So the only current working theory is the number of yrs it was in operation and a state abbreviation...

Okay I am not gonna lie this tape thing is crazy. I know mistakes are made on this level and that is understandable, but I do not believe that they have some bimbo printing a typo on every one of these posters.

I've been saying this for a while.  Got told I was a moron basically that these are nothing more than mistakes.  I have serious reservations that every single poster was in need of correction.

My thought is this. The first two posters were intentionally obvious that they were changed.  IMO one of 3 things is going on.

 1. They built these "mistakes" into the teasers for a legit reason and they aren't mistakes at all.

 2. They found a typo or 2 on them when and thought that this could be something they could use to screw with people as quickly as people were noticing the mistakes.  

 3.  The put intentional typos and subsequent corrections on these just to mess with everyone and there is zero meaning. Guess we'll see.

[shizzzon]

What if the numbers need to all be added up?

Invertigo- 20
Firehawk- 11 (31)
Flight of Fear 23 (x2 for sequence change) 46 (77)
Bayern curve (9:900 = 100) 100 (177)
Vortex- 32 (209)
Zodiac- 11 (220)
Rotor- 10 (230)
Skylab- 11 (241)
Shooting Star- 24 (265)

Could the final Sequence X finish the number system with a 21 or 36?  (286 or 301)

Basically yes so far

Its locked so users can see the pictures without having to look through 300+ pages. 

It has a dual purpose. The Kings Island News forum is what updates the home page of the site. So, that thread was to update the homepage and I thought it would serve a good place to put all the teasers in one location to reference easily like Six mentioned here.

[shizzzon]

I have this maybe-  Topgun / Fight Deck / The Bat is currently in service for 26yrs.

That would put the number to 291 lift height?

Drop Zone: > Skyflyer in service for 24yrs.
That would make it 289 lift height.

Drop Tower in service for 20yrs.
That would make it 285 lift height

Maybe one of these 3 is the last poster?

Doubt it due to the fact that the ride has to be operating in the park after Firehawk 2007 if we are going sequentially thru the years

[Turtlepower]

They didn't go the direction I thought they would with what appears to be state abbreviations. Idaho, Nevada, 2 Arizona's, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, South Dakota, and whatever "HR" is. What does it mean? Does it even mean anything?

[PatchesC]

I can't get a clear image, does anyone know what the inset picture in the bottom left corner of Skylap is?

[shizzzon]

^^ Human Resources, lol.  

I think they just meant Per Hour.

The actual Skylab space station.

IF this has anything to do with the REM song, then we need to analyze the song

 

It appeared in the beginning of the original Independence Day movie  hmmm

It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

R.E.M.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs,
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck

Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)

It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right

It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

 

 

possible keys words or phrases:

 

Speed it up a notch

With a fear of height

 represent the seven  (Would this be the 7th Giga?)

 overflow, population, common group

Rapture   possible name ..not used as a ride

Feeling pretty psyched

Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn

Please stop referencing that song. It was funny the first 50 times. Thanks.

What is the Shooting Star bar graph showing? Could this be something hinting at the hills of Project X?

Also, I know we’ve talked about the Tests Administered, but what if Project X has everything mentioned in all nine posters? (Has anyone listed them all?) Does that mean we will get a Giga with a loop?

South Dakota, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Kansas, Oklahoma...

Interesting.

   That would be awesome, but if the blueprints are correct then nope.

What if the teasing started when Gravity premiered last season?

I love this song and think I'll go listen to it now.

[BoddaH1994]

So I forgot about how Orion is the new spacecraft from NASA.  I was just thinking about the constellation.  I think I like that name better than Polaris now, if those are really the possibilities.  I really hope this thing is well themed.  How cool would that be?

[PatchesC]

Has anyone noticed in sequence the pictures are almost a rocket launch traveling beyond the milky way? Only one I can't explain is Zodiac doesn't fit the sequence.

That's old news. I said that last year on here somewhere. Read, old man! Lol

Beeastfarmer, hoping the admin doesn't ban him for poking fun.

Does anyone have a photo of the whole fence from today? 

[BoddaH1994]

Here's some more food for thought.  What if it's not a space theme at all? I'm starting to have doubts.

Simply put, there are literally tens of dozens of existing and defunct rides that they could have chosen for the posters but they chose Shooting Star - a ride that's only very loosely tied to Kings Island.  It's almost like they're softball tossing a space theme to you in the hopes that you swing at the wrong pitch. 

[thatguyfromohio]

What if they theme it to dooms day, use the old Firehawk track loop and make it part of the theming. Xbase sign next to The Racer is down, so I can see an retheme

[KI FANATIC 37]

I do think an end of the world/ dooms day theme is possible. 

 

Someone mentioned the name Armageddon. I like that a lot. Or a name like Calamity.
