Did someone say bad songs from the 80s? I leave you with this.

 

[King Ding Dong]

Actually the criteria was “hit” and that never broke the Billboard top 100.   However upon reflection I concede there are worse hits than maneater and this #3 comes to mind.

I think we have successfully derailed this thread farther than it has ever gone.   Just maybe Brad might be willing to award us some of those coveted “warning points” in the profiles.  

Back on topic:  What are some of the Worst names and station music KI could use on our Giga?

I posit the above.  

[Maverick44]

^^ Haha That is great.

What is it with the 10 hour videos lol LAst was spongebob. lol

[King Ding Dong]

I think I have seen @silver2005 making the same moves waiting in a coaster que.  

[Maverick44]

I couldn't imaging waiting in line for a coaster for 10 hours haha 4 hours was the most I have waited - TTD in 2003.

Ah.

Depending on your definition of a hit, there's always "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls (#48 in 1982).

[silver2005]

For your information, I would be playing this while waiting in the queue.

 

[King Ding Dong]

Lol.  That was one of my Dads favorite albums.  

[Maverick44]

So how about that giga? lol

[sixohdieselrage]

Mystic Gigas

Going higher into the unknown. 

[Maverick44]

The next hastag would be .... #WhatsintheBIGGERshed? 

[JudeHoward]

"Mystic Force, the 399ft tall RMC giga with 4 inversions and a 4 minute ride time." Some people just crack me up with this crap.

[Maverick44]

Don't forget that half of the ride if a full wood coaster that goes into a full steel coaster the 2nd half.

[sixohdieselrage]

And it transitions from a giga to a dive coaster. LOL

[Codyfryguy]

And when it transitions into the steel section it stops and has a launch

Don't forget the drop track and backwards launch in the giga shed.

[Codyfryguy]

Inverting chain lift?

Not to mention the disney-level themed dark ride section.

[King Ding Dong]

And no seatbelts!   (Or is that just to unrealistic?)

[sixohdieselrage]

Hopes and dreams hold you in....

Oh guys!!! We almost forgot the part that turns into " Time Traveler" @ Silver Dollar City. The cars spinning at 25 mph going down the giga hill at 98mph haha.

[Hawaiian Coasters 325]

Or how about the part that goes underwater into the coral reef?

[Maverick44]

We have one at KI???? Or is that new too? haha

Steel is unlikely to get cheaper anytime soon as well.   

True, but when the design of this possible giga is finalized, steel is usually bought immediately after. This is usually 2-3 years before construction begins. So, if we are getting a giga in 19 or 20, i would bet they have the steel already purchased at the price of the time of purchase.

[Hawaiian Coasters 325]

So what does everyone think will happen in 2019? As time goes on, I'm the giga is less and less likely looking to be 2019. I don't see much action on the ki webcams except for maintenance people getting stuff ready for opening. I did see a wooden fence behind potato works right by the WWC pathway. At first, I thought, maybe that's why giga was written there, but then I told myself"that fence has always been there." I don't know. Some employees I know are going to Kings Island tonight for employee training and one of them is going to see if there is anything happening at the old DA area. So we'll find out eventually, but I recommend you guys not to get your hopes up for a giga next year or there may be a huge disappointment coming your way. So what are you guys 2019 predictions?

[JubJester]

I hope if we have a Giga it has black seats, so there will a load of Facebook comments and tweets about how it will be "too hot". Despite people covering them and moving at high speeds.
