@KIMerch teasing an announcement

[BoddaH1994]

The Kings Island Merchandise Dept Twitter @KIMerch tweeted that they were going to make some sort of announcement later today.

Just in time for Coasterstock?

This may be of interest to many of you.

[Kenban]

Random guess, the models from Coaster Dynamics have come in?

[Magenta Lizard]

It's about time, if that's it. If so, I know what I'm getting for my birthday!

[freaks76]

What kinda models we talkin about??

[diamonbackandbeastlover]

Probably some of these: http://www.coasterdynamix.com/collections/nano-coasters

[Hoeter]

Thinking that it's this.

They will more than likely be the Nanocoasters.

I had talked to CD on Sunday, and he had shipped Nanocoasters out to the park on Monday (5-16) So they're more than likely here, and should (I REALLY HOPE) Be available by tomorrow.

[Hoeter]

I was hoping to see the Nanocoasters at the park.

 

I did see that they are selling a Valravn one in the rides gift shop on Sunday for about $40.

 

I don't think I've ever seen them being sold at Kings Island.

[CoasterOhio]

He didn't make any Nanocoasters for KI until this year.

(All photos are straight from CoasterDynamix Facebook Page
He has currently made...

Banshee

 

Diamondback

 

 

The Beast

[CoasterOhio]

On sale now! at Kings Island (And soon on the KIMarketplace) from @KIMerch

[Maverick44]

Any word about the tweet?

[matt112986]

Where are they at?

[CoasterOhio]

More than likely at Trading Post, Banshee Store, and Emporium. (As well as the KI store at the front gate)

 

They're $30 per set. 

[LoraX]

They are located in the Peanuts Emporium.

I'll check Coaster Connection after Delirium.

[Hoeter]

I need all of them.

[matt112986]

Coaster Connection has all 3 of them.

[freaks76]

ehh.

 

Be cool if they really looked like coasters.

[CoasterOhio]

"Yes indeed! Get one at Emporium, Banshee Store, Coaster Connection, and Diamondback Store" - @KIMerch

[Existential]

I want a working model man.

* Buying everyone I can get for some reason.

[freaks76]

I don't know.

 

I may buy one just to aggravate the crap outta my wife.

 

The Banshee one might go real well with my 2,000,000 rider sign. 

[matt112986]

I didn't see them in the Banshee shop but Emporium and Coaster Connection had them prominently displayed.

[BlondyRidesOn]

I work in the Merchandise department. I thought to myself that I should get one of my own whenever I'm a guest.

[SpectralBeacon]

Oh man, after spending all that time working on a Beast model for graduation, i would love to have a model 

[Kenban]

I will likely buy the one for The Beast this weekend but I doubt I will pickup the other two.  

[matt112986]

I just opened mine up and none of them have the glossy black finish on either side like in the pictures. Is this a mistake or are you expected to paint the base?

 

Edit: my bro says it peels off. Doesn't look like it could though.

 

 

Here is a vid of Fury 325 for reference. Beast doesn't have any corners though.

I don't want people to waste $30 or how ever much Gold pass gets off on Merchandise...

 

Please be VERY carefully on how you bend the metal to form the ride. It could easily be messed up, and will be good to do it very slowly, no need to rush!

Gold and platinum pass members receive 10% off merchandise.

I can only agree with this, I've got 3 from Cedar Point, the metal snaps easy (on of the pegs where you put it into the base snapped off on one of mine). Also be careful when taking the pieces out of the sheet, you can cut yourself (I did that on my first one oops!)

[CoasterDirected]

Going to the park Tuesday now that I'm out of school, so much for saving the money from my job xD

(should I get Banshee or Beast? Only have enough for one)
