While Krazy city in the Tri County Mall is much nicer than Wonderpark was (and people actually go to Tri County as opposed to Cincinnati Mills), I really wonder how long places like these can last. Especially for Krazy City, their operating costs must be enormous.
Good point. It makes me wonder if it's even profitable, or if not, when it will get there. Are the rides in KC smaller than they appear? Use less energy? Is the park engineered to be cost-effective while looking bigger than it really is?
-
That's unfortunate. It's very disappointing to see such happy places go under. I wonder what will occupy the space next. An RV parts store, perhaps.

I'd build it in the woods to the east.
Beastwood Forest
- Rides: Huss Jump II, Topple Tower, Vekoma Air Jumper painted in earth tones...
- Attractions: Agate souvenir jewelry shop, woodcraft exhibit, small stage for bluegrass or zydego music, forest-themed games ('safe' versions of archery, axe-throwing, caber toss)...
- Restaurants: Arthurian-themed castle, with stone patios, parapets, etc.
-
If they open only one side on slow days, they should change the coaster's name from Racer to Practice Lap.
^Nice. Fits in well with the current naming trend.
-
It's going to be interesting experiencing the right-side track going forward. Doing a right-turn after the "out" leg is going to take some getting used to. It'll be kind of like a new coaster for me (I never rode the right-side track before it was reversed).
-
Delirium, AE, Racer, SR&R, Vortex, Beast, Potato Works, repeat until the park closes.
-
I still see it on CP's web site. Nothing there indicates its removal.
Would hate to see it go. -
How rude. You'd think a guy who has a drop-top ride would be contented and happy, and have no need to engage in such road rage. Sheesh!
-
That's good news. I think I've seen about 3 accident scenes at that intersection in the last year (it's huge, and kind of confusing).
-
I like today's weather! 70° and partly sunny in Blue Ash. I can almost smell the funnel cakes!
-
At least WonderPark beats Krazy City in the coaster count department!
-
I'm glad to see that the good ol' Rock-o-Plane is still in the neighborhood. One of my all-time faves, although I haven't ridden it in over 20 years.
-
Would they use these statistics for determining which rides stay and which ones get the axe?
-
^Well, 23 Skidoo, little brother! That's swell, and groovy! Radical to the max! (I'll get it new school, I promise!). I don't honestly know how much room KI has for a Millennium Force type coaster, without the ride intertwining with other rides, or being one heck of a narrow O&B. I've looked at Google Earth, etc., and I'm not sure what the park's boundaries are, but if they did ever introduce another monster coaster, I'd imagine it would be in all that wooded area to the east. I think the lift hill would be scarier amid trees and buildings than the lakeside view of MF.
-
Yeah. back on subject. KI needs nothing. It's fine the way it is. If it ever changes, then everyone will get all wistful about what's gone, or changed, or not there anymore. Kings Island is two words, and it's Tatsu. Your avatar looks like Geddy Lee. Peace out.
-
I just can't wait to see how parking will be. Still it baffles me how this is actually becoming reality.
LOL. It makes me wonder if everyone will just have yachts. Seriously, Dubai's development explosion is mind-blowing!
-
^Thanks.
Sometimes I go over the top with stuff like this, but it's all in fun. Even with no new rides this year, we can't wait go back. -

^ I agree. I'd hate to see Swan Lake go, coaster or no coaster. Green space and ponds are very good for amusement parks, especially KI.

There is an arcade in Coney Mall. However, nothing about it strikes me as 1980s per se.
It seems that the only stand up arcade games to survive the home entertainment system revolution have been "Galaga" and "Mrs. Pac Man". I see those in many places lately. I wonder if they might pop up at KI this season.
-
I agree. In my humble opinion, everything inside an amusement park should take on an air of uniqueness; something different from the everyday world outside the park's gates. Every cup, napkin, straw, etc. should have some kind of 'souvenir' feel, something slightly different from the norm. I wonder what would be involved in theming the corporate outlets, like "Subway Coney Deli", or "Chick-fil-a Rivertown Rotisserie" (...or fry basket
)? -
Seems generic that they're naming the rides pretty much the same thing as KI. It's Canada, so maybe they could add some Canadian flavor to the ride names:
Top Gun..........Take Off, Eh
Italian Job........Red Barchetta
Drop Zone........CN Tower, Jr.
Eesh. I'm too tired for this.
-
I'll agree: it is very strange. I never knew there was a connection, nor that DCP was so diversified.
-
^Thanks. The "coaster" is supposed to be behind the tower, somewhere way in the back of the park (or even at the Rivers Bend golf course
), but, now that I look at it, it does seem attached.
What do you think will happen to Boa Squeeze now that WonderPark is closed?

I think it will get bought up by a traveling carnival.
