WooferBearATL Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 3 years before the profit drops and they turn to resturaunt only! WOW We think on similar lines. Three years, restaurant struggles but is on verge of turning profit. But due to the rent on such a large space it is unable to succeed. Closes in 3 years.

Gordon Bombay Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Went there last night with Boddah1994, Dane, CoastersRZ, and Captain Nemo. (Expect the photo tr soon). Much to our surprise (we figured we would get bored and end up walking around the mall) we really enjoyed it. The Krazy City indoor amusement park was a blast! It's under good leadership too! The head of operations is a stand up guy and former manager from Kings Island. I can see this place lasting longer than 3 years, prices were reasonable, there was lots of entertainment, I'm sure kids will love it. Don't knock it till you've tried it, we set the bar low and were really surprised. -Gordon Bombay, who is sitting in Columbus International Airport waiting for a flight to Philly, browsing KIC and filling out a TSA customer service review.

Not knocking it. But I know a fair amount about Tri County mall. I was a manager at Skolnick's Bagel Bakery when the mall transitioned to a two story mall. I don't see a venture such as being successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yep. We had a great time at Krazy City. It was really a fun night! I will get the photo trip report up later today/this evening. The Skyscraper was an extremely fun and fast ride, that had some pops of air too! I don`t know. I think this place can be successful. It will be interesting to see how this place looks and is doing a year from now, and even a couple years from now. I have to be honest that the attached sit down restaurant looked rather empty all night (and way overstaffed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIDelirium Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 is Skyscraper an actual Skyscraper ride or a wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 let me take a different spin on this. This will the place that "dad takes the kids while mom is shopping." My wife and i visited this past week and my thoughts were- ok our daughter and I will hang out here while you stress for hours over the same pair of shoes from three different stores. this will end up being a haven for dads and toddlers.

Forest Fair Mall had thought that with their mini park as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 The difference here being that there are many more and varied offerings for the shopper at Tri-County than at Forest Fair.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WooferBearATL Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 The difference here being that there are many more and varied offerings for the shopper at Tri-County than at Forest Fair.... Not when it opened. Actually Forrest Fair had 4 or 5 Anchor Stores that were new to Cincinnati, Biggs and an enormous food court. I'm willing to wait. We can check the progress at 3 years.

Outdoor Man Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 if i'm not mistaken though, Forest fair was trying to appeal to the upper-income crowd and got trumped when the Kenwood Mall crossed the street. They were trying to introduce stores like Lord & Taylor, a suburban Saks 5th Avenue, Parisian- ie some high-end stores... then try to mix it up with a Biggs, amusement area, and a psychodelic movie theater.... anyone remember those lights?

adventure2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Well a buddy of mine went also and he said it blew the one at Forest Fair mall away. Maybe they will have better luck with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, the theater was the first $1 theater in the area. There was a Bonwitt Teller and a couple others. LOL, and that was a misconception that it was Kenwood Mall that moved across the street. Actually it was Kenwood Plaza that was converted into Kenwood Towne Center. Kenwood Mall (which prior to the Towne Center was the busiest mall in suburban Cincinnait) operated for many years after the Towne Center opened. The mall struggled for years and was finally raised to Build Sycamore Center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
