July 19, 201610 yr At the park and saw this on the sign out front! So exciting. I can't wait until we know for sure what's happening. And I still really like the idea of the Splintercat name. 9 more days! Sent from my LGL33L using Tapatalk
July 19, 201610 yr I really do like the name Splintercat but the ax throws me off, it could obviously just be a nod to a wooden coaster but I think it is more then that. Another name I would love to see again would be "Big Bad Wolf", It was traditionally in a mythical forest and killed by a woodcutter with his ax, but I doubt we will see that name get used again.
July 19, 201610 yr Honestly, Splintercat sounds perfect for the area, especially the teaser. The Axe could mean it's power to knock down branches.
July 19, 201610 yr You know Sasquatch can definitely knock down some branches and it always seems to be sighted in the most timber/lumberjack type areas. I would think a coaster called Sasquatch would have to be huge though. There is a Sasquatch Drop Tower, but not a coaster.
July 19, 201610 yr If this is a family coaster I don't think Splintercat has promise. "Hey son, let's go ride Splintercat!, it's the new wood coaster!" "Nah, I hate getting splinters".
July 19, 201610 yr Hearing Splintercat just makes me think of how cool it would be if they used Bearcat.
July 19, 201610 yr What about the "time to roll out the barrels" clue... Or however it went. Think the coaster will have barrel rolls? Im baffled when it comes to the name. I really feel that Timber will be in it. But it's all ok because I'll know in just over 9 days Sent from the future while riding #KIProject2017 using Tapatalk
July 19, 201610 yr Bearcat would be cool knowing the area of the park this ride will most likely be in (Rivertown), but something in me believes this will be another folklore name that may or may not relate to the cutting of trees. The ax is more of an indication of what the coaster type will be in my opinion.

July 19, 201610 yr Did the Banshee name get leaked before the announcement? Any chance this name gets leaked?

July 19, 201610 yr So I would like to post a video from this weekend relevant to this thread is there a way to do so without making another account somewhere(like YouTube)? Sent from the future while riding #KIProject2017 using Tapatalk
July 19, 201610 yr I can not wait to see what this is going to be! I love this time of year in Ohio haha!!! I hope its big. I hope its fast and I hope it scares the hell outta me the first time riding it!
July 19, 201610 yr If anyone has any suggestions on Carowinds please let me know!! Is it as busy as Cedar Point.? Will I be waiting in line for ever? haha
July 19, 201610 yr If anyone has any suggestions on Carowinds please let me know!! Is it as busy as Cedar Point.? Will I be waiting in line for ever? hahaCarowinds lines are nothing like Cedar Point. They are on average, shorter than King's Island. I went opening weekend and the weather was wonderful, 45 minutes was the longest line. That was for Fury. Afterburn was pretty much a walk on all weekend, lines aren't bad there. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Combine your three posts into one if you are talking about same subject. Paragraphs work as well as posts do not have titles.

July 19, 201610 yr The nature taking over and all of the logging hints don't really mesh. I wonder if the "backstory" of the ride is that while clearing some trees out at King's Island the loggers unearthed some beast/ force of nature, or something along those lines. Otherwise, the hints are somewhat contradictory.
