1.  My opinion was not unsolicited.  

2. I gave my honest opinion.   The intro was needlessly long (90 seconds) and boring, very slow and almost all details everyone on this site already knows.  The rest was fine.  

3. I am glad you liked it.  You be you.  I will be me.  I don’t appreciate videos wasting my time, I can scan walls of text.  

Dude chill. You're not creating a very welcoming environment. No one is impressed by you being rude to a fellow fan.

Personally, I like when someone puts thought and effort into the ride's backstory. I thought it created nice suspense and hype for the coaster.

    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

After 60 seconds of text I dozed off.  Maybe get to the point next time.  


Dude... it was 80 seconds...

Beyond the point. 

 

Thank you for the video! Same for everyone with positive pleasant content posted! Don't post much but love reading (almost) all the content!

If they reuse the loading station, and head east and upwards, the firs drop could curve around to behind The Beast and venture into the deep near the Little Miami River. That area is dense with woods.

Fanboys are gonna make or break a KI giga.

Let's hope they actually don't make it, and/or break it.

I'd love to see an Intamin Blitz built onto the woods.

^ Please no.  Srry but I would not be a fan.

Why? Steel Vengeance is the best hyper out there, so an RMC Giga would be amazing.

If they ever did reprise the SOB, I would like to see them use topper track and then incorporate the loop. After riding lightning rod, I believe they can bring a loop to life.

They definitely could. Plus they did an Immelmann, which consists of half a loop.

To be honest, Son of Beast had a meh layout. IF KI was ever blessed with an RMC topper track coaster, I'd want it to resemble Zadra, the new coaster coming to Energyland in 2020.

 

You guys and these MS Paint drawings crack me up.

I think they are quite fun, and at least one has made the local news.

Wait, what? I thought the local news just showed a google maps satellite image of the Firehawk plot of land combined with the former dinos area.

I used ms paint to make that rendering

The layout I predict is starting in X-Base, heading behind the Flight of Fear building (possibly hopping over it on the return run), and having most of its layout behind Banshee since it's already cleared.  That route would lead to the least tree clearing as well.  The terrain should serve to make the drop larger than the lift.

I think a lot of concepts and speculations lean towards the lift hill facing North, if not Northeast or Northwest. It'll be cool to see if this is true and just be completely immersed in the surrounding landscape with the park behind you. 

I also think the layout could reach as far as Bat's lift, maybe even further.

So do you think any of the DA land will be used?

I honestly want it to be sorta low to the ground and sorta hidden in the trees. Obviously the lift hill can't be hidden since it's over 300 feet.
