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 Expand What ever Ki gets its going to be the best coaster in the park imo. Tallest and Fastest Ki has ever seen and possibly ever will see. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj74205 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I think whether KI sees a 400'+ coaster will depend on the viability of a certain breed of Tyrannosaur Edited for brain fart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jallie79 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Not trying to initiate a debate on what manufacturer is better but, Intamin is the only company to build a strata. Neither of which has been the most reliable. I think they realized there issues with TTD and Ka and haven't even tried to build any more of that model. Unless they completely rethink the 400+ foot approach, or another company does, I dont see many more stratas anywhere. Just my opinion though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocoasterfan Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 So I think they are kinda playing off the whole Area 51 thing. This is how I would like to see the announcement go down.The announcement is scheduled for 10 pm in Xbase. From 9:00 til 10 pm they play a warning over loud speakers every 5 minutes as the crowd begins to build. Something along the lines of “You are unlawfully assembled in a restricted space, please leave this area immediately”.At 9:55 pm there is a commotion behind the fence. You hear sirens and people yelling at someone to get out of the area. Maybe even a helicopter with a spotlight. Suddenly the person appears in front of everyone on an elevated platform and starts yelling about what’s behind the fence and that they can’t hide it anymore. He’s eventually arrested and taken away. Then they come on and announce the coaster and display the layout on the side of the building. 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueney020 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 That is why the T-Rex was mentioned a few posts ago. I agree we will see that model before another Strata model. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 So if/when KI starts to send media invites to the announcement, what do you think they would send with the invite? They usually send some type of little teaser thing with it. For example: the comb for Banshee, the truck for MT, and the key for the antique cars. I was thinking along the lines of maybe a small telescope or a small model rocket ship or something like that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
