Starting to Decode 2014
I talked to a very nice older lady who was working in Action Zone a couple weeks ago. When she saw me peering over the fence she said I could get a much better view from the tower. She told me that she knew one of the contractors building what ever it is and because of this she knew what was going to be built but could not share it with me because it was not worth losing her job. She did say that they would not be able to keep it a secret much longer because it would be pretty obvious. I remarked that it looked like it could be a roller coaster and she just smiled. I know that is not really any new information but her unwillingness to share and the fact that she was older lead me to believe what she told me was true. I had to re-read this - I thought you said PEEING over the fence. That would put a whole new spin on what the older lady was talking about.......better from the tower.......I know the contractors......kind enough not to share what she knows......wouldn't be able to keep it a secret much longer......what Cougars say is true! Oh my... I could not stop laughing, Hank. Couldn't stop for a looong time.

Ferris wheels
There's also two Ferris wheels proposed to be taller than this. A NYC developer hopes to open a 630 foot wheel by 2015 on Staten Island. Meanwhile, a 688 foot wheel is proposed for, of course, Dubai. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/dubai-plans-outdo-staten-island-race-world-biggest-ferris-wheel-article-1.1265536

Just curious, what makes you think Dollywood is being secret? They do have a huge teaser banner that pretty much confirms it as a launched coaster. Of course, this could be a B&M since they have been working on a launched coaster. In which case it would be very interesting to pay attention to.

Starting to Decode 2014
Every time I try to think of what I think this ride will be I get sidetracked in a super uber awesome fantasy idea of mine. Giga-Dive Coaster. It just has some sort of ring of amazingness to it. And of course my mind took it even farther and imagined a loop over 200 feet. While I realize this is unlikely, I can't get it out of my mind and I feel that someday this MUST come into existence.

Intamin vs. B&M is exactly what BoddaH1994 had in mind when he started this topic, isn't it?

As much as I do love the angle of that photo, I do hope I never see an updated one due to the high danger of bringing out a camera on top of DT.

Something New Coming (Not in SOB's Area)
It might just be because I'm not used to seeing it, but I think the black looks absolutely terrible. Other than that, I can't say anything without seeing what the new fountains do.

Early Signs of 2014 Expansion?
So you're saying there's a chance? Well, I don't ever want to say something sounding completely certain, when really none of us have much of a clue as to what is going in.

Early Signs of 2014 Expansion?
That's it! This is not a new attraction for 2014, but one for September 2013. Now would be a perfect time to start building a wild mouse. Announcement: Kings Island is excited to announce that we are constructing a brand new spooky themed family coaster that will open for this year's Halloween Haunt festivities and remain open season long. (In all seriousness, this is definitely a very cool idea, though I am 99% sure it wouldn't happen.)

Which Coaster needs a paint job?
The Racer needs desperately to be repainted for like the last five years now. I wish for it to return to its 1972 colors. I also think it would be cool if they divided the station into colors, meaning everything that is currently red on the blue side should be painted blue. Also, they need to finish Invertigo's paint job by painting everything left that is red/yellow into blue. Especially the entrance sign.

Haunt Thoughts 2013
Please, can we not start talk about Haunt until we at least get a month into the season? This really is WAY too early.

When did you join KICentral?
My enthusiast side actually did not even show up until KI announced Diamondback. I became very interested and googled many questions, most of which went to this site. Eventually, I started going directly to this site and made an account in July 2010. I posted very infrequently and actually just this week decided to post more frequently. Also, I now find my name very cheesy and untrue(largely because of KI Enthusiast Dude). I am waiting for it to be changed to rcwizard13.

New Attraction 2014 Poll
I think this path would be a great idea! You'd just have to place shops/food outlets along it so guests can be trapped into spending money. Or perhaps you could place a stage along the side of it that could host a Luminosity style show. Also, it could host Blood Drums in October to prevent that terrible congestion. Never mind. After thinking about it, I decided it would really ruin AE's atmosphere. And Terp... He's really bugging me with all this sign talk. It might as well as me a bunch of clown talk to me. I'll just wait for a clear sign.

School Disapointments
At my high school, which I know is the second biggest in Ohio, no matter which grade you are in (9-12), you will go to Kings Island depending on the classes you are in. Usually being Math and Science classes. Also, in my middle school the entire eighth grade would go.
