How neat would it be for Cedar Fair to find some idea from the original Kings Island "concept" that was never realized (if there are any) and build it?

Well said, well said!

Wow, first SoB is SBNO, and soon the thread about SoB's SBNO status may be...SNBO, as well!

Very interesting. They are both easily seen on Bing Maps.

I've never been to Disney World, but it doesn't seem like a "Disney" thing to do...Surely it isn't visible from anywhere inside Disney World, or anywhere close to it? Why did it close?

What's the deal with the one that says "walt disney world waterslide"?

Do you mean that not everyone is betting the farm on this newly found dirt? Surely you must be kidding!!

I think we need some common sense and reasoning here... If the mods would go ahead and close this thread, someone can begin the appropriate "Large Area of Dirt Next To Son of Beast That We're Assuming Is A New Kings Island Attraction" thread...

I still can't believe City Center is gone. I remember reading in my local newspaper about it opening and my family visiting it when it was brand new. That place was amazing. I did my Christmas shopping there for several years. Admittedly, looking back, it did go downhill pretty quickly. The last time I shopped there was in '99. From what I read online, the mall itself was still in good shape at the time of its demolition. It's still sad to think back to those early visits...no one could have imagined it being torn down just 20 years later.

I am researching now, I really appreciate everyone's input!

Glad to hear you had a good experience. Nice to know that, if the need ever arises.

I've stayed at the KIR&CC a couple times, and Great Wolf is great, but just too expensive. Planning an overnight trip soon.... What's your favorite hotel to stay at in the area? Thanks for any tips!

I had forgotten all about SRR! I couldn't figure out what all of you guys were talking about. I rode that back in '92, but apparently, in my several visits to BB since then, I just haven't made my way back there. That IS a fun ride.

I just turned 37, so I'm calling myself an old timer!

I love posts like these. They are so interesting. How about a forum just for old time Kings Island stories?

It worked for me. That seems a little weird.

I hope to be there!

Exactly what I was thinking! Thanks a lot for these TR's. I really enjoy reading and looking at them!

Well, it sounds like slow is a no-go, especially in the valley of...low. I guess that rules out more trim brakes.

I'm sure the younger folk may be surprised the park also used to sell encyclopedias at the park.

If only the valley wasn't so...low...I guess.

How about the lip gloss container I've been watching for YEARS?

Or, just slowing the thing down somehow.

Here's a pic for everyone trying to think cool thoughts today....

I think Tasmanian Typhoon is an absolute blast.
