Yes, lol. Gave me a good laugh.

Interesting little tweet out of Don.

I honestly can’t wait for announcement day. The hype is real.

Yeah, it definitely seems like the ampersand helix from Shambhala.

It’s posted on r/rollercoasters.

Banshee was August 8th, 2013 Mystic Timbers was July 28th, 2016 I imagine we will see an announcement around that time.

Surprise, John Matarese was the secret leaker all along. I’m kidding, lol. In all honesty, I don’t know what to believe anymore.

It really is. Just very odd that the leak would come so suddenly right after the blueprints were released.

Very good point.

Yes, I would like that.

No, I am not forgetting that. It’s pretty clear Toronto is massive, I think everyone knows that. All I was saying was that Kings Island draws in a lot more then just the city limits of Cincinnati.

Never said they haven’t invested in it, I just said that I’m happy to see it..

To be honest, I’m just happy to see Cedar Fair do another investment in the park. I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t wait for announcement day.

The population in the city limits doesn’t tell nearly the whole story. Kings Island draws a lot of people from Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Lexington.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they went a couple degrees steeper than the other two B&M giga’s, as it would give them more room to make it taller.

Judging by the lack of inversions on that leaked layout (although they could just not be visible) I think it’s probably safe to assume it will be a B&M Hyper/Giga model.

You’re fine. My head hurts just trying to keep up with everything.

I never said a Giga was confirmed once, all I have said was that it would be odd for Cedar Fair to get another one that would be smaller (based upon that layout) and still very costly. Please reread my posts.

We don’t. It’s an educated guess based upon the cost of the other two B&M gigas. Leviathan was 28 million US dollars Fury 325 was 30 million US dollars One can only assume a new one would be a similar price.

With everything in mind, it just seems really weird for Cedar Fair to go from Millennium Force and Intimidator 305 to Leviathan and Fury 325 to essentially a scaled up version of Diamondback for 30 million dollars.

I know. As soon as the blueprints are released, somebody comes and immediately posts a layout that they quickly delete right after. Just seems odd to me.

It’s a interesting layout, don’t get me wrong, and although we could be going for Diamondback 2: Electric Boogaloo, something just seems odd about all this to me.

I have rode it, and I love it. For me, it’s all about the elements included on Dragster, which in its case is the top hat and the spiral drop. Again, the layout is a pretty important part of a ride, as shown in this case. Not sure where the disconnect is on that for you.

The layout is a pretty massive part of a ride though.

Definitely, you have 4 B&M wing coasters within a 360 mile radius of Kings Island. GateKeeper, Thunderbird, Wild Eagle, and X-Flight.
