The cars probably did go to one of the other parks. King Cobra was a fun ride though. I miss it but it was kind of rough. The cars were actually pretty comfortable but Togo sucks. KC would never be put back up unless completely new track was built (as you read earlier its being sold as scrap metal and im sure by now most of it is rusted crap) and new cars were put on. Youd pretty much need to build just a new stand up and if a new stand up was going to be built it would probably be a B&M. But I dont see KI getting a stand up for awhile. And what was the thing about some guy being a newbie? Because he said SOB wasnt rough?

They shouldve just built Tomb Raider in another location but it is pretty big and we already had a log flume. I think they need to tear out Timberwolf. They shouldve ripped out timber wolf, kept cobra, and put delerium and TRTR where timberwolf is. I miss cobra.

That sucks, it looked great, but just cause of one idiot a ride is ruined for lots of people.

Why did PKD and PGA eventually remove theirs? Was it because people gave it a bad rep for what happened at PKI? It wasnt the ride it was the drunken idiot. I wish I couldve ridden it. Did they also take it out and put in some stupid pay to play trampolines!?

Enterprises like witches wheel and skylap are terrific. You go upside down without and over the head restraints and the g-forces you feel are awesome its great!

Im not exactly sure hwy they had two drops, probably to get more baots through quickly, but they didnt race, im sure one of the guys on here with all those stars knows.

Yes KCKC was a log flume ride like the thornberrys but was much better in my opinion. It was a lot taller. You would go up this pretty big lift hill that was jsut out in mid air and youd go up pretty high. When you looked down all you saw was the lake beneath you and it was pretty frightening. Then you weaved through the tree tops at pretty fast speed adn you came to a stop. Then your boat was directed to one of two drops! The drops were very steep and fast and after you hit the drops there was a slight hill. You didnt get that wet but it was pretty intense for a flume! Oh yeah and another unique aspect about this ride was that the station house was on a carousel like SDATHC where the cars keep constantly moving and the floor spins!

They defienntly shouldve replaced skylab with another flat i hate it when they put in stupid pay to play attractions that a majority of the guests dont do. THe rock climbing wall was a flop, so is the virtual reality. They couldve atleast made it a nice quite shaded area with trees where everyone can just relax. Pay to PLay attractions really annoy me. I know they make the park money but I already paid a S**t load of money for a pass or ticket plus spen about 10 bucks on food and a drink. KI has way too hgih of prices to have pay to play attractions. But I guess thats how it goes. Carowinds still has their enterprise and it is a blast!

Spiining wheels or "enterprises" are pretty fun but when KI got rid of theirs they shouldve put a real flat ride in there. Not some stupid pay to play attraction.

^ ive seen tthe footers but where are there supports sticking out?

A lot of coaster enthusiasts claim it was the best suspended coaster theyve ever ridden. Heres some neat information on it. LINK

The Adams family coaster was in one of the past surverys and not this current one, I dont know if anyone still has a link to the past survey it was featured in.

Also some of the concrete footers for The Bat were used for The Vortex, you can also see in some places where there are concrete footers with no supports in them that were used for The Bat.

Yeah I noticed that in the concept art too but its still not confirmed that it would be an FOF re-theme they could always go at another angle and build a completely new ride.......yeah the concept art obviously shows its fof.......but i was jsut saying that is not a fact that fof will be re-themed to this yet. No one knows yet.

Bats steel was partly re-used on rides like Vortex to save money, it worked because they were both arrow rides. Screaming Demon was sold to another park. Bavarian Beetle was too but as coaster RZ said: the king cobra track is still there but its for sale. Im sure KI still ahs some artifacts of these rides though. A museum sure would be cool! The legends museum at the Cincinnati Gardens has artifacts from all the old teams and posters from all the events that have come. Its quite cool.

WE still have one log flume, white water canyon, congo falls, a water maze, and a major water park

That thing looks very ugly but it looks liek a lot of fun to ride with the hangtime it has. It would be cool if KI made the Adams coaster with something like this where you would hang upside down like that for a long time.

Whoa, ring master, I have to clear up a few descrepincys in your post. Ok, for htose who dont know; this is what "soundwave" is: Soundwave was a rollercoaster proposed to be built that was featured in the survey. What Soundwave is, is a rollercoaster that will launch you off and go through many inversions at high speeds indoors with rock music blaring through your head rest. Much like rocking rollercoaster at Disney's MGM. Originally MTV was planned to sponsor this ride (MTV is owned by Viacom, the same people who own paramount) But now MTV has been dropped from possibly sponsoring this ride because they dont believe MTV will be family oriented. (Which in my opinion is good cause MTV sucks!). A lot of people think FOF could be re-themed to this soundwave coaster because the FOF coasters currently arent themed after anything paramount. Another theory is that parks without an indoor LIM coaster (Carowinds, Wonderland, Great America) might get this coaster built and the FOF's will be re-themed to something with a sci-fi theme. It is not confirmed anywhere that this would be an FOF re-theme. I hope that clears it up.

BUt what it all comes down to remember.......KI = Crown Jewel/flag ship park im just messing around.....im sure every paramount park is the best in one aspect or another

I dont think you can really compare theirs to ours.....its two different things....ours uses special effects theirs cant use cause its outdoors and theirs uses special effects that ours cant cause its indoors. Both are awesome rides though.

FC looked like a great ride.....my dad rode it a few times and said it was one of the best rides at the park....too bad some stupid drunken a-hole had to ruin it for everybody.......drinking is fine if you can do it respectably but that same day another drunken fool caused two employees to die as well. The lady who died on FC also left her daughter who was like 5 or 6 wandering around the park by herself all day.

^ ahem and they are two different types of drop rides mind you

Like pkd firefall stated.......PKI and PKD's drop zones are two different classes of drop zones.......each record setters for height in each of their classes.......PKI's spins......PKD's does not. BOTH ARE EQUALLY GREAT THOUGH!

Thats a great point PKDfirefall! War of the worlds would be an excellent way to re-theme FOF! (Not to mention less costly!) I would love to see them re-themed to that or something star strek. Yes, the Supersonic thing is suspended/flying coaster if you look closely at the concept art you can see its suspended track. (id paste in the picture but your not allowed) Plus if youre theming it after Top Gun it would make more sense to have it suspended.

Current and best rock music? Ugh it will probably be that mainstream garbage they play today. As for an FOF re-theme the only reason it would probably be re-themed is because it isnt themed to anything paramount. Paramounts show "The outer limits" was cancelled. So now the ride is jsut "Flight of Fear" not "the outer limits: Flight of Fear". Its got a great theme right now though. Id like to see it be something X-files but I dont think paramount owns that. No, we havent forgotten about IJST......were just looking into the future. I think PKI is gonna get Adams Family but it will have some crazy record breaking twist and PKD is gonna end up with Top Gun: Supersonic because they dont have a top gun themed ride........which will be great! A flying see saw coaster!
