Creed Bratton 14506 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 What is crypt's theoretical capacity, I couldn't find it anywhere...but still Crypt's theoretical capacity was 564 per hour, with 12 cycles per hour. This of course with the capacity of 47 people per ride. As far as TR:TR unsure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tanna 3729 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I was on the Rock-O-Spin at Americana when lightening started to strike, the ride worker was so diligent about his duties, he didn't cut the ride short- We spent the entire duration of the ride wondering when we were going to get flash fried.

AintNutinElse2Do 671 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 One nice thing about flat rides is they free up some of the congestion in other lines. I would love to see some classics with a new take. Like take a Zipper but without cages and with Banshee like seats/restraints. A Whip that swings both ways like presented as a concept by www.gordonrides.com. A first-gen Intamin Drop Tower with a loop and magnetic braking. A WindSeeker with inward/outward maybe even rotating seats. A Der'Spinnin Keggers type ride with mini discs of outward facing seats. A Ferris Wheel of extreme nature adding restraints and great speed maybe to the point of inverting. I could go on... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Interpreter 82068 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Traver swing, tumble bug, flying coaster, whip, caterpillar, rotor and other rides not seldom seen today. Great! But that sneaky old double negative snuck in, again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calakapepe 8132 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Where would we even put a Ferris Wheel anyway? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upstop 12264 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 ^^ you could put a giant wheel in Oktoberfest. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RailRider 4173 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 First and foremost a Giant Wheel, KI needs one badly IMO. I would love to see one like they have at Disney's California Adventure. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedevariouseffect 14852 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I want one...but we kinda have an observation tower...But would I love to have one, but I don't see it happening Btw anyone else have the fear of those tipping, or dropping stuff, ect...Can't stick my arms outside of it with a camera or move around inside, seated, barely moving, just no. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
upstop 12264 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I hate the traditional wheels, but I like the bucket type wheels. Plus any tall attraction is kind of an observation tower view, but it would have some motion to it. I also like the idea of the Disney type wheel/coaster. The one at DA is fun and different. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calakapepe 8132 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Bucket wheels are great ^^ I'd like some flats behind the tower to bring more people towards the carousel and along the path between BLSC and Diamondback. Use the tower gardens for something maybe.. Get some more food stands along those paths aswell.. reopen the old fruit smoothie shack.. This is where I feel is most dead in the park. Starlight Spectacular, I feel, has had it's run and the only worthwhile additions are the trees with lights and the tower being lit up. Everything else looks tacky and weird. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlondyRidesOn 1850 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Traver swing, tumble bug, flying coaster, whip, caterpillar, rotor and other rides not seldom seen today. Didn't another company buy Traver? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheBEASTunchained 8776 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I would really honestly like to see a HUSS Enterprise ride like Witches Wheel at Cedar Point installed at Kings Island.... or possibly one of their "Fly Away" models.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Interpreter 82068 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 HUSS Enterprises are being removed left and right. In fact, Wheelie at Six Flags Over Georgia was removed the end of last season. Kings Island had the long gone Sky Lab. Camden Park's Enterprise had a serious incident years ago and was removed.

AintNutinElse2Do 671 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 However Terp Wheelie at SFOG was not a Huss. It was Schwarzkopf (sp?) and it now lives on nicely at Fun Spot in Orlando. KK's is also being fixed up though I'm unaware of it's manufacturer. I will say while the Huss ones do come closer to a 90° tilt I enjoy the Schwartzkopf version better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TeTe27 428 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Bring back "Wheel of Fortune". That was a fun ride!! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thunderbeast1968 253 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I have mentioned this in another post. Flat rides, How about Rotor, Bayern Kurve, Der Spinner Kegger. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YoungStud 2694 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I would do a screaming swing like cp's. Hopefully this one will be reliable. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fanofFirehawk 2396 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Does anyone here know what issue with Skyhawk is? I really like that ride, but I only have rode it once. I go to Kings Island half of the time and Cedar Point so that is quite a few trips with it down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedevariouseffect 14852 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Blown Cable Guide Drum/Piston/Cable...I'm guessing cable guide drum as that was the original part w/ the cables that was replaced off season/early season It's running now one sided (again)...Hopefully by next season she'll be running good. S&S makes very safe reliable rides, and very thrilling.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Diamondbacker 1337 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'm thinking of something to go where the Tower Gardens sit. Maybe like an Electric Rainbow or something. Sure, it's a little bit amateur, but it's fun. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
homestar92 16347 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I want to see a Musik Express or the return of the Bayern Kurve. But if we get a Musik express, I DON'T want them to use the speed that CP uses for the Super Himalaya. That was boring. The Musik Express at Kennywood is awesome, and easily two or three times faster. Speaking of Kennywood, I would LOVE to see a flying coaster! (Not to be confused with a flying roller coaster, which we already have and it is entirely different). For those unfamiliar with the Flying Coaster, here is footage of the only one currently operating in the world: 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
