CharleyTheDinosaur Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I've been reading this forum for years but this is my first time posting. I thought it might be interesting to post our official predictions of the new attraction in 2014 before any reliable information leaks out. Lets see if anybody gets well anything correct. Try to keep any predictions limited to something that may actually be built (ie no 600ft hyperstrato coasters with 26 inversions) Add any categories you feel necessary in your prediction. Here's mine: Type: B&M Floorless Height: 170ft Inversions: 6 Track color: Tan Support color: Dark green Theme: Dinosaurs (this prediction has nothing to do with my screen name. Just thought it would be a tie-in with Dinosaurs Alive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 There's already a thread on this. Its called "Starting to Decode 2014". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 ^That thread is about decoding teasers - or at least it was. It would be nice, in my opinion, to have guesses diverted to another thread (this one.) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Existential Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 ZacSpin where they are currently placing footers and a GCI in the other two clearings. Or... See the actual 'Banshee' rendering I uncovered via my stealthsuit in my avatar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Thanks Crypt. That's what I was thinking when I started this. Decoding 2014 is turning into real news and rumors. This is just predictions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AintNutinElse2Do Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Mine would be.... Type- B&M Invert Height-220' Drop- 235' Inversions- 6 Track Color- YellowIsh green Supports- Almost white with lift hill supports red Theme- how does one theme a Strata-Soar? Yes I know strata implies 400' + but doesn't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdawg1998 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Type: B&M Giga Height: 306' Inversions: 0 Track Color: Blue Theme: Bigfoot (lol). Not kidding, though, I think we'll be getting something similar to Leviathan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sexy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Actually 325' 315' drop. Tallest traditional roller coaster in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyR Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Type: B&M Dive Height: 270'+ Inversions: 4 Track color: Grey/Supports dark green Theme: ? Length: 4500' + Hoping to see a Dive Coaster, one taller and faster than Griffon would be pretty amazing, plus these coasters provide a unique intimate view, if done right, for the guests and those waiting in line. With the 45 degree lift and turnaround into vertical drop it's all up close to view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing Cedar Fair's history I'd say this is really the most likely outcome. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 B&M 308 feet or taller. This coaster is going to involve Guinness, and I'm not talking about the stout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Then I'm not interested. Collin, ironically drinking a Guinness with lunch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think I could really take it seriously. I think it would be a great 'kiddie' ride, but at this point I just want a coaster.

jcgoble3 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Manufacturer: B&M Height: 361 feet tall, peak of lift hill to ground immediately below Vertical drop: 405 feet, due to the wide variation in terrain in that area Top speed: 112 mph Inversions: None Length: Whatever is needed to bring the world record for longest roller coaster back to KI (I don't feel like looking it up right now) Theme: Roller coaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I dont remember if it was something someone on here posted or if it was something someone from Kings Island posted (Maybe both) about the skyline (not the chili) looking so much different this season. I think it would be something big enough to give us that amazing skyline back. I know most people are saying Giga 300+ feet which would be great, but I'll go bold and say, How about the worlds largest stand up roller coaster? Paying respect to the King Cobra.

Stephen Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If designed right, probably not. I know the ride was moved and park shut down, but when KK had Chang, it was not that bad or painful. It was actually fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
