The Giga Speculation Thread

Featured Replies

Not only does the #GoCommando  have a nice ring to it. I don't think it would generate unnecessary hype like #WhatsInTheShed either.

    Let me restate my last post. We are done with B&M vs Intamin.  It adds nothing to this thread. Any further posts will be removed.

  • To summarize the last 30 pages for those who don't want to read them: Intamin! No, B&m. No, Intamin. No B&M. But I reallllllllllllllllllly want an Intamin cause reasons. No, they break do

#GoCommando  - The only coaster that does not require under britches!

They could combine the ad campaigns and use it to say find out #what'sintheshed when you go #commando at Kings Island 

Bahahahahahahahahaha I hope so too. I know we are enthusiasts but have some manors! 

Here was my take on a shirt design. Obviously, The Kings Island® Logo belongs to Kings Island. Of course, the Giga hasn't even been confirmed so its all speculation with the date and term "Go Commando". I just quickly made the shirt using "Custom Ink".GO Comando.JPG

Not gonna lie, it'd be fun to wear those shirts @Xdog42 around the park without the official KI logo, but a simple "logo" that says Kings Island just to get people talking.

I would buy the #MVSA shirt!!

I just recently created an Instagram page where I sell a ton of amusement park gear so if you're interested I can make a shirt like that!

Nice shirts! But what if (even though it's sorta unlikely at this point) it said #kiproject2019 that would be amazing if it came for 2019! 2021 would be nice so I could take my college buddies to Kings Island to ride Commando!

Just would like something different.  Underwhelmed with leviathan and other b&m hypers.  Have not ridden fury yet.  Prefer millennium and I305 gigas.

I agree that Leviathan was pretty weak compared to others but Fury seems to be superior. Hopefully they'll just get better

I hope you guys are just messing around on the whole Go Commando thing. I hope you guys know what Go Commando actually means.

We know. That's why there were jokes about it.

HAHA, Lets Go Commando at Soak City. As long as you stay in the water, you're fine... until people start focusing on your swimsuit (in the situation where you have no swimsuit on...)

Hahaha^^ I am not sure anyone wants to see this

Hope the giga is not a b&m.

Me 2!!!!

I do think there's a very high probability that a giga coaster is coming to Kings Island within the next few seasons.

The odds of the giga being anything other than a B&M are close to zero though.  Cedar Fair hasn't worked with Intamin in years.  Mack has yet to go anywhere near 300'.  Cedar Fair isn't going to spend $30 million on a project of this magnitude without knowing exactly what they're getting.  Leviathan and Fury 325 and the smaller B&M megas like Diamondback have been enormous hits for their respective parks.  A B&M giga at Kings Island would have a strong possibility of being the best ride in the world.  There's no other coaster company that provides the combination of reliability, comfortable ride, throughput, and ROI that B&M provides.

From the park's perspective you finally get a no-doubt-about-it signature attraction.  Mystic Timbers was a brilliant addition - fun, re-rideable, a 48" height attraction...but it didn't break the bank.  The Western Row construction project didn't include the expansion of Kings Island Drive without cause.  The new parking arrangement is designed to better flow through more cars.  It's been nearly 10 years since Diamondback, a ride that completely changed the dynamic of the park.  The attendance of the park can more than support a ride of this magnitude.

It's time.  If it makes financial sense for the park to install a giga, they will.  Kings Island has the land.  Kings Island has the attendance.  It's just a matter of time.
