Looks like those Top-spin drawings on Screamscape were all wrong ..Sounds like a combination of several rides to me? An highly themed walk through ,turning into a multi passanger ride vehical that may have coaster type of ride.sensation.. turning and diving??? Almost like a steel high tech version of the CCI project at Indian Beach??? ONLY TIME WILL TELL????

Anticipation keeps growing and growing, I can diffinetly see from the picture provided they going all out on detail. A 20 minute experience! Unbelievable! May 11th just won't come soon enough.

-----------------

This is going to be one weird/awesome/one-of-a-kind ride. I can't wait 'til opening day!

"This ride literally can catapult you throughout the whole chamber.”

"guests strap into a vehicle that will take them through several twists and turns"

"will include a near-clash in an ice cave and a head-first plunge toward a pit of red-hot lava"

Nothing we didn't already know, really.
Still sounds like a heavily themed Top-Spin-type experience to me.

Even if it is a Top Spin, did you look at that picture? That theming is incredible! It makes the theming on Flight of Fear look bad! I can`t wait till this tewnty minute adventure opens on April 5!

I`ve ridden Son of Beast 67 times!

No such thing as a 'topspin' for starters.

Not a Top Spin.

Huss makes Top Spins.

This is In-House design and production.

The pictures on Screamscape were removed weeks ago hinting that they were a fake.

Jeez...from the clues it sounds like its gonna be a scrambler. lol. what a waste.

Well said Koster King. Paramount's Kings Island still has the best rumor mill producing abilities of any park out there. They really have fun and come up with some crazy things. Remeber Inferno? I have a feeling those Screamscape drawings came from the same place as the Inferno rumor.

PKI Would of most likely sued the host of screamscape and screamscape itself it those blueprints were real. They have those plans gurarded Better then some of our Neulear testing labs. (getting gate acesss to take some paper work back is like comming to area 51. This is the offseason and They Searched my car 2 times and me!)

I am quite certain it WONT be a Top Spin, and there are a few clues in that new report to suggest it wont be one

I guarantee it will be unlike anything you've ever seen,” park spokesman Jeff Siebert said of the ride, which will be ready when the 2002 season kicks off April5.

Well, if its unlike anything we've ever seen, then it surely wont be a Top Spin, afterall pretty much Everyone has seen a Top Spin in action before.

Kings Island calls the ride its most ambitious in the park's 30-year history because of the years it took to develop and design

Well, if it took so many years to devolp, then again, Its not a Top Spin because I dont think it would have taken them that long to design a Super Top Spin.

Kings Island describes the ride as an iimmersing, 20-minute experience from start to finish.

A Top Spin ride lasting 20 mins, ummmmm I dont think so.

Personally, I got the opinion, Tomb Raider would be fairly similar to Spiderman at IOA, Of Course I could be wrong, but thats the idea I got when reading the Press Release for the first time. Still Lets wait and see, Its not long to wait now anyway till we know the Truth.

Also, It says on that report that the park reopens April 5th, I thought the park reopens in May, Or will it be Weekend Operation only in April?????

I say it is a VARIATION of a Top Spin.

Ever hear of Wind Shear by Zamperla? I'm not saying that Zamperla made the ride, I'm saying that it is an in-house ride exactly like the Wind Shear. Basically, Wind Shear is a ride that starts off like a Top Spin, wiht the arms moving in sync with each other. Halfway through the ride, the arms begin to move independently and there is some serious flippage, twisting, shouting, you get the idea. Sounds exacly like that to me.

SAVE INVADER ZIM!

maybe its some sort of avalanche based ride or even a totally new design taht no one really has seen before. time will tell what this excellent adventure is, am I am sure that PKI will not let us down!

in one of the other topics on this subject I stated that it could be same as coaster131 has stated. If you want to see what we mean, then goto my site and see for yourselfs.
