Coney Islander

For Christmas this year, my grandfather gave me this book, along with a bunch of random nick knacks. Methinks I should put it at the top of my list in reading materials...

Very interesting contrast. A grassy field and a gravel pit. VERY good photographs, if I must say so myself.

Its a good idea, but I believe they should perfect KI's 6 other sections, before they start a new one. Or at least fill in the empty Coney Mall space.

I'm sure they could get at least five family friendly flat rides for the price of one Screamin' Swing... I'm also sure that five family friendly flat rides would be much more marketable than one Screamin' Swing. So why is it that today's Cedar Fair would consider only the latter?

^ Yes, the daily steel band concerts are a must see. (Now are located next to the wave pool, near the food stand.) The "adult" pool is now known by many as the warm water pool, and is a very relaxing stop. (Once you get in, its hard to leave!) As you might be able to tell, The Beach Waterpark is one of my very favorite places. Real sand! Real surf! Real fun!

Kings Island used to have two of these tea cup rides. Coney Island's age old 'Cuddle Up', along with the memorable Winnie Witches Cauldrons. (I love that cat in tree centerpiece!) Its a real shame that neither of them are any longer.

From what I've heard, The Lost River's tunnel was designed for young couples... Sort of a Tunnel of Love, of the first, non frightening kind. Just a dark, empty tunnel. (I cannot be certain, as this information is very hard to come by.)

On the contrary... The Beach Waterpark had an all time record for yearly attendance, and this was just a few years ago. (Unless, of course, this is just a rumor. I seem to remember getting this information from a credible source.)

It was closed after the announcement that Son of Beast will not operate for the 2010 season. The Son of Beast Discussion Thread

Not to intrude, but this is a rather hard thing to find. Think of all the times the word water has been used on this forum...

Thank you! I was waiting for you (or someone else) to correct me. After I read an article on The Crystal Beach Cyclone, I knew it couldn't be right... Edit= Here are some POVs The Interpreter posted a while back-Rye Aeroplane Coaster Footage - Kings Island Central Forums Looks like one wild ride! Maybe even better than The Beast...

I heard somewhere that Paramount had originally decided between building Son of Beast, or a recreation of the Crystal Beach Cyclone. Maybe, now...?

I don't know... Kings Island really has enough Thrill Rides. I could really go for a collection of family- oriented flats, Antique Cars, or the new MegaWhip

Cedar Fair has not had ownership of Kings Island for a long enough time, for us to really evaluate the company's "success." And then, the success of a company can hardly be measured by the quality of new attractions... In my opinion, no one had done a better job running Kings Island than KECO.

My parents decided we would not get a family pass, since we're going to California, later this summer. I've never been to the western United States, so this is a big thing. Oh, and we're going to Six Flags Magic Mountain and one or two other parks. I'm almost certain I'll be working at Coney next summer, so I'll most certainly have a pass. ___________________ My friend, (thejoker34 on KICentral.) Insists that the Pepsi logo is now gone. Today was not his first trip to Coney this season, and he reports today as the first day the sign is missing.

If Rock Band Live is as popular as it sounds to be, methinks the show will become permanent for next season. So many teenagers love Rock Band...

I'm wondering wether or not anyone has the proof... I'm not a member of Coney anymore, so I haven't visited since last season. Edit= The Coney website still has "Pepsi." http://www.coneyisla....com/python.php Then again, in the loading spiel it has always just been "The Python."

My friend just got home from Coney Island, and he says the Pepsi part of Python's sign is gone... Can this be true? Is the name changed? I find this disappointing. Pepsi Python was one of the few rides in the world with a Pepsi endorsement... Only 6, one of which is very famous. Python is much more generic of a name. I've always imagined a backstory for Pepsi Python. You enter an expedition vehicle and journey to a rich treasure trove full of delicious Pepsi Cola. This Cola is very hard to get, as a giant venomous snake guards the treasure, and this snake is not willing to give up his yummy cola...

I would think this would be the best decision, but I can not recall Six Flags ever moving a flat ride from one park to another. Do you all really think Six Flags will start now? I'm thinking most of the rides will either be auctioned, or get dismantled. The only roller coasters I see getting relocated are Roller Skater, Road Runner Express, and Greezed Lightnin'... Maybe T2. (Though I'm not confident with this one.)

^ The thing is, they don't know how any of these renovations will turn out. If Son of Beast does not improve, or even gets worse, that'll be $10-15 million wasted.

Heres the Jacob's Ladder win right here. Would KI's Rebound any different? KI's has a line you can't pass with your hands...

I've been wondering how to win that game. Thank you!!!

So what do you believe will happen to the park and/or the rides? Are there any particular rides you think would be great for Kings Island, or any other park?

To progress... Has anyone been to the Beach recently, and seen construction?

Most people who were angry about Scooby leaving were angry about losing "a part of KI's history", not about losing Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle. I'd say most people welcomed the SDATHC change... Though many were worried Cedar Fair would just close the attraction, for good. You know, there must be a better way to fix this problem. The most common fixes are horrible. Chicken wire, glass, crazy new park policies...
