What ride did KI make the biggest mistake in getting ride of

[CoastersRZ 5931]

The last couple years of Kenton`s Cove Keelboat Canal, the ride was really starting to show its age. I am glad that they renovated the original log flume (that actually opened at Coney in 1968).  Keep in mind that while Tomb Raider was the direct replacement for that ride, Diamondback traverses through the area that was the final drop of this ride as well.

Vortex. With seemingly nothing ready to take its place it is a terrible time for it to meet its demise.

TRTR. The best theming in the park just taken away to become...... a hunt maze. SMH

Son of Beast obviously.

Just wanting to know: Do you know WHY Kings Island removed The Son of Beast? Just out of curiosity.

Nickelodeon Universe. My strengthened immunity and muscularity I gained from climbing around in that jungle gym tower thing still serves me to this day.

My two choices are from the Paramount Era:

• KCKC
• Phantom Theater

For me, hands down, is the original Antique Cars.  Partly because of the ride itself, but also due to its proximity to the Eiffel Tower and International Street.  The Tower is the hub of the whole park - and has definitely earned "iconic" status - and I feel that that area around it should reflect that.  The Italian Job, and now BLSC, would have been fantastic in Action Zone, and would still fit perfectly to this day.

I would say getting rid of both the Antique cars and the eagles were a mistake. The fact that they brought them back (albeit they were smaller versions) clearly means a lot of people really missed both attractions dearly.

It would be interesting to see how the area would look if Paramount hadn't removed the original Antique Cars, and then Cedar Fair removed only the abandoned side and built Mystic Timbers (or a different name/theme, but still a Rivertown GCI) interwoven with the operating track. They might have even had enough clearance to both go through and cross under the covered bridge on the abandoned side.

Heck, maybe the then-clear side of the covered bridge could have been the holding brake that the Shed acts as for three-train operations without baking the riders waiting there, with the transfer after that leading into the station...
