  1. I doubt they want to make MIA a bigger park. The park is even harder to get to than CP. It's rather far from the highway, and it even seemed like we were driving through residental areas to get there. I doubt the residents of the area want even more visitors to the park.

    Plus, the operations of the rides there was rather disappointing. The only coasters they ran with more than 1 train were Timbers and Mad Mouse. Their Corkscrew line took waaay too long for that ride, only because they only ran 1 train.

    I thought the same thing UncleHenry. You have to drive about 10 minutes through normal one lane roads to get there and the sign age leading up to the park only says "Amusement Park This Way"

    And if they expanded, they would have to remove a very large portion of Be-Bop Blvd (their car ride) and possibly Zach's Zoomer. Its true that there is a large portion of land where the train ride sits, but to access that via path way, you have to walk to the other side of the park. and I dont think they want to put a new coaster all the way over there where nobody can find it.

  2. I still wouldnt say its 100% that KI is getting X-Flight

    Dont Forget about Michigans Adventure, they havent received a new ride since Shivering Timbers and its a park that might want to try and increase its footprint.

    Very untrue.

    Shivering Timbers- 1998

    Mad Mouse and Big Dipper- 1999

    Grand Rapids- 2006

    And thats all I know of off hand.

  3. I'd bet that the trains come with some type of warrenty or something that would be void if the trains were run in a manner that was unintended by the manufacturer.

    Because The Beast trains haven't been significantly modified from 4 seaters to 3 seaters ever.

    I think that calls for a "VOID" :rolleyes:

  4. It is on MTV's website.

    Its pretty interesting to see that most of the stuff they filmed in Ohio was filmed about 3 miles from my house in Kettering. I even know where that skateboarder's house is.

  5. To put things more simply, could it be that Cedar Point attracts more business "after the gate." I have not been to Cedar Point but from what I have seen, don't they have a better selection of shops and food stores?

    All of the people I know around here that go to CP buy T-Shirts and mugs because it is big to say, "I've been to Cedar Point!"

    I know that at Kings Island all of our shops basically stock all of the same merchandise. Does CP have a better selection and range of merchandise that makes visitors actually want to buy more?

  6. Building X-Flight Mid-Season:

    Cheaper: I'm sure it costs less to hire workers in better weather.

    Concrete will cost less because its a different formula.

    Marketing: "Look at our new attraction we are building!"

    "Oh wow guys! We are going to have to COME TO THE PARK A SECOND TIME when this thing is built and spend more money in this park!"

    Just my 2 lapbar clicks.

  7. Partially why I'll go to the stalls. LOL I know TMI.

    I tend to use the stalls these days, but I'd feel bad if three guys walked in at the same time and both needed to #2 really bad. :lol:

  8. I don't necessarily like the men's room on International Street.

    Me either... PKI really needs stall dividers. I dont know but thats just a pet peeve of mine. Good thing we dont have the trough urinals!

  9. I really have no idea where you're coming from. I really loved x-Flight. It was my favorite ride at Geauga except for the Villian.

    :lol:

    The Villian is the biggest joke in the world!

    Something must be going on with X-Flight even if they are changing a brake section out or somthing because these rumors usually have some sort of basis.

  10. Wait, Wait, I know...

    KI isnt getting X Flight from Geuaga Lake, but instead they will be installing the ElDerado Magic Carpet ride near the happy days dinner... Makes perfect sense. :D

    Thank you dippin dots guy

    Ow ow ow! That ride is not fun if you have a large waistline and/or are male! The restraints are one position only! :wacko:

  11. The restraints are actually very comfortable. They are fully adjustable (the vests and the lap bars)

    The vests are a sort of "pleather" rubber kind of stuff. The lapbars are very similar to those of Flight of Fear's but they ractchet on the sides of the armrests inbetween seats.

  12. Even if they ARE moving X-Flight to PKI, they would have to haul some major @$$ to get it all torn down, shipped to PKI, all the footers poured, all the ride assembled, and tested.

    Who knows, its possible.
