Kings Island: General Discussion

Far better than sneaking it into the car parks in a curtain sided lorry anyway ;)
 
It's going up!

Edit: More here on TPC's Facebook too!
 
And this is why I wish there was more large scale parks over here! Imagine the competition this would have had with the Smiler, may have made merlin think a little more about where they should be spending their budgets!

(Not intended to bash the Smiler which I do love!)
 
Re: Kings Island - Son Of Beast and B&M replacement

This is a stunning coater that's for sure. We'll never see anything on this scale at AT though :( even if a clone was built in a 'pit' and replaced nemesis, I don't think it could compete with Banshee. The size of it will be extraordinary, and the colour, wow. In the UK it would bounce out of the planning office quicker than something that bounces quickly. :p
 
Is it just the angle of the shot, or is that lift hill stupidly steep for an invert? It looks more like a dive machine's lift!

Not to mention a tad sexy. ;)

Seriously though, there must be a way to eliminate the need for catwalks! It looks amazing without em'!

Wow, steep lifthill and basically vertical drop. It baffles me that parks without inverts chose Wing Coasters over them.
 
Oz'Iris also has a very steep first drop, albeit not as tall, which is immense especially on the back row. I'd imagine this will be the same!

:)
 
This is looking stunning! Those colours and that drop are just incredible!!

I do however still have my one main worry, the vests, I seriously hope they don't have the same tightening problem that is found on The Swarm! As lets be honest, this is clearly going to be 10 times more intense than any Wing Coaster could ever dream of being, and that could potentially kill all comfort and enjoyment of the ride!!

Here's the latest construction image and it is looking spectacular. That drop will be insane!
