Perhaps you meant horrific?

Yep - horrific. Not sure why I thought of the word horrid. Oh well.

It's okay. Now, I understand. And agree.

Can we stay on topic here please...

Back on topic (and be me, even)....

Has there been any mention of CF's budget for 2014? Also, along with thar, a beginning breakdown of where those funds are going?

A totally new style/design of coaster would mean big bucks. How much have these new wing riders cost? How much was that Formula One contraption in Dubai?

Do the math - it could be a clue. (I know i'd be wailing for having to spend that kind of dough)

Capex is generally not broken down publicly park by park fundswise, and certainly not before ride announcements in any event.

Didn't know - hence, the words "has there been".

Apparently that we have a new moderator?

Or a member who hasn't seen the "Let the moderators do the moderating" posts here YET.

I don't have any additional information but it would be nice to limit necessary and non-necessary posts. When do we think KI might make an announcement? Based on previous reveals...

Hank, if memory serves me correctly, somwhere in the neighborhood of 20 - 25 million was reserved for Gatekeeper.

It's actually a very good question and a baramoter for what one can expect. I have not heard any details about the specific budgets for 2014.

Why would YOU want to limit necessary posts?

My head hurts.

As to your question, typically mid-August.

I'm sorry, this topic is getting stressful!!!!!

]I don't have any additional information but it would be nice to limit necessary and non-necessary posts. When do we think KI might make an announcement? Based on previous reveals...

So you believe previous reveals will clue us in? What information are you providing?

Aside from that, relax man. Have fun with this stuff. Much knowledge can be learned from getting off the beaten path. What you believe to be "unnecessary" is simply your opinion.

It could be a long summer!

Anticipation...is making (you) wait!

At least you will have this wonderful park within easy driving distance, while I'll have to settle for Great Adventure, Dorney, BGW, KD and/or SFA.

Provided I'm still here this time next year, and not somewhere else! At least Great Adventure's getting...uh...never mind! (Hi, Don...almost had a diversion there).

Here are my construction photos from today

Sigh. Why can't I see them? Is it a video?

Terp, tiring of iComputers.

It's a Flickr slideshow, which uses Flash.

I can't see them either. I'm on an iPad so I switched from Safari to Puffin that will allow me to view flash and still nothing..

Sorry about that Terp. I didn't want to post 11 different photos. This link should work for you: KI Construction 5/29

Hank, if memory serves me correctly, somwhere in the neighborhood of 20 - 25 million was reserved for Gatekeeper.

I thought I had read somewhere what the 2014 budget was - but I was wrong. My bad!

I just received the FUN annual report and nothing is broken down financially by parks. 25M is probably within shouting distance; but that is a guess on my part.

Nice pictures! Wish we could fly over the wall and beg for clues from those construction workers! Oh and by the way I saw KI tweet you earlier. cx

Gatekeeper was $25 to $30 million: http://www.sanduskyregister.com/article/cedar-point/2373156

Think back to the old teasers for Diamondback, does anyone else remember signs saying something like "37 Years in the Making". Kings Island just spent 22 Million on a coaster four years ago, its biggest investment to date(this is an actual question>) does anyone think that KI will spend another huge investment on a ride that would have the possibility of out shining the fairly new "Largest, fasest and meanest coaster ever to strike Kings Island"?

Beast was longer, and still is.

And Diamondback mean? A B&M? Really?

You gotta love park marketing.

You go with what you got.

Ride, Sally, Ride!

Thanks. I decided to have some fun with the "through the fence" shots this time around. I was actually surprised by that tweet. I use the mobile app Foursquare to check-in at each ride, and that account gets mentioned everytime someone checks in there (Foursquare is designed to be very appealing to businesses), so I guess he saw that I was checking in all over the park and decided to say hi

I've been using Foursquare for years now and this is the first time he's tweeted at me

Or a trailer tower...

Is it time to move back in?

Things may have gotten a bit out of control with the trailer tower...

And something about Mountain Dew. That turned out...different.

Thanks for letting us non-Flashers see, too.

Nice pictures of....it.

I've heard little about other CF theme parks and possible new attractions... Is any other CF parks showing signs of new attraction(s) (for 2014), or just KI at the moment?
