DiamondBanshee Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 no, CP didn't trademark the names for Maverick's trains. I am just wondering why they trademarked 2 names. Unless the theory of FoF getting a name change happens. Or they don't use both and just use 1 of them. Or there could be multiple rides (giga and flat) which is unlikely. I think the most likely possibility is that they are the names for our giga and another ride at a separate park.

Maverick44 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You don't think they would "update" FoF and re theme it? I hope not I love watching that old video haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatguyfromohio Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 They are known to always trademark 2 names till they fully decide on a name. There’s an interview with CF when they were making GateKeeper (where do coasters come from)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I would just like to point out that since this thread already figured out what the 2020 project is, that by definition, conversations are going to be off subject, so this mobius loop of people going off topic and mods trying to get people back 'on-topic' (which is now impossible) is going to continue until the announcement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Things left to decode: Name Trains Theming Station Literally everything else that wasn't mentioned has already been decoded. We should try and stick to the four main topics I listed above. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Trains? Really? 3 trains, 8 or 9 cars per train, 4 across. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some variance is fine, but 3 pages worth of talking about "what comes next" needed pulled out. It is now in the link below.

Its your choice either be nice and play well with others or go on another thread. No one is making you come to this thread just to be a Debbie Downer. Relax man we are all here to have a good time.

Mystic1017 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 How about they haven't trademarked the name for this coaster yet and both of those names are for rides at different parks??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I hope so ^^ I just want to know already! There are 3 times of the year that I just love. Announcement season, Free agency ( July!) in NHL and the trade deadline in the NHL as well haha Not trying to get off topic. I am just excited to get the stats and the NAME! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUN&ONLY! Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I really want to see how they can spruce up the area with this new coaster. Even if they aren’t doing a full-blown X-Base expansion, I am positive Cedar Fair will still want to pretty up the most forgotten area at Kings Island. Also, because many people think that the area will be rethemed and because the Flight of Fear locker area is to be reworked with the addition of the old Firehawk queue line, do you think they will paint and try to spruce up the Flight of Fear building? I, personally think that it could really use a little face lift! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Yeah people on here need to take a chill pill and not be so rude and stuck up. It gives off a bad vibe on the site. Just food for thought, no one thinks you are better than any one else if you come off stuck up and a know it all. That seems to happen quite often on this thread and I'm sure it turns a lot of people off (including me). Just be nice and if you don't like what you see just don't click on this thread. Literally everything in life is more important than this thread and site . No offense to anyone just take a breather The whole purpose of this site is to connect people with similar interest; let's continue to do that positively! 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back at previous Kings Island new ride announcements while being owned by Cedar Fair, I am betting on the new ride being announced on a Thursday either in late July or in early August. Mystic Timbers was announced at the end of July and Banshee was announced at the beginning of August. Also, it seems like almost all of Kings Island’s recent ride announcement have been on Thursdays. Banshee, Mystic Timbers, and even the Antique Cars were announced on Thursdays, from what I have looked up! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The suspense is killing me haha no not really but still I wish they would just come out and tell us what day we will learn about what is being done! Just give us the announcement date! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I hope the announcement is after 10 pm. Banshee and Mystics was and I think that helped them use the whole day to hype up the announcement and let people spend the whole day there and end the day with an exciting announcement! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I hope so too^. I would love to try and be there for the announcement but i'll have to work till 7. I live in Columbus so it may be hard.

But, you said the same thing twice in what, like an hour? See the copy and paste: "I would just like to point out that since this thread already figured out what the 2020 project is, that by definition, conversations are going to be off subject, so this mobius loop of people going off topic and mods trying to get people back 'on-topic' (which is now impossible) is going to continue until the announcement."Like the Grand Carnivale threads, there is no real reason to have many different threads about the same subject. It sounds like your time to shine will be after the announcement, when the construction thread will be unlocked.

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I can't wait to follow the construction process for this thing! I believe by Haunt the lift will be up. I believe at haunt 2013, Banshee had it's lift, drop, and first dive loop completed! I hope by Haunt we have the lift and drop done so we can get an idea what the skyline will look like! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Also Winterfest as well! A lot of the coaster may be in place!! I am also hoping for a webcam so I can watch it all day at work lol CP had the best when Valravn was being built. MT was ok I would of liked a different view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUN&ONLY! Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I also hope they don’t announce the coaster before they play the announcement video. The crowds at previous Kings Island announcements have gone crazy when the video shows the new coaster. Carowinds announced Copperhead Strike right before they played the video, and I was kind of disappointed. The hype gets insane when Kings Island plays the announcement video! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSBMX Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 WGT's 10th update just went live. Video shows the drilling machine still parked, and zooms in on the drop backbone piers, which have rebar sticking out. These two piers are the furthest per the blueprints, so I'll say all piers are complete for the brake, station, lift, and drop. Video also comments on some footings for the end of the ride (like the helix), but that is not accurate. All footings/piers so far are per the original set of blueprints, which does not cover anything outside of the brakes/station/lift/drop. I suspect another set of blueprints/plans will need to be submitted prior to any vertical construction. The existing blueprints do not cover anything vertical. Anyone in the Mason area up for stopping by and checking for any new blueprints/plans? I find them fascinating from an engineering standpoint. Large footings for the turnaround are being worked on right now. Station's look nearly compete. Last to finish will be the upper portion of the lift and drop. http://www.wildgravitytravels.com/kings-island-2020-update-10/ 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
