thoe124 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Ope, there's new coaster speculation. Yall know what that means! ((thoe124 has returned to the discussion)) Maybe this time i'll stick around after they announce it Anyway, I made a quick NL2 rendering of this thing based on what track pieces we currently have. All the current pieces ^ Side view of pieces + what they will likely build ^ 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be the first time CF changed plans, Yukon Striker was purchased in 2015 to open in 2016 and CF at the last minute delayed the project and built Valravn. Perhaps It happened again for KI or another park, it happens. As for the track on site, there's no evidence that the non-painted track is headed for KI, so until track shows up on site or there's evidence, I wouldn't put my hopes up for a giga. And maybe it'll be a different manufacturer and B&M will be there to upgrade current rides made by them. i dont get how people can still think its not a giga at this point. also if any other manufacture was building in 2020 it would have been filed with the city. B&M is our manufacture and there is giga track at the plant as well a MASSIVE clearing at KI. i understand keeping your hopes in check but really there is not much speculating to do if you ask me. we are getting a giga for 2020. the real question is what the theme/color will be and maybe some layout predictions. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be hard to tell. As of now, planning on going down tomorrow evening. If we do, I'll definitely try to get some new pics. Hoping for more clearing. I'd love to see 8150' track length.

I'm 99% convinced. Kings Island has never been super heavy handed about removing trees for their coasters. Assuming the manufacturer is B&M based off the legal docs... The area cleared as of right now is too wide for a wing, and too long for a dive. Unless its something totally new B&M is doing or plans have changed, I can't see anything else. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 @Magenta Lizard...I still think the cactus and Mother in Law's Tounge that was planted in Tower Gardens, along with the barrel and chair could be a subtle hint, and maybe even perhaps the Wizard of Oz characters at Haunt was too. I enjoy the Bonifeld Barrel Co teasers across the chain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great observation. I am not sure if that is anything more than a tribute to the ride that once sat in that spot, but I do like Zodiac as the name. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Be careful, the weather is kinda nasty down here (I live just a few minutes from the park). But, it should clear up this afternoon. I actually plan on coming up this evening for my first visit this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocoasterfan Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I think probably the best spot to see if there is additional clearing would be WindSeeker, Vortex lift hill, and riding Beast. No photos while riding! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One item of note, as I was almost to the car a 1.5 or 2 ton dump truck went by with a bunch of the trees and stumps from what I would suspect is the clearing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they are cleaning it up for surveying stage. They may be clearing out more down the hill that's hard to see from ET. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
