  1. I'd love to see both sides of Racer open & Woodstock Express open. In my 2 nights at Winterfest I felt like there just needed to be a few more things for guest to do. Other than that's Winterfest has been a hit!!
  2. I'd like to see a Mack Multi-Launch personally. I don't think we'll see a Intiman Blitz anytime soon. Mack and RMC seem to be 2 of the hottest manufacturers right now. I'd love to see KI invest into a large scale Mack coaster. Now if we got an RMC I would want it to be a ground up topper track coaster. If we were to get a conversion I think Racer would be the best option. But I also don't see that happening because of what Racer has done for the industry. I don't think The Beast has the layout for an RMC. It would be hard to RMC long straight away's. I think The Beast is fine the way it is. Mystic Timbers won't be touched because it's new and an amazing ride.
  3. I think it would be cool if we could all try and due a meet up at KD for the Opening of Twisted Timbers. I remember I missed you guys at Carowinds by 1 week. I went down the following weekend.
  4. I'm heading to the park now. Does anybody know what the crowd is like? I don't anticipate the crowds being very big today though.
  5. This is what I'd like to see installed if we are not getting a restaurant. I think this is the closest KI will get to a wing rider, at least for awhile. Thunderbird & GateKeeper are not that far away. So I think this would make sense.
  6. The park was dead last Sunday. Literally everything was a walk on the first few hours & thats including Mystic Timbers. As the day progressed the crowds never really did. Nothing was more than a station wait. It was windy & rained a little which may have helped with crowd control, but I wouldn't expect large crowds at all. It should be a great day for you.
  7. Find it hard to believe all you want, it's no sweat of my back. But it's what happened. TBH it didn't looked like the group of guys cared at all. I was taking pics from the road and asked the guys who were outside workign if I could come down and take some closer pics. They told me they didn't care.
  8. A crazy Ferris Wheel like this. I think it would be awesome to slide from in inner part to the outer part like this does. My other choice would be an S&S Screamin Swing, these are just awesome!!!
  9. All my pics from Friday showed up around noon today.
  10. I'm down for the T-shirts idea. Love the Logo idea on the front, & im ok with a plain back. But if your willing to spend a little extra it would be neat to have our usernames on the back. But in all reality it's just cheaper to do the plain back.
  11. The worlds first GigaStrat. I love the idea!!!! I'd def want the lift hill to be over 300ft, I'd like it to be around 340 to be exact. Then use the terrain to its advantage by shooting the drop into a ravine adding another 60 feet making the drop 400 feet. It would be a bigger version of the way Apollo's Chariot was designed. Now I know it's not likely to happen that way if it happens at all. But man that would be awesome if it did.
  12. I think this ride would fit in just fine. Not all rides have to have huge capacity. Surf Dog fits into Kings Island quite nicely and I'd assume these 2 rides have similar capacity. Although I do think it's a type-o "like IndyGuy stated" it would be neat to see a ride that has RMC track. This may be the closest KI get to an RMC for awhile as RMC manufactures the track for these attractions.
  13. I know, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was offended, sorry if that was the case. I would hope people wouldn't jeopardize something we all have a passion for. I surely wouldn't, I love it to much. But you never know about others. I've usually stop by on my way to KI usually every other time I go to the park. I just then it's so cool that Clermont Steel is the main manufacturer in the states for B&M. This season alone I've seen Blue, Red, Purple, Teal, Grey, Yellow, Orange, and Peach colored track this season.
  14. Clearly, that's I why I asked the guys who were by the track if I could take a few pics. They had no problem with it. I'm not that stupid.
  15. I snapped these Friday on my way to haunt. It's pretty neat to be able to stop by and see what coasters are being made next. I'm pretty sure this is bound for Asia. Anyone have a clue what model this B&M is?
  16. A ride like Helix would be amazing. Personally I want the Giga more but the Mack Multi-Launch would be choice #2 for me.
  17. I loved Outlaw Run. I wouldn't mind seeing KI get a longer version of something similar. But I've thought for awhile that if KI were ever to get rid of Vortex that a T-Rex would fit beautifully in that footprint. I think that's what we'll see is a T-Rex but I'd prefer the ground up woodie.
  18. I'll miss seeing how excited my kids got when we took them back to the Dino's. but I'm ready for something different. KI's Dinosaur's Alive reminded me a lot of Worlds of Funs version. They are both very similar and super long.
  19. I wonder if KI could top the drop on Red Force the Intiman Accelerator in Europe. I think it's 368 feet. If KI uses the Dino land I wonder if they could build around 320-330 but make the drop like 370-380 by shooting the drop into a valley. Kind of like the way Apollo's Chariot is done. I think that would make KI's Giga extremely awesome and unique. Anyways just a thought I had.
  20. That would be cool. My son loves the Dino's, but I want the Giga lol. We went to Disney a few years back & Legoland. That's about a grand for 3 people for 3 days. My sons favorite thing we did that whole trip was go to Dinosaur World just outside Tampa. It was less than 40 bucks for all 3 of us for the day. So I hope they could do an attraction with these Dino's similar to Dinosaur World. But I'm not gonna hold my breath.
  21. I'm very excited for this event! My kids are gonna love it, most of their favorite rides are open. With this being a family event & a lot of Planet Snoopy being open I'm really surprised that Woodstock Express isn't gonna be open & Surf Dog as well.
  22. Hopefully Don is reading these. I know he's on here some. Hopefully he see'd that a lot of people want a Giga and he can help push for one. Fingers crossed, lol!!!
  23. Actually they can. They are a few spots in the park, like where the Enterprise is located that they can build up to 200 ft. Also they can always dig down to make the drop longer. The Enterprise is also leaving, so I think that's a sign of KK future investment. But it's always subject to change.
  24. I agree with all of this. But I think KI really needs a people eater like Fury. This has to be close to a record season for KI attendance wise. The crowds have been crazy big this season. I just think we need something to help break up the crowds. I'd also really love for the Antique Cars to return.
  25. I'm cool if KI would get a 35 million dollar coaster. That's a lot of coin though.
