It would have to be a very compact design though. The ride would have to fit within a 105x110 space. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Shawn Meyer 1333 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I would be all for making the height of the last building a little smaller. It doesn't need to be that tall anymore since the crypt isn't in the building anymore. I know it would cost extra money to do that, but you would be able to see more of Diamondback going thru the course instead of a big giant eyesore building. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SonofBaconator 13520 Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 With Vortex's land being the biggest elephant in the room for KI, I think the Crypt building will continue to be put on the back burner as it isn't really losing the park any money at this point and functions as a haunt attraction. Sometime this decade I expect it to be touched but I wouldn't hold my breath with Covid-19 pushing any potential projects back. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude 24 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I think the idea of putting a custom wild mouse inside the Crypt structure is great. They could incorporate an elevator lift instead of a lift hill to save space. They could also reuse old theming and and add some more around the ride itself and be a runaway mine ride! 3 Link to post Share on other sites

super7 432 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Put a mountain facade on it and make it a family dark ride like Calico Mine Ride at Knotts. That building and junkyard coaster are the biggest eyesores in the park. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

WhatTheBlazes 273 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I think this building would be good for a large virtual motion ride like Battle for the Eire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Only instead of riding on the magical Irish fairy creature, you could be riding on the back of The Beast, paws with the broken chains and all, on a mission to take out the Mystic Timbers Creatures. I think it'd be awesome and perfect for Rivertown 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Stitch 1179 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 It's hard to envision anything other than another flat ride being able to work within the space the attraction building provides. I think they should just demolish it and start fresh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SonofBaconator 13520 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Been thinking a lot about the Crypt building recently. Is it an eyesore? Yes. With that said, however, I think demolishing it would have a lot of lost potential. I think the wild mouse idea wouldn't be bad idea. The Dark Knight coaster keeps coming to mind and KI could easily do something like an abandoned mine shaft like Mystery Mine at Dollywood. I think KI needs more indoor attractions and while wild mouses don't have excellent capacity, it would give us another indoor attraction. Heck you could even have indoor and outdoor sections like Mystery Mine if they wanted. The outside could get a wood facade or something to give it that mine shaft look. I don't know the feasibility of building a coaster inside an existing building that was designed for an entirely different ride, but I think tearing the building down without exhausting all other options would be a waste in my opinion. On a side note, I'd love to see KI get a more immersive dark ride styled coaster in general, whether it be like Mystery Mine or Blazing Fury from Dollywood. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

MillenniumforceMike 39 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) area for the crypt show building is 11,278 sq ft. what if they did a small flat ride like a zamperla nebulaz? Edited August 25, 2020 by MillenniumforceMike not info ideas 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SonofBaconator 13520 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 I assume the building is most likely on the chopping block for a flat or something but I always wondered how a small, indoor-outdoor coaster like Mystery Mine would look. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Hawaiian Coasters 325 6279 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Here's a quick and easy idea that could be done to just make it look better, but I would rather them do this in junction with turning the building into some type of dark ride. Maybe a haunted hotel themed dark ride. I called it Hotel Phantom to pay homage to Phantom Theater: Link to photo used: https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x88405801b48c9003%3A0x64f9f426e5e19765!3m1!7e115!4shttps%3A%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPT9-R0xB7cCJ62410rLZVnO3MfEEPlH6OQeWmX%3Dw213-h160-k-no!5sKings Island - Google Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipMn4GuyolFvNGUzgnx1TMDcV4famhbOvoLZQ0fT&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjEr-Pu0ZrvAhXLGs0KHf08CvIQoiowKHoECFoQAw 4 Link to post Share on other sites
