Back to 2018, is this still a thing?

I feel they would have announced it by now if it was that.  

Def would of been announced already.

A quick conceptual sketch I did for a restaurant featuring some classic Coney design elements:

Looks boring to be honest.

No thanks.

I like how you designed it to look like The Racer entrance and queue house right over the sign. 

That is not a bad sketch!  The architect in me approves it!

Waking up to dust off my profile for just my third post since November. 

Kings Island in 2018- looking forward to the former Dodgem (& Cuddle Up) Building replacement... with a tasty Coney Island theme of the Soak City Smoke House.  Dinosaur's Alive, intriguing concept- stuck around a LOT longer than I thought it would.  Replacement for that, I'd love a well-themed X-Base expansion that gives an experience you'll come back for time and time again.  Hope that the proverbial "giga" isn't destined for that area.  It would just be a larger version of Diamondback- and thus move it towards obsolescence.  

Unique/Creative experience will trump a "thrill" every time and keep lines coming back.  

It won't happen, as I know it's a business and all that...but I'd love to see 2018 bring considerably less "bring a friend" days.  It creates such a packed park and really lessens the overall experience.  And a lot of times they pop up a few days prior...so if you've made plans to go a specific day and see that, you know you're in for a busy day. 

 

The first official news of what's new for 2018 has just been posted!  Looks like its official for Diamondback!

You beat me to it in this thread. Haha

Wow it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would!

For those of you who have slow phones.

These seats look hot

I really like the new seats.  Hopefully they hold up well.

I am sure these new seats will warm up nicely parked out in the July sun.  

You won't spot the dirtiness on them as easily once those start to collect eventually

May look clean, Will feel like your skin is melting to them!

 

EDIT - , Sorry I forgot to put a smiley face so you know I am joking haha

Most of the park's rides have black seats and feel fine. Beast. Mystic, etc.

I guess I'm not understanding where the "they're going to be too hot" idea is coming from. There are plenty of coasters with black seats. Unless a seat is empty, the trains aren't sitting in direct sunlight while in operation for very long.

Shocking to me that this ride has two trains at the same time.  

 

About the DB seats.  People are going to be sitting in them all day, when are they going to get  that hot?  Other rides have black seats, it's going to be ok.

Idk lol I was just running with it. I think DB gets more "sun" then the others. Idk?

One, actually. If you look at the loop on the left side of the picture, you can see the low-profile "cars" connecting the two passenger sections.

EDIT: What @jcgoble3 said.

I'm not sure if anybody had seen the news that Dorney will have an all season locker rental add on.  I wonder if this will be something that comes chain wide.  More lockers would help with capacity if rides like DB did not have storage bins.

I'd like that a lot ^^ When I want to do water park in the same day and regular park. That would be great!

It's going to be tested at Dorney to see if it will be something that can roll out at all parks.

I'm not going to lie, I was kind of shocked to see the  price tag as $100

 

Whoa. I may rethink that if it will coast that much!

$100 seems reasonable to me especially if it includes the water park and even better if it has platinum pass benefits.  Zoombezi Bay charges $69 for an all season locker rental.   Might not be worth it for singles, but if you have kids especially little ones with all the accessories they require.
