I don't really like posting about rumors of new coasters but I saw something on Opening Day to make me curious. By the Skyline Chili in the park (by the front entrance) there is a store called Thrillseekers. In one of the windows there are a ton of Diamondback shirts hanging up. But on a stand in front of it there is a (yellow?) model of an inverted coaster. There was no name or any revelance to the Diamondback apparel hanging behind it. It was just there. I didn't get a picture but did anyone else see this?

I saw this on Saturday night. This is a standard model from a model making business called CoasterDynamix. If I were going to bet on it, I'd say this is not hinting towards a new coaster like this model. It's basically just an advertisement.

This was there last year.

I think it has been there since 08.

Zach Branstetter – What roller coaster model is in the window for display at Thrill Seekers? Is this an idea for a future design? 

 Zach, the model on display is of an existing coaster. It’s not an idea for a future design. We have a couple of different coaster models at the park. I will find out which one we currently have on display. Zach, just walked by Thrill Seekers and the model on display is one that the company that makes the models created.

I remember seeing it since 08. 

Indeed, they are in fact selling those Scorpion models by CoasterDynamix. They were available at the park for the same price as on the CoasterDynamix website. Now that the inverted trains are being remolded, I believe there is a LIMITED supply of these models at KI.

Suggestion, buy a Diamondback statix, a Phoenix model from CoasterDynamix, switch the wheels from the Phoenix train to the Diamondback train and take out the inversions on the Phoenix and you have a working Diamondback themed model.

In Milford, in a shop called the Coolest Toys on Earth, they have the very same model in the window.

Yeah as I recall Diamondback was in there in 08 and that has been there since 09..... thats what i believe.

the Diamondback model would have never fit in the front window of thrill seekers. Diamondback's model was located in the glass viewing area that's underneath the international street restaurant, beside the main entrance, while the scorpion model has been in both the front window of thrill seekers and the little gift shop, just to the right of the main entrance.

That ride would be awesome to fit in X-Base

I love looking at the model, even if it is just a fantasy!

YES. A B&M Invert right next to Firehawk? Yummy.

Where the wild did that come from?

^ That's my hope for the park's next coaster!

Oh! OK. I was thinking you didn't even read anything and just said that. Gotcha.

i don't know how long you all have been going to Kings Island and posting on this site but i remember seeing that sign when i was ten- and im thirteen!!!

Just asking

I think you are incorrect, I don't think that has been their three years. No offense Alex.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

KI FANATIC 37, that model has been around a while

No thanks. In terms of steel, I can usually only deal with B&M's and Intamin's. .

Can I ask how you can call yourself a coaster enthusiast when you only like steel coasters made by two manufacturers?

And don't forget ChanceMorgan! There is still force in their rides! At least one of their rides is quite the wild thing.

Because it's his opinion.

Not to mention there are those who post here who do not consider themselves coaster enthusiasts, and haven't for years.

Me, for instance...

This is sort of off topic, but where can you buy full length coatsers from coaster dynamix?Are there only 2 or 3 models, or am I not seeing something on their website.

When was the last time that Chance Morgan installed a major new coaster? The best I can tell, the last major coaster to come out of Morgan (prior to their merger with Chance Rides) was Quiksilver Express at Gilroy Gardens out in California. It seems that Chance Rides (according to RCDB) has made a few kiddy coasters a few years back.

I`d say the four major steel coaster manufacturers today are Vekoma, B&M, Intamin and Premier Rides. There are of course smaller companies like Mack that typically make smaller more portable type rides like Wild Mouse rides.

And don't forget ChanceMorgan! There is still force in their rides! At least one of their rides is quite the wild thing.

I get that lol

I love how Morgan rides classify there roller coasters

Does being a coaster enthusiast mean I have to like all companies that make them?

I said usually by the way. I'm really not in the mood for you to nitpick through my comments. Thanks.
