Magenta Lizard Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 If something does start going on back there I bet Blue Racer and WindSeeker are going to get even more riders WindSeeker would give excellent views of anything going on in the former DA area 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 2018 ridership numbers 1. WindSeeker 2. Racer 3. Mt 4. Banshee 5. Beast Haha I can see it now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Impossible, at least if I go often. As soon as my pass scans WindSeeker goes down. In two seasons at KI we have never had the chance to ride it. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlondyRidesOn Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 4 hours ago, Hawaiian Coasters 325 said: Imo they should do live webcams for each area of the park. For example: a Rivertown cam, a Planet Snoopy cam, an Action Zone cam, and a Coney Mall cam. I also don't think we'd see a construction fence if the giga is in Dinosaur's Alive since Racer is in the way. In my opinion, I think we'd see the old Dino's entrance blocked off with some sort of sign and then throughout the season, we see some teaser posters popping up around Coney Mall like with Steel Vengeance where wanted posters started popping up around Frontiertown. I think this giga will be themed to Coney Mall since Cedar Fair seems to be adding coasters themed to certain areas of the park. Like for example, Mystic Timbers with Rivertown. If it's given a Coney Island theme to match the area, they could name it "Wildcat," named after the PTC woodie which operated at Coney from 1925 to 1964. Since it would be built in the woods, the Wildcat theme would go well with a prowling forest creature. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Good name. My only reservation is it reminds me of a little coaster that CP used to have and coasters like it. I Personally like "Drakon". Its not x based themed though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the park knew DA's demise when they added Field of Screams. I think they knew or at least saw the possibility of it leaving. Just based on how early they plan things. They can always put the queue of Field of Screams on the other side (where the exit is) facing The Racer. Plenty of room for a queue, and they can still run the exit there or on the side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 That may be possible. I just think they need to show X-Base some love. Its been since 2007 since that area got Firehawk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go out toward the little miami, turn down and run along side the river with ejector hills, then finish as a terrain twister in the DA space. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have credible sources that state that "it will" use that station? I really don't think it will to be honest. Also is this going to be the longest giga in the world because that distance is insane. I also agree that restrooms would be needed. Also with other food and drink options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fryoj Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 From a logistics standpoint, it makes little sense to put it in the SOB station or anywhere in Action Zone. You already have Banshee over there pulling crowds to the area. It makes more sense to put it in Coney somewhere, like the DA plot, to redistribute crowds that way. It puts more people around food and merch that doesn't get as much traffic currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
