FUN&ONLY! Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I was just kidding @Maverick44! I have a lot of respect for Intamin. Honestly, if I could choose any coaster to put at Kings Island next, I would want a modern Intamin Blitz. The concept you made in the Invertigo/Congo Falls area a while back was amazing. Now we just need Cedar Fair to make amends with them... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Intamin is trying to make a statement with all of these new rides they are putting in. I am sure if Cedar Fair ever works with them again, Intamin will go all out to try to make the best ride they can and as reliable as they can, so Cedar Fair will continue to work with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I was thinking, what if they put in a Mack Double launch in the location of Invertigo and Congo Falls and gave it a spooky theme. An idea I thought with that is they could make the queue line indoors and the theming could be amazing. Like Boo Blaster's queue but better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 So is the verdict out on Copperhead Strike? Its great? Is it Meh? is it bad? I will judge once I can get down there but compared to Maverick how is it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO I want a great launch with alright hangtime. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will judge once I can get down there but compared to Maverick how is it? It's fun! Nothing super impressive. Not very forceful. Slow, gradual launches. Great hangtime. A couple good airtime moments. Some fun laterals. Pretty short. Nice theming. Perfectly fine. Nothing like Mav. I rode it twice. Didn't need to ride it again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I was thinking about multiple different things. But the more I think about RMC, I think it would be great if we could be one of the first parks to get the RMC Trex model. We get too high attendance for the Raptor. So I think it would be a good move to wait after the giga for the Trex model to come out and see how it goes and install one. I also say this because Kings Island is the perfect park to build an RMC ground up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is nothing more than 200 feet. I don’t see Kings Island building another giga or something taller anytime soon, and even with only a 150 foot height, an RMC T-Rex would probably still be the best in the park. No matter what you give RMC to work with, the ride will be amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give Ki the tallest coaster in the world? haha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSourNinja Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Honestly, an RMC t-rex could be a great next investment if the giga is an air time monster. I don't think it is going to be so you might want something with more air time, but if it has enough I would be down to wait like 6 years to get a HUGE RMC t-rex that is a speed demon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 This location definitely sounds like a perfect location for the next coaster. The type? I'm going back and forth between multiple. An RMC would definitely be my top choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said that Timberwolf should not go, but I believe if it does go, the park and Spiritsong would still find a way to host the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 It would be a great area for a dive for a launched coaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I made a B&M launched wing coaster using that whole area. It also comes with a new concert lawn area where spiritsong and other events can still be held. Enter that under the brake run. Plus a large plaza that can be used as the entry to the coaster as well as festivities for concert events. The name for the coaster is Falcon. The coaster also crosses over the front entrance path similar to GateKeeper, but not over the entrance building. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
