CharleyTheDinosaur Posted May 31, 2013 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
THE_BEASTmaster Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 There's already a thread on this. Its called "Starting to Decode 2014". 1 Quote
TheCrypt Posted May 31, 2013 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
Existential Posted May 31, 2013 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
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted May 31, 2013 Author 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
AintNutinElse2Do Posted May 31, 2013 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

Yes I know strata implies 400' + but doesn't have to. Wow I was thinking the same thing. A play on words with "soar" and Dino"saur". Great minds think alike I guess. 1 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted May 31, 2013 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
Big Sexy Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Actually 325' 315' drop. Tallest traditional roller coaster in the world. Quote
CodyR Posted May 31, 2013 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

I can take no credit for that name as Cedar Fair trademarked it before the WindSeekers. Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted May 31, 2013 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
beastfan11 Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Then I'm not interested. Collin, ironically drinking a Guinness with lunch. 2 Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 305 foot B&M Giga. 300 foot drop. 90MPH. It will have a beautiful entrance plaza and sign. No guess on the name or theme. 2 Quote

SonofBaconator Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 309ft+ coaster 309ft- drop Green track and white supports 94mph Second longest Coaster in the Park station overlooking the entire AZ a 180 degree clockwise turn towards the lift hill Quote

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. Quote
Bennett Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 B&M 325 feet tall 345 foot drop 105 MPH 5 inversions 1 Immelmann loop (tallest in the world) 7,032 feet long Quote
jcgoble3 Posted June 3, 2013 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
Stephen Posted June 3, 2013 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. Quote
BB1 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Type: B&M Giga Height: 290 ft. Drop Height: 290 ft. Top Speed: 115 MPH Inversions: None Length: 1,720 ft. Theme: Donkey Name: The Donkey Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 And how can a 290 foot coaster do 115 mph unless it is powered? 5 Quote
tjpavlik Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 B & M inverter 200 lift hill 220 drop 7 inversions Final inversion over the top of AZ (over where water tower was) Green supports , dark grey track. The Banshee (illegitimate spawn of Son of Beast) Quote
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 b and m dive machine or hyper. 209 foot tall lift 204 foot drop 72 mph 4200 feet long splashdown ending red track yellow supports reptile cage or mustang oh, forgot its 2013. those days still haunt me. Quote

Might be a bit painful, eh? 1 Quote
Stephen Posted June 4, 2013 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
