upstop Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Interestingly, the Eifel Tower at KI is a French model too.... Or is it? 13 Quote
Beast Gal Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 So if this is a steel coaster not made by bolliger & mabillard, does that mean you guys won't ride it? 1 Quote

InvertiJack Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Why wouldn't I ride it? B&M is hardly a top 5 manufacturer for me if even that. In general, though, I don't care because IMO Vekoma GIBs are better than B&M Stand-Ups, which goes to show how insignificant it really is. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 3 Quote
DiamondBanshee Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I don't get how people will be unhappy by a new ride addition. I get that people may be disappointed, like I would be if we don't get a B&M giga, but I won't be unhappy if we get something else. Bring on the GCI, RMC, Mack, and (least likely but very fun) Intamin! If you don't like the ride, you still have everything else in the park that they had the season before (except in the case where a ride is taken out and replaced by a worse ride *Cough*Backlot Stunt Track* Cough*). Just be happy that we are getting something new, while other parks have been dying to get anything (See Michigan's Adventure) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Actually, here's my quote so y'all don't have to go looking for it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
sixohdieselrage Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Beast Gal, do you and your husband live under that railroad bridge by any chance? Sent from an Indestructible Phone 11 Quote
Shawn Meyer Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Crazy question here and I know it's not related to Project 2017, but does the Timber wolf theater ever get used anymore? If not, what if they were removing that, moving Congo/Amazon Falls to rivertown and building the new proposed Giga in that space? I'm just talking hypothetical here. 6 Quote
sixohdieselrage Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 ^ I could see that happening. But I think Music In The Park happens there. Actually, I don't think, I know. Sent from an Indestructible Phone 2 Quote
InvertiJack Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 That's actually a really good theory. Get all the water rides in one area, and also give Action Zone a much needed refresh. In fact, I think that seems very possible and even more likely than anything anyone else has suggested. Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk 6 Quote
stashua123 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I think Timberwolf is only used for Spirit Song in Late June/Early July. I think Music in the Park is in a different place I believe. Might be right, might be wrong. 6 Quote
sixohdieselrage Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Maybe. I just remember seeing a sign saying "***** in the Park" while on DT, so i assumed that was Music. Sent from an Indestructible Phone Quote
jcgoble3 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Posted June 8, 2016 IIRC from last year, I believe the Music in the Parks award ceremony is held in Timberwolf. 3 Quote
BB1 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Plot twist: what if an antique car attraction comes in with a covered bridge? It would make sense with the area and land distribution. 7 Quote
Bradenwhite Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Is a new haunt a possibility in that area? I know I sound crazy but you never know? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
bm0324 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 We have to think...what type of attractions would the park tease a year in advance? There's really only one I can think of. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk 2 Quote
homestar92 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 ^ A HUSS Giant Top Spin? "An exciting new adventure is coming in 2002" 12 Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Or: "Drop This Far In..." Of course, that one ended up not happening there (Flight Commander pad) at all and not anywhere in the park for years. 7 Quote
Banshcheese Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 First post long time lurker since Banshee decoding. My thoughts are as follows. I don't think they would put another major roller coaster in Rivertown. Plus I think we would have seen footers to indicate a coaster by now. One thing I think everyone is overlooking is the new entrance/exit to WWC. I think this will also serve as the exit line of our new ride. Looking back Matt Ouimet has mentioned in several articles about new dark rides in all the parks. My conclusion is that whatever new ride were getting might likely be contained or integrated into that huge box next to that brand new exit/entrance que line. There are so many possibilities with that building. 4 Quote
DiamondBanshee Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Something I think many people overlook (not trying to call you out Banshcheese, just brought on by your comment) is that we already have a dark ride, albeit small, slightly broken, and boring. I know Kings Dominion has a similar ride and are expected to get a Dark Tide this year, but that begs the question, would Cedar Fair install 2 dark rides in the same year. Also, who would be getting the "major attraction/Roller coaster" for this year? I feel like all this complied brings a sort of certainty that Kings Island will be getting that, but many questions still remain unanswered, such as will it be a coaster or a thrill ride? And if it is a coaster, what type? We'll all find out soon enough (hopefully)! Sorry for this long tangent. Back to your regularly scheduled programming folks!

Banshcheese Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I just don't see any evidence pointing to a coaster. There's markings and stakes but no signs of footers and it seems like the clearing has really slowed down. 1 Quote
SingleRiderAfter1 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I just don't see any evidence pointing to a coaster. There's markings and stakes but no signs of footers and it seems like the clearing has really slowed down.There are markers from the river town train station to the reservoir and can be seen on wwc. And depending on the size, type, and manufacturer we could be on schedule. So there is good reason, but very few know for sure.I also would love so see something in the box but I don't think it's next year Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk 3 Quote
thatbandguy8807 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 As much as I want a giga coaster, I don't think that it makes sense to build it right across from Diamondback.

Oldschool75 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 So a little birdy on my shoulder whispered that the Centurion name is for the wing rider going in at the front gate at KD. Don't know if it's true or not. Yes, I know Mr. Ouimet said he would not put front gate coasters in at KI or KD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote
Cdeq Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I just read that Mean Streak, will be getting a RMC make over I am taking this as a step of Cedar Fair RMC in the future. 2 Quote
