scbt Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I know this is HIGHLY unlikely, BUT has a theme park ever announced TWO new coasters? If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Geauga Lake added 4 new coasters when Six Flags first took over. However, I doubt that KI will put in both a Wing Coaster and an Invert.
DJeXeL Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 $45,000,000 worth of coasters is a bit much for 1 season.
OCJ48 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Supposedly, X-Flight cost $15m. I'd imagine you could get a Batman-scale invert for about the same. So yeah, they could probably build one of each for $30m, but they wouldn't set any records and neither would look like the blueprints.

We don't know that those were the actual blueprints for the KI coaster, so it's still a possibility, but not a high one.
Invertalon Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 We don't know that those were the actual blueprints for the KI coaster, so it's still a possibility, but not a high one. Wow, people STILL think those were fake? You don't waste the time and money for drafters and engineers just to prank enthusiasts... Sorry. Do you have any idea how long it takes to make drawings THAT detailed? You just can't put those together overnight. When we make drawings like that, it can take WEEKS.
A.J. Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Wow, people STILL think those were fake? You don't waste the time and money for drafters and engineers just to prank enthusiasts... Sorry. This.

I don't think they're fake, but how do you know that they're the blueprints for the KI coaster? They probably are, I'm not trying to say that they aren't, but you can't be 100% sure until after the announcement, that's all I'm saying.
Aceattack52 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Do we have a designated user to post the news of the announcement here? It seems like it would be pretty chaotic with a whole lot of us watching.

Did you miss the point in the video where they pan over and show the edge that says "Kings Island" on it? I doubt that would be on there if it were for Michigan's Adventure? Check at 1:24 of the video, it's right there Edited August 9, 2013 by Skramp

Maybe the fact they show "Kings Island" on them and the topography and other attractions are shown?

PkiJake Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Did anyone else see the tweet from Great Coasters tweeted about some of their engineering team are enjoying Kings Island's twitter tonight? They said there seems to be something big going on. Kinda interesting that even they are talking about it. What if we have been duped and it's a wooden coaster after all. Doubt it. I'd rather have an invert though.
cmullin Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Could there be a small possibility that it could be a flying coaster?

Ed Farmer Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Could there be a small possibility that it could be a flying coaster? Firehawk.
Skramp Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Could there be a small possibility that it could be a flying coaster? Nope, they have Firehawk already.

It seems like it would be pretty chaotic with a whole lot of us watching. One of the moderators will post it up. Yup. I know everyone is excited but please refrain from posting any official details. Otherwise, we will have several posts saying the same thing. A moderator will post the official announcement and you guys can discuss away!
Aceattack52 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 ^ Looks like it was a good thing that I brought it up.
Jew Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 The plans are most definitely real...the question is whether or not the plans changed and those are an older proposal/design? That happens all the time in this industry.
yankeeman311 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Anyone know where I can watch this announcement live on tv or internet if it's streaming at all?
coasterjunkie1975 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 T-Minus 5 minutes till the complaining begins!!!!!!!!!
