Kings Island is a bit late to the party, but they will be announcing their 2011 plans tomorrow as well.

So, that makes 3 parks announcing tomorrow and it sounds like all 3 could be getting Wind Seekers (Starflyers). I would be surprised if both KI and CP got the same type of ride however. Any ideas?
Cedar Point and Kings Island both have Giant Frisbees, so it wouldn't be uncommon for them to have the exact same ride. I dont' know what they're announcing for tomorrow, though.
I'm figuring Carowinds is announcing Starlight Experience, and I know they'll be opened later during the week, so that's a good thing. I'm excited to see it.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Right, but Paramount was first to the game, and CF actually followed on that one, and now CF owns both. Just like they did with the Impulse coaster at Geauga ;).
I don't have a problem with parks that are close getting similiar or even the same ride, especially if it's a good ride. I know some people will moan and complain, but, then, that's going to happen regardless.

It's not on their website set. For those non-facebookers, it's the same specs and name as Canada's Wonderland.
<edit>
It's now live on their site.

I think I see where the 'StratoSoar' name is going to come into play. One of the two Ohio parks will get a 'Wind Seeker', while the other will receive the SS name. There's just enough of an overlap in the market that they would seek a little bit of differentiation, at least nominally, between the two.
