I know it's not going to happen but I'd love to see the maintenance shops behind Racer moved back to the area where the greenhouses are. After that would be done I'd love to see X-base connected to Coney Mall between Racer and AE. I think that would be awesome! It would open up some more room for more flats, restaurants, shops, and BATHROOMS!!! lol, one can dream

I plan to. I j/w if anyone here knew before I called. I did try to call once yesterday but I'm pretty sure they were already out for the day.

Here a question I have that hopefully someone can answer. Myself, wife, and son all have Platinum passes. My 2 year old daughter does not need a pass to get into KI because she's free until the age of 3. Would I be able to bring my daughter with us to pass holder preview night or would they not let her in even though the other 3 of us have Platinum passes? I wouldn't think it would be an issue but I also don't make rules. Thanks for the help guys!!!

Thanks for the heads up Don!!!

I def don't think we're gonna see RMC touch any of our woodies. But I wouldn't mind having a crazy RMC custom build similar to Lightning Rod. KI has the terrain for it as well. Only problem I see is the earliest we would ever get one is probably 7 years from now. I think it's a possibility after we get out assumed Giga.

Fury is nothing like Diamondback. Fury is known for its speed and intensity. Sure, it has some airtime but that's not what it's about. Diamondback is an airtime machine and a darn great at that. I wouldn't mind getting an Intiman Giga. But the 2 closest Giga's to KI are both Intiman, I305 & Millie. Personally I'd love to see Mack get into the Giga game. They haven't done one yet but they've stayed they can. That would be pretty unique I think. The only Giga in the CF chain by Mack. But in all likeliness it will probably be a B&M and after getting over 20 rides on Fury this past weekend I'm ok with that.

My view right now

I wish you guys were all going this weekend!! I'm going down this Friday, Saturday, and leaving at noon on Sunday. I can't wait to ride Fury again!!

^^^ That's a great point!!

Michigan's Adventure def got the short end of the stick. They always have. When I say KI got the short end of the stick I mean KI got the worse deal outta of KD & KI. KI did get the more unique coaster, but KD got the people eating B&M floor less. I know other parks in the chain could have used these attractions. It probably would have benefited more from receiving them over KI and KD. I really only meant for the question to be why KD got the better attractions??

Absolutely not!!! How come you didn't quote my whole post instead of only doing half? "It says I wish we would have gotten Dominator & Americana". I wish the rides that went to KD came here and Firehawk was at KD. Don't you think Kings Island would have benifited more from Dominator & Americana instead of Firehawk? I think we would have.

Sorry, I seen your last post after I hit the send button.

^^ I agree with you. I think KI got the short end of the stick when the rides were relocated from Geauga Lake, other than Geauga Lake it's self. I wish KI would have got Dominator & Americana "ferris wheel" instead those rides went to KD and KI got Firehawk.

Mack has already stated they could go over 300ft. Mack was founded in 1780, not a typo. They didn't start building roller coasters until the early 1930's. Intiman started building rides in the late 60's. The only thing I think Intiamni has on Mack is they have 2 Giga's and 2 Strata's under their belt. But Mack has said they can go over 300ft if a park wants them to. It's not like they don't know what they are doing. They have produced some amazing rides. I believe they could produce a World Class Giga. I believe their bigger Coaster are overall to expensive and a lot of the parks in the states don't want to pay that much for a ride. I love how Helix has the headlights at night and running lights on the trains. Awesomeness!! But that's just me, I'd love it if CF & KI stepped outta the out with Mack and produced the worlds best Giga. I can dream, can't I? lol

I'd be happy to see the first ever MACK Giga Coaster concept. A lot of people say they'd love to see an Intiman coaster at KI, but MACK is the closest they will get. Track design is almost identical & MACK is much more reliable. But that comes with a price, they are way more expensive.

I will be going through this as well next week. My buddy just ordered his family all KI gold passes. But he ordered himself a Platinum Pass. Well we are going to Carowinds next Friday. He called them and they said they could do it since he bought the CF Platinum Pass.

I wouldn't like to see Xtreme Skyflyer leave but relocated to somewhere else in the park. I think that would open up a nice plot of land in AZ for a new thrilling flat. Maybe it could be relocated to Oktoberfest and go out over the pond like the on at Kennywood does. Also not that Cedar Point just did this and renamed theirs. They gave it a nod to a past attraction which I think would be awesome.

Check out the original Pirmanti Brothers in downtown Pittsburgh!! It's amazing and is open 24 hours. It's about a mile from the stadium. Also check out DeLuca's which is also downtown. They have easily the best breakfast in Pittsburgh. Both of theses restaurants were awesome & they were both on Man-vs-Food.

I never knew what that was, I just thought it was part of a temporary enterance. That's awesome!!!

I wish we still had a vine tunnel like this. How cool would this be if something like this was tied into the que line!!

B&M certainly has more experience when it comes to Giga's over Mack. I absolutely love Fury, it's my number 1. If Kings Island got anything close to that I'd be a happy camper. I'd just like to see Kings Island go with a different manufacturer & since Intiman is a no go I'd love for it to be Mack. But like you stated B&M is tried and true. You can't go wrong with them. If Kings Island gets a Giga, we as fans are the true winners!!! Regardless if it's B&M or Mack.

I think Mack could do it. I know building a Giga is a daunting task. But I seen articles saying they could go over 300 feet. This is a picture straight from their website. It says "200ft and more" which I think indicates they can hit that mark. They are just so dang expensive. Regardless of it happens or not. That's the manufacturer I'd love to see get the KI Giga if it happens. Plus it would be the most unique Cedar Fair Giga in the chain. I know it will more than likely be B&M. And if it's anything like Fury I'm good with that.

I agree 100%!! B&M offers a great Giga concept. Fury is amazing!!! I think Intiman coined the phrase Giga Coaster so other companies have to refer to them as Hyper Coasters. What I would absolutely love to see is Kings Island get a Mack Giga Coaster. They look a lot like Intiman but are much more reliable. Cedar Fair and Mack are in good standing and have recently worked together. "CoastRider @KBF" I know if we get a Giga it's likely coming from B&M but I'd love to see Kings Island bring the first Mack Giga to the U.S. Also the seats and restraints look amazing on this model of Mack coasters.

EXACTLY!!!!!

I love this idea as a whole, minus the names you came up with for Action Zone. I do everything you have said & id call that area of the park Haunted Hill.
