DiamondBanshee Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I think the picture of the "major key" that showed the splashdown could hint a dive coaster. Griffon at BGW has a splashdown and has a 200ft+ drop like DB as seen in the picture Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I don't think Cedar Fair would do that with Valravn just opening. I feel like they'd rather have their newest, biggest dive coaster to draw people in CP instead of building a newer one just to the south of it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Major Key DJ Khaled This thread is starting to move in circles "Khaled" backwards, sounds similar to "Dalek" so clearly, these tweets must mean that we're getting a Doctor Who ride. Hypothesis confirmed! (sarcasm, lest anyone without a sense of humor think I have insider knowledge... I've seen people take more absurd things as fact) I really hope you did not just vandalize Wikipedia to get that. If all you need are screenshots, you can use your browser's developer console to vandalize your locally cached version of ANY web page even if it isn't normally editable, so there's that too. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were say under Kinzel, I could definitely believe that, but Cedar Fair has been shown to be unafraid to break Cedar Point records, Fury 325 ring a bell? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 ^Yes, but how much time was between Fury 325 and I305 (3 years?). I agree they would do that, but only if the parks were further apart. Giga or wing coaster seem like the best choices as the last wing for a Cedar Fair park was GK, and the last giga was Fury. Since Fury, however, is a much farther distance from KI, a giga, albeit only 2 years since the last one, would be likely.

bm0324 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Fury and I305 are also 2 incredibly different experiences, despite both being gigas. They really have nothing in common apart from both being 300+ ft tall and going 90+ mph. Edit: we also don't know if Holiday World paid for exclusivity with Thunderbird. So a wing *may* be out of the question. If they bought it, it was probably with their Pilgrim's Plunge credits.

IBEW_Sparky Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Using a credit... that may or may not exist.... from INTAMIN, to pay for exclusivity on a roller coaster from B&M. Huh, learn something new every day here. 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really have nothing in common apart from both being 300+ ft tall and going 90+ mph. That doesn't mean the giga KI could potentially be the exact same. I've heard Leviathon and Fury are two completely different experiences, even though they are both B&M. On a side note, I've never been on a dive coaster, but from what I've heard, they are all very similar experiences, even though they have different t layouts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was actually my first thought, and would be my approach to doing something like that. I didn't even think of using Wikipedia's preview function until he (indirectly) mentioned it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really have nothing in common apart from both being 300+ ft tall and going 90+ mph. I liked both Fury 325 and Intimidator 305. Fury 325 overall is the better coaster in my opinion. Intimidator 305, hands down, the most intense I've ridden. I didn't grey out on Fury 325. Rode I-305 six times back to back when I was at Kings Dominion in 2014. It took until lap # 6 for me not to grey out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Gal Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Why was fury 325 better in your oppinion if I 305 was the most intense coaster you have ridden? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The different elements and overall layout on Fury 325 are better in my opinion. The first drop on Fury 325 is pretty amazing, one of my favorites. The drop on Intimidator 305 is amazing. It's steeper than Fury 325. The airtime hill that goes under the lift hill is amazing. Each one provides a unique experience, however Fury 325 is more interactive with the guest experience. The theming is better as well, I think. It's difficult for me to pick favorites, it's definitely a close one between the two. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I305 is fast and very forceful, but it's short and pretty lacking in airtime. Fury is more diverse, has great airtime and just a more well rounded coaster.

MIcoasterguy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have not ridden Fury but I have ridden I305, Leviathan and Millennium Force, along with Diamondback, Intimidator, and Behemoth, and each coaster is different, and provides,different G forces, I305 was quite forceful compared to the B&M coasters which focus on airtime but the B&M Giga's showcase speed and give an overall different experience during the ride 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Wouldn't hurt my feelings if there were no top spins...... Blasphemy! HUSS makes/made iconic attractions and every time one goes down is a huge loss. I'm still mourning the loss of all the HUSS Rainbows.

KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Fury 325 may be the best ride I've ever experienced. the first drop feels like its never ending.

rhyano Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Honestly, I think a ride like Fury would be great, but I found it to be a bit overrated, its my #2, but the Cowboy Coaster is a little better to me 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMaverick Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 KI will have to put in something pretty darn amazing for me to remove "The Cowboy Coaster" as my all time favorite Coaster. I don't see that happening but you never know. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Fury has a chain where Millie and I305 have the faster cable lifts, and I like that it crawls over the top and takes longer to fall than the Intamins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
