Happy 30 Years To Flight of Fear! 👽
Rustbucket replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
I really like FoF. Actually, I like FoF after they removed over the shoulder restraints. Very nice theming as well as funny queue video. I once had a rollback on KI FoF. -
Fun Spot Atlanta ArieForce One Relocation to KI?
Rustbucket replied to ReedObsessor's topic in Kings Island
I am not sure if SFoG would be an option with Twisted Cyclone there. AF1 is much better coaster but so similar. My guess is that parks with RMC would not consider this. Only difference being AF1 being a ground up RMC so that there is a uniqueness about it. Other retrofit RMCs are very similar to each other. -
Fun Spot Atlanta ArieForce One Relocation to KI?
Rustbucket replied to ReedObsessor's topic in Kings Island
One place that may have some flat space is Carowinds. Other Funspot parks do not have space, I think. Orlando location does not have space. Maybe Kissimmee location back parking lot could be an option. SeaWorld? I am not sure if BGT can do this. -
Fun Spot Atlanta ArieForce One Relocation to KI?
Rustbucket replied to ReedObsessor's topic in Kings Island
Arie Force One is located on nearly flat ground. I am not sure if there are any location at KI that can accommodate this coaster except for parking lot. -
Kings Island General Discussion 2026
Rustbucket replied to Losantiville Mining Co.'s topic in Kings Island
I believe the rule is lightning strike within 10 miles. They are closed for 30 minutes. The time resets after each lightning strike within 10 miles. -
Son of Beast was arguably the most picturesque coaster in history. I miss seeing SoB looking down from Drop Tower.

With KI no longer being my home park when we moved away in 2017, I cannot ride Orion like I did like Drop Tower (10,665), Diamondback (7,500+) and The Beast (2,000+). I am at 250 on Orion now.

Dollywood New 2023 Attraction
Rustbucket replied to Orion13's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Tracks behind Dragonflier. This coaster foot print is extremely large. Many footings are placed. These pictures are from 10/26/2022. -
Thanks for posting this. I hope they will get this fixed. Grizzly was the first wooden coaster I rode as well as my first coaster in the US. I was there on the opening day for that coaster at KD.

Dollywood New 2023 Attraction
Rustbucket replied to Orion13's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I started to see footings for the new coaster. Also, some structures are being built near the entrance of Wildwood Grove. The foot print of this coaster is extremely large. These photos were taken on 9/11/2022. -
Nice trip report. We were at Carowinds on Sunday. Even though it rained off and on, the park was really busy. Monday was extremely rainy so we stayed away.

Mr Freeze at SFoT to close
Rustbucket replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I really like Mr Freeze. One of those coasters that are unexpectedly good. Knowing SF, they will retheme the Ride.
