thunderbeast1968 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just a rumor. I heard that Dippin' Dots is to be removed from Kings Island. Where are we gonna get our "inside" info from?? I am just kidding guys, don't take me seriously. I just noticed that KIC members refer to "The Dippin' Dots" guy for their rumors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglados Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Flight Deck got a new paint Job it'll be there for a while... JK Vortex and Flight Deck are getting up there age wise. I'll be sad when they get to the point on removing the Flight of Fear. I think Flight of Fear will have a lot more time then those two rides sense it's a fair popular ride still and is indoor protected from weather. Also it seems they can change the track around on the ride because ever time I go it seems differnt. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 No More dippin dots! Sure hope Vortex makes it a few more years at least, but if Screamscape is right then the newest looper may be going to Action Zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick00 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I agree with someone above, it's a rumor site. A lot of the rumors actually do come true. And the rumors that are crazy, he'll say take it with a grain of salt. It's a great site to keep up to date on parks too, its not just rumors.

The Interpreter Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Some threads deserve a reading from the beginning, by new users....by those who have gained a new perspective since last they read it, and, sometimes, for other reasons. There is a LOT of wisdom in this thread. A lot of total blarney, too. Nevertheless, it deserves reading. All eight pages (so far). Read and ponder.

shark6495 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 From what I was told by people I know, Vortex last year will be 2014. As with any unconfirmed information just like Screamscape, take it as a rumor. Well 2014 has come and pass........ I just hope Vortex is around long enough for my 3-year-old daughter to ride it. Every time we went to KI this summer she asked if she was tall enough to ride the "loopty-loop" yet. She really wants to ride it! She just hit 40 inches early in the season, so I don't expect her to hit the 48 inch mark until at least the 2014 season, and that's wishful thinking. I want her to be able to experience one of my favorite rides. :-) Im actually generally interested to know if she hit the 48 mark... Never take anything for granted. This time last year, The Wildcat at Cedar Point was a given for 2012. Crews were even hired for it. The NJ Great American Scream Machine closed very quickly. Enjoy what you can, while you can. Amen! Each reply keeps the conversation going...and going....and going. Yet you replied to a year old thread... makes a person go hmmmmmm.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Beast's demolition was still fresh on the mind, so it probably didn't feel that far fetched to say they'd take another one down. Not to say it'd ever be far fetched.

homestar92 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 But to take down a ride that still moves lines, has plenty of fans, is relatively low maintenance, and still reasonably popular is quite a bit more far-fetched than to demolish one that sat unused for years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The Vortex has to be "tired" after all those laps. I hope they don't retire Vortex any time soon. But, I have no inside information as to its' upkeep costs or popularity because I'm not basing any of my opinion on the matter from what I have observed. What I have observed is a small portion of what actually happens throughout an entire season or even over its' lifetime (since I've been around that long), so I can't say with any authority any of the details that we are discussing here. And unless you are someone who has that kind of info, than all 8 pages are simple guesses made from observations...groundbreaking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco2000 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hmm..could a topic not touched for 20 months suddenly being bumped by the ever-cryptic Terpy serve as a clue as to the future fate of such ride? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindingSon Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I will say it is odd to have terpy bump both the Viking Fury and Vortex "leaving" threads after months of inactivity. Perhaps he knows something that we don't, preparing us for the inevitable retirement of these rides. Perhaps it's a hint that a different attraction could be saying goodbye. Perhaps there was no goal beyond the posting. It's still an interesting look back. If Vortex is to go soon, I apologize for riding it and enjoying it only just recently. You know the story of how that goes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOBwasaSOB Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Vortex may be my favorite ride. It is certainly the most picturesque at KI (of what I have seen i would say anywhere). I will be so very depressed if it is retired. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
