Hawaiian Coasters 325

A little concept I came up with. If the park were to want to compete with Riverbend and other concert venues to bring back big name acts to the park, they'd need to upgrade timberwolf. The idea I came up with requires the removal of Congo Falls and Invertigo and would also get a separate entrance from the front gate area and you would also be able to access it from the Action Zone plaza. This idea allows them to have a much bigger plaza and would be allow them to use it for other things like special events and stuff. It would also be renamed to Kings Island Music Center. This is just a concept nothing official from the park.

I think it'll be at least another 3 years until we start to see any action there unless it's for a flat ride

I actually like the wings. They are smoked. The only thing is I wish they came with ranch though. I also wish they would bring back the hot sauce to the condiments table (they took it away from it in 2018 I believe or mid 2019 I don't remember). If you like dry rub wings, I recommend trying the ones at Outback Steakhouse. They are dry with seasoning.

Agreed it is a good thing for the park

Please guys be patient. This is literally the first day on the job for many associates. Several of them it could be their first day at a job period! I can guarantee you they are doing the best they can at their job!

Made another Intamin Blitz concept!

I believe he also asked about gold Striker as well and which one they liked better. I think the crowd cheered louder for Gold Striker so they went with a GCI for their next coaster. I believe they were deciding on what to add next after Banshee in 2014.

For those interested about Busker Jam, Carowinds did it the year they opened Copperhead Strike. Looks really cool:

IKR! I think they are supposed to be performers lol

Like the tall people walking around during Carnivale and Tricks and Treats Fall Fest?

Something I never even noticed looking at this pic is that there seems to be a tall scientist walking around (right behind the family of 4 in the middle of the picture)

Made another concept! This time uses the combined plots of Vortex and Backlot Stunt Coaster (if the park were to remove it) Credit for photo: Kyle Kruthoffer https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x88405801b48c9003%3A0x64f9f426e5e19765!3m1!7e115!4shttps%3A%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPT9-R0xB7cCJ62410rLZVnO3MfEEPlH6OQeWmX%3Dw213-h160-k-no!5sKings Island - Google Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e10!2sAF1QipNKe4VaFAum79GwxSi9VBSqEPMivewX0T5u1g7A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi_3rHH9rXwAhUDPK0KHXXOBGUQoiowN3oECFkQAw

Idk if we'll ever see the return to paper maps. Especially since it is much easier to have one to download and use on the mobile app. I could see them being available to download and print for those who like collecting them. I just have this feeling that 2019 was the final year of paper maps.

I hope not. That would just look tacky during the day. I would rather them project something on it during the day. Just would rather it NOT be FunTV

From the KI website: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/events/grand-carnivale

Remember this happens from 9-10 pm. They'll likely have the IMASCORE soundtrack playing from park open until the event begins at 9. Makes me wonder if they'll have something playing on the screen during the days. I hope it has something to do with the Orion and Area 72 theme and they do NOT just slap the FUNTV on there! With that being said, I can see how some have concerns over this and I can agree that it seems kinda strange they are going to try to cram this in this tight area especially during a time where there is still social distancing going on. However, this area does provide an amazing view of the fireworks so I can see why the park chose to do this here since it would also fit the sci-fi theming and how Orion is still the hot new thing.

I look at this as more of an upgrade to the theming, but that is my opinion. I 100% agree with it probably not just being this season. If it is successful like Grand Carnivale was, I could see it making a return for 2022 and beyond.

I disagree. I honestly think having a screen there would make it look nice as long as they add some type of themed video that goes along with the theme and not fun TV's during the day.

I disagree. I think it goes along well with the space/sci fi theming of the area. I think honestly in the future they should keep that up as decorations tbh especially that screen on FOF

The Area 72 launch party has me excited! Sounds like it'll be similar to how the lead up to the Orion announcement was.

LOL that reminds me of what Walibi Holland did last year. Also LOL at the ones hanging to the side towards the back.

I definitely wouldn't mind a blitz in that location and something else here. Like in my concepts above, a large scale blitz would require a large chunk of the land behind The Vortex land near The Beast.

Looks great! However, I feel like for the second launch it'd just go straight into it and accelerate and wouldn't stop like the first launch.

I like it. However, I would probably rather a regular top hat than an inverted one, but in no means am I complaining. Also, Idk if they'll do a pathway back there especially with the terrain. I probably would rather them just gut out the arcade building and use that as the queue line area. Edit: the more I think about it, I don't think adding a bridge pathway back there is a bad idea especially if it goes over and under you causing you to get great views of the ride like what Velocicoaster and Taron do. Also, could you do a POV of it? I would love to see it!

I know I keep posting these, I just can't stop making concepts based on new ideas and videos of Velocicoaster. In this one, I add a little enclosed prelaunch section where it'll stop before the launch similar to Velocicoaster. Then after the tophat instead of an immelman, I put an outer bank turn like what Pantheon has then a zero g stall following it. I also made the station a little higher and made it look like a mill and I also have the entrance and exits instead of being on the sides I have it on the front of the station below the platform and before the stairs under the station is where they'd have small lockers for loose items like phones and keys and stuff.
