The Six Flags No One Sees
coaster_junky replied to The Interpreter's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
i dought that just because of when it was sea world ohio or whatever it was it never made any money so they sold it to six flags and i'm guessing the same thing happend with six flags, then six flags sold it to Cedar Fair where they simi tride to revive it and then turned(really in the procces of turning) it into a water park -
Of course the people purchasing are smart enough to know the difference between the two rides. But it is the people that spend money to ride that count the most. If they don't know the difference, and are afraid to ride it, what is the point of buying it? yeah and there really arn't that many people scared they are going to loose there feet i mean look at drop zone, that sure didn't slow people down from riding that and take Son of Beast people got hurt on that and people are still riding that so it also depends on who all comes to your park like thrill seekers usually don't care about the rides accident history and other people hear that a carnivil swing broke and then won't ride any swing any where

We already have Drop Zone (which is bigger and faster), and Plankton's Plunge. Do we Really need another one? I say give it to a park that doesn't have one (Geauga Lake! Oh, Wait,). i'm guessing that didn't turn out as funny as you thought it was going to and demon drop is different than plankton's plunge and drop zone because last time i checked you didn't pull out of the drop and end up on your back on drop zone or plankton's plunge plus Cedar Point has power tower demon drop and a plankton's plunge(but it is themed with frogs) and when you think about it that is like having six different drop rides where Kings Island would only have three different drop rides

Just incase anyone was doubting the renaming of such attractions as IJ, Top Gun and TR.....ALL ride merchandise for those attractions is now 60% off in the gift shops! Just an FYI. - Todd is that any thing that says there names or is it because of the fact majority of there stuff says paramount? The signs that I saw in Emporium tonight SPECIFICALLY stated Italian Job, Top Gun and Tomb Raider merchandise. Likewise, there were signs advertising all Paramount branded merchandise as well. - Todd o.k. just making sure

yeah because to me kentucky kingdom is to six flag as geauga lake is to Cedar Fair(before it became only a water park)

for the people that thought the restraints were uncomfterable in the origional Son of Beast trains look at it this way that being weaged in your seat by the restraint was what was keeping you from having over the shoulder restraints.

Technically, I guess it's named after the 1994 movie staring Wesley Snipes called (surprise, surprise) "Drop Zone" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109676/ However, there's absolutely no themeing or storyline to even come close to tying the movie in with a themed ride. Face Off (opened the samed year as DZ) is even worse when it came to tying the ride into a movie theme. They could have named either one "Titanic" and the ride themeing wouldn't have been any more disconnected. and that explains it i have never heard of a movie named Drop Zone, until now that is
-
but the people that own the park that would buy it would be smart enough to know that the rides are two completly different rides and i have only ridden dd twice and i found it to be a very enjoyable ride(that was until i was on my back feeling like i was de-railing)
-
i am pretty sure that i should know this but what paramout production is drop zone named after and how about this name for italian job " the amazingly short mini cooper ride"
-
i don't know if it has its stats or date of start and finish but go to photo gallery and scroll down to defunct rides but i don't know if that will help you with all you want

coaster_junky replied to coaster_junky's topic in KICentral Footnotes & Small News

where did my forum go
coaster_junky replied to coaster_junky's topic in KICentral Footnotes & Small News
so was it because of my topic i started or haunt guy calling my dad a whale? Essentially.... yes.... which one because i just read the tos and it didn't see anything that said any thing about the subject being bad and if it was about hauntguy's comment about my dad could you give the forum starter the ability to delete a nasty remark from their forum so they will not be deleted as mine was? because that makes me mad that i got my forum deleted because of one persons remark Your topic was fine. One person made a rude remark and several other people started slinging mud at each other after that. I'm sorry that your topic disappeared, but it is what it is. here is the proof that you said my topic was fine so i posted it again. then i exited the internet and logged back in so i wouldn't hit the back button and erase it that way, then after i logged back in and it was there i went to canada's wonderland's web-site to ride behemoth and now that i am back it is gone. so why does it keep being deleted? -
i was mainly talking about the ones for Firehawk and italian job and maverick
-
yeah if only the ride was 1/100 of what it was in the animation. i mean that is one thing i don't like about animations is the fact that the ride is never like what it shows theme wise and special effect wise any way
-
then how come on KICentral.com the unofficial web-site of Kings Island has it listed as a family ride? because i am really confused

Ride like to Behemoth coming to KI?
coaster_junky replied to DropZone99's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
sure and sorry i just don't see Cedar Fair doing eather of your suggestions for Kings Island. i know Cedar Fair is known for there parks with record breaking rides but Kings Island was the top paramount park and Cedar Point is Cedar Fairs top park and now Kings Island is the one with the shorter stick so we will have to get use to start geting things after Cedar Point but hopefully we will not end up the same way that geauga lake has and expecially with a taller Son of Beast just because top thrill was such a problem and Son of Beast was like fifty times a bigger problem and i don't think that Cedar Fair will build another 200 foot tall wooden coaster or another 400 foot tall steel coaster
