You know, back in the day, you waited until the park put these out in the spring to find out what the new ride was....

I always looked for that 1st commercial that aired every spring it was always exciting!!

Once upon a time they had part of the ride sitting by the front entrance to give you a glimpse.  I distinctly remember the rafts from WWC out front one season (may have been during winterfest), perhaps part of a King Cobra train as well.

Yes, this is the Clear Channel location.

I remember the King Cobra Trains!! Very cool!!

 

Curious?? This is heading north on 71 between 275 and KI.

I'm fairly certain that is heading south, past western row.  That building on the left is fairly new, w/n the last couple of years.  But yes, b/w KI & 275

 

Yep, sorry I saw the water tower on the right, there is a similar building on the left as you are heading north. lol

Crossing fingers the car references were for Antique Cars!

I know Snapchat is mostly used by the younger generation, but you would think that an official KI social media post would capitalize Kings Island.

Good grief.... FB, Twitter, Snapchat, blah blah blah... who can keep up with all 10 of the social media outlets the park is using? Us old folks aren't as savvy as you youngins....  LOL ;-)

And a big thanks to everyone who is re-posting the content here for those of us who can't keep up!      Very much appreciated !! 

 

I opened a Snapchat account just for this reason.  Other than reading KI's Snapchats, I still have no idea how to use it!

Is the RSVP for the event only for media outlets or can folks like us participate?

....TheBEASTunchained..... Asking a serious question......

So the question is, will the public be able to attend this announcement, or is it for working media only?

An awfully late announcement for a Thursday.  Interesting.

Thursday 7/28 at 10pm.

That looks like a '64 pickup they are using...the year that Kings Island was conceived (according to Wikipedia)...Origins????

I would say the public would be allowed since it is at 10PM. Same thing they did with Banshee. 

Yeah, not sure if the 64 chev is a real reference or just a "logging truck"

But that is not guaranteed until the park confirms it.  Past precedents does not always ring true for future events.

So I wonder if city of mason has the actual blueprints of the ride that the announcement is next Thursday

Wish I lived near Mason I'm 100 miles away

So, nature is taking over, yet they are cutting down more trees, and removing wilderness? I don't get it. lol

I'm 270 miles away...

Of course I work 5pm-1am that day...

I would imagine that this has to be a major thrill ride. This is getting teased more than Banshee was. That is the reason I am on team RMC. I think it will break the inversion record or something. Like I have said before. I trust Rob Decker (except Valravn, but alteast it looks great).
