The pictures dont prove that X-Flight is going to KI. There is only a small amount of cleared land and nothing more. If a lot more trees get cleared then you know something big is coming but its still bare land. When I see some footers then I would say X-Flight is probably on the way.
Cedar Fair announced its $83 million for additions and improvements for the 2007 season. $10 million is going to King's Island for a new thrill ride. This could be a new thrill ride or it could be X-Flight but we'll have to wait and see.
X-Flight originally cost $15,000,000. Chances are it ended up being sold for $10 mill. It was still in good condition so its a decent price. KI definetly has to remove some more trees; that footprint of cleared land isnt large enough right now for X Flight

The coaster wasn't sold. They stated X-Flight would move to another CF park.
10 million cap ex for KI.
My guess is that 10 mill goes for the improvement of SOB and relocating X-Flight to that park (Kings Island).
They still have plenty of time to install X-Flight at Kings Island for the 2007 season. X-Flight was on flat ground at Geauga Lake and it seems the land clearing by Flight of Fear is also flat land.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
With it being December and we don't see any construction of footers yet, I highly doubt that X-flight is coming to PKI. My guess the land clearing may be just a place to store x-flight.
