Beast Man

Boo Blasters On Boo Hill makes it sound like a generic Ghost Blasters ride.But according to Canada's Wonderland site it is a Charlie Brown themed ride,so I feel much better about the ride.

Well my grandpa was.When I was 6, we ended up going to Sea World instead of Disney because it was cheaper.

My guess is that the former Avatar vehicle is in the maintenance shop for the time being.

And how about keeping the spider webs.

I'm suprised you want to go back to SFKK after you enjoyed it so much .

The fudge is better than Holiday World's?And HW has some pretty darn good fudge.Never been to SFSL before, but may be going with some fellow KICers next season.I must try this fudge you speak of.

I've heard mixed reviews on the Boss. However, I'm convinced that no wooden coaster is worse than Mean Streak at CP.. I'm still in shock that I rode that thing and my spine is still in one piece.. You think Mean Streak is worse than SOB? My chest did not hurt after being on Mean Streak like on SOB.

Oops,I was off a year.It expires this year. http://www.KICentral.com/history/development.php

KI-45 Six Flags KK-2.5(I added the .5 because I got there on Chang's last day to find the park closed .) Holiday World-1 Cedar Point-1 Stricker's Grove-1

Exactly, which leads many to wonder (myself included) why Peanuts were chosen for the Cedar Fair conversion. It was my understanding (and I have yet to be corrected) that the former Taft parks have the rights (not exclusively) to feature the Hanna-Barbera characters for their lifetime. It seems to make sense considering we saw the Jetsons, Flinstones, and Scooby Doo (outside of the dark ride) during Taft, Paramount, and Cedar Fair ownership (see, Howl-O-Fest). So I guess my question is, why not explore the cheap (see, free) options that exist within the parks? Cedar Fair used Paramount's season pass system, which effectively revolutionized theirs, so why not explore the OTHER things that come with the Paramount Parks? 1) Hanna-Barbera Land could make a return. We could debate for years, but certainly Hanna-Barbera characters are just as well known (probably moreso) than the Peanuts gang. People's argument for why Peanuts are still recognizable by kids is because Snoopy is on a Metlife commercial, and the old movies air throughout the year. Similarly, Flinstones, Jetsons, etc. are still all over in marketing, and arguably are far more modern and accessible. Besides, the Cedar Fair and Paramount Parks do not need to carry thorough themes - if they did, we would have Soak City, or Cedar Point would have Boomerang Bay, neither of which translates well between parks the same way many doubt Snoopy will translate to Paramount Parks. 2) Have an exclusively themed Scooby Doo area, perhaps named "Coolsville, U.S.A." or something. The variety of Scooby Doo villains alone would allow each and every tide to be uniquely themed. Change everything orange to purple and you'd have the perfect Scooby area - purple and green lamposts, "gothic" fence work, etc. and it could all be structured around an upgraded, improved Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle. With the variety of villains, each ride could be so very different, like they were under Nickelodeon, and capitalize on what has been a literally timeless show. As far as I can see, these would BOTH be near cost-free change-overs and would retain the former Paramount Parks identities as "theme" parks vs. Cedar Fair's "amusement" parks. The two have different lineages, different customers, and different traditions - they do not need to be unified to such an extent. Let their individual legacies shine through, and Hanna-Barbera is the one to do it! Whether you like it or not, chances are the Cedar Fair won't own the park in 10 - 20 years. So here's hoping that the next owner realizes the potential of these already well-known figures and capitalizes on it! Meanwhile, 2010 could potentially be the close of two $20,000,000+ rides from the last ten years (Son of Beast & The Crypt), a conversion from a current, well-loved kids channel to a "timeless" classic that children are seldom familiar with, and more than likely, one of those HIDEOUS Cedar Fair style maps with no foliage, cartoony rides, no themed area differentiation, and one big fat fence surrounding the whole park (see here). Aren't you pumped?! I am. I recall reading somewhere that the Taft parks signed an agreement to use HB characters in 1983 that ran for 25 years.So that means that it expired in 2008.

Did you ride in a DeLorean? It's still there, but I was referring to the original Coney before the BIG MOVE.

Jack's Toy Factory.Oops,wrong park.

There was a park before KI, but it was on Kellogg Avenue .

Woo-hoo!100%.Ranking:Diamondback.

Those magnets are not adjustable unless they are removed. Chances are, the track was damp/ wet which made the train faster and you didn't notice the magnets as much. Some of the magnets have been removed for the end of the season.

In fact they do play both TFTC and PT music.But so far I've only heard PT during Haunt hours and TFTC during day hours.

And that's why I was sooo looking forward to going tonight.Oh well, there's always Sunday for that.

Either a generic Ghost Blasters or a Peanuts themed Ghost Blasters.

And you didn't have to go to 7 years of psychotic medical school either.

I'll be there.I've put in two weeks of overtime and got a bonus this week,so it's time to go to KI and celebrate.Woo-Hoo!

Never read them so my vote is null.

I would say definitely do Avatar and Reptar since the rides will be Peanuts themed next year.And Scooby too since he is also leaving.

I'll second that about T2(never been on Mean Streak).After my gf and myself were exiting the ride she said,"What the h***?"i actually could not believe that it was steel and not wood.Made me miss SOB and my love/hate relationship with it.(hate the roughness, but love the speed and drops)

I love how you just fly through the tunnel in the helix.You get to the top of the lift and the anticipation builds as the train starts to speed up.As soon as you enter the tunnel,WHAMMO!You are plastered to the right side of your seat.And it is such an exhilarating experience right after that.

Gary Wachs mentioned an alternate site for the park off of 275 in Clermont County.Does anyone have any idea where this was?Eastgate?Milford perhaps?It's interesting to think what if it was built there instead.That would have been close to Old Coney than what is now Mason.It would have been maybe slightly closer to where I live.Obviously it would not be called Kings Island and some of the rides would be different because of the topography(The Beast for example).
