  1. Oh Wow what a tribute video that was! It was incredible! Lots of innovators that went to the roller coaster in the sky: This Year!
  2. but texas giant won't be a wooden coaster any more . And its basically gemni, really wood with metal track. They have to cut there losses, ( and i love the coaster) but start from scratch in the Son of Beast AREA. Its really ashame it didn'n work out better, and all, for Son of Beast. Experimental, non reliable coasters are not always good.
  3. 1) Enchanted Voyage, and it should come back we need a relaxing ride! 2) Flying Eagles!!!! 3) Scrappys slide 4) Yer spenning keggers, 5) witches culdrions!
  4. Wow, from a westcoaster fan, I love KI but two of the same rides so close in ohio!!!! But its good for KI , i'll be able to use same ride at Knotts. But What ki needs is a ferris wheel...
  5. Adventure Dome Today at Circus Circus. First of all its vegas we could stay till Midnight myself, wife and great boys decided go early and nap now. Well its great as always, We tried the ride and took on the 5 acre indoor a/c park. Its great park 2 great thrill rides come to mind chaos, and, forget the name but a great upside down ride. Also the largest looping coaster indoors, and a great water ride. We rode the new dora 4d trust me you don't need moving seats etc. to be a part of a great flick!. It rained bubbled, hissed etc. at us. Great show. And yes Kings Island memories Swiper had a big supporting role (Swiper Sweeper). This place was bustling and adults, kids, seniors was enjoying the majesty of the 5 acre amusment park. With its own rides, carnival games etc. Then off for some relax time, to Circus Circus, and we ate at the new Rockin Ritas which is great!, and Took on the midway games, and the circus acts. My 7 yr old and 2 yr old loved this part of the place. Well another great day, sure Wish The Beast could fit under this 5 acres not a chance, but Its Vegas's great escape. Great park Great Atmosphere. Westcoaster till we coast again:
  6. [That would be great indeed...bring back octoberfest area and a great addition to coney:
  7. If someone had the money this is the time to reinvent and open more Family Parks. They are cheaper to get in, and not exhausting, You don't need 15 coasters at each park. yes Coaster wars are over!!. Cheap food, great rides, Family rides, and relaxation...are the needed Degree. Lets look at Holiday world, the new Ky Kingdom in Louisville what a place that will be!!!
  8. Over the years parks are taking out sky rides, or movers. Cedar Point use to have two! now just one, and don't see them always keeping the one they have. Ki really did not go that far, in my opinion plus parks with people walking probably make more money >>>concessions et c.
  9. happy 124, to a wonderfully huge 125th and a countdown to the 150th!! What will you be like next year? and by 150th!

  11. Sunday, I got to visit Coney. We live in Vegas and my wife and kids took a trip to see great friends. coney was great. Its on the up and up and suprisingly reasonable, affordable, great food, and yes even the canoes on lake..Wow! Hope they keep it going, these pictures are great the more you can post, would be wonderful, I can see what my grandparents would tell me about. hope you can find some lost river and more shootin star pictures. Also what was in the lost river building was it animatronics anyone know???
  12. For 2012 In all reality? Could'nt you see a sit down restraunt, a new Front Gate entrance, Now i have to agree from xbase to Action Zone would rock ???But reality: maybe Cedar Fair would have to sell off some parks to make money???? Time will tell:
  13. what was the pirate ride like at the point, I assume you rode? Also that would be a great addition for the point!
  14. I've been there My first thing is still questioning why the 49er's are moving so far away . But then you do have oakland right across from them???? But The Great America park is great, for the area, and seems Santa clara would want to keep it. This will get interesting, be careful what they get look at Ky's trouble right now, no park and all you read is Louisville needs this for the visitors too!!!! And previous comments i don't think the NFL will let a superbowl happen in a bad weather area? New York it could snow?????
  15. Cedar Fair has to be hurting this is getting ridiculous wish bush or merlin or someone would save Kings Island!!! Ketchup is HEINZ I agree with earlier post's they should have just let kroger be the ketchup supplier!
  16. And 6 million spent for nothing but to pay appollo, they could have invested that in one of there parks:
  17. And this year they are adding the biggest water coaster or something right??? And with ky kingdom closing holiday world is the great louisville's park now, and we'll continue to expand. Do they get a million yet in people???? Also it would be great addition for a metal coaster, and lots' more flats;
  18. It's basically this http://www.sallycorp.com/Darkrides/Ghost%20Blasters%20II.htm So we are not a very innovative park anymore, A real dark ride maybe a revival with boats would be great, Kings Island is slipping: This is simply ghost blasters with a different name:
  19. this might have been posted what is the status on Scooby's haunted castle??? Is it gone is it rethemed or what?
  20. a family dark tranquil ride you just ride and look at all the decorations inside the building: Or the flying eagles would rock!!!!! finally a tique type family ride.
  21. That was a great pov, and a great overall remembrance of King Cobra, what a great coaster.
  22. loss of fountains would be devistating . But remember this from Coney Island Days on the river, its heydey they at the time was going to pull the plug on the famous and sometimes world famous lost river ride for the eifel tower. nothing is forever Americans love change so much (majority it seems. But the fountains would be too much to remove from a grand entrance like KI has. You don't get that grand entrance feeling at knotts or the point for sure.
  23. Harry potter land will be the biggest opening ever for a new themed land at any park I'm sure!!! and won't this be owned by comcast now??? We shall see the other one that amazes me is noah's ark the loop water slide???
  24. Investment company's are not bad, they may bleed new captial improvements, they want a return on there investment. Its ashame, that Cedar Fair had to sell but it also seems they may have gotten too big too quick. And yep SOB is cheaper and easier to tear down more than likely!
