When are these dive machines going to be built in the states? Anyway, I agree, those pictures are awesome.

Wow, the B&M factory is a lot smaller than I thought it was. And I'm pretty sure that the cream color is for the hyper, because I think I saw a picture of it before on site.

[Antinos]

Yes, it is the cream color. Thank god.

Maybe next time I go to King's Island, I'll drive by the factory if I can find out where it is...

I hope someone is trying to hack into the website

And here is a local news station that covered the story today...

The announcement is in 12 days, August 6th. Look at King Island's Site It looks like a dragon theme.

[pkiknex25]

It definitely won't be a dragon theme. It's in the middle of an old mining/western town.

The current talk with the teaser is now going away from the Mustang idea and suggesting a snake theme for the name with the eye and the videos. However, in the videos, all the scenes have a sound of a running horse, and maybe the neighing (totally spelled wrong) of a wild horse rather than the more common thought of a screaming girl. So I personally am staying with the wild horse and Mustang idea.

[lilmikemarin]

I meant to write dragon/snake. I don't think it will be Mustang, because that eye definitely looks something different. The reason I thought dragon was the whole SHHHH! thing.

[pkiknex25]

Yeah, the eye does oppose the Mustang idea though. Maybe it's just a resemblance to any "beast/monster" in general?

[coastermaniac]

horse theme, red track, cream support


:iyes
Got inspired KI ?

[rollercoasterfreak]

^ Okay sorry but that pisses me off...

1. Kings Island is owned and run by Cedar Fair and so is Cedar Point. They wouldn't get a "insperation" of a ride that just came out last year, and from the same park.

2. The new ride is made and designed by B&M.

3. The new ride is obviously not a "horse" theme becase on their teaser page it is a eye of a snake or reptile of some sort..

Hopefully I didn't come off harsh but that just grinds my gears...

[pkiknex25]

^Exactly!

^^Kinzel was always in love with King's Island and said it was a beautiful park that just lacked some recent steel coasters. And look what he's doing, he's making his new parks better. Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland, which had no large coaster at all. KD lacked a top notch looper, so he brought in Dominator. And he brought KI Firehawk and now this. This was all plans from years in advance, so don't you even dare say that KI is trying to copy CP.

[coastermaniac]

^Hey chill man, i'm cool, I just pointed this out I didn't said that KI copied CP. And I do know that it's a reptile in the teaser but everyone is talking about horses...Even if the two coaster would look the same who cares ? It's like saying that a FPS looks like another one but have been made by another company.

^^ edit: (same with you).

double edit: I do not want to argue with you two so lets leave it off

[rollercoasterfreak]

^^ Hey pkiknex25, are you a member on KICentral?

^ Sorry, I probably came off harsh but KI is a totally different feel than CP even though I love them both.

[rollercoasterfreak]

Sorry for the double post but here are some blueprints for the station if no one has seen them before...

[lilmikemarin]

^That definitely looks like western-ish. I don't know how some sort of reptile will go along with western. Besides like a desert with a snake I guess. Blah, this is confusing

[pkiknex25]

^^No, I'm not. I go there and look a lot though.
