I know it only says attraction so i hope everyone doesn't drop off the deep end again when this isn't the coaster announcement that they are expecting!

Very interesting to know that it will be world record breaking. Maybe the tallest and fastest, possibly longest invert?

If this is going to be an invert which I hope it is, I would like to see tallest, fastest, most inversions for a invert.

Who wants to bet that they will be announcing the worlds largest chicken dance!

so 10PM is a great time if you want to hit a live news feed at 10 and enough time to get an edited package together for an 11pm broadcast.

August 8th! Just got a text that they will unveil it on August 8th! So I guess "day this summer" did mean it won't be announced in the day time.

I'm like a page late. Wow.

Ahhh!!! Aug 8th!!! Im excited!!!

i got it in the middle of my dentist appointment

I bet you jumped up and your dentist thought you crazy.

Finally. After the announcement and subsequent whining from Intamin fanboys, this thread will calm down some.

I don't think anybody thought that meant it would be a night announcement...well played Don, well played.

Wow! Looks like Kings Island just can't resist record breaking roller coasters.....

On another note....This is exciting news...It will be more exciting on the 8th....

I know they don't normally do this but I hope they live stream the announcement.

I assume that this announcement will be open to the public but haven't heard any confirmation? Don?

You know what they say about people who assume...

I thought people who followed this thread from the beginning thought it would either be a night announcement or a multiple day announcement. A few thought after the summer though.

Presumably, it is a night time announcement because it will play into the whole Banshee, scary field with "scarecrows" and owls and haunting noise things (and maybe camping)? Seems to all tie together so far.

I should of rephrased that I didn't think it would he announced at night.

The date and time were sent, along with "Save the Date", to anyone who subscribed to "KI Club" updates. That's a pretty safe assumption.

Since it is for a world record breaking coaster, am I wrong to get my hopes up?

It is amazing how many people had no idea that Kings Island was even building a ride. People on twitter are tweeting "Huh?" and "I hope it is a new coaster." Are people that oblivious to the big huge construction site where SOB used to stand? Man I lose hope in humanity more and more everyday...

"KI: SAVE THE DATE! Kings Island will unveil plans for a new world record-breaking attraction Thursday, August 8 at 10pm."

Edit: Sorry.. Haven't read my pages yes this morning..

Just checking because of the events as of late...don't want anyone to be there that's not supposed to be!

Most people don't look at KI or Amusement Parks as we do. We notice every change and think its something big. Imagine something that you don't obsess about. You probably wouldn't notice a change like what's going on at KI.

The Enquirer has an article about the announcement: August 8th.

I know, it was already mentioned....so I give credit to others. But just wanted to post a link to the article: http://masonbuzz.com/2013/07/31/kings-island-to-announce-world-record-breaking-attraction/
