Maverick44 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 How about the Intamin speculation thread? haha 2

MaxxForce Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I don't mean to be rude, but why is this thread still open?

Well that was wrong I've been reading though this old thread recently. Its interesting to see us speculate considering what we got in 2020 vs some of the outlandish theories we came up with 2

I saw not one bulldozer, tractor or shovel over there. All I saw was dirt from the old dino dig area. Sorry no giga construction over there. The funny thing is, around this time, there were surveys being done for this plot of land. Along with the markers that popped up a few weeks later. I never shared these to kic. Rereading this thread, there were a lot of clues pointing to something large being built. New drainage system, strengthening surrounding rides, markers, and survey stations. I must admit the ride they built there was the perfect ride for the park. 3

Out of all of the markers you have shared, you should have definitely shared these (these were a really good find on your part). The timing of these markers makes sense because the land surveying for Orion was likely done during the 2018 season. I have heard @KIghostguy mention that Kings Island usually starts planning a major new attraction two years before they plan to open it. For future large-scale projects, survey markers will likely also pop up about two years before a major new attraction is about to open. This doesn’t mean that all survey markers we see around the park will be for major projects, though. Some are likely just for basic infrastructure upgrades. But if we see markers on The Vortex plot of land in a few years, that could potentially be a good indication that something is in the planning phase and will likely be opening in two years. Until then, new markers around the park are likely not for a new major coaster. 1
gforce1994 Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 I know. I’m kind of kicking myself for not sharing them. I did share one of the survey stations. This along with the drainage runoff improvements by The Beast indicated that there was a large ride coming into the park. Similar steps were done for Fury and Yukon Striker.

Looks like if the construction may be altering the runoff ditch that runs by Firehawk. Opens a fresh new can of worms. Why would they want to be altering a runoff system that has worked perfectly for x number of years?
