2017 was actually Kings Island’s most heavily attended season ever.

Not disputing this but how do know this?  Something official for CF?

KI could get something like HangTime to replace Invertigo?

I would be happy if they replaced it with a garden hose.  

Here is my current 10 year plan.

2019 - new flat ride package in Coney Mall

2020 - Planet Snoopy Expansion and 2021 prep.

2021 - B&M giga in the back of Coney Mall in the Action Theatre area.

2022 - 50th anniversary celebration. Bring back antique cars + new bathrooms and restaurant in Xbase.

2023 - Soak City expansion

2024 - new flat ride.

2025 - dark ride in Crypt building + 2026 prep

2026 - RMC woodie between Diamondback and Beast behind the dark ride (old crypt building)

2027 - Planet Snoopy expansion and Invertigo/Congo Falls removal

2028 - Soak City expansion + 2029 prep.

2029 - B&M wing to replace Invertigo and Congo Falls.

I will most likely be way off, but this is my current 10 year plan for Kings Island

The plan is awesome, please make it all happen in the next 5 years 

^ They won't place all the wooden coaster in the park in 1 area. If they ever get another wooden coaster I am thinking it's gonna be Action Zone. maybe replacing Invertigo and Congo falls and Timberwolf.

Add'l - They won't place a wing coaster at the front gate and copy CP. Also why remove 2 rides and not replace the very next season? They would leave Inverigo and Congo Falls open until they get a  replacement for the very next season.

That is a possibility, but KI has a lot of coasters with inversions, as Knott's does not. Plus, KI just got Banshee somewhat recently, which is why I believe they would want to put something different in. Logic points to a Giga being the next coaster, but, my logic and their ROI could be much different. 

I was just thinking of something with a small footprint. We are starting to seem the end of the boomerang's. I mean they have 4 coasters that have inversions.

KI currently has the 3rd most amount of inversions of any park in the world at 25 (CP at 2 with 28 and SFFM at 1 with 36).  

Even if  "hang time" had 2 inversions we would still be 3rd. I see no biggie in adding another coaster with an inversion or two.

I chose my words poorly. I mean to imply we will never be the roller coaster capital such as they are. More along those lines.

You're are correct. Roller coasters and don't forget the location too with the lake and beach.

I still like the idea of a coaster going out over the auto entrance a few pages back if it's feasible. Maybe they could build a B&M Wing Coaster or a Floorless coaster to go out and back.

Only thing is they would need to fence off the whole area to keep it " in the park". They might look very pretty.

I don't see why not since there aren't that many wooden coasters from RMC. Kings Island has an excellent wooden coaster lineup so I could see the park being interested in an RMC woodie.

I agree.

Glad to see this thread hasn't got any less insane since about 3:30 this afternoon

Park not doing well enough for the Cedar Fair brass...

I am not following your post? Are you trying to say CF does not think the park is performing well enough for a giga?

I think that post proves @chugh43's post correct haha

I do apologise for making this thread go a little over the line. I think we should all calm down and appreciate what we have and maybe do a little giga layout things (those are always fun). Don't expect a new coaster until 2020 - 2022 is all I think we should leave this at. I think @Grobbleis right that this thread should've died like 50 pages ago. 

Just realized this. Considering DA was already surveyed (prior to 2011 construction, and postconstruction), there might not actually be a need for surveying as the park already knows the properties of the land. Just my 2 cents worth.

Well imo do not expect a coaster to come to Ki in 2020. I think its more 2021-2023.

An *original* ground up wooden coaster

But KI has a ton of original Ground Up wooden coasters, as well as a grounded up one to boot.

But the park already booted Son of Beast. They can't boot it again.

They would need to mark for a station, queuing area, maintenance area, as well as mark trees that would have to be removed for the coaster to safely travel through the area. They would also need to mark for underground electrical work for the motors of the ride and would need to mark for where they are going to pour footers.

...what the hell happened today?

On second thought, don't answer that question, because doing so would probably restart the whole argument.

IMHO this thread ought to be locked until we have hard evidence to base the speculation on. Otherwise, this thread appears to have exhausted all potential arguments and is now stuck in an infinite loop.

I am saying the park is not performing up the the suits' expectations.  It's like saying, bill,tom, sue are doing a great job at work and not recognizing the others.

Yes, please lock this thread before it becomes 100 pages (at least on my version)
