Fye Coasters Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Do you guys think planet oasis will have effect on Ki and Cp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I think the more interesting question is "Will the latter do anything to have an effect on the former?" (see "Frontier World") 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I do not think it will have any impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 It actually may help both parks. This is clearly a destination park and is nearly equidistant between KI and CP at right about 2 hours drive. Many could include two or all three in their vacation. Did Universal hurt Disney or just make central Florida a more popular destination? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Good points there @King Ding Dong! More things to do give reasoning for multi day trips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I don’t understand why anyone thinks it will hurt. There’s only gonna be a Sky wheel and a “ coaster” that isn’t a coaster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Because families as a majority don’t plan trips based on roller coasters they base it on things for the whole family to do. Plus if it’s being touted as a destination park, then families usually do something 1-2x per year. If they choose OASIS over KI then that hurts KISent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyNotAnActor Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm interested in what KI and CP will do to compete with Planet Oasis. I feel it could bring some new and exciting things for both parks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 No. There are plenty of family attractions in Ohio that people are able to do for a day. Zoos, museums, down here in Cincinnati and Dayton there's Scene75, sporting events, outdoor activities...I find it highly unlikely many families will begin to choose this overly hyped, and in my opinion, most likely underwhelming entertainment center that seems to be an oversized, as I mentioned before, Scene75. Kings Island and Cedar Point are still the go-to destinations for major trips around the area. This will be a mere blip on the radar, in which a parent will wake up one day and think "Hey, let's all go to Planet Oasis". I may be pretty scathing on this development, but I really don't think it's going to be all that. Edit: I am also getting annoyed by news headlines describing it as "an amusement park four times the size of Disneyland". It is not an amusement park. And it is no way anywhere in relation to Disneyland. Coney Island is more like Disneyland than this will be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm not 1000% certain it's really going to happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindingSon Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 This sounds like one of those projects where they’re lucky if the ground gets broken before investors start pulling out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 yeaaaah I mean I am in Central Ohio and haven't heard anything about it since they news broke. I can say that did plan on breaking ground in Oct I believe. I mean it sounds fun and stuff but its not gonna be a KI or CP. As kids grow older then want roller coasters. I don't see that hindering anyone's plans. CP and KI are on another level and they want those shows and rides for all ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy is ramping up, and an unscrupulous investor may see an opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
