We know. The map is inaccurate. It always has been. It always will be. Check out Vortex's layout and the newly added corkscrew on Flight Deck.
-
I wasn't aware that that particular attraction was located in a family-friendly amusement park's children's area.
-
Wow! I really like the 2010 map. I wish they would have said what's in Action Theater, though. And, shouldn't it be under rides? o.O Uh-oh... Carowinds still has SB3D... and we most certainly will NOT have that, if certain past posts on this site are to be believed.

I've seen many a child scared by Haunted Mansion, which isn't nearly as "evil" as BBoBH... Personally, I think it looks good. I hope they did something with the main queue room, because that was- by far- the most inhospitible queue in the park... in my opinion. And yes, I'm counting Firehawk. That USE YOUR FRIGHT LIGHTS TO SCARE OFF THE GHOSTS!!!!! spiel combined with the DUN DUN DUN... DUNDUNDUNDUNdundunDUN! music that absolutely blasted every few minutes gave me a guaranteed headache every time I waited in line. So far, it looks like BBoBH is actually an upgrade from SDatHC.. so far.

Enjoy? It's going to scare the crap out of them! Everything I've read about Carowinds Boo Blasters has said that it is most definately NOT a family attraction anymore.
-
Yeah, really family-friendly right there.

Backlot Stunt Coaster Trains Being Stripped of Their Theming
CedarPointer replied to DBru's topic in Kings Island
It would be so freaking simple to at least try to make it look like a car. But, being CF, they didnt even try. CF doesn't surprise me anymore: -

I wouldn't be surprisEd. At this point, I honestly think that CF is TRYING to cheapen the park. -
Backlot Stunt Coaster Trains Being Stripped of Their Theming
CedarPointer replied to DBru's topic in Kings Island
What. The. ****. These trains look RIDICULIOUS. Are they trying to totally ruin the park this season?! -
It looks okay, but, honestly, could they seriously not come up with a better name? I'm glad it's getting an upgrade though, as opposed to the Planet Snoopy downgrade.
-
Glad I have tons of old free 3D glasses at home... Oh, and the name sucks.
-
They still show Looney Toons on Boomerang, don't they?
-
Were they using double tubes? If so, I can imagine *exactly* what happened. My guess would be that they found that people were switching spots during the ride. That happened at my local waterpark in Rapid City, SD... led to some very nasty incidents before they stopped using the double tubes.

I have a new level of respect for whoever is answering these questions.
-
The whole 5@5 thing has really changed my opinion of KI's PR department. At first, I was just expecting them to answer self-glorifying questions submitted by park employees and other people who have a relationship with the park. I was never expecting it to turn out the way that it did.
-
Maybe there's a reason for that.
-
Ha. Someone has a sense of humor!
-
Most likely, imo, your friendly neighborhood ride op. Or the person who does the spiels for the rest of the park.
-
My question got answered- cool!
-
Sounds like KI thinks that's what the point is...

Kings Dominion Hurlfest
CedarPointer replied to Captain Picard's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I've heard that they're planning a Hurlfest at Kings Island, immediately following Terpy's visit to the Panda Express! -

CedarPointer replied to Captain Picard's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Oh dear, they haven't noticed the "issue" with the name, have they? -
And, at the same time, admitting that Snoopy is not well-known with today's kids.
-
There is also a van which looks similar to the Snoopy one, but I can't ever recall seeing it from anywhere but the Eiffel Tower. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? http://www.visitkingsisland.com/attractions/category.cfm?ac_id=72 Interesting... "We have set a goal to introduce Snoopy to ONE MILLION PEOPLE outside the park this year. Tri-state area residents are certainly familiar with Snoopy and the PEANUTS gang but many have never actually met them. "We want to make sure everyone in the region understands who Snoopy is," Kings Island's Vice President and General Manager Greg Scheid said."

Firehawk can be a walk on certain weekends near the beginning of the year. In fact, every ride in the park can be a walkon those days...
