I wonder if 20:11 has something to do with this... 

 

WindSeeker and Dinosaurs Alive were added that year.

That's a great point. This ride is taking DA's spot so most likely a nod to that.

As a couple others noted when I asked about those numbers earlier, those are also the number of years the rides are/were there. 11 and 20 for Firehawk and Invertigo respectively.

Oh, I apologize guys. I guess I missed that in the thread. 

I’ve been to cedar pint many times when I was little but was to scared to ride any big rides, after 7 years I get to go again on August 16th! Any advice and should I buy a fastlane pass?

It is hard to keep up with right now.

Yeah there have been about 5 or 6 pages added on to this thread since the teaser post

Does anyone want to go in on a business venture with me? I've just been inspired for the name of a bar near Cedar Point.

I will go in on this with you lol

Anyways, while I know the 20:11 is now the years those respective rides have been running-- I still think my idea of it being something from 2011 isn't totally invalid. My first thought was maybe they'd get rid of WindSeeker for space or something, or if the new ride would be something that's in other CF parks like Dinosaurs Alive and WindSeeker were. 

 

I am a little thrown at Invertigo for some reason. That coaster doesn't get much hype anymore, so I'm glad to see it getting mentioned.

So was Firehawk's lift hill 115 ft tall and 33° angle?

Yes it was. I just searched it online. 

So what do you guys think of the fact that they are on the right side of the fence and there isn't enough room to spell out 'Kings Island' unless they move them again...

I think that K and I are the initials for Kings Island and perhaps they won't spell anything out.

 

Looks like they may be putting posters up about the other coasters at the park.. with some their key stats encrypted within the images, and somewhere down the line they will put up a poster about project x and we'll be able to figure out the key stats of it.

It's also possible that they're just the initials for KI but that when put together the posters will all say something together. KIGIGA for example. I'm not saying that's what it's going to say, but I'm thinking we'll continue to see more posters with letters and in the end they'll spell something out.

But why start to the far right or the end of the sentence or words?

No idea I've been wondering that myself. Right now I'm thinking it's less likely they'll move them and more likely they'll just keep putting stuff to the left of them, because why would you set it up so you have to move each one every time you put up a new one, right? So either they're going to move them, KI is the end, or maybe they aren't going to spell anything.

It would be amazing if it was a launch lift hill that would be awesome 

Launches are great, but let's not forget that sweet sweet noise of a chain lift

Could be like an active type out on a typewritter where everything gets pushed right to left.

Ill be there at 1700 (5pm) tonight, we will be posting updated photos, which i know we have all seen them by now. lol

It just seems purposeful to start so far right instead of center. 

What are your thoughts about that? Any ideas why?

Well right that's what I'm saying but then they have to move all the posters to move them left every time they put one up. I can't think of a good reason why you'd do it that way.

We need to see these " white poles" lol

Three thoughts...

Odd that they changed the ECG reading and the wording in the Invertigo poster. That has to be for a reason.

Maybe the name ends in K and I and each new poster will be another letter toward the name.

Long shot.... Maybe they are getting rid of Invertigo and putting in a new flat for next year in that spot. They’ve recently had trouble with it valleying. That would explain the shorter Giga length.

Someone on Reddit said this could ultimately be spelling out “Kings Island 2020.” Fifteen letters, fifteen coasters at the park including Firehawk. K is the first letter and it looks like a 0 with Firehawk, so the last character, if this theory holds true. So the space will be gradually filled up with Invertigo moving more and more to the left. Personally, I think this makes a lot of sense.
