Yes! And have the "Knights Who Say 'Nee!'" guarding the entry, a vorpal bunny rabbit that lunges out at you as you enter the tomb, and a rope bridge with a Terry Gilliam Bridge Troll who asks 3 questions. Getting a question right or wrong sends you flying into the Gorge of Dispair! Python fans would go nuts! (And thanks for the compliment on the Road Rage idea.)

For something totally original, here's something I dreamed up for Swan Lake: A combination Skyscraper-Frisbee-Inverted Zipper. It would spin, flip, turn, pretty much disorient and thrill unlike anything I've ever seen. Original Artwork by Thrill Biscuit

I drew this about three years ago: My idea for an NFL-themed Tilt-a-Whirl:

Rocket Power?

This is the best and most unique idea I've heard in a long time. LOVE IT. I'm also among those that want a ferris wheel...but I want the 09 coaster too! Thanks, dtf. I'd also be happy with a new coaster over a Ferris Wheel, but there have been times when more than one attraction has been added to a park in the same year. That rumored activity around Swan Lake...verrry interesting! (Don't know what it is exactly, so I'll just daydream about the possibilities).

An NFL-themed Tilt-a-Whirl, with Steelers, Browns, Bengals, Colts helmet-painted cars, & stadium theming... A Ferris Wheel, themed to look like an old mill wheel in Rivertown... A Flying Scooter, painted to look like patriotic eagles, somewhere near the 50's Diner...

Awesome fast response by the staff seems to have saved this boy! He's alert and talking. Outstanding. It's great to see a happy ending to this story!

Does anyone else remember a sheet of water on Raging Thunder, that would shut off right before your log got to it?

Piece by piece, the Lesourdsville Lake/Fantasy Farm area is fading away into the monotonous, cut-and-paste suburban landscape of sprawl. The only landmark that has been consistent throughout my lifetime is that rusty blue water tower that let you know you were close to the park. That swinging ship at the front of the park wasn't there the last time I visited (twice, in 1986, when it was Americana). There used to be something that looked like a cross between a ferris wheel and a zipper (an Electric Rainbow was also highly visible as you entered the parking lot). Now, it's an RV lot, and you can almost hear the earth movers coming. I hope each piece brings fun and joy to the new riders, wherever they end up.

And how come there's no mother of Pearl?

I think one of (many) I have heard was quite odd. When I was in grade school, I recall hearing about someone falling out of the Screamin Demon then landing on the bottom of the loop then the person was run over by the train. Very odd. Has anyone else heard this? Very odd. Never heard of this happening. Hey, how is it that the future quotes to this post talk about phyisics? Weird.

Like the ones they used to make the Eurotunnel? Now, that's an interesting angle. You're digging a tunnel and stumble across an ancient tomb/mine/vault. That's cool....hmmm

Flight Deck - TomCat Invertigo - Double Agent Drop Tower - Acromaniac Thunder Alley - Pole Position Back Lot Stunt Coaster - Road Rage

With a generous budget, I'd find the geniuses behind the Vegas Freemont Street Experience, and New York's Times Square buildings (using that bright LED technology) to line the inside walls with High-Definition LED screens, and fill them with an immersive, moving starscape with planet flybys, comets, galaxies, etc. Hey, dream big! -tb

Drop Tower: "20% Scarier than the leading brand." "If it were any taller, you'd need a pilot's license." "The quickest way to Action Zone from the sky." "Like bunjee jumping, without the messy cords." "I can see my house from up here!" "You'll never look at magnets the same."

It would be cool to see the KI skyline lit up with a nice twister, painted bright yellow like the old Scooby Doo (FOC).

If you get married in a Super WalMart, you could actually get all the catering done in house! Team that up with outfitting the entire wedding party! Seems like a win-win situation. Naw, shucks, I'd have the recep'n over't the Bass Pro Shop, yessir! ...what, wait? Where'd the cowboy emoticon go?

But the 500+ acre tract of land is so happy, and full of fond memories! Sure, it's a commercial enterprise where people spend lots and lots of money, but it's like no such place on the planet! People get married in Wal-Marts for goodness sakes. Places are special to people because of the good memories they have there. Now, wanting to buried at KI...that would be unhealthy

(We went to PKI right after getting married!) We'd probably renew our vows atop the Eiffel Tower, because it's a landmark of our hometown and favorite park.

Purely speculation, but if they did, perhaps it would be one similar to "Excalibur" at Funtown/Splashtown in Saco, Maine (there are POVs on YT). Maybe it would be introduced during the "next great coaster era", sometime within the next 20 years? It's hard to guess. Harder still, is trying to guess where at KI such a coaster would go.

But, of course they have eateries. Right there in between all the rideries! Come on!

Oh, but we got a new sign!

Kings Island: Take a Break from Ferris Wheels.

Potato Works. Seriously, with about 25 packs of ketchup, a large Sprite, and slaw from Chick-fil-a. Everytime I hear the train whistle and I'm hungry, off to Rivertown I go...

[[Trivia: My second post ever was a suggestion that KI should get a Skyscraper. ]] Four riders? Would be an up-charge, no?
