benny1388 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 ^"Claims that an employee told them it's Winterfest" Could be true, could be not true. Could be an ill informed employee. It's sad, kinda, that when people make those claims they often can't cite a source because they'd out a friend and get laughed at for not citing a source. They're better off just not saying anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Did we confirm which Cedar Fair parks are having an announcement along with KI's tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WailsLikeABanshee Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 ^From what I've seen, Carowinds and World's of Fun around 11, like Kings Island, and Cedar Point at 10. Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk Edit: Apparently Dorney is also announcing something tomorrow, and Kings Dominion will be announcing something on the 20th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki95 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Since a few other Cedar Fair parks are making announcements tomorrow, I believe we will be getting something similar or exactly the same. Here's what I think it may be: Plant Snoopy expansion (KD has hinted a few pictures on their social media accounts of Snoopy "snooping" around) New 4D attraction and/or dark ride (highly speculated) Winterfest Removal of WindSeeker for a new attraction (like Skyhawk at Canada's Wonderland) OR we could be getting something completely different than those parks: Some X-Base attention (maybe we're finally getting that bathroom we've been waiting for ) Festhaus update Flat ride(s) in the back of Action Zone by The Bat with a connecting trail to X-Base Updates to International Street/front of park 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGee Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Just wondering if Mystic Timbers is the biggest single investment CF has planned for 2017 ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Possibly they might be making Rivertown similar to Ghost Town at Knott's Berry Farm? Not likely. But possible. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Goddard Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I have heard there will be a lot of renovations to Hotels this upcoming offseason which will take a lot of money from CF, so MT might be the biggest coaster investment this year. I think my personal guess is either general renovations like repainting Racer and helping FestHaus kind of like KD did with their anniversary OR a action theater ride.

DubVLegend Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Quick question I've looked around a little and not seeing an answer but does anyone know if this announcement will be streamed? Sent from Me using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 The announcement is regarding the 2017 season, wouldn't Winterfest primarily be for the end of the 2016 season? Sorry if this has already been brought up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoF96" Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 In the email I recieved today it also states that it is a new attraction, I don't think general park improvements such as a repaint or revitalization of anything pre existing counts as an attraction. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 No. This is what it said: Major Announcement Planned For This Thursday Last month, Kings Island announced it was building a new wooden roller coaster for 2017, Mystic Timbers. Park officials, in announcing the new ride, also stated there would be another announcement regarding another attraction planned for 2017 this summer. The much-anticipated second announcement will be made this Thursday (August 18) at 11 a.m. in the Festhaus. Guests visiting Kings Island are invited to attend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First they are stashed under the tarps, then we move the bodies through the "secret tunnels" and then they become part of the footers. Just like Jim my Hoffa?!?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Spell check messed up Jimmy! Would be awesome if the said that since all attention was on Rivertown, they were secretly starting a Giga coaster somewhere else in the park. Part of a diversion. Of course this wouldn't happen, too much investment for one year. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaestroJr Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Really hoping for a new dark ride or Boo Blasters really needs to be refurbished. It is starting to remind me of Phantom Theater in its later days when the animatronics sometimes didnt move correctly. If anyone has ridden Boo Blasters lately, youll know what I mean as Boocifer, last time I rode Boo Blasters, didnt play his organ at all and then he yelled at the end that we'd never leave Bleakstone Manor although he wasnt even moving his lips or moving at all really. We badly need either a new dark ride, or a refurbishment of Boo Blasters. I guess its good we have a dark ride though at all!

presto123 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Why no cryptic hints for this announcement? That leads me to believe this won't be as big a scale as Mystic Timbers.(obviously... haha) With 3 water rides, my wish of a huge log flume or boat ride isn't likely anyway:( 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
