I thought someone was having a spaz attack with a title like this to a thread... Looks like you had lots of fun! Is Mr.Six (the bald old looking dude) still a part of Six Flags? Sorry if that is a stupid question never been to a Six Flags, would love to though!

Well well well, good timing for me! I am going to be at CP this weekend.

Not a new ride, but a renewing ride experiences. I say for 2016 they put 2-4 million, or less if a budget that high isn't need for said ride, into their "heavily themed (or ounce was well themed)" rides. BLSC: Bring all effects back to former glory (as long as their not stepping on any legal issues). also repaint the track to help prevent corrosion from water effects. Possibly create a back story as well? Boo's Blasters on Boo's Hill: New high quality/build targets and guns, remove the skeletons at the end and put something in that is more fitting, Allow for the ghosts to "shoot/attack" back and if they get a hit on your vehicle then it will spin around (unknown is this is cable with the technology used on the cars themselves?), return the "smoke screen effect", Add a back story to the TV's, in the line queue, set the TV's down to not being very bright at all, change the red lights in the wall to ghost that look back at you as you walk by. Flight of Fear: All lights fixed and restored to former glory, A new and longer pre-show, that is 720/1080p, one that makes you feel more panic/worry but nothing to extreme, some better quality actors as well, replace the music on-ride with music that is fitting and syncs up with the ride experience better, some lasers shooting over head on-ride, possibly some aliens that flash up real quick, when launching off, sound effects that sound like you are launching off. AE: All sounds and lights restored to former glory, a back story created for it as well, This is a little more of a odd thing but, maybe a lot more trees? Give it the feel that you are in some jungle ride, possible effects added with the trees (if it feels needed). The Bat: Fog effects in the station, bat screeches in station and or throughout ride. Race for Your Life Charlie Brown: Add some effects that are related to the Charlie Brown show/ mini movies, slow down the speed of the water flow to allow better viewing and use of said effects. New AT show: Theme the show around Banshee giving the back story and a ride of your life! Also note before you enter the line saying not recommend for people under (insert age here) age, but nothing to scary or dramatic. So lets give a rough estimate on how much this might all cost... BLSC: 1 million maybe less BBBH: 2-4 million FoF: 1-2 million AE: maybe 3 million? Don't know what the going rate for some, full grown, tress are... The Bat: Less than 500K RYLCB: around 500K New AT show: guessing maybe 4-6 million est max total: 17 million season long "proper" up keep, maybe another 2 million? So 19 million total??? Please note: theses figures are a VERY rough estimate and could be and probably are completely off the right price point. Anything anyone else can think of please feel free to add on. Or even why some or all these things should never happen, also feel free to speak your piece why you feel that way. p.s. In case you haven't figured out, I love themeing! I also did try and keep things in the realm of possibility for a seasonal theme park as well.

So I didn't think this needed a whole new thread but here is some interesting news on Banshee according to one YouTuber, (It is #13 on his list) Note: ​Video might be strong/graphic for some!

I really like KI but, I couldn't vote it best theme park... I had to choose Universal Orlando Resort, because in my opinion that is my favorite/best theme park... KI is in 2nd place though! With CP winning by a large margin.

Was at the park yesterday (Sunday) and at 8:30pm fire was NOT working on BLSC. It did look like all lights were light up for where helicopter shoots, for all billboards cop cars and all sound effects were working for cop area. In other news Shake Rattle and Roll was raised up on a bunch of things that looks similar to wooden pallets, Their has been some dirt moved/dug up by The Beast, for the rumored Haunt attraction. Park was dead today, 7pm on. waited for a train to pull into the station for a night ride on The Beast (9:30pm), that was all the line their was! The train ran half empty, I was a couple people away from having a train to myself on AE and The Racer. Me and my family did have The Miami Valley Railroad all to are selves!

Some people might want a autograph from a celebrity but I want one from Mr.Ouimet! I feel their couldn't be a much better person to run CF! I feel Mr.Kinzel, was a analog clock, where as Mr.Ouimet is a Digital clock. He is trying his best with the budget he is allowed, with a seasonal chain theme park company, to make a much more memorable experience by giving notice to every little detail. My only request is he would put a foot down on current theming at all their parks, and make it more enforced to maintain themeing for each ride. Other than that, I love CF current direction!

Reminds me of another thread a member made on here. http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/28909-thank-you-kic/ KIC is a safe website for any and all! Their is a great variety of members, threads and topics to choose from! Heck half the topics I have started are gaming related and never ounce have I had a issue with any member! Lets say their is a member that comes here and is just bashing everyone and everything or they are talking about "graphic" inappropriate things, you can bet your bottom dollar that member will be gone in a few short hours! The mods/admin also won't put you down if you disagree with them. Sure sometimes things get out of hand and it happens.. This site isn't perfect but the people that run it and 99% of the members try their hardest to keep this site safe and stable, my hat off to them! their is only a couple things you should know and everything should go great! 1. If you have "leaked" info, for good reasons, don't be surprised if people don't believe you that well. Don't take offense to it, just it's hard to believe what's true and whats not anymore... 2. Keep swearing to a minimal or better yet none. Lots of younger people on here and you might upset the wrong person. Same thing with YouTube videos (or any videos for that matter) or images, make sure it is "PG". Examples: You see a song you like but contains lots of swear words, get the radio edit version. Pictures of haunted houses and stuff is kind of okay, but nothing to extreme. 3. It's okay to disagree/correct a member on here just don't, put them in the dog house... Bad example: Person A: "Son of Beast is the worlds longest wooden roller coaster". Person B: "OMG! Are you kidding me!? Everyone knows it is The Beast, for the worlds longest wooden coaster!" Better example: Person A: "Son of Beast is the worlds longest wooden roller coaster." Person B: Son of Beast was a long coaster but, The Beast has it beat by a couple hundred feet. 4. Have fun! Start a topic if you can't find one, to fit what you are wanting to say/do, just make sure it's in the right category. You will learn each member on here act/thinks and posts different than the other. I for one, try to help (like this) when I can. P.S. I also have a tendency of spacing stuff out like this and adding P.S.'s and note(s). Which actually drives me insane! But when I don't do stuff this way, I drive myself even more insane so it's a catch 22 for me...

Related but unrelated note... Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts for opening day (July 8th), the ride alone got up to 7.5hr wait! Maybe even longer! But first if you wanted into Diagon Alley, you had to wait in a line all the way out past to Fear Factor Live!, back where their is usually a line for a HHN house/tent! Which was zig-zaged up and down! that's just insanity! Shows the long wait to get into DA and HPEFG. A different video I have watched showed HPEFG getting up to 450min (7.5hrs)!

Random mobs of people (most of the time teens) standing around threw out the park will sometimes get to me... Especially if blocking/obstructing a ride entrance or exit.

Glad you had a great day at KI minus not many fast food restaurants being open! Kind of surprised the park was that dead, since usually it picks up a little more around July. Just a question of wondering here, but, was your pizza warm/hot or cool/cold and was it good? Since it sounds like pizza might have been sitting in window for x amount minutes... Also allow me to give you a great big open armed welcome to KIC! Please get your sowing machine ready, as you will look and add your own opinion (color) to each and every thread! And even start your own like this one!

Not so much a problem more just something that just kind of bothers me personally... Any chance of seeing the "countdown to opening day" timer removed? Since it has been at 0 since the park has opened...

I would like to see KI add a show kind of element to their train ride.

Oh Butter Beer (I prefer frozen myself), Pumpkin Juice and I would assume the new ice creams over in Diagion Alley, are amazing as well! In the Simpsons area I would highly recommend against a Flaming Moe, it has dry ice in the bottom of the cup which kind of cools your drink and then bubbles and looks cool, but it doesn't taste no different than any generic orange soft drink... And if I'm not mistaken it costs $7 for what might be a 12oz cup! Goose Juice tastes pretty good too (it is a sour green apple frozen drink)! Which can be gotten at the edge of the Dr.Seuss Land. Give me and "goodyellowkorn182" a minute and we might have something else to say.

goodyellowkorn182, everything you said, I couldn't agree with more! Transforms ride is also a blast and would highly recommend it as well, Horror Make-up Show is a must as well! As for food, in UOR park the best place to get a burger is Mel's Diner, which the burgers are amazing! Same for their chili cheese fries! IOA I would recommend eating at Comic Strip Cafe, which has a nice little variety of foods. (both places are fast food and Universal does offer a more of a sit down kind of restaurant as well, can't vouch for them since never been in them, we always get Meal Deal). I would say it really wouldn't hurt to get a 3 day two park ticket, since it might be extra busy still being summer and the new Diagion Alley being open. All and all, I hope you have a blast and please do a trip report when you return! Note: I would not recommend skipping any of the rides (except maybe kiddy rides...) at either park as well! They are all a blast and great fun in their own way!

Sooo, now that you own two theme parks, do all KIC members get in free?! Update: sorry I missed your post about your friend. My thought and prayers go out to you and your family and your friends family.

Sorry for double post but I just thought of one which I might forget. Something that really drives me up a wall is people that complain about haunted houses being to scary! This is probably my biggest pet peeve out of everything. As long as they aren't like physically grabbing you/ hurting you, a haunted house is supposed to scare you! An exception would be if your at a place like Disney World... I've heard this being an issue at Universal Orlando, about a lot of people saying it's to scary and then UOR, toning it back. But if that's true ohhhh the words i'd say to them...

I guess I could pay more attention... At least I do look both ways before crossing!

I'd guess more along the lines Disney Universe... (not the game) Already have Disneyland, Disney World, now we just need all those places that are "To infinity and beyond".

Not related but, If someone has a handicapped sign on their rear view mirror, do they get a free "upgrade" to preferred parking? This is just something I have always wondered.

Time to find the good ol Dip n Dots guy! He will confirm that Disney is acquiring CF and all it's FUN! Please note: the above information is highly unlikely of being true but in the event of said stuff being true, well, you heard it here first! More supporting info: Toy Story was also shown.

I wouldn't mind some more Breaking Bad...

When BB was getting changed to Soak City, Channel 9 news (WCPO), they kept calling it the all new "Splash City". I wanted to reach threw my TV and be like, Soak City! When I go on a cruise, I like to talk about Titanic... Or even scarier since it was recent, The Costa Concordia Theirs that too and Poseidon (the movie)... I would be the weird one wanting to watch that and Titanic in my stateroom (only issue is i'm hardly ever in my stateroom cause the ship is like a Carnival )!

Not anymore, most of the platinum pass meal deals disappeared this season, replaced with a simple 10% off. I'd say that's fair considering that you can get all you can eat or season long dining plans now. Which neither are a hateful price!
