Holiday World Tours
PKIDelirium replied to Winterfestguy's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
A full trip around Voyage is quite the workout. I did the ACE construction tour in March 2006, which involved hiking ALL the way back on the left side, around the turnaround, and then back on the right side. The station wasn't complete, the walkway bridge into Thanksgiving was just dirt and gravel making getting down there and back interesting by itself, but trackwork was either completed or in progress on the entire course. Some of the tunnels hadn't been enclosed yet due to trackwork, which made for some interesting views. I've done countless Beast tours over the years including ones that went all the way back across the second tunnel and down right next to the track near the second left approach, but the Voyage route doesn't give you any straight, level areas that are basically nature walks, that terrain makes you work for it. Standing next to the midcourse brake, with the track barely a few feet above ground level and looking down the hill back towards the lift hill, that's quite a view. -
I've got a couple of them somewhere. One from when it was new, and a second from the Great Paramount Fire Sale of 2007.

I remember when Paramount would do that like the day before opening, in addition to asphalt sealing. Blah!

If you could add any new themed area to the park, what would you add?
PKIDelirium replied to 3dgyrat's topic in KI Polls
Make it the new extension of Oktoberfest with a Black Forest type setting. The current "mini-Oktoberfest" would stay and the path between there and Delirium would be the primary entrance with a spooky sign. -
Oh, is it mulch day?

...which is why it won't happen.

School of Rock was a great show, but the only thing good that happened with the sorry excuse of a "Hollywood magic show" that was Magic of the Movies was the chainwide renovation of the indoor theaters.

Camp Snoopy Construction Updates
PKIDelirium replied to Hawaiian Coasters 325's topic in Kings Island
Good Gravy is a major by-itself addition for Holiday World, but for KI it's a major chain park with a lot of coasters expanding the kids area. I don't think the stock design is "bland" because it's the first instance of it in the US. Sure, there are numerous instances in Europe but "New Vekoma" is just now getting into the US market. -

I have no problems with it being a stock design. Cedar Point's new Zamperla spinning mouse is one of the stock designs, and meanwhile across Planet Snoopy you've got Woodstock Express and there are countless instances and variations of that old PTC figure-8 junior coaster layout. -

RCDB shows Good Gravy as being 721 feet, and under notes it says the distance traveled is "nearly 1,500" feet, and Good Gravy is a custom design while SSBR is the "208m Rebound" catalog model. So, slightly shorter, and a stock design instead of custom, but ultimately for parks like Holiday World such a ride has to serve the role of a major attraction, rather than a "this is part of a kids area project" attraction. -

It's been too cold for painting steel. -

Banshee had too much to drink and took the loop wrong. -
Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
PKIDelirium replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
From what I've seen it's more likely that Paramount will merge with Skydance rather than WB. -
That building is on part of the boneyard land that used to house the King Cobra track and was also the previous fireworks launch site. There is still a lot of stuff stored outside there.
