Voicetek Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Hey guys, I just got a text from Kings Island that said a new world record-breaking attraction will be announced Thursday August 8th at 10pm. The plans will be unveiled during this announcement! 9 Quote
MDMC01 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 So excited; saw this on the 2014 thread and checked out the tweet to confirm! This is gonna be awesome! 2 Quote
YoungStud Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 10pm? unveiling plans for a new record breaking attraction is a lot of hype IMO, Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 This is great! I got excited when I saw "world record breaking". 1 Quote
YoungStud Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Its got to be more of a record than steepest lift hill of any invert, etc. 3 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 10 PM? Does that mean with fireworks in the background? How Tony Stark! 11 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Oh wait...2200...yeah I can make that... Thedevariouseffect being in the military, sees 10:00 thinking 1000HRS...not 2200...also this is thedevariouseffects first third person post and I don't know why I chose to do this 6 Quote

Next thing you know, you'll be reminding people who could care less that they do care some. 12 Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 When I first read the text, I incorrectly read it as Kings Island intended to break another world record, which could mean anything from Robbie Knievel to the world's longest kick line. But a world-record breaking attraction... this may be the big one. Or not. 13 Quote
TylerRider Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 With all of the evil and scary type teasers, I was hoping they would announce the attraction at night. Wish Granted!!! 3 Quote
Jasper Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 You have to take world-record breaking with a grain of salt. It could theoretically be a invert with the world's largest corskscrew, or the world's largest cobra roll, many possibilities here. 8 Quote
PyroKinesis Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 10 PM? Does that mean with fireworks in the background? How Tony Stark! I think you solved it. Iron Man: The Coaster. I would say it's a flying coaster to fit the theme, but you guys already have X-Flight, so... Quote
SonofBaconator Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 10 PM? Does that mean with fireworks in the background? How Tony Stark! Well you know, I like to go out with a bang 4 Quote
lopan Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I doubt they would make a big deal about it being a record breaker if it was something minor, perhaps im wrong? But worlds fastest lift hill or something like that would po people and they dont want that lol 8 days till rip 2014 speculation thread! :-) Quote
Ride On_17 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 So the announcement is at night...Which completely makes sense given the "may or may not be announced on a day this summer" teaser. (not sure the exact wording, just referring to Don's message.) As some people had guessed, it won't be announced a day this summer, but a night. I just can't wait to finally find out what this monster is going to turn out to be. 2 Quote

They drip that record stuff on a lot of things that don't matter. Quote
jackparanoia Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I look forward to finding out that all of Don's suspected teaser tweets were actually teasers related to the project. I would laugh for weeks about it. I also look forward to the announcement. I have 100% faith that this wont be disappointing. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 According to this article http://www.wcpo.com/dpp/news/region_north_cincinnati/mason/kings-island-says-it-will-announce-plans-for-new-record-breaking-attraction-thursday, Kings Island released a clue of what the new ride might be by handing out combs covered in fake white hair. 1 Quote

The Maestro was combing his hair getting ready to make another grand appearance! LOL...I wish 6 Quote
upstop Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Its got to be more of a record than steepest lift hill of any invert, etc. Actually, a steeper incline means a higher drop....not really a record, but there is a shorter distance to the top on this coaster for the assumed lift area....or maybe a launch about halfway up the hill like The Hulk. Quote
BeastForever Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 The moment of truth will finally come! So happy... 2 Quote
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Kings Island will be bringing us the world breaking fastest and biggest carousel! Just kidding I don't know what they will bring us but it would be pretty funny if it was that Quote

I think the fact we have a huge construction zone full of footers and it being a world record breaker confirms it will not be a let down, like Planet Snoopy... 1 Quote
XjoshhyX Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Got the text, and subsequently, my friends have already planned to be there that day before we even heard about it. So Excited! Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 What did KD say in their announcement? They put this picture up, and it turned out to be just a Planet Snoopy expansion. EDIT: I don't know if this was mentioned but there is now a countdown on KI's website. Quote
