You wouldn't rather have Dracula's Haunted Castle instead of Elvira? /s

Bulldoze it and turn it into a campground.

They won't build a resort hotel, I'd almost bet money on it. They had one, it closed, Great Wolf is next door. Campground is a possibility, but unlikely.

The demographics for Kings Island and Cedar Point are wildly different. Kings Island is, and always will be, a family park first. Cedar Point is a thrill park with some family friendly rides. Cedar Point hasn't had a major children's area expansion since 2008 and hasn't added a major childrens ride since 1999. Kings Island continues to win best Children's Area in the Golden Ticket awards every year. Cedar Point has 3 kid friendly coasters, 2 of which require the child to be 48" tall. Kings Island has 4 kid friendly coasters, none that require that child to be over 44" tall. They also have a log flume that your child can ride at 36". Also, Kings Island has invested heavily in the water park since The Beach reopened across the highway. We will get a coaster in the next couple years, but that's not a priority for the park, because they continue to be successful without adding one.

Also, do they count waterpark attractions? Kings Island has had 3 Water Park expansions in the last 15 years.

Back before they were removed, the ride grouping was Scrambler, Tiques, Dodgems. They embraced the acronym.

Granted I don't go to KI, but once per Haunt, but CarnEvil has the shortest line in the park, every time I am there, despite being the first Haunt attraction that you cross.

It's hard to predict, depends on park availability for staffing. Since UC is done for the semester, they'll likely be fine. It was more of a problem when UC's Spring quarter ended in June. Some of the smaller rides in Planet Snoopy might be closed, possibly a flat ride or two. The big thrill rides are the last ones that they will close if they have to. During Math and Science Days the last time I was at the park (2010), I would come in around 10:15 as I got out of class at 9:50 and run The Vortex until noon or so when other people were available.

They were asking if they'll set up another Haunt in that room, which is where Carnevil was held. I would imagine, that if they tore that Haunt out and are investing money in that theatre, they will likely be using it for Winterfest, maybe a kid's themed show.

Depending on how long the line is, they will likely have an employee staffed at the end and shut it down at a certain point. I would assume that time would be 10 PM.

I'm going to guess 3 hours.

The last time I worked at the park, the backstage area still had all of the Hanna Barbara costumes.

Upside down? More like face down.

I'm glad that you have ruled it out 100%, but that has absolutely zero bearing on what the park is going to do. The park has reused a station before, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of reasonable. The station itself is not a large portion of the project budget, but it's a significant amount when you include the queue line, exit, photo booth, maintenance access roads, and the biggest cost, utilities. I don't think the park will use it for a coaster station, because I don't believe they'll install another coaster in an already cramped corner of the park.

That's pretty interesting. Very cool layout if it was an Airplane clone.

Tech Services is in the basement of the building, so they could in theory tear down the walls and roof of that building, and keep the floor as the roof for Tech Services, I don't think they will though.

Let's RMC Woodstock Express.

They are actually open for Math and Science day and they are fairly crowded. Just drove by on lunch.

I would think the front would have more ejector, just based on physics.

I would be really surprised if they added major coasters in back to back years.

Firehawk's average wait at Cedar Point would be 3 hours on a weekday.

Cedar Point doesn't have the large demographic of people to pull like Kings Island does for seasonal work. Kings Island at least in the past, has had some International Workers. I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that they are building dorms for them inside of the park. There are a lot of logistical/safety issues along with that.

Spirit Song is not a big enough draw to build a new theater. If they think that land is more valuable for expansion, they'll use it. I personally don't think they will.

If I recall correctly, Arrow Coasters use an accumulator to keep the brakes closed, which requires the accumulator to stay charged. Other coaster companies use air pressure to open the brakes.

That's a plan I'd sign up for!
