Vortex Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I made an X-Base extension It's not that big of a area back their. Not sure why everyone thinks they are going to do a extension. The park does have room next to Firehawk, but the Dino's are their right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's still a decent size area though that could easily hold a couple flats or something. You probably could even fit another coaster in there if you wanted. Look at the space in relation to the surrounding attractions. Flight of Fear itself would fit into that space so plenty of room for a couple flats and restrooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hopefully someone in the next few years. If you don't want to ride it then don't. ..I won't.. wouldn't if I didn't like it enough, but my point is that I'd rather time pass, a new company prove their worth in the 300' coaster business, and we end up with a coaster as reliable as B&M, but with a higher quality ride experience (and that's subjective); if a 300' coaster comes in 'now', it won't come later, more than likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaverick Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I rather B&M attempt something like Maverick than getting a B&M giga. I don't think I would want KI to be their first attempt though. Just incase it's an unsuccessful attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't see why B&M couldn't make something like Maverick. All of the technology used in Maverick is something that B&M already does or is working on; i.e. a launch. Other than that, I can't think of anything else that Maverick utilizes that B&M can't replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If Kings Island is going to get anything like Maverick, I suspect it would come from Mack rather than B&M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoeter Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Not to mention that if Kings Island got that overbuilt, it'd likely suffer the same fate as Geauga Lake/Six Flags Ohio/Six Flags Worlds of Adventure/Geauga Lake/Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom/Wildwater Kingdom.So it would reopen as Kings Island's Soak City and then be renamed simply Soak City and then possibly close after that? What is it you say, running for the door?No, completely different situation. If Kings Island were to experience a colossal failure, the land would be way too valuable to keep as a water park. It would be a multi million dollar Mason housing development. Tom Grossman wouldn't know what to do with himself! Andrew, running for the door! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansheeback Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It'll probably be one of those new fancy B&M giga coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWC2003Amy Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) I made an X-Base extension It's not that big of a area back their. Not sure why everyone thinks they are going to do a extension. The park does have room next to Firehawk, but the Dino's are their right now. Off Topic but I think this Photo was taken during one of the smoke emergancys at Flight of Fear. Notice all the fire trucks and ambulances in the back part just above Flight of Fear.

jcgoble3 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 ^ Yep, that's the Google Maps satellite view. It was indeed taken during one of the smoke incidents, and is now available on Google Maps for all to see. The park can't be happy about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIFan1 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Personally Id like to see Intamin put in a giga coaster or a Maverick like ride since Kings Island has never had an Intamin Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI Guy Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 *Cough, cough the park's newest existing, wooden coaster and probably most popular ride, was built 35 years ago *cough, cough. The scourge of SOB is gone. It's time, to bring back the wood, (cue Beavis and Butthead joke.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 And Maverick, as the name of a Cedar Point attraction, is always capitalized here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoe124 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I extremely hope for a Mack launch or Maurer Sohne X-Car coaster. Pic from http://www.europapark.de/en/park/attractions-shows/blue-fire-megacoaster-powered-gazprom 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I don't understand how Kings Island having as seemingly strong standing as it does, could go bankrupt just because it added too many thrill rides at once. Overindulgence and a severe irresponsibility in financial decisions, which 3 or 4 new major rides in a short burst would be, can bring anyone down. For each of these "new rides" there's cost to design, manufacture, transport to site, build, and promote, plus there's the lifelong costs to maintain and power said ride on top of all the existing rides, diners, and venders throughout the park, and this is just one financial aspect to the park. There's other expenditures, ranging from employee salaries to little things people forget like production of the small, plastic passes many of us hold and the basic plumbing many of us use one to two to three times a visit. (And let's not forget that Cedar Fair has many other parks, not just Kings Island.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 A ride like Ricochet at Carowinds would be a cool edition. I think it could be a great fit in X-Base or something. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stashua123 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Well no more Flying Eagles in X-Base, as we got those last year. I will now start the tedious process of re-reading for some hints on the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster_Addict Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Assuming that KI gets the giga, I am curious which park will be lined up for the big addition in 2018, Kings Dominion might need some love, but some people say that Canada's Wonderland should / will remove their Vekoma SLC in favor of a Banshee-like invert by B&M. It is a little surprising that B&M has not built any other inverts since then, especially with the vest restraints. Heck, no retrofit projects / new train projects have come up. Those vests really added the icing on the cake, and that is one reason why I put Banshee #1 among inverts... Agree? http://coasteraddict.com/5-reasons-Banshee-still-reigns-supreme/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaks76 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 The few inverts I've rode Banshee is far and away the best. I like the older ones, but older B&M's I feel like the 4 across seating is to restrictive. I do not like Invertigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I still think we'll get a flat rides or family rides package for next year. What I don't know is what coaster will come next? What coaster will come after that coaster? I know coasters like RMC's, Blitzs, Dive Machines, are the least likely to happen so what's left? Giga, Triotech, Launched, etc?

BuckeyeBond Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 My first choice is a Giga, but if we don't get the Giga I'm hoping for a Mack multi-launch like Blue Fire or Helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'd love to get a multi-launch Mack like Blue Fire. Really any sort of blitz style coaster like Maverick or Blue Fire would be great. Maverick is probably my favorite coaster so love to see something like it added but don't see Cedar Fair going with Intaimin in the near future so a Mack is more likely and could do something very similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
