Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
PalmTree55 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Definitely joining so I can do this, I was just wondering if we needed to sign up for media day or anything so they know how much food to make, how to schedule it, ect. I've been to a VIP event at Kings Island once for my dad's work and loved it and I'd love to go to another one to ride this awesome new coaster. I just want to wait until this season is over to regist Regarding my comment about Wild Eagle earlier, what I was saying is that I had ridden mostly towards the front the first few times and found that it lacked forces, and then rode in the back right and found that it was just a bit more intense. But when I rode in the back on the left... OMG!!! For some reason this seat felt like it was in a whole new league of intensity compared to the rest of the coaster. That ride resulted in a lot of loud commentary from me because I was so surprised to be getting such an intense ride on what I thought was a tame coaster. It was the only time I ever had an issue with stapling and I honestly found it slightly difficult to keep my hands up on the eight curve. So I don't think the whole thing is intense, but the forces are the most powerful in that seat. I just found it surprising and if Banshee gives the same intensity as that back seat, it'll definitely trump Afterburn as my favorite invert. All the information you will need will be posted in the Club TPR forum. -

I'd rather have ZacSpin and Premier launched than a Giga at Carowinds. -

I really don't care wether it's B&M or Intamin. I just don't want A B&M Giga because of Intimidator. Quite frankly, I don't really want a giga at all, but will take what ever coaster we can get. I prefer Intamin, but B&M Dive Machines are terrific as well, maybe the best type of ride B&M have manufactured. -

If B&M, the only type of B&M I would want would be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwT5JoN6mHM. I still REALLY want to get a 300ft. Dive Machine, the drops on Shiekra and Griffon are incredible. I would love to see an extended layout as well too, maybe with a zero-g roll and stuff. -

No no no no no no no NO! It doesn't matter to Mr. Mojo because it's most likely not his home park. I would like something decent here, not a forceless B&M. -

If it's B&M, the only thing I would like is a massive 300ft. Dive Machine with an extended layout! -

Agreed. Hey, TPR - could we please try to have more intelligent debates and less retarded? Thank you! Sorry -

What's your point? That cables are better than chains? I think it is the slow lift hill that allows Leviathan to run 3 trains. As for Carowinds new coaster, I'd be surprised if this was Intamin and not B&M. Cedar Fair seems to be pleased with their products as they keep buying more and they havn't gave as many headaches to parks like some Intamins have. Most enthusiasts on this site won't love a B&M giga, but the GP sure will, and that's what matters the most to the park. That's my point exactly. Cables are MUCH better than chains. The cables on MF allow it to run three trains. It's just another thing that makes Intamin better in my opinion than B&M. Being catapulted over the lift hill adds more excitement to the ride for me. -

Playing the POV's side by side both starting at the bottom of the lift hill, I305 has already completed the first airtime hill by the time Leviathan has crested the lift hill. -

You can't even compare the two, Intamin is lightyears better. I don't get how you can say Leviathan is more intense or better of a coaster. Seriously, B&M is still using chain lifts instead of an elevator cable. On i305 it's almost as if you are catapulted into the first drop, while Leviathan you slowly crest the top. -

Maybe we will finally see a 300ft. Dive Machine with an extended layout. I think if we have to stick with B&M this wold be a much better choice! -

I love B&M but you're insane if you think they hold a candle to Intamin coasters. There are a few old school B&M's that do but for the most part Intamin makes much better rides. Couldn't have said it better, Intamin is MUCH superior. -

Thank you! It's not that I'm completely against B&M,I just STRONGLY prefer Intamin. I am happy for any new coaster though! -

We already have a Hyper! Unless it's built by Intamin and you are launched to the top, I have a feeling it's gonna be manufactured by B&M. I know people say it's a different ride, but I'd rather have a different ride style than that. -

The problem with a Sky Rocket-like coaster is that it doesn't have that high of a capacity. With what Cedar Fair has been adding lately, it seems that they want rather high capacity rides, as shown through their installations of Leviathan, Gatekeeper, Gold Striker, & Banshee. Also, doesn't Hurler take up a large amount of space? I could see the large, new coaster being built there. Burn Hurler! Something like Cheetah Hunt would be perfect because it has a very high capacity!
