Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Not really about The Vortex area, but here is an interesting statement from a recent article about something Chad said. Doesn't mean that we are definitely getting our next big attraction in 3-4 years, but I find this statement interesting. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.daytondailynews.com/news/local/kings-island-opening-will-finally-debut-the-planet-seventh-giga-coaster-orion/bdZjVYXYvMvGLmdRISozaK/amp.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the park will add a new rollercoaster sooner than some are thinking because after COVID-19, they are going to need to bring back lost guests. It will probably take a large addition in 3-4 years to bring back these guests. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Cedar Fair we got coasters in 2007, 2009, 2014, 2017, and 2020 with the biggest gap being between Diamondback and Banshee which didn't seem like a long time. Heck we had a pretty good quantity during the Paramount era. Kings Island's in a pretty demanding market so they have to get a few new coasters every decade where other parks don't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrodyoda Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Shameless self plug warning. I started off on this project as just a generic Mack Impulse. Trying to come up with a name along the way, I decided to name it Flight Commander after the KI Flat (it's just a dope name, too). After I had the name, I wished that something like this would take Vortex's land. I didn't follow Vortex's terrain; nor did I try to fit it into the same plot size since it was an after thought. Nonetheless..... Enjoy? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LintemuthStudios Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 So, Seaworld Orlando was/is supposed to get a custom B&M LAUNCH coaster. Looks like we have another option on the table. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A launched B&M wing might be an option. Different enough from GateKeeper and gives the park another launched coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 The biggest gap the Kings Island has their lineup right now is the lack of a large scale multi inverting coaster. Vortex gave us 6 inversions so it would be nice to have a coaster that would make those up somehow. We're also lacking a modern multi launch coaster but personally I would not want to combine a multi launch and a multi inverting coaster just yet. I might be the minority but I prefer traditional chain lift loopers. I feel like when you combine coasters, you limit the opportunity of possible additions down the road. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly right by the guests entering like Manta at Sea World. As far as what should go in Vortex's old space I would love to see something similar to Mystery Mine at Dollywood, we need a good themed indoor/outdoor coaster that is just plain fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 If anyone's good at No limits 2, try and make a GateKeeper type coaster but as a flyer. Pulled from the other Vortex thread, I'm sure this shot might be easy to use as a backdrop for any desired coaster concept 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
