Wooden launched aquatrax

"Shoot The Rapids" (Clone?) that ended up failing at Cedar Point, because KI is Cedar Fair.

You're thinking of the 2017 MiA addition

Apparently, toy axes where sent to the media, with the note saying "something is going down in the woods of rivertown...... stay tuned for further details"

here's the news article/video that was posted today.

On a serious note I recently I came across a thought. Has Cedar Fair and/or kings island filed for any trademark names? Don't get me wrong but since mantis was originally supposed to be banshee, could we see a Son of beast again? Lmao jk jk but seriously about any trademarked names......

Oh what the heck is going on?

I'd like to see a lumberjack theme, which is honestly original for a coaster, similar to how CGA did Gold Striker! I have seen some lone who asked if Paul Bunyan was a thing around there, so what do you guys think it might be called with all this teasing about trees?

[mkingy]

The Lumberjack theme is pretty cool, Timber @ Walibi Rhone-Alps adopts a similar theme and has some really cool trains.

I just hope that it will hopefully break at least one record lol. But always remember that guy that screams TIMBERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

From Kings Island Central's Twitter.

Is their new attraction going to be as tall as that crane thing?

Construction pictures so far.

That's an auger for drilling. I'm kind of thinking it might not be a woodie if they need footers that large. We can only hope.

Eh why did you have to ruin my "maybe it really isn't a GCI" fun?

i think we may see the pond drained soon, which if that happens White Water would have to close since that's their reservoir location. Anyways a new image surfaced on KICentral.

Aquatrax using pond water. Very clever.

Based on some new evidence on Screamscape, it sounds like a GCI is a done deal. There are also rumors that the park might be bringing back their Christmas event next year.

New Coaster - Rumor - (7/7/16) Kings Island has been teasing on social media by showing off images of trees being cut down along the new pathway for the rapids ride over the past week to generate interest in their 2017 coaster project. While we've been sure since the plans leaked that it would be a wooden coaster of some kind, no one has been 100% sure on who was building it. Though a reader spotted something a few hours ago that would seem to lock it down, as they spotted a truck pulling a work trailer into the backlot area of the park that had the initials "G.C.I." on it. Sure sounds like this will be a GCI coaster project then if true, and honestly based on the plans leaked, it really didn't look like an RMC anyway.

Park News - (7/7/16) Is the return of Winterfest planned for Kings Island? Last week we heard rumors of it being discussed by management at Carowinds, and now we're hearing that some initial discovery and early tech work is underway at Kings Island for a possible return of the winter event in 2017.
There is also talk of some kind of Christmas in July special event expected to take place later this month. I'm not sure if they would use such an event to make an announcement for a Winter 2017 event, but they could take advantage of it to take some guest surveys and marketing studies I suppose.

Expecting the European small park GCI layout that actually packs a punch!

What if it has their first block brake and 3 trains?

^interesting thought! I never thought about that but that would be really interesting to see.


Forgot to post these but they where posted on TPR. interesting stuff if your in construction.I believe from what ive been told it deals with footers and stuff.

ALSO, the park just posted a picture with the caption "get your sleigh bells a-jinglin'" if that doesn't confirm winterfest to return idk what else would!

Oooh! I hope they open some of the roller coasters and other rides this coming season!

Well well well....
