CoasterMegRN Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 And the brake shed takes, what 10-15 seconds of the whole ride? The rest of the ride will still feel secluded. I'm not too worried 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 ^ Its going to be a quieter B&M like Banshee and Diamondback and riding on Beast is pretty racketey in terms of noise on its own. Does anyone else remember the time Diamondback had a loud roar (along the lines of Kumba and Raptor)? I may be the only one.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 How loud are Leviathan and Fury 325? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Fury is relatively quiet. I’ll get the chance to experience Leviathan Labor Day weekend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoutdoorkid107 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I’m not 100% sure that noise will be much of an issue with this ride. It will be tucked in the back corner of the park, the only issue would be its close proximity to Racer and WindSeeker and I believe that racer is a pretty loud ride compared to a B&M Giga. I agree with you @Zayzayd13 Fury is Very quiet for a coaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I also notice when I'm riding Mystic Timbers, I barely register Diamondback is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I love it when I am climbing the hill on Mystic Timbers and I see a Diamondback train gracefully pass over the 2nd hill. FURY 325 has a magnificent sound. It's like a muffled roar over the front entrance, almost like a "swoosh." Sounds very futuristic to me. I wasn't really into roller coasters when Diamondback debuted, but I remember seeing a video of some test runs when KIC had an event before it opened. It definitely was much louder then--kind of wish it still was. I love a good roar on a coaster. Mystic Timbers has a great roar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'd be better to not have it parallel to the 2nd tallest coaster in the park; Parallel to Banshee? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’d actually ride it more than once/zero times per visit if they did that. I realize it will likely never happen but can you imagine barrel rolling through the woods instead of the wooden monorail we have currently? Hoo boy.

Oldschool75 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 If this indeed is a giga (and I’m 99.999% sure that it is), what are us poor, Kings Island fanatics going to beg for next? Once it’s here, it’s here.

There are several B&M Coasters that have the tracks filled with sand in the hollow track pieces due to noise. I have heard that GateKeeper is has portions filled with sand as well, but I do not know if that is true or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One coaster that has a good “roar” is Raptor at CP. it’s iconic to the midway. I personally think Rougarou is overwhelmingly loud though. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the most exciting things to hear at KI as a kid were the screams from Drop Zone and the Face/Off roar. Also, I kind of miss that noisy lift chain from Firehawk. It had that "click click" charm of a chain lift that could be heard throughout the Coney Mall. We could hear it over The Racer when I worked at the Skyline and Subway in the Coney Mall. Also, the Firehawk roar was pretty awesome too! Sorry nostalgia set in! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver2005 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Great Bear's got a really good roar, not only just it being loud, but because its in a valley, it echos a bit as well. All the NJFTP B&M's got solid roars as well. The quietest B&M's have to be at Dorney. Talon and Hydra are almost too quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think Rougarou is overwhelmingly loud though. I disagree! I think Raptor is too loud (specifically, the cobra roll area near Valravn) and this disturbs its neighbors*. On the other hand, Rougarou’s roar is great as it ties in with the theme of a beast on the bayou. *I also think Diamondback is annoyingly loud, specifically the drop while walking by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 What would be everybody's ultimate 2 color scheme and theming for this new coaster if you could be the one to decide? Me: think Seattle Seahawks uniforms. Fluorescent green combined with dark blue. Alien/outer space theming. You? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jallie79 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Could we possibly see a retheme of FoF and the whole X-Base area redone into Outpost 5. I do remember seeing quite a few references to Outpost 5 over the past year. Would have to go back and find the tweet but either Don or Chad had posted pics on Twitter during winterfest of blue ice cream hot chocolate being delivered to news stations and said there was a hint to a coming KI attraction. In ever photo, the number 5 was present. Plus various decorations from haunt had outpost 5 markings. Either they have already started teasing or it was an elaborate troll. Lol Either way, would be cool to see homage to SoB. Not to mention, possible explanation of why the clearing is so close to The Beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AintNutinElse2Do Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Thinking of a giga I think a charcoal grey with medium blue track would be pretty sweet, example Blue Hawk SFOG. I imagine X Base will change drastically with this addition, while I do love Flight of Fear I would be happy to see it adjust with the new ride. Maybe even change X Base to Outpost 5, update but respect Flight of Fear, reach the sky with the giga, and in a year or two add a Sky Roller or something like that in the area. Everything could keep the spirit of the area and improve simultaneously. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifetimecoaster Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Speaking of coaster sounds, the sound of Banshee is awesome. The way that coaster sounds on the track is almost ominous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I don't think we should retheme FOF. I think it's fine the way it is imo. I could see them adding some new decor in the queue line to tie into the new coaster though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
