Anything new at the park today?

Who thinks this is more than just a rollercoaster? Maybe... just maybe... this will be an entire revamp of the area with more rides, shops, restaurant  and the thing everyone seems to want.... restrooms!  maybe the area will be named Orion or Polaris? I’m still holding out for a new version of Extraterrorestrual Alien Encounter... look it up on YouTube if you don’t know what that ride is. Any way you look at it, I think this will be an exciting direction for the park to take!

I think it is definitely possible for a retheme and entire overhaul of the area. They have a budget of $120 million throughout CF and this is the only known roller coaster going in. Look at what they did with copperhead strike this year. They completely rethemed the entire area to blue ridge junction and added a restaurant and our old gliders on top of copperhead strike.

I personally don't think it'll be Orion or Polaris simply because I can't recall ever having the ride actually named what we've found copyrights for prior to the announcement :p

Banshee was also filed at the same time of year as Orion and Polaris.

I thought Banshee was a name they've had since the original name of Mantis

That's true, they were gonna name Mantis Banshee.

Maybe, but you would think they would close Racer if that was the case as well

I don’t really think they’d close attractions to keep something secret, it just doesn’t make sense. If that were the case wind seeker would also probably be closed (Granted it is closed at least twice a day )

I sense a new Oliver Stone movie coming soon.

The trademark was filed April 24, 2013: https://trademark.trademarkia.com/Banshee-85913369.html. For comparison, Orion and Polaris was filed April 30, 2019.

Just generally speaking, this site has all the trademark information, including dates of filing. It’s definitely interesting to read through. https://www.trademarkia.com/company-cedar-fair-lp-222594-page-1-2

Nothing new today. Sorry this aren't great quality. They're from my phone. 

I know this probably won't happen, but Polaris and Orion were only trademarked by Cedar Fair, not KI. I know that's normal, but what if Orion and Polaris were the names for both the sides on Racer 75 (Rebel Yell) and gave it a different theme?

Are the wires gone from the poles?

Buried?? Hard for me to see

They appear to be gone based on what I can see.

Kings Island is "dead"? Page 3

It's got the Paramount logo which makes me feel like its got to do with the logo not the name?

Im not driving by CSF today to get any track updates, sorry... Is anybody else down to drive by CSF if you live close?

I know this name was dead in 2010, but what attraction was the name for? It is from Cedar Fair.

I'm still going to grab shots from the tower with my DSLR... Linrs are ridiculous today... DB was an hour and they were only running 2 trains... plus there are 3 company picnics from what I can gather today, plus free admission for another group

I know that this is a horrible drawing, but I think a tunnel at the bottom of the turnaround would be really cool. Like if you are in fact going to be spiraling down, it would be very neat to spiral down into the tunnel. Note: the tunnel is gray because the background is black.
