Dorney already made their announcement, they're getting a new play structure for their waterpark. I believe Kings Island is the only park in Cedar Fair that hasn't made their announcement yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterman54 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Not sure if this has been said or not, but what are the odds they put bag containers in the station? Or are we going to be forced to buy a locker? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see if Kings Island adds the same bin system that Yukon Striker uses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codyfryguy Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 It would be interesting to see if Kings Island adds the same bin system that Yukon Striker uses. I wouldnt be surprised if they dont... I'm pretty sure the blueprints show a reworked locker area... and if I know Cedar Fair they like their money,not utilizing the lockers would be a huge profit loss especially with the hype of this new coasterSent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The thing for Yukon Striker seems to work better for wide stations. So having them for dive coasters makes more sense imo. I think we'll see that system on future dive coasters CF constructs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifetimecoaster Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Here's another thing to think.... Did anyone ever 100% confirm that the blue track is ours? What if the blue track is going somewhere else all together, and our excitement had the blue track being ours? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The only other B&M being made in the USA is MAKO and that wasn't drove coaster track. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue track's identification numbers matched the identification numbers found on Kings Island's blueprints for each section of track. It's without a doubt ours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MCT track matches closely with the blueprints and is the only other mega coaster track known at CSF along with Candymonim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhatTheBlazes Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I am still debating whether or not to make the trip over from Indy this evening. Would love to be a part of the crowd and the excitement, but I've got an early day tomorrow. I know KIBlog is Livestreaming this. Does anyone know if anybody else has confirmed if they are streaming it as well? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The park itself is streaming the announcement, and I know Don is setting up to record for it in a primo location. Theirs will most likely be the best. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 13 hours ago, BoddaH1994 said: Notice how the drop is what’s being marketed already, not the height. Just more credence to the 285’/301’ theory. A bigger drop is more important than height as far as ride experience is concerned anyway. But the additional height above the ground gives more of a perceived thrill in most cases. 325' above the ground with a 300' drop is going to create more of a thrill compared to 275' above the ground with a 300' drop into a valley.
