Some notes;
Early last year we had intel that a B&M Giga Dive, Surf Coaster, and Mack Xtreme Spinner were on the decision table for Kings Island. The B&M's would have gone where Timberwolf Ampitheatre is, strangely enough. That info has now been proven to be 2/3 correct.
Regardless, how much of this is actually viable to happen? Tower Coaster would come off as more of a gimmick than a ride experience and not something worth sinking money into. Plus the site is just extremely inconvenient, too. I'd love me a more fleshed out Xtreme Spinner at KI but ultimately they just won't bite this concept.
Indoor coaster is an odd choice given Flight of Fear, or the prospect of putting another
Kings Island Box in the middle of the Vortex plot. The PlanCo artwork appears more like an idea rather than a concept, anyways.
Zamperla Family Thrill launch coaster is definitely an idea under heavy consideration from a lot of parks. The layout presented however borrows from
their idea a couple IAAPA's ago, involving a single trail and a switch track. Given the size vs capacity vs Family Boomerang I wouldn't expect KI to jump at this. In fact, I wouldn't expect
any other Cedar Fair park except Michigan's Adventure to move ahead with this particular attraction. Bright future ahead for Michigan's Adventure though, hope they get this.
Considering that Cedar Point did just ditch Forbidden Frontier, the island is once again open season. Always the prospect they could try out another area and rides back there, maybe cram in a similar Family Thrill launch coaster?
No words on the B&M Giga Dive. Would kind of render building Orion a tad pointless but whatever. Still would prefer that Vekoma Tilt Coaster from CP's survey over at Vortex plot, definitely hype.
Overall I do feel like much of these surveys are gauging reactions from guests, with some of this firmly not happening. Seriously, no Tower Coaster. Overall though, definitely encouraging for a next major coaster!
