TyRush Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 it could be for Dollywood so you cant really tell until more shows up and we have more hints. Dollywood isn't getting a B&M next year, not sure what made you think that as a possibility. You know your right! Im an idiot for that one, i have no idea why i said Dollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 ^That track was green, this track looks blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Oh joy, another B&M. At least it won't be a wing rider!?!? <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'm pretty sure we were all expecting that... Looking on the bright side, a high capacity/reliable ride is just what KI needs though after SOB and The Crypt leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I can't imagine what kind of B&M it would be. Seriously, I can't. Hey B&M, are you building another sitting coaster? A new-age Kumba would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Where do you see a photo showing blue track? If you mean the most recent photo posted, what you are looking at is the shipping label located on the unpainted ends of the track that are bolted together. I am personally thrilled they are getting a B&M coaster. WIth the height being hinted as "308", I'm thinking its got to be a dive machine or speed coaster. When B&M did their most recent interview, they said all they were waiting on was for a customer to order an LSM launched model, as they are ready to produce them. How awesome would that be if KI were the first to try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MBoy1982 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The place where the sticker is, is not painted usually. Also, Zack, could that be a photo of Gatekeeper? I think "WI" in the number on the bottom means "Wing" for "wing coaster". Reason I think this, is because Chimalongs(sp?) Dive Coaster had "DM" and a series of numbers. DM = Dive Machine KI could be trying to throw everyone off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Well seeing what a hit both Leviathan and Behemoth are up in Canada, it wouldn't surprise me at all if this was another giga coaster... even though I'd rather see what else B&M has up their sleeves these days besides a 70' taller hyper or a mediocre wing-rider. I'm still thinking this tweet was just to throw off the enthusiasts... Don loves messing with the coaster community, especially those over at KICentral.

chickenbowl Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Apparently the tweet is a complete diversion from King's Island. It does match that piece of track, but that is a track piece is from Heide Park's new Wing Rider that already shipped to Europe. But that's just what I've read. But either way, the WI code on that piece of track does mean Wing Rider though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Still hoping for the Intamin Giga. Chances are slim, but I'll remain optimistic about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I think this is still the track for Heide Parks new Wing Rider (whats the job number on that?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Still hoping for the Intamin Giga. Chances are slim, but I'll remain optimistic about it! That would be incredible but it's most likely gonna be a B&M. I wish it was going to be Intamin. We can always hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I still think its going to be a B&M Invert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropical7 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 On the topic of KICentral, I have heard of a guy posting an idea of a donkey themed coaster. I really am at a loss for words on what to call the new coaster, an invert, a hyper, I just don't know. The way it looks the ride could be paranormal themed with all the teasers and props out, which could align with the Banshee theory. With that, a invert sounds like a geat coaster but then again a hyper could probably sit well in that area. Now the Intamin vs B&M deal, it seems like our B&M will keep it's place in Kings Island with the great successes of Diamondback and other coaster placed in a rather excellent post Paramount park, Canada's Wonderland. Overall, I would like to get a B&M invert for the area, it would fit rather nice with the terrain and the park itself. As long as I get an excellent coaster, I'm good!

TyRush Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Now i just followed KI twitter page yesterday to follow hints and they said "Today's the day" this morning! Now i dont know if an event is going on or are the announcing the ride?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think they are talking at track arrival, or maybe an announcement date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmullin Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I don't think it is the announcement of the ride, don't most parks make their attraction announcements in late August or early Septemeber? But I certainly hope this is the ride announcement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I went through their Tweets looking for clues to what els today could be and came across this: This Friday night's Soak City Dive-In Movie is Monsters, Inc. Included free with park admission. This Tweet was from Tuesday, so they might mean this event since it is happening today. I do not believe they're announcing the ride now, I guess we need to wait a month for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah its for a Snoopy Cure for Cancer event. So no announcements yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Regarding that green piece of track at Claremont. According to screamscape, this is likely a flawed piece of track originally intended for the wingrider Flying Over the Rainforest. It was put directly on the asphalt without any wood to keep it from scraping the ground so it is likely scrap steel. There is still the matter if the grey, unpainted twisty bits of track that were outside recently but seen to be missing (likely in the paint shop) that project is still unknown. Im going to agree with many of you, I wouldn't expect an announcement during peak season, likely towards the end of summer they'll let the banshee.. I mean cat out of the bag to draw attention to the 2014 season. They are having a lot of fun teasing us on Twitter... But I will be slowly eating my snickers bar in the meantime. Props to KI for not leaking this coaster by now. Remember, anticipation is part of the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Having ridden Wild Eagle last week...I'm hoping for a wing rider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Remember, anticipation is part of the fun. But not nearly as fun as listening to all the complaints once the ride is announced. Remember Diamondback was announced on August 6, 2008... but if I'd have to guess this will be announced the second half of August going off of Cedar Fair's trends the past few seasons.
