  1. Phantom Theater hands down! We have plenty of coasters and thrill rides, but what we don't have enough of are calm, relaxing rides for the whole family. We need something else that fits that category. Plus, I really miss that ride and would love the chance to experience it again.

    I never got to ride it but the way people talk about I wish it was back so I could experience it!!!

    I remember riding it when I was little, but thanks to CoasterBob on YouTube I can relive it every day.

    Oh cool! I'll have to go check it out!!

  3. Wow, this is a tough one. I wish I had the chance to ride Son of Beast (with loop) and King Cobra I also really miss Phantom Theater. I can't pick between those three.

    I love Son of Beast with the loop!! I never rode King Cobra but I really want to and I sadly didn't get to experience Phantom Theater - but I hear many people praise it and want it back!!

  4. I remember King Cobra vaguely when I was little, but I wasnt tall enough to ride. I've seen many videos of it, and overall it looked like a great coaster.

    Also I have only rode Tomb Raider, but after it was changed to the Crypt I never rode it, was there much changed to it after Tomb Raider theme was removed?

    From what I remember (other member feel free to add to my experience or correct me if I'm wrong) the original Tomb Raider: the Ride had this big intro and short film also you couldn't see the ride from the room with the short film and when it was tomb raider the ride did many flips and spins and had a plot - a story - I myself felt like through the ride I was moving to different part in different rooms even though the ride what just going up down and around

    However the Crypt took away the intro/short film it took away the secrecy (you could see the ride operate while waiting) and it did much less movement (flips/spin) than it did when it was Tomb Raider. It was a great ride as Tomb Raider but as the Crypt it became lackluster and it lost its touch

  5. If you had the power to bring back ONE ride from Kings Island years past, which ride would you bring back?

    The years in ( ) are the years when the ride listed was operational at Kings Island

    **I have opted out of using ride from previous years that were in Nickelodeon Land / Hanna-Barbera Land (another poll for another time).

    In the poll, I have listed Son of Beast with the loop and without the loop as two options becasue I rode it both ways and felt that it changed the ride experience. Also, I have listed Tomb Raider and The Crypt seperatly becasuse the difference in the two ride experience was very different.

    My choice would have to be King Cobra and I know some maybe curious why I chose that one - Because I never rode it (granted I didn't ride alot of these) but that one intreges me the most becuase my dad has talked about riding it several times and that has always peaked my interest to have the experence.

    My second choice would be Phantom Theater, because Boo Blaster is lack luster and needs some love.

    I am curious to see how everyone feels, so VOTE!! (And let me know if I missed any that was you want back.)

  6. Most rides will let you store your cup in the rides station. However on Banshee and Firehawk you have to put your cup in a locker.

    Yeah that I know, I just meant like I'd have to get a locker for it anyone at Firehawk and Banshee cause of the cup so I was trying to decide on wearing a fanny pack or not but I didn't want to have to take it off like a backpack (except on Firehawk and Banshee)

  7. Just to make sure I'm getting this correct (just to help my decisions) if I take a fanny pack etc. I'll really only have to take it off on Banshee/Firehawk... I think I can deal with that if this is the case. We have one of the seasonal drink cups (I get dehydrated easily (thank medicine...) so we would have to get a locker leave them with someone regardless of pocket or what have you. But again thanks for all the answer and opinions they have been very helpful in trying to decide what to do!

  8. I really like the refillable cups!! I bought mine on line this year to save $5, but the first time I go all my refills are free and everytime after that all season long my refills are only 99 cents!! The cups are well sized and worth it for the price espically if you are a frequent visitor of KI.

  9. Thanks for all the tips guys!!!!! I do have one more question thought that I just thought of what it you have like a lanyard that holds you season pass but like holds you phones too.... wonder if they would just make me tuck it in me shirt or all the way off lol

  10. Hello everyone! Couple of questions -->

    1. Has anyone every worn a fanny pack, hip bag, or runners belt to Kings Island??

    2. Did they make you take it off on the rides?

    I have a runners belt that it flat and smooth on my skin (it fits well under my shirts when I run and it's not really noticeable) I was planning on wearing it this summer instead of carrying around a backpack (I find it annoying to take on and off and leaving in the bin for some else to pick up etc.) but if I'm going to have to take if on and off just like a back pack then there really isn't a point to changing form my backpack.

    Also I have a small fanny pack that is very similar just more poufy (bigger pockets) than the runners belt and I'm having the same concerns with it. So, I was just wondering if anyone has had an experiences with things like this!

    Thank you for you input, all help/stories is greatly appreciated!!! :D

  11. Has anyone ever taken a like a fanny pack or a hip back to KI??? Do they make you take them off for the rides or let you wear them?????? I have a small runners pouch that fits under my tshirts like a belt almost and I was just wondering if I could keep it on or if them would make me take it off

  12. I do agree with several post that I have seen on here that X - base needs some attention! It should be it's own section of the part and they could even add a few more rides to it! Maybe a new coaster in X base (something sci-fi to fit the theme) another launch coaster or would be cool but not indoor like Flight of Fear, something more like the Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal Studio! I think it would also be really cool to have a 4-D coaster at Kings Island!! I have never ridden a fourth demission coaster (like X2) and I would love too, they just sound awesome and the 4-D would also fit with the sci-fi X Base theme! :D
