The lift hill section of the blueprints basically shows the stuff needed for a chain lift. i thought it would be too good to be true, I didn't know if the prints showed them or not. Thanks! 2
_capture_the_thrills_ Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 "Kings Island's Launching you to new heights in 2020" Where did you hear that at? 2

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Here is proof that it's not a launched giga. 4 1
supertrooper Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 The inconsistency in the design of these posters bothers me...but that's probably only because I do production art and quality assurance for a living, so I'm always looking for mistakes. It probably hinders my ability to enjoy things, but I can't help it. For instance: the Invertigo poster does not have the "Research Partner" verbiage above the manufacturer that the other two have. The Firehawk poster uses a different font and also has colons after "Tests Administered" and "Test Purpose", while the other two don't. I would have marked these up and sent them back to the designer before printing. 1 2 1

Maybe it is #KIOrion or #KIOrion2020? EDIT: Depending on how much space is between the signs, if any at all, perhaps #KIPolaris? If the letters aren't debuting in order, that is. 3
DustinTheNow Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Yoooo. I think I’ve decoded something FOR REAL. The “Tests Administered” Numbers might mean something. Possible ride stats ... I may even know what stats are being said. Here’s the stat from Invertigo 11,554,278 Or 11554278 5427 ft is only 28 ft off from my prediction of 5455 ft for the track length. From Flight of Fear 6,761,893 Or 6761893 189 seconds or 3 min and 9 seconds is about the same total ride time as Leviathan, a competitively similar B&M “giga” coaster. And for the most controversial ... From Firehawk ... 6,762,893 Or 6762893 289 ft is a height value that is within 5-7 ft of any reasonable estimate for the height of the coaster. I am still holding that the coaster will be called a 300 ft tall coaster but this potential stat is very interesting. Although, I’m hoping that number is a red herring and the only number that matters is the one at the end that says 3. Lol ... 3 total trains Make sense anyone?! 8
Maverick44 Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 This is amazing. Lets see all 3 together! if someone could please! 4

(Especially considering FH's 6+ million since 2007) Maybe it was since they changed the name from Outer limits to now.

fryoj Posted July 23, 2019 Author Posted July 23, 2019 They are clearly spelling out Loki. He is a trickster... But Polaris has 7 letters. Not that I expect them to actually spell out the name of the coaster. 6
WailsLikeABanshee Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I'd believe there's enough room for 4-5 more between those, so I feel it could be either still, if they're spelling the name. I guess tomorrow might tell? Sent from my LM-V405 using Tapatalk 2
Joshua Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 So it is on the left. Hmm, perhaps OrionKI, but I doubt it. I still think whatever is being spelled is going to be the marketing hashtag. 2
ZekTehKek Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Okay, this is a very "out there" thinking process (and I'm new so it's fine if you don't listen to me), but I took the sequence numbers found in the upper-right hand corner and corresponded them with the letters on the posters. FoF's "Sequence Number" looked like a "V" (or 5), but I couldn't tell very well. Could someone confirm which sequence number is on Flight of Fear? Also sorry for the awful handwriting. EDIT: this is assuming that there will be 10 posters. Edited July 23, 2019 by ZekTehKek Added something to my post. 5

XBeastGirlX Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 I think they will save announcing the name for the announcement ceremony 7

FUN&ONLY! Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Flight of Fear is sequence 5. Invertigo is sequence 8. Firehawk is sequence 9. 4

This is based on a lot of other assumptions, including whether it was the first O that appeared for Orion and if the letters are even going to spell the title at all. Also, what are the chances of the letters being placed scrambled for further decoding? 6
Maverick44 Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Could this be additions to the park? And the order they were installed? 4

sikkinixx99 Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Polaris KI is 9 letters so the name will be Orion 289 lol 1 2
