According to Ryan's post, the Paramount names will change. I wonder if all of them will change or just some of them.
Here are all the Paramount names:
Rides:
Tomb Raider: The Ride
Top Gun
Days of Thunder
Face/Off
Congo Falls
Drop Zone
The Italian Job Stunt Coaster
Eateries:
Wings Diner
Happy Days Diner
Bubba Gump Shrimp Shack
Lieutenant Dan's Bar
I hope that CF changes ALL of the names and not just some of them. We'll see.
Any ideas?
Italian Chef
Id like them to get rid of Italian Job and bring the antque cars back. Have alot of memories on those hehehehe
-
i wouldnt worry about congo's name, rumors among employees were that it would be taken out soon anyway.
Why would they take it out that ride is busy in the hot summer days, however it doesnt have long lines on the weekdays. Id like to see them improve it like Disney World did with thiers. -
Dont know if you all care but to the left of the Tower they will be taking out the walk of fame. Its were the had the Paramount movies ingraved in the big stone blocks. They ground out the top of the stones so they are blank took out the star ship enterprise and the idol from indiana jones so they are canning the paramount theaming. However are the coasters going ot go threw a name change as well? I would say yes and maybe change the name back to Beastie as it has been always known.

Yes. If I recall, Scholl of Rock didn`t even last until Labor Day this past year. It closed down the weekend before Labor day, with the close of daily operations I believe.
They closed it cause they couldnt find people who knew how to play guitar. Its sad kids of today love the sound of electronic drums and a beat from a yamaha keyboard.
This generation dont want to take the time to learn how to play an instrament where it takes hard work and REAL talent. Anyone can dress like a thug, grab your own nuts, and shout profanities in a microphone.
Ask any of those rappers like 25 cents or m and m how to read music and see the dumb look an thier face.

What brings me to the park is the beautiful ladys and Beast! Nothing like seeing all these chicks with bikini tops and open shorts on all day.
Yeah, but I tell them to cover it up. its a family environment, not Hooters!
LOL Funny I see girl ages 15 to 42 wear thier cloths like that not differant then being at the water park! If thats what thier parents let them do then there is nothing you can do to stop it. Im not a pervert looking at a female that is willing to show off what she has, nothing wrong with that in my book! If you want to look at dudes hey thats your cup of tea all I can say is go for it dude, but not me sorry.
Times are changing didnt you know? Hell they have daycare centers ant elementry schools now.
But if you dont like looking at females I bet your wife is worried. Go to the Celebrity in Dayton much?

It's been rumored that this space may become a TGI Friday's for 2007. Yes, it would take a lot of renovation, including possibly a passenger elevator. The restaurant does have one elevator, but it is really for service/staff purposes, so they would have to put one in that can be accessed by the public, unless they were escorted/assisted by an employee to that service elevator.
But overall the one reason to renovate - the elegant passe decor. Guests want a place that looks somewhat "in" and looks reasonably priced - and I think Friday's would fit that need.
Id rather have Lone Star, Olive Garden, or Smokie Bones
Cedar Fair doesn't have a track record owning those franchises...they do at owning/operating Friday's franchises.
I'm a big fan of Famous Daves at the Cedar Point marina!
Well I wasnt talking about them owning anything. As for that they dont own Subway .... but they have one right by Racer! However they can franchise it like they did subway. The food at T.G.I. Fridays is the same you can get at the park plus its been known as a "swingers place" not the type of thing they dont want around familys agreed?

Phantom Theatre & Eagles
I miss them too also I really miss the Old Fashion cars.
Sounds like i wasnt the only one who had fun on the antquie cars when we were teens. That was the spot, I kissed my first chick on them and other things hehehe.
I MISS PHANTOM THEATER!!!! -Hauntguy
Me too. It needs to come back.
... the Revnge of the Maestro
I like it.
That was just another place for teens to make-out. lol
-
Im just curious.
Its not a coater but they took out the larger log flume ride (Kennton Cannal not sure of spelling) for Tome Raider that was the biggest waste of money, space, and a better ride! It was big when it come out but died the year after eveyone rode it once or twice but dont line up for it anymore. Thats how you can tell whos a local season pass holder and who isnt.
-
Yeah, Ok. Son of Beast is what brings "mostly everybody" to Kings Island? Well, I know that ride does not bring me to Kings Island. Not to mention that I don`t rush to ride that ride first thing. Additionally, I think it is more Kings Island`s award winning children`s area that brings a lot of the people to the park. Not a roller coaster that the park has had major issues with since it opened.

Major new thrill attraction huh?
Ya we already have Tome Raider
-
Whatever Cedar Fair Entertainment decides, I believe that they are going to stick with the strategy already in place set by Paramount. Although, I think we can expect a new, thrilling coaster a lot sooner than Paramount had planned on.
Ya but why do I feel like were going to be treated like the redheaded step child of CF?
-
I never road them because I aways thought the line was way too long for the ride however I do miss the smell of the gasoline and the nice gentle looking area of the park.
Boy you missed out, All my firsts was riding the antque cars. First girl friend, first kiss, first.... well you get the point. In the 80's that was the hot spot for teens when it got dark.
****** Waiting for an 07 annoncement******
Dont hold your breath so much , it will give you a bad headache.

www.daytondailynews.com if your a member of DDN click here http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/conten...winterfest.htmlfull story there they said that the attendance WASNT good as to were before CF bought the park Attendance was Great. I think they were looking at cost to set up and how many tickets have been sold so far.
Well I hope for a couple of GOOD and new coasters like Mantis and Raptar!
-
Well, there's what they did to Geauga's.
That park now closes for the season on, I believe, September 17.
NO Halloween event.
No October weekends at all.
Which was one of the reasons why I didn't like Cedar Fair. I'm afraid that, with Cedar Point remaining the flagship park, and the monopoly in Ohio, someone in upper management's gonna decide that HalloWeekends is a more popular event than FearFest and end up pulling the plug on the PKI event.
No Fear Fest!? that would be ****ty. Fear Fests gets better every year. -
Ok, having jsut been at the park and speaking with some people, this was not as serious as you think, the people taken to the hospital were taken just to make sure everything was ok and I'm sure they were fine, the SOB crew did what they were supposed to in the situation, this wasnt reallly an accident per say, and it has been extremely over-hyped by the media, I saw the WCPO news report on tv, they got A LOT of details wrong, the ride is perfectly safe as well as the whole park, the news is just over hyped, most at the park had no idea anything happened!
Thanks for posting this. However it is true the media over does it with the facts. PKI is a safe park and Ill sill go and already buying my pass for next year.

I know you people miss the good old days of Kings Island but its 2006 now and we have to move on and enjoy ourselves at the park. Yes they are going to remove rides for new ones and keep updating safety on the rides that exsist still. The accidents in the country on rides are due to idots that just don't follow instructions,signs. We the public should know whats right and whats not when being on a ride. The park has to enforce suggestions that should be made for the safety for all guests on the rides. I'm glad more safety restraints are being put on rides now. I used to not feel safe on rides when I was about 8... I now know how to feel safe on rides and enjoy myself on the ride. I don't need to do something stupid with my friends or get attention and get myself killed. I always will enjoy my time at the park and other parks I get the chance to go to when i'm traveling. I hope everyone on here can understand what the meaning of safety should mean to you.
Actually the deaths that occurred at the park in 1992. ( All on the same day. One on Flight Commander. Which was a Drunken woman who stood up while on the ride. And the One who got a little too close to the electricity by actually going into the water. And the security guard who died while trying to save this individual) did occur while under the ownership of Paramount. Granted the park did not grace the Paramount Logo until the following year. The sale had been completed by summer "92" At this point the announcement that WinterFest's last operation was going to be held during that year had already made as well. So to state that no individual has died during Paramount's Ownership is a false claim. Paramount was already making changes to the park at the time. And I do know a lot more details about this day.
My sister worked at the park on this day. And One of my good friends was working Flight Commander when the woman fell from the ride. I'm not going to go into details about it. If you don't know than you don't need to know.
M.F.
You forgot one more, there was a suicide, a guy jumped off the bottom tear of the Eiffel Tower. How do I know you asked? I was there wasnt a pretty site. That is the reason they closed it off and you can only go to the top 2 floors.

oops sorry double
-
Sounds like there ruining our park guys

I hope so and hope they make them more impressive to look at.

"The old time cars have been replaced with a roller coaster that I did not even bother to stand in line to ride. And the old time cars were relaxing. Enjoyable."
I cant say i agree or disagree but I will say this I will miss the antique cars lots of memorys with those. I grew up in the 80's and I know im not alone when I say "if the cars could talk they can tell a million storys" an a hot summer evening thats were the kids went to make-out. I kissed my first girl there and got to do other things you do with fingers but I wont go there. Need to start a new thread with peoples storys and the antique cars lol

Take a Ride Out

I have to agree also with what DVO said "I'd like to see them take out the Action Theater and expand in the back of the park." removing Days of Thunder and putting a ride like from Canadas Wonderland (once owned by Paramount) Sledgehammer. Removing the Action theater will make a good size trail to the backside of the park lots of rides can be built back there. Now for my added ride Tomb Raider that has to go, it replaced Kennton Cannal which was alot more fun, after Tomb Raiders first year its hardly ever busy i rode it once and said that sucked! I say improve Congo Falls with better theaming and if you cant get good concerts at Timberwolf it has to go, I dont consider a good concert that caters to 8-12 year old girls. I remember them getting REO Speedwagon, Styx, Loverboy lots of good concerts that filled Timberwolf! Oh and if they are going to keep the beer garden (across from Adventure Express) stop serving people who are drunk off thier ass, dude falling down and getting sick infront of my children isnt good for "FAMILY" fun. In front of the fountains across from the Tower the Kareoke stage this could be alot better IF they call a friend of mine he has just about every song you can think of rock ,hip hop ,country, ect I told my wife the day they put Queensryche on the list is the day I will go up there. Remeber the drill the Kids of the 80's are the parents of today if you do the math you'll get your answer there its a generational thing!
