Last month, it was revealed the 364-acre amusement and waterpark had filed a blueprint with the Mason planning division for a new roller coaster.

The plans — which say “Kings Island Project 2017” — show the new attraction drawn in a corner of the Rivertown section of the park. Permits were approved June 6.

The Rivertown section of Kings Island is the same area that is home to The Beast, Diamondback, White Water Canyon and the Kings Island & Miami Valley Railroad.

New attraction animation videos and renderings will be unveiled tonight.
