Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread

^Maybe a B&M Giga.

 

 

i can see this happening since they don't have a coaster over 300 ft. But question is where would they put it?

[Password121]

^Anywhere

[JRice92]

^^ Yup, Kings Island owns plenty of land around what just the park takes up. They don't have a lack of space to put rides.

[drummermattk]

Anyone know whats going on with the webcams? they havent been updated since This morning at 7:01:01 AM. maybe there getting live feed cameras like CP and Carowinds?

[drummermattk]

Looks like the Flyers are going up!

[screaminkid2005]

Looks great! I can't wait to finally check out Kings Island this season!

[drummermattk]

^ if you are going on a weekday in the summer, try and ride the good rides (Diamondback, Beast, Vortex etc.) in the mornings. Bnahsee's line should be hopefully about 5 - 10 minutes long. Depends on the how fast the crew goes in the station. But last year at about 12:30 and until about 3:30 i rode banshee about close to 10 times since the line was short. Its up to you on how you wanna do it though.

Me too, I can't wait to go to my second favorite park.

[drummermattk]

Is anybody going to the Season Preview night on April 17th? Still wondering what all will be available to ride

[thrillrider]

Does anybody know the status of the kings island inn and resort across the street from the park? Last I heard it was going to be torn down. Is it still standing?

[KI Kidd]

Last I heard it was still standing. A few people over at KIC even reported the power was still on at the building as of mid January.

[Stuff513]

I drove by a week or so ago and it was still mostly standing, but demolition has begun.

[thrillrider]

Thanks for the updates.

[drummermattk]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that we can see either a Giga coaster come to KI in the next year or two or three or maybe a floorless coaster? Maybe the worlds longest Floorless coaster since KI likes to break records like CP?

I definitely don't see a Giga coming to KI. A floorless would be a nice addition, though.

[DJeXeL]

^To be fair, nobody saw a giga going to CW OR Carowinds either....

[Brassinthegrass]

I think it would be a while before a Floorless showed up... They just put in a Multi Looper, I feel like they would go for a Wooden Coaster, or something like that. Dear RMC, DO NOT TOUCH Beast.

[GwaziBSRider1]

Dear RMC, DO NOT TOUCH Beast.

 

[whatabeast]

I can definitely see a giga coming to Kings Island. They have the popularity, the draw, and most importantly... a butt-ton of space to build it. Given the recent CF trend, I think we can practically expect one from B&M... no matter how much I'd like to see one from Intamin.

 

I'm still standing by my previous statements that a terra coaster through the woods back there would be epic, so here's to hoping that happens.

[livai]

Posso sicuramente vedere un giga venire a Kings Island.

No absolutely not. Diamondback and more than enough

Cedar Fair has already thrown enough money in fury 325 and leviathan

[drummermattk]

^ um. honestly i think cedar fair is trying to get parks like Canada's Wonderland and Carowinds coasters that they needed. After all Cedar Fair does like to break records sometimes. Plus you have to remember if the GP wants something more thrilling and unique the park does go with different ideas and sometimes its a good thing to try something different. Honestly I really do t see how you can say diamondback banshee fury and leviathan are all wastes of money. They have brought really good attendance since they have been put in

[drummermattk]

Lokks like the flyer swings are up! Finally there back at KI

[Whodey]

An update for people a page back. Part of the hotel has started to come down. Nothing by the street but one of the buildings in the back was coming down today as I drove by it.
