhere around there) and WindSeeker wasn't announced until September. I think it would be early to announce it soon. We will probably have a good idea what it is before they announce it anyway. 1
The Interpreter Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 You might better have had a Snickers bar and read a few posts back before you replied.... 3
Tanna Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 I'm definitely going to be a tourist brat when Haunt comes. I'm planning on double wristbands, souvenirs, and sticking my face as close to that fence to see what you all can see. I appreciate people putting up pics of the construction, so I can join in. 1
Dieselwilkey Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Just a thought.... If it is indeed a paranormal theme then wouldn't it make sense to announce on September the 13th?! Aka Friday the thirteenth..... 'No camping'? OMG I THINK I DECODED SOMETHING 5
Browntggrr Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Ask about the SoB station again: Don becomes Mr. T: Announcement during HH? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U6r_WX2M-s8 My favorite: 2

We will probably have a good idea what it is before they announce it anyway. I'm pretty sure I've said this previously in this thread: WindSeeker was announced on August 24, NOT in September. You are probably thinking of Soak City the following year, which was announced in September. 2
upstop Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Dieslwilkey, you just might have something there....(at least about the Friday the 13.)

Aka Friday the thirteenth..... 'No camping'? OMG I THINK I DECODED SOMETHING That's still part of calendar summer.... True but for Kings Island it is the only Friday that they are closed for the operating season. It doesn't even show as a private event so to go off what Don said 'May not be a day in the summer'.... Kinda makes me wonder.
TheCrypt Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 It doesn't make much sense to announce something of this magnitude when nobody's there. 1
teenageninja Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Recently it's been a trend to have the GP around for announcements, but historically not so much. I wouldn't count on them doing it necessarily while the park is open.
Zayzayd13 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 My pieces to the puzzle: Evil Phenomenon+Bone chilling screams+ Banshee trademark+ "May not be an announcement this summer"= An announcement coming some time possibly in October on one of the Saturdays before Halloween Haunt begins that night. It just intrigues me that there are no supports, no track yet, and not many clues at the sight.
Dieselwilkey Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 It doesn't make much sense to announce something of this magnitude when nobody's there. They can still do press releases while the park is closed. What would make a difference if there were people in the park or not? 1
Zayzayd13 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Remember, Canada's Wonderland announced Leviathan on Facebook at 7 AM, then later on a Canadian Talk show later that morning. Not saying its unlikely, but do you think Kings Island will do something like this for this project
YoungStud Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 This ride no matter what it is going to be a huge letdown. All the suspense keeps on building it up and when we find out what it is we will be like, its just that?
YoungStud Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Why not announce it at the stroke of midnight. I hope that is not a pun...
secondson Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 Here's a novel idea: How about we not worry about it, and let the park announce it when they decide to announce it? We're getting so caught up in silly stuff right now. It's not even the end of June, there is no steel onsite, the footers aren't even finished being poured, they're still moving dirt around...we don't even know the name for sure (and some of us *coughmecough* are going to really be disappointed if it's "Banshee")... ...and everyone is acting like a little kid who can't wait until Christmas morning. Be patient. Wishing they would go ahead and announce it isn't going to make them do it. 6

Decoding clues like 'no camping' or probable announcement dates doesn't seem silly to me. I'm pretty sure you've been a kid trying to tear off the wrapping as well or you wouldn't be in this forum. 4
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) ^You have a point, but, for me at leaset, I enjoy speculating and hearing what other people think. This doesn't happen very often, so why not enjoy it while we can! He beat me.... Edited June 24, 2013 by KI FANATIC 37 2

Trying to decode the TYPE of coaster isn't the same as you guys bellyaching and whining about WHEN it's going to be announced!! 2
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 How long after this future ride is announced and constructed and the first rides are given before a new thread is created asking, "when are we getting a new ride?" How soon will a decoding thread like this is created asking about new construction that is being observed? Didn't we ask the same thing before Diamondback was constructed? I am waiting for whatever ride is announced to be so different from what is being discussed and speculated here. 7
