The Carousel is in need of repair for sure: It could use paint fix the music and a total restoration: Its great relaxful ride . And in the last comment a museum is what Kings Island deperately needs open archive open to the public if you wan to see the history of the Might Kings Island then you'll have a chance: To cedar fix it up! I mean Cedar Point fixing everything up looking like nice and new and to add the tiques back or something similar!

Ride Rotation plan stinks: We need to keep the rides we got and keep adding to them Look at Cedar Point less land though they keep rides:
-
the 1960's strip 2 seater 60's corvettes that go around a track like old tiques but with 60's gas stations and themes all around: Oh I only wish!!! some other park is getting that: Truthfully I would love to see the above with a nice flat. but were getting in cordinaion with the ace convention A Wild mouse coaster and harkening back to Coney Island Cincinnati days: It will be called Wild Mouse:

Strickers Grove, the 30th of July 2006
westcoaster replied to westcoaster's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Thanks for the history on the teddy bear and the Tornado WOW!!! But overall Strickers Grove is a great park indeed!! And hope Coney Island bought some rides from lesourdsville Lake too!!! Hopefully the adult whip will go somewhere???? Also does anyone know at strickers grove what the ride was or will be next to the grand carousel just a frame is there??? I know the electric rainbow will be down next to the tilt a whirl -
First and fore most Strickers Grove has the only 2 wooden coasters left in Hamilton County, Ohio. WOW! But wow the tornado great coaster, the Teddy Bear was originally at Coney Island, Cincinnati. Two great coasters. Family and myself got to go today for a picnic. The ride collections were great from the flying eagles(scooters) to the 2 great coasters, a tilt a whirl, a turtle ride, a kiddy whip, a ferris wheel and so much more. And new for 2007 an electric rainbow. Its a great park and great for young kids too!!! But fun overall!!!! Wanted to see if anyone else had been to the park!!! IF NOT hope you can all go soon!!!

Was at Kings Island again today great day to go due to the weather me and my 3 year old had a blast! But has anyone noticed what I noticed? The signs above all the turnstiles were again just welcome to Kings Island !! I was so happy to see that , and another observation, is the landscaping crew was out in full force.
-
Yep I asked at Guest Relations they had'nt got a clue about next year except (there will be some changes to the season pass) and I hope they keep: free early entrance reopen the season pass entrance free parking: but other than that we have a great season pass deal:

westcoaster replied to vortexdemon05's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
well easy: love that picture of surf cincinnati: so heres my list: 1) Wet n Wild Las Vegas Nevada (great water park gone) 2) MGM amusement park at MGM CASINO (gone park great it was) 3) Americana/Lesourdsville lake 4) Ghost town in the sky 5) Surf Cincinnati: and I had been to all of the above loved them! overall Coney CInciinati I would have loved to have ridden half or more of the rides my parents and Grandparents Had rode: At least I'm going to Strickers grove this year to ride Teddy Bear COaster (was originally at COney Island CIncinnati) -
What is yor favorite KI ride that is not there?
westcoaster replied to troubled_diva's topic in Kings Island
King Cobra and the Keel boat canal! wow! and of course our beloved flyers the eagles but flight commander was great these 4 came back wow oh what a park! -
Riding The Beast I do because of the woods, the length of the ride, Love the Wooden coaster and that 2nd lift hill then those 2 tunnels WoW great classic ride that hopefully will be here for another 20 years or more:
-
No Steel Tubing but would do the rebuilding all steel frame for sure!
-
Food I would add at least another sit down restraunt! I would add a duling racer coaster where you have near misses etc. but race the whole time. I would add a huge budget to landscaping and return it to glory days: Thinking Kings Island needs a huge influx of flat rides I would build a themed area the Boardwalk with about 12 flats some classic ones! Also at least 2-3 more dark rides they need one totally scary one on water and one like fairy tale story or something like that. But overall Kings Island is great!
-
The Beast # 1 The Racer # 2 Screechin eagle still standing #3 Desperado at Buffalo Bills Casino State Line Las Vegas #4 #5 would have to be Canyon Blaster at Circus Circus

Cedar Fair will bring back the tiques and the eagles! hopeful we are:
-
Our 15th vistit was great: the season pass entrance it fabulous, and NU was great for my 3 year old, however scooby and that sportcopter ride was crazy long lines. By the afternoon plunkin plunge was crazy long line too: but overall nice and thanks Paramount for keeping that blue icecream:

will they rename the rides of the paramount parks?
westcoaster replied to peteytherocker's topic in Rumors
the rides that are themed to paramount will be re themed for sure to save money to licening rights: they will be renamed: for sure: like: to give money back to stock holders: but tr tr the ride will be volcanic panic top gun thunder road drop zone will be tower drop face off will be yellow screamer options only: fx theatre will be motion notion theatre -
Wow Kings Island all the way for the kid compared to Cedar Point hands down . but for the coaster fanatic of course Cedar Point: but over all midwest hometown theme park Kings Island for everyone from the 1-2 year old all the way up to the thrill seekers they will become:
-
Yep I see no winterfest also no free parking and no buy early pass for the rest of this year into next year. I see no paramount theming all rides will be renamed and nickelodeon will be around at least next year! time will tell
-
with cedar fair buying the paramount parks....
westcoaster replied to peteytherocker's topic in Rumors
I think personally yes Kings Island will recieve about 2 great coasters in the next 10-15 years only: Vortex will be exteneded from the scrap yard: And thats it on big thrills: We wil see more adult /kid ride combos more family more disney like and Cedar Fair bought a true winner here: and yes we will see I think a overhaul of the front gates and all of international street the sign out front will be Kings Island nothing else: and overall more landscape a real history museum of the past glimpses at rides on drawing boards that never happened and memoriblia see you to themes rides and nickelodeon will be around till cost ineffective to keep: to the future of Cedar Fair Kings Island; -
This is the best news yet:!!!!!!!!so great
-
Yes to Kings Islands new owners bring back shows!!!! lots of them bring back the heyday and i think we could bring admission up to 4 million plus! also more dark very mild everyone can ride rides like our beloved phantom theatre etc. More like disney!!! everybody can ride rides:
