"Here's the big board, detailling everything that's expected in the parks for the next years, where is it going to be built, what is it and what will it look like.
Warning: No rumors here! just good, confirmed news or infos coming from good sources."


Kings Island:
Unknown
Megacoaster - B&M
"This new ride will be 68m high and 1525m long. The first drop will be 64m high and two other drops will have their base in a natural ravine. The layout will also feature two helix."

How are we supposed to take this seriously?

[SnooSnoo]

With its proximity to CP.. I doubt it.

Maybe another Paramount park.. such as Carowinds.

[Nate]

I've heard this rumor from more then one source. I don't think a B&M hyper is going to effect CP at all, they are like a 4-5 hour drive away from each other. I can see this happening, especially if CW's is a hit.

[Michael]

^Like Nate, I too have heard this from a few sources.

And I also agree, I do not think a new ride at KI would really effect Cp all that much. Cedar Point is still an icon for the GP, and KI is more of a local hit. (at least where I live, KI is sort of the alternative to making a long trip to CP, and more affordable).

As for 68 meters, well that's 223 ft (what now betch! ), so it seems pretty plausable. Also, with the relocation of a B&M to KD, hopefully this is a sign that some of the original paramount parks will see a wider range in attractions, maybe even some big ones from B&M and Intamin. (as the rumor suggests). From what I see, KI has a bright future

^Actually, it's 223 ft.


Seems neat, though it's like 300 ft shorter than Behemoth, so we'll see how that goes.

I've also heard this same thing on a few other forums. Whether or not it's true, I don't know. This type of attraction would round out their collection, but personally, I thought they could've always used a 'high caliber' looper like a B&M floorless...then a man from Dutch destroyed my hopes.

That would soo be my sig if I didn't already have a good one

^Yeah, but I think Dominator is more of a "high calibur" looper, like Ryan said.

[The Storm Runner]

CF already announced its plans for 2008, so it definitely won't be in 08. 09 or 10, idk. They just got a "new" coaster this year though.

[Michael]

^I think for 2009 is what the thread was titled before an admin changed it
