[SonODiamondback]

Just saying there are a lot of silly guesses making this thread read like a little kid's Christmas list.

If you don't like it then don't read it.

Oh so sorry we haven't been able to solve the whole thing to your satisfaction in four days. *rolls eyes*

Teasers will help, but we always are going to begin with wild speculation until the park gives us a little guidance.

[benny1388]

I am thinking both MT and the yet-to-be-announced attraction are both part of #KIProject2017 and we've already gotten teasers for it. 

[Supernova]

^Barrel-themed spinning teacups? That's the closest i can think of to a ride involving "rolling barrels", since that was the only clue that didn't line up with Mystic Timbers, if what you're saying is right.

[The Forsaken]

Another "capital expenditure" on the way...hmmm...has anybody looked around the park yet other than Rivertown? Even something as small -relatively- as MT started to drop construction clues months ago. A "capital expenditure" is the acquiring or maintaining of fixed assets...which could be justified as anything within the park. Maybe Rivertown will get a complete off season rehab complete with a GCI/Beast retracking.

I was mainly thinking about "roll out the barrels" one, but how does the "Yo Adrian" fit MT? Many thought that mean either Philadelphia Toboggan Coaster or RMC, neither are correct. Other than the image being taken in the woods, I don't see a connection (perhaps I'm reading too much into the text, I'll admit).

 

I'm honestly not recalling the others, except for the two with the trains...

 I'm not seeing how "field of dreams" tied into Mystic Timbers other than if you build it they will come. That feels more like a slogan for a record breaking coaster IMO.

[TombRaiderFTW]

"Field of dreams" was also used on KI's social media to tease Banshee's location. I think it's just one of the things that Don/the PR department uses to get people's attention.

[KI Fan75]

Is it at all possible that the "Yo Adrian" comment could be teasing something having to do with the "Rocky" entrance of "The Crypt" building?

Seems a bit far fetched, but it could be possible.

It should be about time we started seeing some of those European flats that Cedar Fair was looking around for. It would be a nice touch for the anniversary.

[FoolCrzy]

Roll out the Barrels...

 

It's a Donkey Kong themed attraction in the big tan box.

 

An animatronic Ape hurls barrels down a ramp and you have to avoid them.

[GavPenn]

Anyone else pick up on the fact that Kings Island currently has 14 coasters making MT the 15th coaster. Don stated that MT would be our 16th coaster. Unless they are counting both racers, we could see another coaster Announcement for 2017. If MT only costs 4-10 million we could see another coaster with their 15 million cap. I'm not exactly sure what their cap is but figuring this with recent years. I also find it odd that they didn't release the cost of MT and think it might be kept a secret until the second attraction is announced.

Surf dog is counted as a coaster. Cedar Point also counts Pipescream, so it helps boost the parks numbers.

Smh.. cheaters.

Everyone sees to have forgotten Don first cryptic message about Race for your Life Charlie Brown. Looks like they will be getting an updated log flume ride with animatronic Peanut characters along the route. That would be cool.

Maybe RFYLCB will become a part of RiverTown again.

I must have missed this "cryptic message" do you have the link by chance?

This is where I got my numbers. They classify surfdog as a "rocking tug" ride. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kings_Island_attractions

Maybe they counted Adventure Express?

Or they're still counting Son of Beast?

[Martinin3333]

What is ice cream with a "Sprill" ? Google doesn't turn up much that makes sense.

If I find anything I will post it, but it's most likely an archaic word that was used for "twist" or maybe it was the name of a defunct company that made cups or cones.

Could be a slang word that never caught on too.

It is a fancy name for sprinkles

[Kenban]

Kings Island does not count Surf Dog as a coaster. Instead they count The Racer as two seperate coasters.

[Logan Goddard]

Don has said that Racer is one coaster in this tweet. https://twitter.com/DonHelbig/status/759190940422668288

My assumption is count SOB.

[freaks76]

I'd think they would say AE is the forth.

I may be wrong, but they don't count hybrids in that way, I'm guessing.

Probably go by the support structure???

[Beast Gal]

Tubular rails on wood does not make a wooden coaster.

Adam House (the GCI designer) said that MT was the 5th wooden, not Don or Greg. So I think we should mark that statement as an unofficial count and leave it at that.

 

Officially, KI counts Racer as one and does count SurfDog as one.

[King Ding Dong]

Agreed but to most of the GP it does.

1st time I was at CP I thought Gemini was until I got closer to it, a mine train is more obvious.

[teenageninja]

There is a 0% chance they are adding two coasters in one year.
