matthew0813 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I was thinking, the chances that ki would receive an RMC is a good possibility in the future considering all the other RMCs Cedar Fair has gotten. But, I was wondering, if you had the choice between a hybrid or an Intamin Blitz, which would you pick? (Cedar Point will have two literally next to each other next year so we can have a better opinion next year.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex lover Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Sheer Intensity- Definitely a Blitz but overall ride experience I would go with RMC hands down 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 RMC as they are generally more reliable. Now if it were a MACK vs RMC, my opinion would change 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondyRidesOn Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 RMC, but a ground up topper track woodie, as I don't think any of our current woodies deserve or need the treatment; Woodstock Express is too small, The Beast is too legendary, The Racer is responsible for the coaster building boom and has too much history, and Mystic Timbers was just built. A topper track coaster would round out the wooden line up more and fill in the category of wooden coaster that was left when Son of Beast closed, or at least when it lost the vertical loop in 2007. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyano Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Intamin blitz, RMCs are fun, but I feel like there are too many being built for me to be really excited. I'm weird like that, Steel Vengeance looks great though, can't wait to ride it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legofan237 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I agree with KIC Enthusiast. I think Kings Island's woodies are perfectly fine. The closest thing that could get a RMC treatment would probably be Racer, but I highly doubt that will happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 This is a tough one for me. I like them both. My favorite ride is Maverick so, my first choice is the Intamin Blitz. I would love to see an RMC, but one from scratch not a rebuild. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest thing that could get a RMC treatment would probably be Racer, but I highly doubt that will happen. I think that if Kings Island were to RMC The Beast it could quite easily be the best ride in the park. Right now I have to ride it closer to the front because too far to the back of the train kills my back and my arms. Mind you I’m only 16 and that shouldn’t be an issue in the first place. But if RMC were to refurbish The Beast (which I don’t doubt they will do eventually considering what happened to mean streak) it would be simply amazing.

BlondyRidesOn Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I would much rather see the Ghostrider treatment from GCI for The Racer than a hybrid conversion. Or they could wait about twenty years for Mystic to get rough then give that the treatment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeBond Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'd like to see a Mack Multi-Launch personally. I don't think we'll see a Intiman Blitz anytime soon. Mack and RMC seem to be 2 of the hottest manufacturers right now. I'd love to see KI invest into a large scale Mack coaster. Now if we got an RMC I would want it to be a ground up topper track coaster. If we were to get a conversion I think Racer would be the best option. But I also don't see that happening because of what Racer has done for the industry. I don't think The Beast has the layout for an RMC. It would be hard to RMC long straight away's. I think The Beast is fine the way it is. Mystic Timbers won't be touched because it's new and an amazing ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky21 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 What if there was a possibility of a raptor track giga? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew0813 Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 What if there was a possibility of a raptor track giga? Well, we’re basically certain ki will get a giga, no debate because every there Cedar Fair park has one except ki, and RMC raptor/trex coasters won’t ki for a while I’d think because ki tends to be late to the party when it comes to new kinds of coasters. But there is a possibility for that...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Not every Cedar Fair park has a Giga there buddy.....most of the major parks do....but Knotts and KI don't. I don't want to say that KI is late to the party when it comes to new kinds of coasters....the park is more conscious for who visits the park and the business needs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant to add “significant” Cedar Fair parks. In a rush while typing that. My mistake. And that’s true, just that ki hasn’t exactly adopted newer coaster designs yet. You get what I’m saying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 If Kings Island ever retired Vortex like that long rumor that's been tossed about for years, I think an Intamin blitz would be perfect in that spot. However, If they wanted to put it somewhere else, Kings Island has plenty of land to play with to squeeze one in. Cedar Fair/Kings Island need a second park with a blitz coaster like Maverick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
