@InTheLoopLegend Tomb Raider/Crypt building will likely stay The Conjuring during Haunt for the foreseeable future.

Personally I think next year will be no new rides but instead a focus on entertainment like KD is doing and maybe add some new special events.

@ThemeParkLore @InTheLoopLegend They could literally transplant some trees from behind Orion/Banshee in what is just forest and move/replant them into Action Zone

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@TPRBrandon KI is all but off the table for 2027 as there is no activity going on. 2028? Very likely imo

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@Coaster_Fiend @SF_FiestaTexas @SFMagicMountain If it gets delayed again, we protest!

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@coasterstudios @TeamYouTube WTF is wrong with people?! People need to get a life and STOP hacking into accounts on any site! The fact that YouTube won't do anything about it is maddening! There honestly needs to be a massive lawsuit against YouTube over this!

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@CoasterConquest Employees refer to it as "ship" lol.

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@marcusleshock @Hersheypark Im surprised ITE hasn't been sued yet for false information!

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

The Son of Beast station still has its loading gates! #kingsisland

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@leanie_dragon It's themed to look like a lakefront shipping warehouse (basically what Sandusky has on the mainland)

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@TaterNuts_ Let them have fun! For a lot of those kids this is their only chance to ever go. Also is one of the last chances they'll get to spend with their classmates before break. I remember how memorable my end of year field trips were in Middle School even though it was never to KI.

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@MosasaurusRoll What's going on? Track is complete. Trains are on site. Something with certification/pre testing issues?

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@TaterNuts_ I would like to see them change up the shed next year for the ride's 10th anniversary. Maybe add an animatronic or 2? Unlikely though.

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@10arc10 I personally believe the next big project post project purple/the boardwalk will be on the leftover Ka plot and a reimagined Golden Kingdom. A tilt coaster or a full circuit multi launch (not a shuttle) would be a good fit there imo.

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@TT2Uptime It's turnaround from being down all year in 2024 to being one of the most reliable attractions at CP last year needs to be studied!

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@Amusement_Buzz I think late night ride time on Steel Vengance, Maverick, Millennium Force, and Siren's Curse would be even better. I was thinking how cool it would be to have that as part of a Hotel Breakers/Lighthouse Point package where guests staying there get ERT from 10-midnight on those

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@FyeCoasters @TonyClarkCP Coasterstock 2021 happened in July. They can do it later if they wanted.

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

Tuesday May 12th 2026 will now forever be known as "Coastermania Tuesday" lol

[Tony Clark @TonyClarkCP]

Coastermania incoming…

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

@TonyClarkCP @Coaster101 We seriously just saw the Coaster community's Schiano Sunday moment (iykyk)!

[Caleb Richard @HawaiiCoasts325]

2027 is turning into the year of the water ride like how 2026 has been the year of the dark ride lol. This plus Carowinds' super flume and very likely that Holiday World's 2027 ride is a water attraction.

[Expedition Theme Park @ExpThemePark]

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has filed permits for a new water attraction with themed structures to replace the removed Stanley Falls Flume with the name Project Driftwood.
