  1. Some above fence pics Also saw them working on the Crypt building. I'm not sure there was anything to it but found it interesting.
  2. ^ I would love to see us get Ragin' Cajun and the Nebulaz. We are one of the few parks in the chain that doesn't have a Wild Mouse.
  3. ^ A Family Entertainment Center. Scene 75 and Malibu Jack's are some local examples.
  4. I agree. @BoddaH1994 made a great point on the Tower Topics episode above about how flat that piece of land is. That does make it ideal for a Screamin' Swing. I know we frequently joke on here about the 20 year gap between CP and KI: Magnum in '89, Diamondback in '09 Raptor in '94, Banshee '14 Millennium in '00, Orion '20 Ironically, Skyhawk will have its 20 year anniversary in '26. Even more telling is Maverick has its 20 year anniversary in '27. We could get the Screamin' Swing next year as the "family thrill" attraction. It has a 48 inch requirement after all. It is also something they could work with S&S on and probably get a package deal to put a Screamin' Swing in several parks over the next few years similar to what Busch just did. Then we could get a new modern Maverick-like multilaunch in '27.
  5. I just watched them take another one. A retheme would be nice especially if something is going in The Vortex spot in '26.
  6. I can definitely see Skyflyer getting removed with the ones at Wonderland and CP being taken out. As far as WindSeeker, I always thought it was in a weird bottlenecked location. I would be surprised if it was taken out but it is closed quite a bit (anytime it finds wind lol).
  7. Thanks, sorry for the confusion. It would be great if they moved all of the electric underground on that side of the park.
  8. There is a new easement on the Warren County site from November that reads like it is to put the Duke lines in Soak City underground.
  9. Mamba holds a lot more significance to that park though than Slingshot did to KI. I realize anything is possible but I can't see it happening as it, Prowler, and Patriot are the best coasters in the park. With the lack of love they give WOF I'm surprised they are even painting it especially a different color scheme. It is also a workhorse unlike say Ka or Nighthawk.
  10. Mamba is getting repainted so it won't be that. I could see Zulu though.
  11. To the Gerstlauer point, I would love to see the Infinity coaster as it checks a ton of boxes. Curb appeal, dive elements that aren't as forced as a B&M dive, inversions, and most importantly for families a 48 inch height requirement. It is a great successor to Vortex in that location. It is also worth noting that Baker Concrete is listed on the NOC and one of the projects they have listed on their website is the footings for Pipeline at SWO.
  12. I think KI is concerned with both Kentucky Kingdom and Holiday World. Which I believe is the reason why KI is doing more attractions with Winterfest this year. Also there is part of me that thinks they are holding the family thrill attraction piece close to the vest until they get confirmation on what Herschend is doing. I don't think it was a coincidence that we have gotten many of the same flats (in the case of Kentucky Kingdom) and a coaster (in the case of Holiday World). I just need one of those parks to put in a Screamin' Swing so they'll add one to KI.
  13. I would not be surprised to see Killmart get demolished and a new restaurant put there. That area gets a ton of foot traffic.
