ohcoasterguy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I was at KI Friday and asked the old guy at the top of the tower if he knew anything about the coaster they were putting in. He was saying it was going to break records, be between 300-400 ft tall and go over 100 mph. I found it a bit amusing considering the plans we have seen. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I found it amusing that recently on social media, I saw a post where someone was swearing the announcement would definitely be mid August because several employees at the park had told him. I couldn’t help giggling because I’m sure those employees “know” because they’ve seen the same claims and heard the same rumors as we have, not because they’ve been given inside information. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Remember seasonal employees know about as much as we do. Remember those who speak don't know, those who know don't speak. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we all follow the same blueprints... if I'm not mistaken, the actual construction of the ride blueprints have not been made public, correct? So, the overlay or underlay of the ride visible on the electrical prints is "for illustration purposes only", lol. Only big thing countering this whole potential theory is the footer layouts that are factually lining up with current prints 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Instead of "happy little trees", I guess he makes "happy Lil Gigas"! Also, anyone at the park seen any teasers? It would be cool (and telling) if the teasing started today as it is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. On a related note, I wonder if there are any references to the moon landing during any of today's performances of Gravity? 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jallie79 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Nothing yesterday. I know it's been discussed already but I'm honestly curious why Kings Island social media has been so infatuated with gravity over the past week. I suppose it could be related to the moon landing anniversary. just not so sure. Time will tell I guess 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 It's also Gravity's last year at the park from what I've heard. So I'm thinking maybe they are trying to get people to see it before they take it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video gives me chills even almost 20 years after it debuted. Although it's not the new millennium anymore so they should consider renaming it to something more catchy. So maybe whatever ride name Kings Island goes with, maybe they could rename Millennium Force with the other name. I know that sounds un-realistic but hey it's a nice fantasy right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would rename one of their most popular coasters. I think it's fine the way it is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBeastGirlX Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Just watched Gravity and it was great. Definitely no teasers. They did say their last show would be August 18 and I hope whatever replaces it is equally as good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
