Vortex

Avatar will have some gravity sections. The hill in the middle will provide it with some gravity so yes its a coaster just a different kinda coaster. Also some free fall towers are coasters also like the one at Cedar Point. I think that one has a lift hill and falls just like superman.

I typed it in and found it here is the link. Look on page two for the pictures. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewt...ighlight=smurfs

If you got to this link and search for Enchanted Voyage or Smurf's Enchanted Voyage you will see alot of pictures from inside the building from way back when. Hope that helps you out.

You heard that also. lol

All of The Bat heads got cut off when they took the ride down. I went to college with someone that had one in his room. He won it at a employee event at Kings Island back in the 1990's. Also about two years ago someone was selling one on e-bay.

I wonder if PKI will get all the new rides ready in time for openning day. I would not mind if they had a sign that said they where testing or still not done. Its better to get all the bugs out of the rides before letting the public on them.

My friend want to be a character. Does anybody know when Kings Island has try outs? He is 6 foot and male.

The Helix tunnels where added a year later. You can tell if you look at some older pictures from 1979.

Over on Theme Park ReviewI posted some pictures of the old Smurf's Enchanged Voyage and Hanna Barbera Enchanged Voyage. I posted the Hanna Barbera Pictures not the Smurf pictures. Free to look but please don't repost these pictuers on other sites with out asking frist thank you.

Who owns Dream World the one from down under? They already use alot of the same rides themed to are Nick area. Here are some pictures. Wonder where I saw those rides before?

PKI is getting the samething only Nick Toon Theme. I guess they will tame it down a bit for the kids. They have a video of it running on the web page of the people who are making the ride.

I could see SFKK getting the Screechin Eagles they some room for the ride. Know if PKI got rid of SOB and replaced it with Screechin Eagles I would be one happy person.

I wounder how long it will be before they start showing Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast?

.....I coulda sworn someone said that it would be an investment frim that would be buying the parks. And what's he mean by "entertainment group?" Don't tell me it's Cedar Fair. I'd much rather it be Busch Gardens/Sea World that bought us. What I mean by entertaiment group is they are in the same line of business as PKI, So the parks not going to be turned around and resold for a profit like a investment group would do. just remember new owers are going to make changes. It's the nature of The Beast all things change. I know who is going to buy the parks but will not say. It's not Disney.

Does anyone think that SOB would have run better if had all steel supports? I know it could be done just cost alot to rebuilt it better.

I saw this Also someone at coasterbuzz said their was a bid to move FOF from PKD to another park. Does anyone know more about this?

I had that idea also, but with Kings Island and other Paramount Parks their is not alot to talk about. The people that run things are very quit about whats new or whats going on.

The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera is not in 3D so it could play in side A and B.

I was planning a trip to PCW and took a look at the new map. And I saw this, It is the old Universal Orlando film, "The Funatisc World Of Hanna-Barbera".

Some pictures of the track of the Disk-O at PGA are here.

I wonder if the Hanna-Barberra flim is a big clue who the new owners could be? What other parks have Hanna-Barberra and Nick Toons in the same place I can think of three.

I don't think you will see alot change just the Paramount logo will come down and the place will be Kings Island again. Who knows they might add that big B&M coaster everyone whats.

Does anyone think that the new owners would sell off the land that Kings Island is on or anyother Paramount Park?

Well the person the buys Paramount Park's can still use Nicktoons and Scooby with the rights. I thought I read some where they Blackstone whated some new Lego lands.

I would put a big flat in the old Zodiac area and a small flat in the grass area that had the Flyers at one time. Also a new coaster in the Coney Mall area would help this area out big time.
