dr_humor Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I actually enjoyed the diversion, upstop...it made me laugh. Even if it was just laughing on the inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I don't for one moment believe this is going to be a dive coaster. A dive machine would be a welcome addition to say X-base, but otherwise not the best way to use the large plot of land that was occupied by SoB imo.

A dive machine would be a welcome addition to say X-base, but otherwise not the best way to use the large plot of land that was occupied by SoB imo. Why not a dive machine plus a new area? The new ride does not need to take up all of SoB old land. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sexy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Dive machine is a gimmick coaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Wait a second...what if this isn't a roller coaster at all being built, but some sort of water ride? Those can have footers, too... Or...Intamin Aquatrax. Half coaster, half water ride, 100% soaking wet fun. McSalsa, who knows nothing and is just throwing everything at this, hoping something sticks... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoeter Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm thinking a lot of people will be upset if we end up getting a ride like Shoot The Rapids at Cedar Point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster.Rider.Kings Island Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 A water ride would be okay, but I don't think it is what Kings Island needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 A water ride would be okay, but I don't think it is what Kings Island needs. No - it actually wouldn't be okay. And it's definitely not what Kings Island needs. Three is enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ride does not need to take up all of SoB old land. Try drawing up a dive machine and a new area so we can see what it would look like.

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm no expert on dive coasters, but why is it automatically assumed that one would be short? Have all of them been short with boring layouts or something? Is there no room for innovation there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sexy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 due to the bulkiness of the trains they are not very nimble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSalsa Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 For those who do not know, a link to today's announcement: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27456-dive-in-movies/ Well, screw my wet ride theory. Unless they plan on building B&M's answer to Intamin Aquatrax...a dive machine with a 300'+ drop AND a soaking wet splashdown finale...aka, one that actually soaks you!

If the kids get rougher as the lineage goes along, I'm sure we'll all be dead by the first rides on Project 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdawg1998 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Invertigo is a family coaster? And it's more than 30 seconds long. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I agree we have enough short rides. Flight Deck Invertigo Back lot Stunt Track Firehawk All awesome, but... sometimes a drag if there's a long wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Neither the ride formerly known as Top Gun or the ride currently known as Invertigo are 30 seconds long. They are 1:52 & 1:30 respectively. That said, your opinion of what is a waste of money is another's dream ride, first ride, or simply still fun for many of us. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contradiction much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
