thatguyfromohio Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 What if....hear me out...what if maybe, just maybe those blueprints were originally for the addition of the Antique Autos construction, which would explain why Firehawk isn’t there. And maybe, just maybe, marketing thought ahead and said “Hey, we should mock-up a layout of next year’s giga for when the permits for the station are inevitably posted, but make sure the layout matches what the permits show.” i don’t think that happened at all. But maybe.... What if Kings Island is just submitting fake layouts to mason. It’s cause something is permitted doesn’t mean it’s gonna be built. They could be just messing with people tbh. It’s not hard to copy another layout and paste it over top of something. Guess we will never know till they announce though.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 ^^People thought the leaked MT layout was fake, but it wasn't. I don't think they would send fake blueprints to the Mason City Hall. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't play games with governmental agencies that can shut down your project. The leaked plan with the whole layout is another story. I'm saying 85% likely to be legit. I'm 99% certain it came from inside KI or B&M. I just can't instantly discount that its a red herring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riptombraider Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Every time we are decoding it seems there are some sort of plans we look back on and either laugh at or say darn we had no idea what was actually in store. It seems like today is that crossroad 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be saying an unpopular thought, but what if this is a coaster that is not a giga but is instead a smaller ride? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin22 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I don’t know what else this is going to be then? The footers clearly suggest backbone so it’s almost certainly going to be a giga in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I hate to be someone to say this, but if this is actually the real legit layout of the giga coaster, it is truly disappointing. For a park of Kings Island's scale and prominence, such a small giga coaster would be a complete disappointment to many. The last few coaster additions were things that the park needed, and the fans had been asking for. To which I would say KI completely delivered with Banshee and Mystic Timbers. But this wouldn't be following in the same suit. It would be a backtrack from all other Giga installations before it. A shadow of the rest. Which seems to be the wrong move for the park. I haven't disagreed with many moves made by the park as of late, but that layout would be a bad choice. Another thing to possibly consider are the rumors that Great America's B&M Hyper was temporarily shelved for Kings Island to get a giga. If this is the case, could we be seeing CF try to stick with the same price-point that they were going to pay for the hyper at Great America? Leaving us with a "budget" giga coaster? As I echo what others have been saying, this does seem albeit off. Something is fishy about this. The accuracy of these plans will likely become visible sooner than later. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I kinda had the idea for years that since the KI giga thing was hyped for all these years, when they finally announce it, we probably will be disappointed that our huge ideas didn't end up happening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 WOW- I leave KIC for one day to do other stuff, and this thread exploded. Leaked images, obvious fakes, etc. and everything. But the stuff I have seen that at least looks legit (and matches the current clearing) makes me think a few things: -This is gonna be a bit more like Leviathan, than Fury 325. And much more out-and-back'ish. -Will probably be shorter than Fury 325 as well, by 1000 feet at least. Might be a bit longer than Leviathan, but probably not by too much. (Leviathan is 5,486 feet long) -Though I do think it will be a bit taller than Fury (330 feet or so). They will probably market it as the "tallest and fastest traditional coaster" while Fury 325 will still be able to claim longest steel roller coaster in the USA. -Depending on how fast the coaster is going, that one helix near the end is probably going to be pretty intense. I would still wanna see the official announcement (for exact hill locations, the size and speed each one is taken at, etc.) and obviously ride the new apparently-a-Giga before I make final judgments on it. It'll probably still be a excellent ride though, even if not quite Fury 325 level. And it should at least be a much better, more reliable and higher capacity ride versus what it is replacing (Firehawk). Also I watched a Leviathan POV and it does give me a sense that it does heavily compare to what the leaks suggest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodVengeance Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Something I noticed when looking at the layout that was leaked on reddit, the picture cuts off right where we speculated the turnaround was, so is it possible there could still be more to the layout that wasn't shown? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterMegRN Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Again that has been debunked. I brought that up weeks ago. Valravn has a backbone. Isn't backbone the piece connected to the drop that goes straight down?

Rivertown Rider Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I am still firmly on Team Giga. Even if this ride is Leviathan 2.0 (I expect it to be both taller and longer) it would still be in my opinion the best steel coaster in the park. Leviathan is a great ride. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsguy23 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 1st everyone is entitled to their own opinion yes, however all these comments about the layout and all this other crap like seriously! We literally are seeing lines on a paper. We have no idea what this coaster is actually going to do in terms of elements. I remember when Banshees “layout” was leaked the same way and I thought the layout looked dull but come announcement time it kicked ass. 2 someone fact check me on this but if the track in question currently sitting at the b and m plant is indeed for king island can’t we rule out a wing coaster? From memory I thought wing coasters used the wide track such as the track found on dive coasters 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the leaked blueprints show no inversions so unless they plan on building the worst dive / wing coaster ever it’s going to be a giga. Along with the numerous other leaks it’s almost certainly a giga with the added information about there being a backbone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
