CrazyKay07 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Nope, but I hope it is either a thrill ride, or some kind of roller coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Son of Beast Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I hope it's a rollercoaster maybe something big like Millenium Force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Bowser Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 It's most likely a flat ride but noone knows...yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialk141 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 huss filed for bankruptcy.... so we''ll see if they have any giants left in their warehouse they might sell cheap.... ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Bankrupt, but not necessarily out of business. Several airlines went bankrupt in recent years, but they continue to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamingnight Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Im either hoping for a B&M inverted or a screamin swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swanky333 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 yeah I'm new here haha, but if I could see any new ride, i hoping for something in the roller coaster area, maybe something like The Vortex, with more inversions. Or a second Flight of Fear-esque ride. Inside a building like a spaghetti bowl. That'd be wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortexlover2 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I heard Demon Drop was for sale at Cedar Point, maybe we'll get that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Nobody knows. Not yet. I wouldn't be too sure of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I heard Demon Drop was for sale at Cedar Point, maybe we'll get that I doubt it since KI already has a Drop Tower. No need to buy an older, albeit, similar ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerJay Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 PKI doesn't seem to have as much fun with it's fan base, unlike CP. Cedar Point's been teasing visitors with the construction of a new ride and some hints in signs and on blogs. They up the anticipation by treating it like a game, unlike PKI. Hopefully CF will change that. . . As for what's coming next year, who knows? I would pray it's not another flat. But then again, if it's just another standard coaster, that might not be a good thing either. I would hope for something new, innovative and well-themed. . . But it'll probably either be a flat or a coaster named for a movie few people liked and then forgot about in a few years. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Do you not remember all the hype that Kings Island made out of Tomb Raider? Secondly, I think it is probably another flat ride but what is wrong with that? The park could use another flat ride in Coney Mall after that area has seen several removed (noticably the Eagles and the Antique Cars). And don`t count on anything innovative or heavily themed. Since the capital projects were set before the Cedar Fair takeover, I`m assuming that nothing spectacular was planned. That being said, Cedar Fair has stated that the possible theme and names to next year`s new additions have not been decided upon. In all likely hood, if names had been decided upon, they might be changed, especially if Cedar Fair to drops all the Paramount licenses for next season. That issue alone could prove rather interesting for next season if Cedar Fair does in fact drop the Paramount licenses. Rides like Italian Job and Tomb: Raider primarily could be drastically affected by any such change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Ackbar Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think I'll put my money with some kind of new water slide - maybe even a master blaster water coaster. They could use something else for the water park. It isn't all that good compared to Splashin Safari over here. My daughter was pretty bored with Boomerang Bay last time we went.

cstrwomann Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I hope it's a new tower of inner tube slides for the water park they need more of these IMO or a new swing like they put in at Valley Fair and Cedar Point this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzarley Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 ...or a "Sky Swatter" (not sure if that's the correct model name or not). I think those things look like a blast... Where there any other installations other than at SFAW? (And, where did their's get moved?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 ^Yeah, it is called the Sky Swatter. I think that would be a great addition for Kings Island. I think that they could also use a boomerang bay addition. I'd like to see one of those master blasters installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedv6 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Huss did file for bankruptcy.. but.. I also heard tha t they are workign on a minimal staff and are reopenign under a differant name.. something like wher eit was Huss Rides before.. now it's Huss entertainment.. along those liens cause to be honest I'm not sure what the real name for huss is.. i just call it huss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Picard Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Huss did file for bankruptcy.. but.. I also heard tha t they are working on a minimal staff and are reopenign under a differant name.. something like wher eit was Huss Rides before.. now it's Huss entertainment.. along those liens cause to be honest I'm not sure what the real name for huss is.. i just call it huss I wonder if that was to get out of fixing rides like TR and Delirium. There was problems with both and TR still is not right. I heard the park wasn't to do any work on TR or Huss wouldn't back the ride. It doesn't seem that they are anyway. As for Screamin Swing, I think it's a good ride but I was surprised by the short lines. The one at Kennywood is a walk on and the one at Cedar Point is like 15 min. That would make you think they are not such a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterville Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Depends on what day you go to Kennywood - I went last Saturday and the Swingshot had a full queue. Of course that was on a Saturday. "No one goes to an amusement park on a Saturday, it's way too crowded" I did think the ride itself was really fun, and would make a great addition to any park. That is a wee bit unnerving at the top of the arc when the swing starts to go back down, and your body wants to keep going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 And the Kennywood one is great. The one at Cedar Point is even larger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortexlover2 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 When I went to Cedar Point the line was entirly full, and all of the little sections were open. We were on in 15 minutes. Skyhawk is a great ride, but its really short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Sleeps Tonight Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Most of the people here at PKI are thinking were geting a tilt coaster(staff and etc.) Also if im certain there were track spoting not far from pki. most people thought it was a B&M Dive Machine.

TheKlockster Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Indeed. I can say with some certainty that I am the only person on this forum to have seen the track, as I live near the factory. There is nothing for Kings Island - which means no dive machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker8388 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Now I don't know what KI has planned but I can say with near certainty that there will be no roller coaster coming next year unless it is something small along a wild mouse type ride. I say this for the same reason I said that a Spongebob coaster wasn't coming last year even though many people claimed "they knew for sure" that a Spongebob coaster was coming. The simple fact is that roller coasters take many many months to plan out. There is surveying and markers placed months before ground work even begins. Unless someone out there has seen markers all over the ground, a coaster will not be coming. It's getting too late in the season to just beginning marking, unless if it's a very small coaster. I hate to be pessimistic but don't get your hopes up for a large coaster; it won't be coming. I also imagine CF wouldn't want one of their parks that is close to compete with CP's mystery coaster for next year. Hopefully, 2008 will be the year for a large coaster.
