      Is this the giant top spin?

      By DJSkyFoxx · Posted

      I miss this ride. Not the later version of it with the hokey un-theming. But I really miss the Tomb Raider experience. There was nothing else quite like it, especially around the Midwestern neck of the woods. I would be content with a standard Top Spin to take over the building and maybe do something else theming wise to it. They could mostly keep the rustic ambiance in there. Keep to River Town and do an abandoned saw mill. Incorporate some really cool log saws under the ride to give riders the effect they are going to be met with giant spinning toothed blades before flipping right back upward.  Doubt this would ever happen but never out of the realm of possibilities.

      Parking Lot Solar Panels?

      By DiamondbackFan · Posted

      I doubt they would cover all 40 acres.  Six Flags Great America is only covering 15 acres of parking lot with their 6.4 megawatt project.

      Parking Lot Solar Panels?

      By BeeastFarmer · Posted

      I have a solar array that provides all of the electricity needs on my farm. It's grid tied, meaning that it feeds into the grid and I get at 1:1 credit from them.  I also build up a bank of credits that gets applied in months such as this. I absolutely love my system. It's my understanding that this is similar to what magic mountain and great adventure do . They would need to cover the parking lot so that the panels face south. The parking lot, iirc, is about 40 acres?  That could produce quite a bit of electricity.  It would coast dearly to install.

      Parking Lot Solar Panels?

      By Hawaiian Coasters 325 · Posted

      This has sorta been on my mind for a while and I think this is a good discussion to have. In recent years, we have seen a few parks including a few legacy Six Flags parks convert their parking lots into giant solar farms. With the recent merger between Six Flags and Cedar Fair and the priority to cut down on certain extra costs, is it possible we could see these solar parking lots make their way to legacy Cedar Fair parks including Kings Island? It wouldn't really be a foreign concept here in the Cincy area as the Cincinnati Zoo has had parking lot solar panels for well over a decade now and it seems to work out great there. Obviously the cost to construct something like this in the KI parking lot would be pretty high. However, long term if it can cut down on energy costs, I think it would be a win win. I want to hear your thoughts on this idea. source for photo: https://www.sixflags.com/six-flags-magic-mountain-breaks-ground-on-californias-largest-solar-energy-project
