That took you a little while, old Terp said dryly...

I got it, I was just afraid to say it at the risk of starting another coaster rumor. But now it's said and done, and now this is gonna become a madhouse. While I can hope that's correct, all I can see are headaches in this rumor.

ALL I said is that that terrain looks familiar....and, indeed, it does....

Sometimes I have to be smacked up side the head before I catch onto an idea, but if this is a rumor about what I think it might be, this is why this is my FAVORITE place on the Internet (or some other places, for that matter)...

Yea, and I still remember you and your Night Row comments from 2 years ago....

Amen!

Just because a company might pitch a proposal does not mean a buyer exists for it...(see, for instance, a certain hypercoaster pitched to a park in Mason, Ohio in the Paramount Parks days)...or that it won't be bought later by another park owner more interested in the purchase and/or more financially able to take it on.

See also, Renegade, Prowler, and the would be woodie at California's Great America....not to mention, the fact that when this supposed ride would open Kings Island could be under different ownership and different management interested more in short term investment and value rather then long term cost...

To sum up my thoughts on this...

[Beast1979]

The other popular census is that this is intended for Silver Dollar City. I looked on terrain mode on google maps and there is a location that fits that terrain, however, it's about as big as that park and half a mile away.

Look at the last GCI Concept picture, at the bottom of the appearent lift hill. See where there is a break in the supports? That matches almost perfectly with the maintenance road that's underneath SoB's structure, the one several of us have walked under for tours.

I'm now fairly positive that this is for Kings Island, however I have been wrong before, many times!

My guess would be YES. We are CF's third most visited seasonal park (source, page 10), so, if anyone's going to get a new coaster during CF's hard times, it's going to be us. Here's hoping! It looks like another Prowler... would they dare to reuse the SoB concept?

It should be pointed out that those numbers are not official attendance figures, and that much has changed since 2007.

Houston, we have a rumor!

This is why your my favorite member on KIC Terpy.

Let's also not forget Cedar Fair tried to stop the Intimidators from happening...then again, they did spend $10M on a water ride that they've wanted for years...gah confusion!
