  1. If KI is removing the maintenance sheds for the X-Base area to the site of the pole barn area for an entire X-Base expansion would be amazing. One thing that I’m not sure would be able to be relocated easily is this white holding tank or tower. I actually have no clue what it is or what it holds. Is it some form of water tower? It looks like a huge oil holding tank that we have on the Ohio River where I’m from. Could someone please fill me in and let me know if it is able to be relocated, thanks.
  2. Now all we need is the Coney Mall signs back. That would be extremely inexpensive & make all kinds of people happy. Keep up the great work KI
  3. 1-Giga 2- Something bigger for the kids with a 38/40 inch height. Something similar to Firechaser Express or Kentucky Flyer. 3- Ground up RMC woodie 4- Mack Multi Launch
  4. After riding Copperhead Strike this past weekend, I’d be more than ok with KI getting a Mack Multi Launch. TBH the launch’s were sub par but it had amazing airtime and laterals, not to mention the hang time is out of the world. Towards the end of the ride it had some nice rapid transitions similar to Maverick. Maverick is still the way better ride, IMO but if KI went with a Mack Multi Launch they couldn’t go wrong.
  5. That’s what I was thinking. I’m just surprised it was a little higher.
  6. I’m sorry I should have put 20-30 days. 23 extra days is a lot more than a few weekends.
  7. I’m surprised it wasn’t higher honestly. With a brand new coaster and 30-40 extra days added to the season “WinterFest” it shocked me we only saw a 2.5% bump in attendance.
  8. I’m with you on Texas. Houston Texas is they 4th largest city in America & they have no major amusement park since AstroWorld was closed. If there is only City that could support a new ground up park, I believe Houston is the answer.
  9. First thing I’d do is change Action Zone to a place called Haunted Hill. We already have Banshee and The Bat which would fit in with the new theme. It would have the flickering lights everywhere like the SV lift hill, along with the fog and scare actors year around. I would def repaint Drop Zone and rename it Demon Drop. Delirium would become Pendulum. I’d also love to fit a Intiman Blitz somewhere in the newly rethemed area called PURGATORY. Needless to say I like the dark theme and the Haunt season is my favorite time of the year.
  10. What about paying homage to the Shooting Star at Coney Island? That would be a cosmic theme and could fit in with the X-Base theme.
  11. I was about to post the same thing. Just watch the video above .
  12. Theme Park Worldwide has some of the best content I’ve ever seen. Only problem is he covers mostly European parks. Other than that I’ve yet to see anyone match the quality he produces. If I ranked them my list would follow as: 1- Theme Park Worldwide 2- Coaster Studios 3- Coaster Net 4- In the Loop 5- Midway Mayhem Bonus: Amusement Insiders are very good. They are starting to come onto the scene big. I also like CoasterBob62. I just wish he talked more in his videos. He rarely says anything.
  13. I’d be very surprised to see KI remove a Vekoma Flying Dutchman for a B&M Flyer. To me it makes zero sense to remove a Flyer just to add a Flyer. Although more reliable B&M flyers also have crap capacity.
  14. I’d love to see Kings Island find larger version of The Whip and completely refurbish it & install it in Coney Mall. The one at Camden Park is a blast & love to see Kings Island find one to bring to the park.
  15. I’ve had a Zen Rides in my time as an enthusiast. -AfterBurn @Carowinds -The Bat @Kings Island -Thunderbird @Holiday World -Voyage @Holiday World Both of my Zen rides at Holiday World were during Holiwood Nights!!!
  16. This was such a fun event. I think it’s the best coaster event of the season. Holiday World knocks it out of the park for this event. I love how they kept the park open an extra 30 minuets for us because lightning took away some of our time. I don’t have enough good things to say about the park, staff, & the food. It’s amazing literally having the park to yourself, well 300-400 other coaster enthusiasts. Best Event Ever!!!
  17. I’m 87 miles away from the park. I live in Lucasville Ohio. I go west on St Rt 73 then west on St Rt 32. Take that until I run in to 275 then to 71 North.
  18. I think because KI’s Numbers have stayed around 3 million or a little over. KI’s Numbers didn’t jump like Carowinds Numbers did after they installed Intimidator & Fury. Carowinds have also sustained those numbers. When KI installed Banshee the Numbers never really climbed. We’ll probably never know the true effect of what MT Numbers were because we also installed Winterfest that year, which would’ve have spiked the Numbers some. Yea KI def has the higher number of attendance but when you install a 24 million dollar coaster and the numbers don’t jump a lot I see a market that is nearly maxed out. At least I think this is what CF is looking at when planning future investments.
  19. I'm about 99.99999% that's not happening. But I'd gladly take it!!!
  20. I took this with a grain of salt, but I had I few ride ops tells me this would be Firehawks last season. Have any of you guys heard this rumor? It was a first for me but I did hear it none the less. I personally don't see it, but I guess anything is possible.
  21. The only one I think that is remotely possibly is your #1. But I wouldn't mind seeing some of what you stated come to fruition. But if it were up to me it would be something like this: 1) B&M Giga in Coney Mall or X-Base 2) Mack Multi Launch, but I would put my money on the new Vekoma "Top Gun" model. They actually look amazing. 3) RMC T-Rex, this only happens when Vortex is removed. Kings Island would then need a sit down looper. 4) S&S Steeplechase, now this would be an outrageous move. I'd put the S&S Steeplechase on the plot of land that BLSC sits on. That would be more fitting for the area than BLSC & would be an amazing family attraction. Then is get rid of Timberwolf and move BLSC over to that area of the park. I'd also rename and retheme BLSC to something different. 5) Gravity Group kids woodie, I liked the area where you wanted to put a family GCI, but I'd keep it local and put a Gravity Group woodie in like the one opening Seasame Place. Bonus) I wouldn't mind seeing the Sky Flyer removed from Action Zone and put in Oktoberfest to swing out over the lake like the one at Kennywood. Then I'd like to see a thrilling flat like SkyHawk at CP replace the Sky Flyer in Action Zone. Now I know most of what I stated will not happen. It's just something I'd like to see. It's fun to speculate and day dream from time to time, lol.
  22. Then don't ride Green Lantern at SFMM. Out of the 202 coasters I've ridden it's easily one of the worst. Goodness it's awful, lol.
