KI FANATIC 37 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Sadly I looked at that photo for 30 seconds trying to figure out where the track is. 3

I know it's a stretch, but I could see this area being used in the future. It would require relocating the picnic grove. An upside to this is you would get great views of the coaster from the train and the walkway to Soak City. A zero g stall over the train tracks would be kinda cool imo. I know this is unlikely, but this is an area that caught my attention. Plus it could be another rivertown expansion. The way they could do it is have the entrance in between the log flume and FAAC. I could also see them retheming the log flume back into rivertown since imo it doesn't belong in Planet Snoopy. Plus they could make it hidden like The Beast. That building in the center of your circle is Carpentry, sign shop and training center as well as the boneyard. I highly doubt they will relocate all of that to accommodate a new ride when there is plenty of available land elsewhere 5

Maverick44 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 That looks to be the shell for a shelter / storage space like the pictures just way bigger. Maybe the que line will be under this huge shelter / tent. Could be used for a haunt? I really think its for something like those pics. You can see they have a support in place. 1

It could be a haunt building that might tie into the a space theme. Also, and this is a stretch, this could be used as a temporary queue similar to Banshee just for opening weekend as well as a haunt building for later 4
Maverick44 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 That is what I am thinking as well. It really seems to fit into that air craft hanger. You could hold concerts under them if it’s big enough. There used to be one in Cleveland. 3
thatguyfromohio Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Just got to Carowinds, makes me want a giga for us more Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 15 1
Snowball Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I’m at the park. Anyone want pictures of anything while I’m here? What of? 5

Lot's of room behind the facility. also high possibility is that the grey primed pieces we saw were taken inside to be painted and held inside until theyre ready for that stuff to seen, also possibily hiding in the back 3
Maverick44 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 More likely in the back. I don’t think they can store that much giga track inside. We need a overhead shot lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4

Soon as that is done and wx cooperates, I'm sure we will go up. I do plan to see if we can fly over CSF, as well as KI. I do, however, want to fly over Dayton to see some of the storm damage from a couple days ago. 13 2

A lot of brown track outside You can see the ST9 piece is still outside and is still gray. 7 hours ago, Hawaiian Coasters 325 said: My guess is 2024 will be our next coaster, but I've been wrong before. My guess is an RMC or a Mack double launch. But I could see us getting more B&Ms since the plant is only a few miles away. Shipping isn't exactly the biggest cost of a coaster. 4 hours ago, Maverick44 said: Yet other MAJOR parks are adding their coasters lol Also don't be shocked if Premier makes a come back to CF parks. With the SeaWorld coaster.....seems like it will be pretty darn cool. Yeah, and already they've had to stop testing Hagrid before it's even opened for an issue that no one seems to want to talk about. Rumors of it being too intense and prematurely wearing out wheels or axles are floating. This will be Universal's first dose of a true Intamin coaster. Hopefully they don't regret it. 4 hours ago, Maverick44 said: I feel like if it was a 2020 coaster from B&M we should see track being made already or very soon? They already are being made. The MCT track that we've been talking about for weeks on here. 8

I say they can find a way to work around it. 1
beastmaster Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Food for thought. What about a BM retrack of Vortex. Same layout just smoother. What about a RMC conversion of Adventure Express? 2

What about a RMC conversion of Adventure Express? As much as I love the idea, I don’t how well that would really translate over. The existing support structure probably wouldn’t be able to be used for B&M’s track, and the overall design is just simply different. They’d basically have to build the ride from the ground up, and at that point you might as well spend the money on a new coaster and not rebuilding a smoother copy of something that is already there. However Vortex still runs well, and devours people, and I see no reason that it will be replaced in the near future barring anything major breaking on the ride. 8
beastmaster Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 I agree. It would have to be from the ground up. Those supports couldn’t support a modern track. But let’s be honest it’s a classic design and current Vortex is rough. I’d like a modern take on that ride. As for RMC racer and beast will never get changed. So with said I think Adventure Express could be a coaster that’s revamped and expanded. I know it’s a beginner fav and classic mine train but think of he fun and it would’ve be a ground up coaster. just my 2 cents on a decoding thread. Super excited for the giga. Those upset need to get a life. Polaris will rock 6
DustinTheNow Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Kings Island Giga No Limits 3D Model Update! I’ve completed the POV, and cinematic off-ride video and Amusement Insiders will post it in the next day or so! I really hope you enjoy the product of almost a month of work! I know, I know, this anticipated POV, video can’t come soon enough but to wet your appetite further, here is the Giga Prediction from no limits photoshopped on the land clearing! Enjoy! 31
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Wow. I love those colors. I think that is going to look better than the real thing 7
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 So the drop isn't bigger than the height? It doesn't look like it drops down the trench. 6
