Nickelodeon Universe

You might also say that KK is suffering from shrinkage...

It would be even more odd if Great Adventure hadn't done it this year. http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/2008/02/...ng-in-2008.html

I find it odd that Busch agreed to build on those man-made islands since they mess up the ecosystem and the currents.

A clone of Italian Job with different theming is always a possibility since Six Flags seems to like to use stock designs for their new family coasters. There isn't one on the west coast and it fits the 48 inch height requirement. Six Flags installed outdoor clones of FOF a few years after Paramount debuted these coasters at KI and KD, but then again that was under the old SF regime.

Farewell HyperSonic XLC

^ CGA has an Invertigo named "Invertigo"... Also what about MIA?

Here's an idea: CF could install Headspin at KI and buy the other Deja Vu from Six Flags, also install it at KI and we would become the first park with every version of the Vekoma Boomerang!

I drive by Kings Island at night about once a week and since the end of the season The Beast lights have always been on as have the red scrolling signs.

KD's new sign is up http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/2007/12/...ew-sign-up.html

I've never ridden or seen Kingda Ka in person but how can they say that it's scarier than Top Thrill Dragster when it's taller, faster and has a huge second hill?

I didn't say the one on I-street was in Nickelodeon. Clearly it's on I-street. I did say that one of the closest smoking areas to Nick is on I-street depending on where you are (Haunted Castle, Swings, Atom Smashers, Blue Skidoo). The smoking area between Reptar and Phantom Flyers is missing from the map this year. The smoking areas in and around Nick have not changed from last year.

The smoking areas in Nick have not changed from last year. The closest ones are next to lost parents, the pathway between Reptar and Phantom Flyers, and on I-street across from Graeters.

It's not the loop, maybe the horse shoe turn

Is that why you road it for four years?

New coasters are painted before they are put up, so I don't see why it wouldn't paint be first. Seems like it would be more cost effective and take less time to be able to paint on the ground. As opposed to getting a cherry picker in the ride area. Plus there are be plenty of things going on in a ride area once installation begins without painters getting in the way.

This is a little of topic but I've never been to SFMM and I saw Deja Vu on RCDB. Does anyone know, does it have a lift system like Face/Off or some kind of propulsion system like Wicked Twister?

Don't feed the trolls. I'm sorry, I thought sarcasm was welcome here. Don't call me a troll. You don't know who I am.

31/2-4 hours = 11.5 hours I don't know if I'd wait that long for any ride. And it's been said before but it's not about Kings Island or any other park getting a flying coaster, it's about getting a ride that is expensive to maintain and not in the future scheme out of Geauga Lake. We saw this with Stealth at PGA.

Here's a personal idea for KI... what if the park put a full service LaRosa's in IR... the park already serves the pizza, why not the salads, hoagies, spaghetti, lasagna, etc? It's a local favorite that is loved by kids and adults. It would be kind of like macaronies at CP but better.

* Old School - The helix on Beast at night. * The bunny hops at the end of King Cobra. * The entire lift experience on MF. From the ride up to the drop * The spiral down on Dragster. * Number 1 - the launch into the inversion on Hulk

If CP took out corkscrew or moved it elsewhere in the park then they could connect their 2 kids areas and spread out their kiddie flats. Then they could add larger kids rides in that area and next to Maxair. Something like Avatar and Reptar.

Am I the only person here that understands kids tastes these days. Walk down any toy aisle in any store and you will not see the Jetsons or Charlie Brown or Snoopy or any of those classic cartoons. You don't even see much of Bugs Bunny anymore. What you do see is SpongeBob and Dora the Explorer and it has been that way for quite some time now. When the current generation of kids grow up they will consider these cartoons classics. Some may not survive like Fairly Odd Parents or Avatar but SpongeBob, Dora, Blue, and Rugrats have been around for quite some time and I think they will stand the test of time... they already have outlasted many other cartoons. I think Cedar Fair would be making a huge mistake by letting the Nick license expire. Another park system would jump on that opportunity in a heartbeat. In a perfect world, all Cedar Fair parks would have Snoopy and Nickelodeon because the camp snoopy idea seems to appeal to very very young children, ones that are too small to ride most of the rides in Nick Universe.

That is what they should have called Top Cat's Taxi Jam because it is already kinda those colors. Dark purple is Sponge Bob colors?
