Kings Island Giga Coaster

Okay, let's be honest; this rumor has become more and more likely.

The rumor has been around for a while, and we've gotten more evidence. That new writing in Mystic Timbers' queue saying 'giga' isn't why I created this, although it did make me realize something.

Dinosaurs Alive is being removed. There's tons of space back there. Way back during No Coaster Con last January, I asked Don Helbig hypothetically where a giga might be located. He said it would be where Dinosaurs Alive is, and kind of behind Racer (hypothetically). It's all starting to form together. I doubt the writing means anything, like I said, but it just gave me this realization.

If anyone hasn't seen it yet, well https://www.visitkingsisland.com/explore/live-video go to the Mystic Timbers queue line camera at the bottom, but if you don't want to, here's a photo of it.

That 'giga' wrote out on the path is probably just a higher-up messing with Enthusiasts. I wouldn't think anything of it.

I made a YouTube video on this a while ago when I heard about DA's removal.

There's also tons of space around the Banshee area, it's visible from Drop Zone and Kings Island owns the area.

Some writing in the snow right in front of the webcam. That's confirmed then.

Agreeing with gavin here. Writing such a message in the snow doesn't take more than park access, a somewhat waterproof boot, and cursory knowledge of the placement of the webcam.

I mean, sure it could be that Kings Island is adding a new coaster, but the reasoning for it being a Giga is rather flimsy at best.

As I mentioned, I'm not basing this 100% on the writing in the snow, I'm just saying it made me realize how a lot is falling together that hints at a giga as their next coaster with the Dinosaurs Alive thing as well.

It looks like I forgot to mention it in the first post; given Don Helbig, or someone else shows up at from KI to NCC, if they tell us not to have cameras or recording devices out, I'm going to be a bit skeptical. Almost a year ago at NCC, Tony Clark told us not to have our cameras or recording devices out during the presentation, and he gave a couple hints towards Steel Vengeance.
