I was thinking now they'll make the announcement around noon. Or they could make it around 8. Maybe they close at 8:00 for a reason... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've announced they are building their tallest and fastest coaster. That's not "no announcement" And it's more than KI's "nothing to see here" stance on KIGA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i worked at Kings Island in 2013....i was the supervisor of ice scream zone and about a month before the announcement i was told they were building a ride and me and my counter part had to try and match the colors of Banshee too our ice cream so when they announced it everyone could get a Banshee swirl. It was fun but my god my hands were a blue and red for WEEKS! Take it with a grain of salt but that’s my story about when Banshee was built. I can’t think of any restaurants around that area though that would do something similar. But again just showing it’s a real possibility. I think this is a true announcement date but once again it could be a troll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocoasterfan Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Has anyone been to Mason to see if we have the complete prints? I would like to see BSBMX interpretations once we can get them. Even though we know most things about this coaster I still have no clue about the theme. All we know is possibly Orion or Polaris. Will it tie into Xbase? Will it be alien themed or spaced themed or something else? What is in the Quonset hut? Teasers would help. If the announcement is to be on 8/14 I think we will still get teasing toward the theme soon. Plenty of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see the full prints and have a knowledgeable member tell us what they are. I am enjoying the construction decoding about this coaster as I have already learned a lot.The theming and Quonset and other stuff I hope to interpret through teasers from the park.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theming and Quonset and other stuff I hope to interpret through teasers from the park. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk As much as I would love a space theme, I hoping for something different otherwise x-base will be too 'match-y' for lack of a better word, and everything would have to be space themed in that area in the future. I don't really like the Air Force/military theme, although I think that is likely if it's not space themed. I would personally love a mad scientist theme. In the hut could be bubbling beakers and fog machines, green lighting. Some kind of explosion or experiment gone wrong. Maybe it's the scientist that has been doing experiments on the aliens in FOF running this new lab... But realistically I think it's gonna be a space theme. Themeing is the main reason I'm hoping for teasers and I hope they don't waste the opportunity to give us some good ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what Mystic Timbers Fanboy preaches in the comments. Here's some examples: "Move Banshee to ValleyFair and put RMC Son of Beast there" "Invertigo or Flight of Fear should've left." "Outpost 5 should be reused." I'm wondering if this Quinton Parchment kid will someday join KICentral. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the lift hill will look steeper in the 2020 park map. Cedar Fair tends to exaggerate the coasters displayed on the map. Don't believe me? Look at Racer, Diamondback and Mystic Timbers and you'll see what I mean. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Something like how they advertised WindSeeker could be a nice way to advertise the giga coaster. Here is a picture of an advertisement for WindSeeker that was inside the front gate building. Taken from Coaster Bob 62 video from 2011. Full credit to him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhudsonjr Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 So what do you guys think about this rumored announcement date? It seems to fit the timeline of past announcements. Just curious if anyone has any major doubts, or strong opinions in favor. It could obviously be totally fake but I have a feeling it's not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
