Magenta Lizard Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Except that one on the barrel has been there for ages (at least 2014 when I started going to the park again), and the symbol has been in Mystic Timbers since it opened (elsewhere, in the pre-shed, and that box was added a little later last season)... Hardly "popping up". 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we may be wrong about that one, BUT, the ones in Mystic's station were not there for Winterfest last year. ~Josh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the one at The Beast has been there since at least the beginning of last season when I started returning to the park. The one at Mystic was for sure there at Winterfest, although I don't have proof. It may have even been there for Haunt or before. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Barrels have been there for awhile with the SOB symbols, usually added during the Haunt season mind you. The Mystic Timbers SOB symbols have been added during the opening season and latter parts of the season. I believe that CF has gotten the output they wanted from the coaster community. To create buzz on RMCesque words and symbols is probably driving some enthusiasts to these parks and to spend more time within. Not to mention the fact that people are starting to catch on that SOB nods have been all over. (Not alot of people even spoke about the wood popping up at Banshee mind you.) After watching several people try to make The Beast station into the CW dive station, and now this, I believe that CF has created a proverbial gold mine in a shared universe for this year's teasers. Remember too that these teasers could also be for 2020, as I wouldn't be surprised if we get some teasers for the big years coming up (20, & 21 respectively). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm telling you - the people who do the themeing love the throw backs as much as we do. These are easter eggs, not teasers. If they were intended to be teasers then they would be way, way more obvious. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2019 Carowinds teaser signs are on a construction wall in the middle of the park with clear activity going on behind. The same can be said of the Diamondback, Banshee, and Timbers sites. There's nothing about the symbols, posters, or signs people are discussing that scream "teaser". It's all just well-designed environmental signage. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaestroJr Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 That barrel in The Beast queue happens to be the same barrel that was in Phantom Theater if I recall correctly. I started seeing it a few years ago and noticed it was the same "Flash Powder" barrel from Phantom. Also they had Son of Beast ride parts in a casket a few haunts ago with the outpost 5 logo on it. I always like to look at the outpost 5 logo on The Son of Beast station while going up the Adventure Express lift hill as it's easy to see although harder now with Banshee then it was in 2013 when the land was empty. Here are pictures that I took of both a few years ago. MaestroJr 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 In addition to the SOB Logo and stuff popping up around there, in the Mystic Timbers station, if you look above the ride's exit there is a sign that says "Outpost 5" and another that says "Shipping and Receiving". So, uhh, Mystic Timbers is Outpost 5 now? It is a neat easter egg, which is pretty much all I can assume it is at this point, and it does pay homage to Son of Beast and Adventure Express. I like it. Also, at the Son of Beast eternal flame near Banshee, I dunno if I just noticed this on my visit yesterday or if it is actually new, but there is some broken wood that looks like wood coaster supports with flowers placed at the base of the tombstone, like something people would put on their deceased families graves IRL. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wood and flowers were from my friends, one works the ride and was out doing locks one day he found some old wood by SOB station, and put it there, and the flowers were from my friend. No teasers there, and yes the signs on Mystic is cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park Rob Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Easter Eggs, teasers, foreshadowing, call it what you will, we've got a crackpot, er...a crack team at WCPO talking about it now. https://www.wcpo.com/money/consumer/dont-waste-your-money/kings-island-teases-new-coaster-may-be-coming Also, just an observation from this past Tuesday, ride attendants, and I pluralize because more than one was heard saying it, personally, while they're giving their spiel as The Bat leaves the station, for you "to catch it while you can", and "catch it before its gone". I know that these people are following the rumors/leads/misdirections like the rest of us and why would a ride attendant have any knowledge that the ride may be leaving, or maybe they're being fed a script at this point? This all something to watch. Plus, it gives us something to talk about. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I was actually wondering the same thing about Chef Major (as he has a gravestone at the park), but to my knowledge, he’s still there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outpost 5 symbol has been used for years as well. This is not something new that is hinting of a SOB coaster. @MDMC01 Don has a grave too! The biggest hint SOB will not be returning in any form stares right at you when you enter the Banshee Queue. You can't miss it. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
