kings dominion new coaster in development
CedarPointer replied to raptorcp21's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Intimidator 305 looks like an entire coaster of Flight of Fear's second half to me. -
Canada's Wonderland confirms Planet Snoopy
CedarPointer replied to vortexfan's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
NOOOOOOO!! Please don't bring Snoopy to KI, CF! -
I was thinking today that it would be interesting to have a daily "survival guide" for the park- instructions about things that, really, should be obvious: line jumping, spitting, fences, etc. I'll try to do a new one daily. Subject: Ride Names Every ride at Kings Island has a name. If you call a ride the wrong name, don't be surprised when those around you snicker a little. Flight of Fear is not Flight Deck. Son of Beast is not Flight of Fear, either. Invertigo is not Vertigo. If you're going to the park for the first time, try taking a map at the front entrance... and look at it! Because, when you ask me for directions to Invertigo, I have no idea that you actually meant Diamondback (they ARE both red and yellow, you know). Subject: Employees and You How would you feel if someone came up to you and started yelling at you because you told them "no"? That's the same way that a park associate feels when you yell at them because dear little Suzie was too short for "The Vertex". A "thank you" might be nice once and a while, too. The park associates are not robots. And, if they tell you NOT to do something, DON'T DO IT! Subject: Flight of Fear Yes, Flight of Fear is indoor. It is not just like Space Mountain. It is a rollercoaster. With four inversions and a 54mph launch. It has lapbars, but yes, it DOES have inversions. Now, about the theming: Cedar Fair is NOT a theme park company. Don't vandalize the theming, because we KNOW they're not gonna fix it. One other thing about the theming: yes, the queue video is old and cheesy. You don't need to point that out. We know. Trust me, we know.

Something I wonder... **NOTE! THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FACT, IT IS AN OPINION!! DO NOT TAKE IT AS FACT!! Thank you.** Did CF plan on removing TC all along? Imagine the uproar if it had been removed when it was TRTR! Now, many park fans WANT it to be removed! Did CF purposely remove theming, boring-ify the ride, etc., just to make us not mind it leaving? Also, I noticed that there's a Cabbage Patch Doll on the demonbat's head. Must have been put there by an employee...

I saw a guest call Son of Beast an interesting name today. Wait for it... Flight of Fear!
-
No. I also noticed that the SoB sign is gone altogether, not just covered up. A plank of wood appears to be in its place.
-
The exit is BOLTED shut. BOLTED. They obviously aren't planning on removing that gate soon. And it has a potted plant in front of it. I find that to be incredibly humorous. "Move along, nothing to see here!"

You win, Kat.

School FAIL!

Personally, I love 5-1, but 7-1 or 1-1 will sufice if the line for 5-1 is too long.
-
I doubt that the cost of removal of SoB would be higher than the payout when someone was injured or even killed by the ride and sued.
-
Will you trust the park's official website? http://www.pki.com/attractions/detail.cfm?ai_id=156
-
No... yes.

I'd pay for a piece of wood from it when they tear it down.

Naked Brothers Band? False advertising! Jk, I'm betting the park was packed today? -
Action Zone: What would you do with the space?
CedarPointer replied to iChase's topic in Kings Island
Ya seen Flight of Fear's track, or some of BLSC's track? Some of those are worse than Flight Deck, by far! I would burn SoB (I said it!) and Thunder Alley and put a Maurer Sohne spinner in Thunder Alley's spot. Get a nice GCI for SoB's old spot, and put some TREES! in where the water tower is now. -
No. Possibly, it could leave part of the ride unstable. Why not just do it at once?
-
That would not be confusion, that would be the park trying to avoid people knowing the REAL reason that it was closed.

when does the cincinnati area go back to school?
CedarPointer replied to diamondback_king's topic in Kings Island
Springboro goes back on the 25th I think. -
My threads were poking thread at the coaster battles, but at least mine weren't flat out rude like this one is.

RCT3 coaster idea!
-
I remember that. It's also horribly themed.
