Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
ShedTreeBoi1 replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Very few people outside enthusiast community know that Superman exists, let alone travel all the way to California to ride it. There's no "outshining" when it can't shine that far. They just happened to overhaul TTD at the right time and that's why it's still standing, in my opinion, Ka may have received the same treatment if TT2 hadn't fallen flat on its face in a puddle of mud. And probably most importantly, Falcon's Flight is opening soon so TT2 (if it ever reopens) will have been king for just about a couple months. It's called a business, they'll do what they can to make money, Cedar Point is the profit child and so they'll pump investment in it. Having more, possibly better coasters doesn't make a better all around park. Cedar Point's landscaping, atmosphere and theming for attractions is far inferior to KI. I get it's frustrating that The Vortex plot has been sitting untouched, but we just received the Camp Snoopy overhaul and a new coaster with it. Just because our small niche isn't the demographic Camp Snoopy is targeted at doesn't make that investment a failure and a waste of time. Excuse the rant, conspiracy theories just tend to annoy me. -
I never got to ride KingDda Ka, but seeing it get destroyed hurts. It was such an important part of turning me into an enthusiast around 2017 when I was about 9. This tears me up a little, but nothing lasts forever and hopefully the "record breaking launch coaster" ends up being just as iconic in 20 years. RIP Ka.

Yeah I really hate the name. It is just "Storm Chaser" but it sounds less cool and powerful. Like how could they not think of anything better??

Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026

Hahahaha KI won't be treated like Valleyfair, Dorney, and WoF in terms of large investments! Right? Right....? -
Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
ShedTreeBoi1 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
Well, the definition could be in what Six Flags Mexico is getting. If that ends up being a new super boomerang, I'll be pretty excited for 2026, if it ends up being a family boomerang... Eek. I'm not totally against another family-thrill coaster, but KI's lineup is full of them, and we just got SSBR. Which, imo, is more kiddie-family. -
Personally 1. I 305 (I just can't bring myself to call it anything else) 2. Orion 3. Fury 4. Millie 5. Leviathan I got my first rides on I 305 in the pitch black of night this past summer. That was something else. I think I ended up getting 15 rides in over 1 day and a night. At most 4 rides in a row before I felt I would pass out.
-
Orion's drop feels more powerful. The whole ride feels more powerful imo. Completely agree, I think if they made the helix tighter it would be better than Orion
-
Whining and expressing a very slight annoyance are different things.
-
While I don't disagree, Orion is a giga, it's still annoying that it's not 300 feet tall.
-
Yes you would totally feel those 13 extra feet at 90mph

315ish feet is not THAT crazy of a height.
