speaking of rides leaving/taken out.
Who in here thinks that Tomb Raider/the Crypt's days are seriously numbered?
I don't think I have been there too many times that the thing has been open this summer.
Maybe I'm just there on the wrong days, but I can probably place it under the 25% of the time.
It was working very consistantly in the begining of the year, but It's been closed for weeks now. But at the front gates they don't put the Crypt on rides closed that day.
I think the Crypt is closed because of the construction, and I do not see it leaving soon.
I just went to KI yesterday (Labor Day) and The Crypt was on the list of rides closed all day.
speaking of the list of rides closed all day, am i the only one that misses the sign that listed all of the rides closed for the day. because i for one don't like to stand around at the medal detectors and wait for the list to scroll across it.
I don't stand and wait for it, I watch it as I am walking up.
well my eye sight isn't the greatest, plus i'm usually preoccupied with Drop Tower or Invertigo or Delirium, or Son of Beast, or pretty much every roller coaster i can see from the front gate.

o.k. i'm the one in the Firehawk first rider shirt on the left side of the train(not really doing anything great) but if you look to the right of me you
can see my mother experiancing her first ride on top thrill dragster.

i like to have fun with the onride photos.
here is one i bought today after riding The Beast.
i'd like to see if others have any wild onride photos.
the only way this could possible be better would be if the picture was taken coming out of the first tunnel.

And build them not right and you have a slow, uneventful ride nearly as much fun as watching paint dry.
XLR-8, anyone?
(Terpy, who does not believe in glorifying things just because they are gone...)
or even iron dragon

Sure do here are a couple....
thank you i have been wanting to see these pictures forever(well at least since they took the old trains off.)
-
i was just wondering if anyone had a picture of the Son of Beast's trains that were being used as Halloween Haunt decorations.
thanks if you can help.

i was just wondering if Kings Island will sell the Diamondback model or just put in storage for years to come.
because i for one would think it would be neat if they would auction it off or something.
-
the worst ride i have every rode was nascar speedpark's version of the roder(sp?)
-
so.... i was at ki today. rode beast and going up 2ed lift hill. front seet. saw a guy on tracks. he was missing an arm and was all loody. it was pretty cool. i was told by the ride ops that he was probally tower johnny. and i know the whole story bout him and how he haunts the Eiffel Tower and The Beast. so tell me what you think bout it.
where on the tracks did you see him?
-
one day standing in line for Son of Beast:
girl:"the only reason that they took the loop out was because someone died from the transison(sp?) from wood to steel."
boy in line with her:"oh, it all makes sence now!"
i couldn't keep from laughing.
and then one day last week i asked my dad if i could go look and see if i could walk up and see the track to Diamondback that is setting by Firehawk.
then everyone was looking at me like i had no idea what i was talking about.

Someone surely still builds parts for Arrow's. After all, KI has 3 Arrow's (Vortex, Adventure Express, Flight Deck). Wouldn't S&S power support Arrow coasters since they own whats left of the company?
I want to see them keep both Flight Deck and Son of Beast. Flight Deck isn't bad, it's decently intense, and I agree, if it were a minute longer it would be a much better ride. The ride que is also redicolous for this thing... if they demolish any thing they need to take down part of that que! However it has seemed to be a reliable ride for the last 15 years and its one of those that you just gotta ride every visit for the hell of it. Just like Adventure Express I always find myself on that coaster every visit! I don't see them removing it just because well there money is probably tapped for a while after building Diamondback, and its not really hurting anything in the corner of the park its in. Also its good for the coaster count.
I don't see them tearing down Son of Beast any time in the near future just because, like others have said it seems like it would be an even bigger waste of money to tear down Son of Beast. if they were going to do that they probably should of done it after the incident of '06. I still don't think it improved much on the smooth side of things, but I have found its the smoothest coaster in the park in the front of the train, and the roughest in the back. Why is that anyway?
we never were talking about the Son of Beast getting demolished
The topic basically implies we were talking about Son of Beast being demolished
not until you posted that.

Besides more coasters, one ride i would enjoy every time I went would be one like Chaos at Cedar Point
i loved cahos, but i would love to see skyhawk at Kings Island.
-
I dont know but I just want to get out and ride that thing. Screw Christmas bring on opening day!
i'm with you 110%
-
If you have a Platinum Pass, it's buy one get one free, so 2 people can ride for $20.
now i just need to talk one of my sister to ride it with me!
-
o.k. we have all be talking about what we think the theme and name of the new roller coaster will be, so i was wondering what do you all think will be the height requirement, and other different things it will have by the entrance and in the station.
i think it will have a 54" ride requirement along with lockers like those found by Firehawk, a single person lane like that found on maverick, and a big flat screen t.v. like that found in the line of maverick.
so what do all of you think?
-
does anyone know how much it cost to ride skyscraper at Cedar Point?
-
i think the name will be the loveland lizard(or loveland frog), i know it's random but it makes since to me. the theme could be you are on one of the largest loveland lizards while it is trying to excape from capture and while "hopping" and crossing its trail in the woods to loose the thing chasing it when then it splashes into a "lake and then returns safely home.
random but i think it would be awesome.

What's really slipper when wet?
soap is really slippery when wet.

^The park wouldn't have to worry about that if they put better protection at the base of the tower. Maybe a small plexi-glass cover so as not to disturb the look too much?
that would be a big glare during sunrise and sunset.

like, since it would most likely be missing half of the building.
