If it had a loop it wouldnt be rated a mild thrill ride

There are no inversions, like klockster said.....its a premeir ride so it uses premier restraints

Whoa that is awesome Klockster. The cars were put on an Arrow Suspended in England.

Smoking isnt natural at all, tobaco plants are natural but smoking is not. Your not born with a natural tendancy to stick it in a pipe and smoke it to get your fix. Smoking was started by curious human beings.

PKI is not cheap at all, they spent more money on SOB then than they did when they built the park originally. PKI does a fantastic job with what they had and is definently a contender for one of the worlds best parks

Thanks for the great info Shman! Whats so wrong with stealth/Borg Assimilator?

It would be cool if they could cover the line to the entrance and put in moving sidewalks like on Space Mountains exit at WDW

Homer Jay as I stated before we are nto saying Top Gun is on Rollercoaster Death Row. We are saying that this is an alternative to removing it when the time comes. No one said its going to be soon. Like i said in my first post.... WAY into the future.

I dont think they ever planne don putting a flying coaster in PKI

^^ They loop the whole soundtrack while your going through the line, even if its not a long line it still annoys you cause your walking so far, but songs like danger zone get you pumped up for the ride, if you like the movie like i do

Actually the rides dont really interfeer with how loud the music is, the people around you trying to stand on their seats and annyoing the others behind them and everyoen argyuing because of the bad view is what takes away from the experience. The only real ride interference in the loud noise SOB makes when it crests over the lift hill but like I said you cant really hear it over the music

Awesome pictures on the poll by the way F5

Yes the current Top Gun cars are very cool but I wish they had wings on them to make them feel more like a fighter jet and I wish they would use the aircraft carrier itnerior theming!

^^ ^^

I dont think theyd re-name SOB but antoher woodie would be cool, but I think from now on most rides that come in are gonna carry a paramount theme. Weird Al is fantastic! but he could play at First Star Center or something. Timber wolf is in the way because it does not get used as much and many people do not like it for its bad seating arrangement.

You are right reclaimer, I really think KI will be taking it out in the near future.

When was that supposed to come to Kings Island and why? It was never advertised and what theme was it going to have?

Too bad the Core was an awful movie and did not do well at the Box Offices

Timberwolf is not good at all to see a show at, the seats are placed terriblly and you can hardly see unless your up close.

I think I can handle it now, but that was a few years ago and I was scare dout of my mind.

I got stuck ont he Beast about a year ago on the first lift hill and they sent up a park represenative to talk with us and tell us everything was ok and that they were just having a few matineance problems. It was strange, I was very upset because I did not want to hav to walk down those thin wooden steps......gives me the creeps.

I miss kIng Cobra the most but I also mis KCKC and the tiques+eagles. They shouldve kept, KCKC, KC, Tiques, and Eagles then torn out Timber wolf and put TRTR and IJST over there (because they fit in with Action Zone) plus Delerium there. Timberwolf isnt needed and is an awful venue.

Thanks, this would save the park a lot of money and still be a great ride. I could really see them doing this. Id really like to see some great theming though around the ride, maybe some explosions or something depending on what you theme it to. They could theme it to Sky Captain but I dont think that movie did to well at the box offices.

There are such things as lay down rollercoasters and flying roller coasters (a lay down rollercoaster in which you are turned upside down to give you an effect like you are flying like superman) I do not believe that there were any plans to put one of these at Kings Island. The first flying coaster was built at Paramounts Great America and was relocated to Paramounts Carowinds. This may have confused your friend or he was just pulling your leg.

The reason you probably couldnt hear the sound effects to well is because the sound effects like braking and engine sounds are played through speakers in the headrest and probably arent noticable from the midway
