ytterbiumanalyst Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 inside source saying another coaster is coming! no further details. As much as I want to believe you, I'm sure you know that saying you have "inside sources" doesn't really go over well here. trust me my inside source always comes through! I'm cautiously optimistic. Considering that the original statement is in no way falsifiable, I'm calling BS. Another coaster is coming...yeah, probably, at some indeterminate point in the future, one will be built there. This is a meaningless statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Are we counting Super Loops as coasters, since this used to be a Six Flags park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 ^^Thing is, I remember hearing about a year ago that they were looking into getting one at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVA62 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Kanonen 2018 transplant CONFIRMED!!! I know this is a joke, but god would I love to have this here. An Intamin an hour away? Yes please. It would fit nicely with their low height restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasBaby Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Glad to see this park doing so well. I'm thinking about making my first trip to the park next year after the awesome additions they've made over the last few seasons. Agreed, with LR and SC, this is a park that I definitely need to check out. My wife's sister just moved to Louisville, so I will hopefully be paying KK a visit next year!

Rabbit_in_Red Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Screamscape is saying a new coaster for 2018, and Hart himself has mentioned having spoken with RMC about a new coaster...so, there's that. Given his desire to have another B&M, perhaps a "B&M like" T-Rex track based coaster is in the works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestreak Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Well an announcement *is* coming at some point. Can't wait to find out what it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 ^That's exciting! I'm definitely planning on getting a pass and visiting the park more next year, with or without an exciting new addition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSkysTheLimit Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I've noticed that there is something going on behind the Rapids River Ride which can be seen from certain parts of Phillips Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraybyDefault Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I've noticed that there is something going on behind the Rapids River Ride which can be seen from certain parts of Phillips Lane. I've noticed that too. The main bit of work I've see is where the old Top Eliminator Dragsters used to be. I can't wait to see what they add! My guess is that spot looks perfect for a Zamperla 'Disk’O Coaster'. About the right size and shape of land. They could count it as a coaster (ugh) which bumps their coaster count.

KBrylczyk Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 2017 announcement coming soon? Looks like it won't be anything big, unfortunately. Maybe it'll be a flat ride package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting thought. Those Disko coasters are fun. Kings Island has one, and Holiday World doesn't, which is honestly an advantage in KK's favour. They're never going to be as big as KI, so they're going to stay focused on HW, and gaining an edge on them in the thrill ride category can help keep some Louisvillians in town.

I know I am going to get backlash for this but me and my wife much much prefer KK over HW. A disco would make there already better flat ride selection even better!

prozach626 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 They're never going to be as big as KI. Never say never. SFSTL vs Holiday World. Rewind 15 years. Then, envision 15 years into the future. I'm not trying to start an argument. Just something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you have a different opinion? Preposterous! In all honesty, I like HW better, but I like both of them a lot. Last year I went to HW but not KK. This year I did the opposite, and next year I'm going to try to go them both. I think you can't go wrong, whichever one you choose. They're never going to be as big as KI. Never say never. SFSTL vs Holiday World. Rewind 15 years. Then, envision 15 years into the future. I'm not trying to start an argument. Just something to think about. That's a fair point. They are growing quite fast and acting like they absolutely want to compete with HW and KI. Lightning Run and Storm Chaser are absolutely players. Add to that a killer waterpark, a well themed rapids ride, and a bunch of good flats, and it's hard to argue against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneH Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Their biggest problem though is that they have very minimal room to expand and height restrictions as compared to KI and HW who both have tons of room to expand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 They built Lightning Run and Storm Chaser. I'm not really worried about height restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
