Could Cedar Fair Buy some Six Flags?
TheKlockster replied to The-Snapper's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Don't forget about Great America. That is one of their nicer parks... I would like to see Cedar Fair buy Six Flags Over Ross... Maybe put in an awesome B&M or a cool Gravity Group woodie. -
I don't see where you got the idea of it being like FoF. From the definition I read it sounded like the Italian Job wild mouse coaster people had been suggesting as a cool new concept in other threads. Now unless any of these are HUGE rides, I don't expect them in PKI for 2005. Possibly afterwards or like I said earlier, for a different park. It's not a wild mouse... LIM Launched Family Coaster Experience!!!!

Yeah that sucks. Why'd you wait just for the theming? Sounds busy... I can't wait for 9/28 this year! National Geographic Film Shoot Day!!!!!!!! w00t

You do gots a point... Son of Beast uses modified Steel Coaster trains, and the loop is steel (supports). So it kind of is a cross between Vortex and Beast... In the last FOF tour, that maintenence guy gives reference to The Beast Family... Maybe PKI does have something in store...

Yeah it is awesome. I would rather do LEGEND though! It's purple and fast and really a blast so sit up right, hold on tight keep your eyes open wide and enjoy your ride on THE LEGEND! So were they filming Raven or what? You said something about filming Voyage - which from those new pics in Holi-Blog is coming together quite nicely...

Kings Island to Overhaul Children's Area for 2006
TheKlockster replied to ZosoBeast's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
One of the other parks rethemed their Green Slime Zone to Wild Thornberries. It might have been mentioned earlier in this thread - I don't know. I saw a picture of it somewhere - it is pretty cool. As far as the Kite Flyer - we know that on this Danny Phantom Flyer - you can do it on your stomach or on your back. Either way you do it laying down. You don't lay down on a Chance-Morgan Aviator. You not only can lay down on a Kite Flyer - but you can do it on your stomach or on your back! So I really think this sounds more like one of these. Makes me wonder if we will even get the aviator? As far as the Avatar goes - it is hard to figure out what it is. It could be a totally new type of coaster. Or by first of its kind - it just might be the first coaster in the world themed to Avatar... Like IJST - it wasn't a first, though it was marketed as such. First Premier Launch Coaster themed to Italian Job I guess... -
Oh ok. I don't know if the park is haunted or not. I once saw the gate outside security post 3 open on its own - but that could have been an electrical malfunction. Also while at Flight of Fear I thought I saw someone in the launch tunnel but there was nobody there.

Don't non-disclosures still count after employment is terminated?

TheKlockster replied to ZosoBeast's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Correct me if I'm wrong - but you don't lie down on the Aviator right? I think the Aviator will be more of the Adult attraction for next year (if we get it) and that the Danny Phantom Flyers will be a Kite Flyer. And I believe that the Spongebob thing IS Watermaze aka Green Slime Zone - just a retheme of it. -
Best drop on a coaster?

Nemesis is an Invert... OBLIVION is the dive machine!!!! -

The release says its the FIRST OF ITS KIND. There are dozens of Wild Mice and Spinning Mice... Can't wait to see what it is! -
INTAMIN or B&M?
TheKlockster replied to The-Snapper's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I like Arrow Dynamics the best.... I have never been on an Intamin - but the one B&M I have been on was one of the worst coasters I have EVER been on. So I will probably rank Intamin higher. They look cool, and besides Intamin makes other rides like Drop Zone and White Water Canyon that I HAVE been on. -
I hope the guy sees this... Yeah it is easy to not get what people are saying on the phones - especially PKIs phones. They aren't the highest quality! I don't think that the park employee would do something like that out of retribution. And I am sure that Guest Relations didn't call Admissions and tell them - put Wussy on the envelope. I'm sure it was just a big mixup. But the fact that the guy whined that much - definately confirms that he is indeed a WUSSY!

So I wonder if the free fall ride will indeed be Atom Ant's Airways... -

TheKlockster replied to ZosoBeast's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Yeah I think that would be awesome for WINGS to get a theme to Nicktoons! I mean besides serving Montgomery Inn - who really cares about it? Has anybody seen the movie? Now if it was a Nicktoons cafe - then it would do alot more business!! -

I really like Vortex's Drop - especially in the back! Voyage is going to have an insane drop though. -

TheKlockster replied to ZosoBeast's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
OMFG HOLIDAY WORLD!!! I love the park - but this is a PKI event. Hopefully we will be getting something bigER. I don't think were going to get an expedition GE FORCE - its only themed rides from here on out. And by theming I don't mean calling Delirium a Tornado. But still something for the big kids would be cool. But that's another topic. Let's keep the discussion on the new NICKELODEON UNIVERSE expansion at PARAMOUNT'S Kings Island!!!!! -
Kings Island to Overhaul Children's Area for 2006
TheKlockster replied to ZosoBeast's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
One can hope! We should get a 600 foot tall Intamin Launch coaster with 19 inversions! I don't think we'll ever see a HUGE coaster like that. Not even anything of the scale of Magnum at CP. Son of Beast is probably the biggest coaster we will ever have. But smaller rides can be good too. IJST might not be a good example, but look at FOF. It is very tiny for what it is. I would like to see an Intamin Launch Coaster like Kanonen or Storm Runner. Not just up the tower and back - but ones with a real layout. Either way I think this is a very good addition for the park! -

TheKlockster replied to ZosoBeast's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Danny Phantom will most likely be the Aviator. It is kind of like the Flying Eagles but a little different cause it has two rudders, and OTSR I think. The drop ride could be like the Scream Machine at Coney. It would have to be bigger than a frog hopper to really be that exciting. Plus adults cant ride Frog Hoppers. If the Avatar is indeed a Volare Flying Coaster - I think it would be awesome! -
Yes you have to be an acer to go... General public may not attend unless they are the guest of an acer. Regardless of whether or not you have the money.

TheKlockster replied to ZosoBeast's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
So we really are getting the Aviator! It may not be the Flying Eagles - but it's kind of LIKE the Flying Eagles! And TWO ROLLER COASTERS!!!! w0000 Sounds like a Wild Mouse for the Spongebob thing, and one of those Volare rides for the Avatar - kind of like Tomb Raider The Ride at PCW. Those little prone flying coasters.... -
You have to be an acer or with an acer...
