Any takers? Willing to take $1,000 for my Blackpool Pleasure Beach Big One side wheel, my 12 inch arrow wheel, my Storm Chaser wheel from Paultons Park, and my Lightning Run wheel. Plus a RMC Grab handle from Storm Chaser at Kentucky Kingdom, and an anti rollback pad. Anyone? I need the money desperately to help my family and myself through school.

I just died a little inside...........................

I'd revoke my pass immediately. Lol. Leave KI as is. Its charm is partially why it's my favorite park.

Dear god no. NO DC GARBAGE. KEEP THE DC COMIS GARBAGE OUT OF KI.

Would anyone here be interested in purchasing my Lightning Run wheel? I'll sell it and my wheel from Storm Chaser at Paultons Park. I need the money to help my family. My family comes first. We're undergoing a bit of financial pressure in my family and school is very, very expensive. I'll throw in my other wheels as well. Asking $1200 for all the wheels. Financial pressure is no joke. Is anyone here interested?

Whats the other side look like?

Woo!!!!!! Finally!!!! Here we go Herschend!!! This is what KK needed!! I'm hyped. I know they're family rides but I'm happy KK is finally getting some love from Herschend. I was getting worried that it was going to be like Wild Adventures and get neglected. Now bring on the Herschend magic! (Also, the cinnamon bread is incredible.)

When it gets demo'd they should sell the track slices like KI did with Vortex and Cedar Point did with Wicked Twister. Puts history in the hands of enthusiasts who will cherish it and generates more money for the park. Its a win-win both ways.

Hide and watch....... Magic Mountains Viper's next.

Vortex plot first. Give it the inversion record. In the crypt building.............. demolish it. If they can't throw a top spin in there, then there's no suitable replacement. Demolish the building. (Then send me the eye off the Triangle Of Light door LOL)

If they axe The Bat, why not announce it so people can get last rides in? Do what they did with Vortex and make a huge send off for the ride. Easy way to increase attendance in those few months!

Rapterra Construction Updates This isn't related to Project 305 but........ Flight of Fear is getting a repaint/retheme. It looks.............. off.

I know I've said it several times, but I sadly believe its true. With this merger happening they're going to strip and destroy every other park to keep Cedar Point the flagship. And I believe this is just the start. Ka is coming down. So now TT2 and Cedar Point reign supreme, not Great Adventure. But yeah, that hydraulic launch has got to be a headache. As much as it pains me to say this, I firmly believe X2/Viper is next.

Ka's demo permits have been filed, so its coming down. Cedar Fair is going to do what it takes to keep Cedar Point the flagship. And this is exactly why I despise them. Cedar Point gets flagship addition after addition and every other park gets subpar additions. No park from now on will be able to overshadow Cedar Point in any way and they're going to make sure of it.

Your welcome. Im glad it went to a good home instead of someone random. I have taken the money from that and gave it to my mom to help her out. She needed it. KIC is an amazing group of people and Im thankful you all jumped in and helped me. Thank you KIC.

@johnjniehausI hope you enjoy your piece and treasure it as much as I did. Thank you KIC for helping me and my family.

It has been sold. I priced it logically, but enough to help my family. I'm not THAT crazy. LOL. I did it to help my family in time of need.

If your interested, place the bid. Id take the $1k. I need to help my family. My family comes first. Id much rather sell it to someone here because KIC is the reason I even have it at all.

I unfortunately dont have a facebook at all. Can someone on here post it there? And the Kings Island Vortex fans page? Its mostly just financial issues and I need to help my family. Someone has to jump at it... I hope so.........

Hello everyone. As you may know, I created a thread on here 4 years ago that i believe was a catalyst to get the park to sell those track slices of Vortex. And thank you again IceePirate for going out of your way to help me acquire my piece. However, life has hit me in an unexpected way and I need help. I have listed my Vortex piece for sale on ebay. I need the money to help my family get through tough times and I don't know what else to do. I'd rather sell it to someone on here who would cherish it as much as I do than to a random person. As much as I cherish this piece of history, my family comes first and I don't know what else to do. Thank you KICentral for helping me achieve my piece of Vortex. I need your help now again. My piece is listed here: RARE - Kings Island Vortex Track Slice | eBay Thank you KIC. And thank you IceePirate. I need your all's help now more than ever.

Im insanely lucky I managed to get TT2 on opening day. It was incredible. Im serious though, Cedar Fair wants Cedar Point to stay king and they're going to do what it takes to ensure they stay on top. I forsee Magic Mountain going downhill and removing X2 as well.

Look how Cedar Fair has treated other parks. KI for example, got a "lackluster" giga so it couldn't surpass Cedar Point, Canadas Wonderland got a lackluster giga so Mille could be better, Kings Dominions RMC wasn't nowhere near as big as SteVe so Cedar Points can be king, KI always has gotten 'OK" additions since Cedar Fair has purchased them from Paramount. They want Cedar Point to be the top park and now that Cedar Fair management is in charge with this merger, they're going to do whatever it takes to keep Cedar Point king. Even if it includes Demo-ing Ka. Also, for example, Cedar Point is getting ANOTHER new coaster AGAIN for what, 3 or 4 years in a row? Complete crap. They want Cedar Point as the flagship and they're going to do what it takes to ensure it stays the flagship. Man I HATE Cedar Fair.

If the Crypt building ends up being demo'd, I'd buy the eye off the triangle of light door in a heartbeat. LOL. (I hope you all know I'm not kidding) But The Vortex plot, for the love of everything DO NOT put a family ride in there. That would be a HUGE slap to the face to everyone.

With Cedar Fair calling the shots Cedar Point has to stay the king, not Great Adventure. Ka was taller and faster than TT2 so removing it makes perfect sense to keep Cedar Point the king. This is exactly why I hate Cedar Fair's guts. All the other parks get crap and Cedar Point gets everything.

Gerstlauer Infinity that breaks the inversion record is the best way to replace Vortex. It's the modern equivalent of it. And in the same beautiful blue and orange color scheme. But an RMC or an incredible launch coaster would be amazing as well. Same with the flyer. I swear if they put a family ride in Vortex's plot or the Tomb Raider building I'll never go back.
