TTD-120-420 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 They put "YOLO" in Full Throttle's promo video. Wow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 ^ The announcement seemed to be made for the 80s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I didn't like how every ride needed a cheesey catch phrase at the end of its segment, but its about the rides and not about how awkward the video is to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I hope KI gets Luminousity next year, I went to Cedar Point this year and really enjoyed the show at the end of the night. Everyone left the park singing "Call Me Maybe", it was fun! I could see it coming into AZ with a re-vamp..but we'll have to wait and see I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 With Son of Beast coming down and season passes on sale. I don't think Kings Island will get something big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 With Son of Beast coming down and season passes on sale. I don't think Kings Island will get something big. Hopefully continue to improve FoF, BLSC, and/or AE Or smoothing out either Vortex or The Racer. The blue racer was shaking itself apart it felt like. Didn't ride red this year so far.

In my opinion, any night-ending show at Kings Island should somehow make use of the Royal Fountains and IS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Just don't put a huge ugly stage in front of the Eiffel Tower. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 ^ I'd actually very much be in favor of them revamping the small stage between the Eiffel Tower and the fountains into a Luminosity-esque stage, though definitely without the back wall. Rely more heavily on floor lighting in the stage and lighting off the 50-foot observation deck, and then you've got a clear view of the fountains, which could be included lighting-wise as part of the show like how Millennium Force, Giant Wheel, and Power Tower are at CP. (Or at least that's what was mentioned when Luminosity was announced... I haven't heard anything to that effect since, and I haven't seen the show myself.) I don't know that I'd like the show to be exactly like Cedar Point's, either. The impression I get from the photos I've seen is that it's very futuristic and heavy-bass pop-oriented. Those are fitting choices for CP, but I feel like pushing the futuristic aspect at Kings Island, combined with the large area the stage would likely include at the base of the tower/head of the fountains, would likely damage the atmosphere of International Street. I can't think of a substantial example off the top of my head of what theme would look good, but it would need to be something that still blends into International Street during the day when all the effects are off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick00 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I agree, the only downside of Luminosity is the midway during the day. It looks terrible and it would look way more worse if it was at Kings Island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 They should have fired the guy who designed the Luminosity stage. I would rather the big screen than that scaffolding-monstrosity of an eye sore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
