Intriguing proposal and layout.
The thing to always bear in mind is the topography of Kings Island's rolling hills. Remember: Diamondback traversed only one ravine w/ tree removal, and still cost $22 million.

As much as it would be a brilliant addition to the park, it seems oddly reminiscent of Leviathan's layout:

Re: Kings Island 2014 Roller Coaster
I really want a woodie here, but it won't happen for 2 reasons:
1. Son of Beast! It failed! I just don't think Cedar Fair is going to get rid of the tallest wooden just to put a bigger one in it's place. They don't want the lawsuits and to take the chance. I would love an Intamin Pre-Fab or RMC here, but Cedar Fair won't go for it.
2. Beast. It is my favorite wooden so I don't see why to put in a new one. Also Cedar Fair only likes GCI so... Yeah.
I don't see an invert here because it wouldn't bring the crowds. Inverts are old now. It also wouldn't help the skyline which is something needs.
Giga is what I see here. B&M or Intamin. After the success of Leviathan, I see a B&M Giga here. I would also love a mix of Millennium Force and Intimidator 305.
I hope a B&M Giga because I would love to ride Leviathan without having to go ALL the way to Canada

I really hope not. :lol:
Son of Beast was already a play on Beast. Surely there are other evil phenomena available. What about digging up the forsaken Banshee name from Cedar Point? :wink:

Well this is exciting! My guess is another B&M. Maybe it's KI's turn for a winged coaster? Lets just hope they don't do what they did with WindSeeker and build 50 of them...
But, I have to agree with Matt, why not bring up the old Banshee theories from back in the day.

Looks like this thing has the potential to be MASSIVE. I will definitely keep my eye on this. Here's to it not being a giant dissapointment

I actually think that a new dive machine model would be cool. I would like it to be a bit longer than the current ones though. If not that then i would like to see a really big B&M invert and that is probably more likely.

^ They can still get a wing coaster. Cedar Point getting one doesnt matter in any entirity. Checking the size of the land, it could be an Invert or even a Wild Eagle type wing coaster.
Edit: Just realized that wasnt flat land there. My bad.

If they're already placing footers, and it doesn't come out till next year, then that probably means its gonna be a big ride! I think a giga is almost even confirmed at this point! Huge land, footers, the signs are everywhere! Literally! I think the question at this point, isn't what type of coaster is it. I think the real question is, what will it be called? It has to do with monstrous screams and wolf packs. I'm thinking an animal like the wolf things in the Hobbit. What are they called? Wargs? I dunno. Maybe it'll just be called 'Werewolf' or something like that.
