  7. Leave it inside I had hoped for a rock n roll coaster!!! but now our newest land X BASE, well how about just a new show being ran and keep the ride as is:
  8. whats the Spin ride they put in storage??? I'm sure Ive rode it . And the eagle is for sale now!! Wow : whats a turtle parade??? and also did they get rid of the little kids' cars : But hey on the new pirate ship great to see them grow:
  9. capacity could be low ??? But wow what a ride, it would be,,,and themed to so many things too:
  10. 1 more wave pool
  11. So Does that mean most land left is not useable?? and Does Kings Island still own great wolf correct? and the other land owners does that mean Kings Island does'nt own that
  12. Iron Swan 2009 Coaster 2009 opening where swan lake once was: Just kidding!!!! Well The Racers are fine, they will be okay going forward and can probably reduce man power on slow days as GEMNI DOES!!@ our sister park to the north. Kings Island is on the rebound and will rock once again:
  13. It seems to me that the Cincinnati Zoo has a bit of land to the north of Cincinnati? If this is correct and anyone knows the exact amount? Lets come up with some thoughts on what they could do up that way to go with Warren County's Ohio capital of fun????? My thoughts are they make a african safari with indoor buildings for winter months, something like animal kingdom. And all the other rides are indoors and can be used in the winter months!! Like a lost voyage boat ride, A shootem up style ride, even maybe an indoor coaster??? I was thinking they have like 700 acres ?
  14. The Cincinnati Zoo, and they would use it for kidstainment.....
  15. . Where would it be located? nickelodeon connecting to waterpark 2. What would you name this section? Mountain run 3. How many rides/attractions/restaraunts and food stalls would you put there? Maybe one food and drink stall. Just mainly a place where people can go to relax. with shade and about 3 rides: 4. What kind of rides/attractions/restraunts: FATBURGER last great hamburger stand: What would you name the rides/attractions/restaraunts or food stalls? 1) a mountain log flume with thrills and chills like knotts berry farm.Including some stuff inside from KI past: 2) a flying scooter 3) tiques running through the woods: 4) a Large free 36 hole mini golf course: And a set of restrooms:
  16. But wow off season for this stuff unless they are planning a major change to KY Kingdom, maybe?
  17. 1) Upgrade the fx theatre 2) if not make it a new dark/family non shooting ride 3) Sponge bob way way stayed too long:
  18. Log ride is the best anywhere!!! and Excellerator rocks!
  19. I wish they could get agreement from Dolly Wood for the film they brought back this year, The moonshine run( I forget the official title.) They rotate their movies in dolly wood too:
  20. Favorite Flat-Tie Between Skyhawk and Drop Tower Wood-Beast Steel-Maverick Kids coaster: the teddy bear Strickers grove: Flat-witch's wheel (like sky lab) Cedar Point tied with Sky Hawk Cedar Point Fav Classic flat the monster favorite Dark Ride: The log FLume Knotts berry farm: Fav ride that does'nt exist anymore : Fantastic Voyage Kings Island:
  21. Cedar Point is good for the family though , they have lots of flats, lots of kids stuff, another park to mention is Knotts berry Farm they have lots of coasters but the family side of stuff is great, THe best log flume, etc. A family mountain ride through a mine awseome, stage coaches, lots of flats, etc. So the top 3 out of Cedar Fair for families I would say is ki knotts and Cedar.
  22. what a sketch, what a concept.
  23. Wow Interesting article , and he helped to found the Rainforest cafe that is cool!!!
  24. whip a classic adult ride Americana's was great. So did Kings Island have the tea cup ride and the witches ride?or something similar to the tea cup???
  25. To preserve the log flume from Coney they did very well with Wild Thornberry's ride conversion. It keeps a classic ride for future generations.
