Is Kings Island Building a B&M for 2014?
This afternoon we had an interesting anonymous tip on our Twitter feed.
After we re-tweeted Kings Island’s cryptic “670200029” tweet, “Kings Island Expo” tweeted us a link to this picture:
The tweet read: “It is the bar code on a track, and support elements at the B&M plant!”
Although most of the track is not visible, the bar code is nearly identical to that of other B&M coasters. See an example of Sheikra’s bar code here.
I’m tempted to think that the “WI” in the part number may suggest a “WIng coaster.” This photo posted on Theme Park Review shows a B&M wing coaster destined for China. It has a similar part number.
This is all speculation, but I think the odds are increasing that we will see a new B&M rising from Kings Island in 2014.

Its obviously going to be a winged coaster, and why is Kings Island building it but not announcing it? I have never seen a park do that.
coasterman, it is stupid. They should just announce the new ride really soon.
Coasterman and Sally, here’s why they haven’t announced their ride yet: Usually amusement parks don’t tend to announce their rides until about a month before the end of the season. The time before then is just for building suspense, getting everything ready, and getting people interested. Then their ride will attract more people when it is announced/when it opens.
Jonathan Cedar Point didn’t do that with Gatekeeper. And I have never seen a park do that.
Construction begins on most rides before they are officially announced to the public. I hope King Island doesn’t announce it until much later – I like to try and figure out the layout of the coaster based on the early construction picture – but my guess is the announcement will be in the first half of August.
Sally, they did with maverick…
I don’t really remeber that. Cause I only saw that they were announcing the maverick and that’s it.
Yeah. There was a full season where maverick was being built and no one knew what it was until it was announced much later
Just heard on the radio news in Dayton that KI will announce a record breaking attraction on August 8th
I know can’t wait for it to be announced!!!
What’s up mates, how is all, and what you want to say concerning
