I've been reading this forum for years but this is my first time posting. I thought it might be interesting to post our official predictions of the new attraction in 2014 before any reliable information leaks out. Lets see if anybody gets well anything correct. Try to keep any predictions limited to something that may actually be built (ie no 600ft hyperstrato coasters with 26 inversions) Add any categories you feel necessary in your prediction.

Here's mine:

Type: B&M Floorless

Height: 170ft

Inversions: 6

Track color: Tan

Support color: Dark green

Theme: Dinosaurs (this prediction has nothing to do with my screen name. Just thought it would be a tie-in with Dinosaurs Alive)

There's already a thread on this. Its called "Starting to Decode 2014".

^That thread is about decoding teasers - or at least it was. It would be nice, in my opinion, to have guesses diverted to another thread (this one.)

ZacSpin where they are currently placing footers and a GCI in the other two clearings.

Or...

See the actual 'Banshee' rendering I uncovered via my stealthsuit in my avatar.

Thanks Crypt. That's what I was thinking when I started this. Decoding 2014 is turning into real news and rumors. This is just predictions.

Mine would be....

Type- B&M Invert

Height-220'

Drop- 235'

Inversions- 6

Track Color- YellowIsh green

Supports- Almost white with lift hill supports red

Theme- how does one theme a Strata-Soar?

Yes I know strata implies 400' + but doesn't have to.

Mine would be....

Wow I was thinking the same thing. A play on words with "soar" and Dino"saur". Great minds think alike I guess.

Type: B&M Giga

Height: 306'

Inversions: 0

Track Color: Blue

Theme: Bigfoot (lol).

Not kidding, though, I think we'll be getting something similar to Leviathan.

Actually 325'

315' drop.

Tallest traditional roller coaster in the world.

Type: B&M Dive

Height: 270'+

Inversions: 4

Track color: Grey/Supports dark green

Theme: ?

Length: 4500' +

Hoping to see a Dive Coaster, one taller and faster than Griffon would be pretty amazing, plus these coasters provide a unique intimate view, if done right, for the guests and those waiting in line. With the 45 degree lift and turnaround into vertical drop it's all up close to view.

I like your theme of "?". Knowing Cedar Fair's history I'd say this is really the most likely outcome.

I can take no credit for that name as Cedar Fair trademarked it before the WindSeekers.

B&M

308 feet or taller.

This coaster is going to involve Guinness, and I'm not talking about the stout.

Then I'm not interested.

Collin, ironically drinking a Guinness with lunch.

305 foot B&M Giga.

300 foot drop.

90MPH.

It will have a beautiful entrance plaza and sign.

No guess on the name or theme.

DBI's New Ride 2014 Prediction:

"Son of Der Spinning Keggers"

309ft+ coaster

309ft- drop

Green track and white supports

94mph

Second longest Coaster in the Park

station overlooking the entire AZ

a 180 degree clockwise turn towards the lift hill

Mine would be....

I feel its a good idea. But I don't think I could really take it seriously. I think it would be a great 'kiddie' ride, but at this point I just want a coaster.

B&M

325 feet tall

345 foot drop

105 MPH

5 inversions

1 Immelmann loop (tallest in the world)

7,032 feet long

Manufacturer: B&M

Height: 361 feet tall, peak of lift hill to ground immediately below

Vertical drop: 405 feet, due to the wide variation in terrain in that area

Top speed: 112 mph

Inversions: None

Length: Whatever is needed to bring the world record for longest roller coaster back to KI (I don't feel like looking it up right now)

Theme: Roller coaster

I dont remember if it was something someone on here posted or if it was something someone from Kings Island posted (Maybe both) about the skyline (not the chili) looking so much different this season. I think it would be something big enough to give us that amazing skyline back. I know most people are saying Giga 300+ feet which would be great, but I'll go bold and say, How about the worlds largest stand up roller coaster? Paying respect to the King Cobra.

Type: B&M Giga

Height: 290 ft.

Drop Height: 290 ft.

Top Speed: 115 MPH

Inversions: None

Length: 1,720 ft.

How can a giga coaster be 290' tall?

And how can a 290 foot coaster do 115 mph unless it is powered?

308 ft

B&M

No inversions

Banshee

B & M inverter

200 lift hill

220 drop

7 inversions

Final inversion over the top of AZ (over where water tower was)

The Banshee (illegitimate spawn of Son of Beast)

b and m dive machine or hyper.

209 foot tall lift

204 foot drop

72 mph

4200 feet long

splashdown ending

red track yellow supports

reptile cage or mustang

oh, forgot its 2013. those days still haunt me.

Ow! Might be a bit painful, eh?

If designed right, probably not. I know the ride was moved and park shut down, but when KK had Chang, it was not that bad or painful. It was actually fun.

Type: B&M Giga

Height: 290 ft.

Drop Height: 290 ft.

Top Speed: 115 MPH

Inversions: None

Keeping my fingers crossed that you're right about the theme and name.
