I had a pretty solid 2018 in terms of my enthusiast wants. Finally topped 100 credits with an awesome Pennsylvania and New Jersey trip, didn't go to Kings Island as much as I wanted, but made the most of those visits to make up for that, and also broke my Cedar Point rule about visiting every few years just to get to Steel Vengeance which I'm totally glad to not have waited for that one. Looking forward to a great SE trip and my first Holiwood Nights this summer.

This.

What about moving Congo Falls to Soak City?

Would the same crowd here who supports a sky ride also go with a monorail around the park?

Would Firehawk be HawkHawk?

To clarify- @Backlot Stunt Coaster#1 is a troll. Not only are you replying to a banned person, you are replying to someone who wrote that for the soul purpose to get you riled up to respond to him. Trolls get off on that stuff.

RFYLCB- Anything shorter. Just because its named after a Peanuts film doesn't excuse its much too long name.

Can at least part of the station be made into restrooms?

In hindsight, when Flight of Fear last caught fire, its kind of amazing all that dust didn't ignite and we'd be out 1 indoor Premier launch coaster.

Vortex- Centrifuge WindSeeker- Sky Flyer, Super Flight, Flow Through the Breeze Invertigo- Rewind, Double Back, Double Take Congo Falls- Hydro Plunge Drop Tower- Acrophobia (I know SFoG took it), Fall Out, Terminal Velocity *Adventure Express- Mine Shaft, Ancient Fury Backlot Stunt Coaster- Road Rage, Burn Out, XLR-8, Overdrive Bat- Midnight Flight Delirium- Flip Out Flight of Fear- Black Hole, Galaxy Force, Mach 3, Event Horizon, XLR-8 Diamondback- Big Red Machine Mystic Timbers or *Beast- Bearcat * denotes rides that have Commandments preventing name changes.

The park is open until 1 and the fireworks are for everyone. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/play/events/new-years-eve-celebration

Someone's never ridden any of the Justice League rides at various Six Flags parks or Ghostwood Estate at Kennywood.

^I have a sister who can remember vivid things from over 2 decades ago. Some people just have photographic memory.

Wouldn't it be EFT (early/exclusive food time)? Unless they've found a way we can ride food...

^Agreed with the route. Considering I-Street is still the main thoroughfare in and out of the park and a good chunk of those people head straight, using the paths that run by the fountain would pretty much shut down I-Street for a parade which you don't want near the main entrance.

I'd trust B&M with any prototype. All of their first coasters of each type they've introduced performed well. They do their homework when developing rides and have a stellar track record in terms of reliability. B&M flyers do have a bit better of capacity and can also have duel loading stations like Firehawk did, but like their dive coaster cousins IMO, aren't very exciting unless KI goes for a decently large one. Superman: Ultimate Flight at NJFTP is my least favorite B&M.

See that floral structure in front? That used to be a fountain, at least through the mid-late 90s.

To @pianoman's disappointment, there also used to be a small fountain in front of Festhaus.

I plan on one day at each including BGW. With the shorter drive between Doswell/Williamsburg and Charlotte, I may hang out in downtown Charlotte before heading to Carowinds. If I go ahead and add Dollywood, I plan at least 3 days in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge including the GSMNP, downtown Gatlinburg, and at least 2 alpine coasters. Also, a round of putt-putt.

I think its more a matter of being practical to not do Fast Lane for Winterfest than anything else. Rides aren't really the main feature, thus, its not necessarily the best use of a Fast Lane program.

I just feel like the victims of Son of Beast get glossed over too much when it comes to those who constantly bring up positives without acknowledging the negatives. I'm not saying to not talk about it, I'm just suggesting people be more comprehensive when discussing it. For all the talk about how much it was an 'engineering marvel', it still that led to a few dozen people being sent to hospitals, many of whom may never and/or be unable to ride a coaster again. I don't give it that kind of credit when clearly it didn't do what it was designed to do in a safe manner. Well designed things don't have those kinds of problems.

I wish people would be less cavalier when discussing Son of Beast. I realize people have a lot of interest in it and their reasons why, but I feel the supporters often cherry pick from SOB's story and detract from the big problems it actually had, and that those reasons leave it as a big black mark on the park's history.

Welcome to KICentral, @aeo2009 !

Take note creators- use less convincing roller coaster sims for your speculation.

We must like having eerily similar travel plans to each other because I'm also planning a SE trip with those parks and possibly Dollywood in addition to that. If you're planning a St Louis trip the next summer, I'm gonna get suspicious.
