themuska11 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I thought it was a pretty prominent S. More so than the 198 or whatever it is everyone else is seeing This may be a reach but I see a V there Starting at the bottom of the tree to the left count the dark branches going up on the right side of that tree the V is between 5 and 6 Where's Presto with all his fancy circling when you need him You can actually see the V and S in the first pic I posted. The letters appear to be the same size as well. Sent from the future while riding #KIProject2017 using Tapatalk I think I see a munchkin. But really, i don't think Kings Island would be hiding hints in the background of a promotion photo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavPenn Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 In case you are just tuning in... Our hero's have noticed hidden numbers planted within the background of the countdown on KI's website. Could this be a blatant clue?? Will our new coaster hit the hyper mark?? Will our hero's survive 6 more days???

presto123 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I thought I saw numbers, but even I admit it's more likely it's like one of those psychologists test where they hold up a picture and everybody sees something different or maybe what they want to see. haha I'm sure as heck wanting to see a 198 lift hill! More likely is a 98 lift hill.. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavPenn Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 We also have to take into consideration the fact that some people are color blind and might not even see it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineering Coasters Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Keep in mind guys that no other CF park has teased anything to the scale of Kings Island this summer. My money is on this attraction being the "Major Thrill Ride" addition in the chain. If that is the case, this could easily be in the range of a $20 million capital investment. $20.5 million was the cost to build Son of Beast for reference. Me personally, I believe it to be an RMC. Barrel rolls and "If you build it, they will come" were part of the teasers. This is, to me, not being advertised as anything average or small. I'm not discrediting GCI for not being fun, but a lot of you act as though the GP do not really know about RMC, but attendance is probably up in those parks because of how easy it is market an upside down wooden coaster. At this point in time, there is enough safety and capacity data for CF to warrant investing in one, so why not now? Like most of us are saying though, anything is fair game. So buckle your seat belts and put your lap bars down. This announcement is about to be just as thrilling as the ride being announced! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 If I'm not mistaken, GCI has a better safety and reliability record than RMC does. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 So has it been confirmed that KI is going to live stream the announcement? If they do, what are the chances their site crashes? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureExpress35 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I think $20M is a little high only 3 years after spending 24M on Banshee. Surely spending $8M on a GCI is much more responsible. That way you can spend big on a B&M giga in 2019-2020. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Even if this is a $8-10 million dollar investment I think KI gets their next big coaster in 2022. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 What? KI should be getting about 37 million of that 150 million capital investment pie. Shafted again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[images i am referencing to] there also seems to be another thing in white to the left of it hidden by branches also, the photo they are using is poorly photoshopped as branches just start and end out of no where. I wonder if this was because it may ahve been a rushed job, or just them being lazy. (see in spoiler) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Incidentally..... Doesn't this poster kind of look like a '50s horror movie poster? Now the clues... An axe .... A 50s style car....

So buckle your seat belts and put your lap bars down. This announcement is about to be just as thrilling as the ride being announced! Disagree.... Is it Carowinds or Kings Dominion that has phone numbers for you to call to get hints. Plus what teasing was more than others? Some tweets and signs? Posting pictures of travels on Twitter or Snapchat? Giving no things to News Agencies? That is not a lot. Not by a long shot. Sorry. Also if you did a man on the street and ask 10 random folks if they know what an RMC roller coaster is I would guess 9/10 people wouldn't know. If you ask 10 at KI you will probably get 7/10 who don't know. Attendance goes up at parks that add new things, especially coasters.... Ask random people at the park who built Vortex/Diamondback/Racer/Banshee/Beast and I'd wager a majority of the crowd (not enthusiasts) would all say Kings Island...

kissfan4 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Could someone please highlight the "198", I can't see it. Lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausty1983 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I also don't see the "198" I think you guys are really just seeing a false hint but I could be wrong. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I simply do not see any kind of hidden message, "198" or otherwise, in that image. I think y'all have been bitten a little too hard by the decoding bug. I don't see a single thing either......I am straining to make the numbers out but can't see em. If I'm not mistaken, GCI has a better safety and reliability record than RMC does. Safety? What? The only incident I can think of is The New Texas Giant where the woman unfortunately died due to operator error, not ride error. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Gal Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Lightning rod will eventually run. It's not like the structure is falling apart. RMC should call someone in to redo the launch. My husband says the launch is messing up cause there is wheels on the inside of the track which is causing interference with the limbs. He says that other launchers the train's wheels are on the outside of the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Now it's looking more like a 192 to me. Look right above the white numbers to right of white arrow. There are matching numbers that kind of look like they were done in ink. More likely...I'm just seeing numbers that aren't there. This is the last I'm going to bring up hidden numbers as more than likely there is nothing there. Move along...nothing to see here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 ^ Still not seeing it. At this point, with all due respect, I think you're getting delusional. There are simply no hidden numbers in the image. I suggest that you go to bed and look at it tomorrow after you've had a good night's sleep. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm probably only seeing it because the other poster put 198 in my head. No big deal. GavPenn was talking about a different 198, but this is the last I'm bringing it up because even I can't see KI staff going this far with clues. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
