I don't see Wet and Wild staying open that long after the new water park is open. Universal owns the land and I could see another park in the future.

Carowinds' Thunder Road to race no more
Vortex replied to jsus's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Look for A waterpark expansion announcement very soon. -
Would be nice but your have to add hills back in and remove a set of cars from each train. The Beast is way different than it used to be. Only used to be a buz bar with no padding and head rest and skid breaks. If you went on a day that it rained you used to get a wild ride. Today I don't see that happening.

KCKC was a ride good. Towards the end the ride looked in really bad shape. Only one side of the big drop was open and the water smelled so bad.

Kings Dominion ride removal / 2016 coaster addition?
Vortex replied to Tr0y's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Wonder if Rebel Yell and Rolling Thunder are going to get the iron horse treatment. Look at Colossus from Six Flags Magic Mountain now it can run both sides with half the people running the ride. -
So what at you are telling me is that the credit card reader was having a hard time reading your card and your overreacting. I had the same thing happen at Six Flags Over Georgia on opening day last year. Went to pay for lunch card would not read. Lucky I had cash and called to make sure the card was okay. Turns out it was and tried it later on it worked in another spot. I had great time after that.

Had a lot of fun last night. Think some of you where in front of me waiting to get in the park. Glad to be able to walk the park after getting hurt. -
Hatbox ghost to return to The Haunted Mansion
Vortex replied to Oldschool75's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Little know fact Disney built two Hat Box ghost one for Disneyland and one For The Magic Kingdom at Disney World. After the effect did not work at Disneyland it was scraped at Disney World while the park was being built. -
Frisbee ride collapses in China

Theme Park Review has the article. It's not much but has pictures. Looks like the arm with the seats came off and the counter weight hit it. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70126 -
That would be the breaks at the end of the ride.

Look on Facebook you might see something. If you don't like Facebook look on Twitter not that hard to find something. If you don't like the park don't go you keep complaining about everything. Guess we should rename you The Complainer.

If Kings Island got another dark ride I hope they get rid of the guns. They don't work half the time and kinda boring when the only thing it does is make sound.

Would be nice to get some German food in the Festhaus. A bratwurst and potato pancake sounds good.

At one time Universal was thinking of replacing ET with the Smurfs.

Kings Islands Flight of Fear opened frist and then Kings Dominion's. The ride really has not changed much. The big room with UFO used to go dark and you heard a scream. I been on both the one at Kings Island has more effects working. I have also been on poltergeist and outdoor verson of the ride. It does not have the break in the middle of the ride.

Or you could pick what's in the box.

While I don't know what is going to be new next year. Don't look for anything big. Most likely a new show.

Not sure what was worse the hat or the wand.

Article: Designing Phantom Theater (Theme Park University)
Vortex replied to TombRaiderFTW's topic in Kings Island
I hope sometime down the road we get a Charlie Brown Holiday dark ride. Would be great to see the Great Pumpkin and the Easter Beagle. -
Disney has something like that they give you a red card and hold it while in line.

It's not that big of a area back their. Not sure why everyone thinks they are going to do a extension. The park does have room next to Firehawk, but the Dino's are their right now.
