Okay I'm tired of arguing. So... Let's get back to the actual topic , Chaos. What does everyone think may replace it, if anything. I don't think anything will replace it. The footprint is to small IMO.

Thank you for those pictures derek9312. Does anyone know what kind of slides those are? Are they tube or body slides is my big question.

Raptor, a walk on? When do you go to CP? I think one of the things that Railrider and I can agree on is that Raptor is really popular and consistantly has a line of some size.

According to screamscape they bought one of the old Wyandot Lake slides. Maybe thats what we'll see in a year or so.

No. They still haven't done enough. Why does Wicked Twister have almost 150,000 less riders than Corkscrew? Lets compare the stats... Year Opened, Top Speed, Height Corkscrew - 1976, 48 mph, 85 ft Wicked Twister - 2002, 72 mph, 215 ft You are going to say that Corkscrew has better capacity and can run more trains as well as a 4 inch less height requirement. True. But there is no excuse for a 33 year old ride to be beating a 7 year old one. So... There must be some other reason for the lack of riders because Wicked Twister has Corkscrew beaten in just about everything (except ridership). Consider the midways... Wicked Twister Midway - WT, DT, Troika, Maxair, Chaos TTD Midway - TTD, Corkscrew, Magnum, PT, WW, Gemini Clearly the WT midway is the dead midway of CP. Why else would a 33 year old ride beat a 7 year old hypercoaster? I do agree that CP has done alot to try and renew it but is it enough? I think this year is the make or break year. The novelty has worn off of Maxair and we can't truly settle this until we get the numbers.

So there is nothing Cedar Point can do to revitalize the WT Midway? Hmm didn't know it was effected or dead. Seeing as how Wicked Twister, MaXair and the Feris Wheel all reside here. 3 Very popular rides at the point. Not to mention a nice quite place at the park when you get around the stadium. So if CP were to pave the midway with gold install 10 new rides and hand out $100 to every guest who spent time in the midway, they still wouldn't be able to revitalize it? That's the reason they put these things there. How come WT is, no matter the day, always empty? When I was there for CM the line for Raptor was something like 1 hour while the line for WT was a walkon for the backseat (which is the best place to ride IMO) and the two are both only a 2 or 3 minute walk from the main gate.

Why would they buy it? The reason these parks are getting rid of theirs is the fact that parts are becoming scarce seeing as how Demon Drop is the last in the U.S. Sorry Cedar Point. Whatever you do you can't revitalize the WT midway. But back on topic, I never rode Chaos when I went because I don't like to spin. I might have to do it once or twice now that it's leaving.

Wow this is a really badly informed writer. Not only did they make KI into Paramount's Kings Island and spell KK as Kiingda Ka but they also forget to mention that S:ROS is no longer the name for Bizarro.

I believe that's the first time I've been "Terpy-fied". I feel so initiated. But anyways I say that the website will report an "exclusive report" that say multiple witnesses say "Nimatni" was painted on the side. For those of you that couldn't decipher it that's Intamin backwords. It was ued in the Fahrenheit viral campaign.

I do think this may be the start of a viral campaign. UFO sightings aren't (that) uncommon and the news doesn't devote very much time to it if any at all. The only problem I see is that they already have a UFO centered coaster (FoF). Can you say "Son of Flight of Fear"?

Thanks for the PTR. I love the pictures, must of them are great! In that one picture of DB's station it looks empty. Was the park empty?

I like them! For me it's a way to be at the parks even though I can't be.

I found it funny when the park opened to the GP at 10 and Raptor went from a walk on for the back row to a really long wait. I was in walking through the queue when it happened. Jo, did you get the chance to see it?

Kat the (almost) same thing happened to my brother. We went on Maverick and when he got off his lanyard was completely seperated and broken from the actual card. I had always wondered why they posted that sign in line. Hope it heals fast! But, overall, sounds like you had fun.

I agree with AngryBeaver. I went CoasterMania 2009 and rode Millie 5 times and did blackout for a few seconds during and after the first overbanked turn.

Is it "cheating"? No I don't know why the real first rider would sell it but It's not "cheating"

This site looks awesome! I too have not sent anything in yet but will start thinking of them.

Sorry to get off topic but I would like to see those articles. Link Please! About the on-topic article I think this guy is trying to be helpful but is not doing a very good job. It also seems he likes to attack Disney alot.

Remember that this is the same company that looked at the park last year with plans to reopen it. As soon as they got into the hard numbers of how much money it would take to reopen it they backed out.

I went on it yesterday also with some unbiased friends. I hadn't made it to be much but they said I made it out to better than it was. In my opinion it really is a ferris wheel in a box and needs to be changed or needs to go.

If Kings Island does decide to take it out I can see it going to a park like Michigan's Adventures. Anyone Else?

If Im not mistaken taking out the loop let them switch from the premier trains to the lighter G-Trains we have now. Of course I could be wrong....

I say make the effects new. Whenever I go on it they never run (Do they even work anymore?). I think it is a good ride now but with new effects it could be a great one. -maverick2007

Thanks so much guys. Wow I did not expect a response 10 minutes after I posted it. What a great site! -maverick2007

OK.. I'm thinking of taking my friend to KI but we will not get there until about 5:00. I am wondering if he has to pay full price or if there is a "twilight" or after x o'clock option. Any Help is appreciated! Thanks
