Fortunately, Cedar Point offers fantastic coasters like Magnum XL-200, Maverick, Raptor and Blue Streak, while Millennium Force draws many out of what otherwise would be their lines.

^^Same. The legend seems incredibly underrated in my opinion, and the voyage is just insane.

As for Millennium Force, I see how people do not like it as much, as I am in the same boat, but it is still a fantastic ride. I'd just put it at 8 or 9 overall, behind such rides as Maverick, Banshee, Diamondback, Thunderbird, and Raptor, just to name a few.

Sorry to double post, but I saw this on KI's Instagram

Think it has any importance to the project?

Opinions are like...

What some enjoy others don't care for.

Just glad we have these two parks nearby with a decent variety of coasters!

No its just the water tower for the train. I don't think everything posted is a hint about what is coming.[emoji2]

Petticoat Junction?

There's now markings on the EAST side of DBack and along railroad bridge.

Accually I thought the water tower was just for show until I saw the train use it this year. Funny how no matter how many times you go to the park. You look over little things like that.

...I'm not into mere speed. For me, negative g's, strong laterals and great pacing make a roller coaster. Millennium Force has a nice view.

This is why I also don't get Voyage. At all. I'd rather ride a tricycle down a gentle hill. Raven is much more my style.

Or El Toro. Beast.

....

Laat I checked, Voyage has negative gs, laterals (maybe not as much as Legend or Beast, but it's definitely there), and IMO it has great pacing too.

You are allowed to despise the ride, but doesnt the ride check all the points you just said make a coaster? It has speed too (like El Toro, which you prefer); not mere speed.

Confused.

 

Of all the coasters I have ridden, Millennium Force is, for me, somewhere near the bottom. Great view. Nice first drop.

But Millennium Forceless? I prefer Mean Streak, of which I am decidedly not a fan.

I concur with you on Millennium Force. However, I respectfully disagree on Voyage, my favorite coaster out of 132 ridden

It definitely has negative g's with it's 20 plus seconds of airtime! I also feel solid laterals on it. Now pacing, maybe I can see your beef there. To me it's like being on a bucking bronco and you might not feel like you're really traveling in any particular direction. It's just chaos, especially the second half.

I'm different than most coaster fans in that I like Legend better than Raven.

 

Wow... that is exactly my opinion! I like Legend better than Raven also and The Voyage is my #1....

Could you see very many?

Awesome find that very interesting thanks

I thin that's kind of the saving grace of Millennium Force for me. It has a strong line up to support it. It's a nice coaster for views and speed but overall find it rather dull, but still enjoyable. But have others like Maverick for intensity and Magnum for airtime and hills. So with all the other options for coasters to ride and experiences it doesn't really feel so much like it is lacking as you can still get those experiences elsewhere in the park. Just not something I will wait in a long line for but fun ride in itself.

Just hope if/when we get a giga it will be a more complete experience.

Do you have a link to the tweet? Was it posted by @KingsIslandPR

The pictures are posted by Dan Glauser. https://twitter.com/GlauserDan13/status/754696397505560576 for the Diamondback tree removal and https://twitter.com/GlauserDan13/status/754697029847281665 for the bridge tweet. 

 

 

Personally am thinking that these have nothing to do with Project 2017 or at least the coaster part of it. 

Thanks gforce1994 and Logan Goddard for the info!! Much appreciated. In the picture with DB is that trees marked back behind for removal?

Very interesting!

Wow, they've really got it cleaned up!

First lift/ big hill area!

^I agree, they are really working hard on the clear out. Would like to see an aerial shot of it all, that would be nice.

 I agree. It might really start showing the layout. Who has got a drone that lives near KI? (just kidding....that would get you arrested fast)

There's a nice pano of the construction site floating around social media. It's a huge clearing.

Sorry to double post, but trees are now down by the bridge and behind WWC.

I really think this will be either a very big coaster or a gigantic expansion of the park. Why would they be clearing anything east of DB. Just my opinion and feeling. No facts or rumors of it. I'm happy anytime something is added to the park.

I still have a lil hope for a Giga coaster with the name King Cobra stamped on it.

But will be happy with whatever is added.

Also thanks Stashua123 for the pictures

 What are you calling "behind" in reference to WWC?  The bottom of this pic? We already had reports of clearance around WWC first big turn a day or two ago.

 

 

Maybe the railroad bridge is coming down for replacement? Is it steel or wood? Original to the park? Maybe the train will be rerouted to a more peaceful wooded area?

The King Cobra name would be cool.

But only if it was the actual KC.

That ain't happenin.......

 They are clearing area East of Diamondback? When did this happen?
