BeeastFarmer Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 @collin.klopfstein, I really really like the GiGa concept in Action Zone! Good job! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I think a blitz would look great back here. I made this a while ago. Just re-sharing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I still think we have a great iconic front entrance needs an update but not a new one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I don't think we'll see a new front gate. If I remember correctly, Cedar Fair representatives said they were happy with Kings Island's front gate and don't want to change it. I could see a new coaster near the gate though especially if Invertigo/Congo Falls is removed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeviousMrMatt Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Personally, I would be disappointed with changes to the main entrance. In a sense it is iconic going through the turnstiles and stepping though to the grand entrance of the fountains and international street. I remember growing up and the anticipation of what was beyond the entrance and being awed by the sounds and smells of the fountain. A coaster there interrupting that scene would be a downer for me at least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I made a B&M dive coaster in Action Zone! I give you Goblin! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collin.klopfstein Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I think another great option for this park is either a wing coaster or something like copperhead strike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I decided to make a B&M floorless coaster in Action Zone (which is renamed Medieval Zone when this coaster is put in). I give you Mermaid! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodVengeance Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Here is a concept I made not too long ago for a B&M Flying Coaster for Action Zone that goes around the front gate. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't read this too well. Can you tell me where the lift and brake run are? I know there is some type of twist over the walkway. Also, are you predicting we are going to go 7-8 years without a new coaster? Or is this just the future and we'll get some type of coaster before that like in 2024-2025? Although, since Orion is a pretty large investment, I could see us having a larger gap between Orion and the next coaster than the last two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, since Orion is a pretty large investment, I could see us having a larger gap between Orion and the next coaster than the last two. I'm predicting we're going to be getting a coaster from either Mack or RMC around 2024-2025, then another B&M after that which is what my "Aethon" concept is based on. The lift hill is right below where it says "B&M flying coaster" and the first drop goes down below the walkway of the front entrance. The brake run is on the top side of the station where the white walkway is, I also put the transfer shed there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I'm asking you too many questions. I'm just curious where you think it would go in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that that they could either put it in Coney Mall where Vortex is now or more preferably in Rivertown in the plot of land between Diamondback and Beast where the Crypt building is now.

MDMC01 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 That Floorless looks great @Hawaiian Coasters 325! Love the color scheme too. How many inversions do ya think it has? #teamfloorless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many inversions do ya think it has? #teamfloorless 7 inversions. If you count the cobra roll as 2 inversions. So it's the same amount of inversions as Banshee, but a different layout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 @Hawaiian Coasters 325, you're getting better with your editing! You've come a long way Here's mine for a simple dive. An immalman where the drop of Invertigo would be, a cobra roll in the same general area where Invertigo's is, a MCBR, and a vertical loop after the MCBR before the final breaks. Looking back, I'd add a helix connecting the cobra roll to the MCBR. Name- Demon Height- 210ft Drop- 215ft Length- around 3,000ft Inversions-4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingshaven Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 If we are gonna get rid of CF n Ivertigo then I wouldn't mind something like this being installed. Water is there we already know a boomerang works in that area and doesnt disrupt the gate area (which i personally like) Courtesy of Mack Rides 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 A PowerSplash would be really cool! It would fit the Action Zone area well, be a comparable replacement for those two rides, AND KI would be one of the few parks with a true water coaster (as in, not a water slide). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Is water pumped into pool quickly to create the spashdown or are scoops lowered on the train? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither, the pumps are there to remove the water after the splash. The track is below the water line of the surrounding pool, it is filled by opening gates and just letting the water rush in. Six Flags over Texas is getting one for next year, I have heard Six Flags went cheap and is not getting the rotating load platform so it will operate with only a single boat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishleehooker Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Count me as someone who wants another woodie, or hybrid. I really really love RMCS and plan to go visit other parks to ride them. If KI got one that was a real killer...not necessarily better than Steal Vengeance, but on par and into the woods, then I'd have no need to spend money at any other parks honestly. The giga and the RMC plus what we already have would go a long way to keeping all my money at KI, rather than small excursions to Dollywood and Holidayworld or the like. I also simply love RMCs. I'd love to see it called Son of Beast...the other one's lost twin brother. Send it out into the woods either behind/ next to Orion to North or South, depending on terrains and stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Maybe they should go with one of those new vekomas, like a custom launch coaster, or something like Lech. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I like the look of this thing. You can see where the water at the end is multifunctional. Yes, it sprays, but it also does a great job of introducing enough drag to slow the coaster car down. Less wear and tear on mechanical parts and things like brakes. Knowing how water works in regards to pumps, it probably uses way less pressure than most think to actually get the car moving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonahWilliamson Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Very curious to see who in the US gets the first new Gen Vekoma. High Doubt on Cedar Fair. Could see Dollywood, Could see Sea world/Busch trying it first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishleehooker Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I'd take a vekoma 4 sure. I still lean towards more wood after this. That SoB curse needs lifted. I'd hardly complain on a vekoma or any multi launch. The one I want least is a dive coaster but I know people that love them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonahWilliamson Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 With the amount of discussion SOB makes. I wonder if they have fully shut the door on the thought of a SOB 2.0. I would go nuts if they came up with a RMC group up. I want that massive lift and pre drop again. But if the rest of the layout is different im cool with it. Anyone know if RMC can do a vertical loop? Just Curious 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
