_capture_the_thrills_ Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Maybe the new coaster is being announced today? I doubt that. They’d have sent media invites for the announcement by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what may be confusing is that when KI opened and some rides were relocated from Old Coney, they used the old moniker that sat above Shooting Star coaster station for the Round Up ride which was back by the mat racer slide.

PatchesC Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 1 hour ago, Enchanted Voyage Lover said: Chad's Words; "While park officials have not commented publicly on the fence posters, the references to former coasters and flat rides seems to be hinting at a new addition to the park. Letters in the background of each poster combine to suggest the acronym, TEOTWAWKI or “The End of the World as We Know It.” While some Kings Island fans are referencing the REM song of the same name, others think the letters have a deeper meaning. One thing’s for sure, this area of Kings Island is far from “The End.” In fact, some have suggested it’s only the beginning." So could it be Alpha if it's the beginning? Anytime I see "The End" the Doors pops in my head, so at least REM isn't playing lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondBanshee Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Remember when nearly everyone was freaking out about KI not having teasers? And now KI is dropping bombshell after bombshell, having a very fast paced and fun teasing campaign?Good times.

ThrillKingsFitzy Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yeah but those are the blueprints. It doesn't exactly mean the layout is exactly correct. It could be the exact same, or it could be very different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version @DustinTheNow did in No limits is pretty close to, if not exactly, what it's going to be. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiocoasterfan Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I expect there will be some twist that none of us have figured out in the layout 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm guessing the only thing that we don't know for certain regarding the layout is the exact angles of the banks on some of the elements. Beyond that, everything else is known. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be the exact same, or it could be very different. I get what you're saying. We might have a layout in two dimensions (and rough ideas of a third), but I want to see what B&M's actual shaping is gonna...shape up like. Busch Gardens' announcement is kind of disappointing as yet, they've got a sizzle reel but no POV or layout pics. 4 minutes ago, ohiocoasterfan said: I expect there will be some twist that none of us have figured out in the layout It would be nice, but...I'm not holding my breath. I could see **maybe** a quasi inversion somewhere, but I don't think B&M will push the banking past 135. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I will give me verdict tot he question. @Logic I don't think that will have anything to do with it. We know we are getting a B&M giga. So you either like the coaster or not.

Shaggy Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 A little over a week ago everyone here was whining about how there were no teasers... now everyone is saying how great the campaign is...

Shankapottapuss Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I was a huge fan of SOB’s teaser. I will never forget that box rattling and shaking with those chains on it. That was pretttty legit. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that was a big promo for that ride which was a huge let down. This is generating loads of hype and it would be a shame if it didn't live up to it. Also, there's so much debate on the "giga" part of it with the 296 etc. Calling that set is a little ambitious although i do hope it's true 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
