 Alrighty, so we have some really exciting news coming out of Kings Island and just as I was recording this video they dropped some really exciting news. I don't know if it's actually exciting, I mean it's exciting for the future but Kings Island is losing one of its coasters. So the biggest speculation is which one of these coasters is being removed. I think almost everyone is on the bandwagon of Firehawk at this point. I'm gonna jump on that bandwagon. I actually was almost convinced that it was Drop Tower the other day and the reason I thought it was Drop Tower is that would provide a new midway where Drop Tower was located and then they could have built the the Kings Island giga with the front entrance coaster because we know Cedar Fair loves those front entrance coasters and Kings Island needs a reno of the front gate so that's why I was really anticipating that but now I'm definitely sold on Firehawk being the coaster that's going. In fact I have a feeling that this might be going to another park in the chain. Maybe even Dornie Park? I don't know. I'm gonna get off that bandwagon right now it's too early to even discuss. I'm not even sure actually this could be going to a park I've heard it's actually quite the nightmare to run and it's been having a lot of maintenance problems so it might actually just be scrapped. The teaser definitely has the color choices of Firehawk in it like the flowers definitely relate to Firehawk's color scheme so that would make sense. Kings Island is going to be making an announcement later this week on which coaster it is and now it comes down to what coaster it's going to be that's being removed and which coaster is coming to Kings Island and when. A lot of people especially Kings Island fans have been suggesting 2020. 2020 is a really interesting year as 2020 is the year that Cedar Point is supposed to be getting a massive coaster. Would both Ohio parks be getting massive coasters in 2020? Is that a good business marketing strategy? Would that not just be competition against each other and also one would be overshadowed? It's a very interesting topic of discussion and I for one don't know where or what they would do in this circumstance. I just don't see both Ohio parks getting a coaster in 2020 but with the ride removal going on most are leaning towards a 2020 Kings Island coaster. I mean this park is pumping out coasters more than any other park now at this rate. They're going to be adding their fourth coaster I believe with whatever is coming in 2020, 2021, or 2022 and that's really interesting because this park doesn't always boast the biggest attendance increase when they add a coaster so it's a very interesting business move. Does this park have big plans in the far future? Like are they adding up these coasters for a big plan? I know this park is building dorms as well so this is all really exciting stuff. Now a lot of these especially this blog post are hinting towards a major attraction leaving Kings Island. The only thing that has me kind of shook and confused is the woodchairs. Why would they go with woodchairs in this blog post and then also elaborate on the woodchairs in the blog post as well? Is it to throw enthusiasts off? We know that Cedar Fair likes to do that in their teasing campaign i.e. the Giga on the Canada's Wonderland teasing poster but the woodchairs definitely have me confuzzled. I really do not see the racer or racer being removed. It's just such a classic and to me it's not at the end of its life. I know there's been a lot of speculation of it because an alleged Fred Grabb being spotted near there. But it's just very interesting so we now know again that it's a coaster leaving but the air is eerily calm as we make final preparations for the ill-fated demise of one of our own. Now this is what definitely even before this had me kind of thinking it was coaster. The rest in pieces Kings Island, the pieces plural definitely insinuates that something's being taken apart in pieces and lots of. To me that definitely screamed coaster but it also screams a steel coaster to me because in pieces I don't know why just like I just picture a steel coaster in pieces not necessarily a wood coaster but I guess you could insinuate a wood coaster could be in pieces too. But to me it screams a steel coaster. I don't know what you guys are thinking. It's big it's gone so we know it's a large attraction and rest in piece 2018 Kings Island. This sign was accompanied by you know tombstones funeral flower bouquets and 11 wooden chairs again I was really confused by that. The flower bouquets a lot are suggesting actually we're suggesting that it's firehawk as well. Speculation on social media and the park and enthusiast fan sites has been running wild. That is so true since the sign was spotted during the opening weekend of Howling Hawn. As to what attraction could be leaving as of October 28th most of the speculation centers around vortex, firehawk, racer, backlit stunt coaster, invertigo and win seeker as the attraction that will be leaving. Very interesting ones because I personally haven't heard anything about backlit stunt coaster being removed. I've heard mostly win seeker. I think I've heard from like one or two people in vertigo but I've mostly and vortex too. I've heard it but I haven't heard it as a strong. I've heard mostly firehawk, racer, win seeker and then drop tower was starting to be spoken of again and I was actually teen drop tower for a bit just because of the front gate coaster but it's all very interesting. I actually love the way they're kind of announcing like the removal of a ride. I find it really kind of like cute and it's very engaging. The community is so involved now and now everyone's really curious about what's happening at Kings Island which is great marketing wise and I mean it's great enthusiast wise. It generates a lot of conversation and a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun to speculate and anticipate so I absolutely love it. Now firehawk in my opinion is definitely the choice attraction that is going to be removed. It just matches up with the fact that the dinosaurs just went extinct. Now they have this massive water land in the back portion of the park that isn't being used and it and can be utilized for a future attraction and firehawk just so happens to sit right next door to this Jurassic world that can be used for a much better attraction and that back area of the park where firehawk and flight of fear is located is very kind of awkward in my opinion. So turning it into a much more elaborate cedar fair style midway just makes sense and that whole area needs that kind of read a violate blah blah blah needs that whole upgrade to make it kind of a cedar fair kind of park and to me it just doesn't scream that at the moment. Sorry I'm so tongue twisted I've made like three videos today so I just really see firehawk as being the attraction of choice to be removed. Dinosaurs alive is a large water land now the only thing that has me a bit confuzzled is when you look at this plot of land does it scream giga to me it screams Intamin giga but not BNM giga I'm not saying Kings Island or cedar fair is purchasing an Intamin or an Intamin giga at that rate anytime soon but to me this reminds me of kind of like I-305 kind of landscape or like land size and not anywhere close to Canada or Canada's Wonderland and Caroline's land size or a gig BNM giga what do you guys think does this land scream at BNM giga to you to me it really doesn't it screams almost like a compact layout not even that compact but if you know what I mean not like an out and back style coaster even though it is a very large plot of land but it's just very like round and very there instead of being out and back like a lot of BNM so take with that what you will um but I honestly who I don't want to upset anyone but a mock launch coaster double mock launch coaster to me like would fit in this plot of land beautifully um I know Kings Island really wants that giga and they deserve that giga and everyone is speculating a giga but there are other coaster options available before they go down the giga route maybe they don't want a giga that's better than Millennium Force right next door um in the same state but on that same argument why was Banshee built um I know a lot of people are very differed on what's better Banshee or Raptor not going to get in on that but Cedar Fair isn't shy to beat Cedar Points records as proven especially in recent years so it doesn't necessarily mean that Kings Island won't get a giga but it's very interesting what Kings Island is going to get in the next couple years is Kings Island going to get this massive record-breaking giga coaster and outshine Carolin's and Cedar Point or are they going to get something else um Carolin's already has its records so they can go and uh I don't know if Copperhead Strike broke any records correct me down below if I'm wrong but they could go for the records on a mock double launch coaster so that would be very interesting to see what Kings Island has up its sleeves moving forward whatever it is it's large they're removing a large coaster a somewhat popular coaster from what I understand to put in a new attraction and whenever we see that um it's something large so can is wondering remove their stand-up coaster and got a world record-breaking dive coaster it didn't happen right away by the way so I don't know the timeline for this new coaster coming anyways I want to hear from you guys comment down below which ride you think is being removed what coaster you think Kings Island is getting and hopefully you guys like this video hit that like button subscribe if you haven't and share this video for others to watch and as always thanks for watching guys have a good one bye
