I'm surprised that you would phrase your question like that knowing how it might be answered. I was hoping it would be answered before a certain Terpy showed up!

I choose Flight of Fear because being a first time rider you don't know what you are getting into, even in the station (can't see the rest of the ride and getting to see the launch,) also with the theming still in place it can be quite scary for riders. As for a flat I have to choose Delirium. I did not ride it the first few times I went to KI after it opened. It just didn't look like a ride I would enjoy and was very intimidating. After getting on and ridding it, I loved it!

I had that thought as well, but then also couldn't imagine a structure like that put in an area that might be bottlenecked already. Maybe it will be mobile and can be moved into a better location once built? Just a thought?

I was thinking that I didn't remember the arch being that long as seen in the picture, but now that you mentioned that it was shortened I feel my memory is not as bad as I had thought. My biggest memory of the arch walkway was it being cooler under there on those hot days! Anybody remember what year they took it down completely?

I am looking at the webcam this morning and seeing no evidence of a crane (unless out of view) to start erecting WS. Making me nervous!

And your opinion Dave?

I'm so stupid, I thought this was the foundation for FoF for like ten minutes. I realized that Son of Beast was there. I remember being at the park and seeing that foundation in a similar state and was totally stumped on what it was.

HW just posted a pic of a steel coaster they removed in 1998 called Firecracker . I never knew they had a steel coaster. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150098448249538&set=a.10150098448239538.279048.35385539537&theater

Could you tell us more about that orange grease?

This has crossed my mind sense we learned that Beast ERT is no more. I wonder if that walkback will make a return?

Yeah with only getting about 20 minutes of darkness when KI is only open till 10 PM (which is the majority of the time.) I am not sure very many people can enjoys the investment it would take!

I could be wrong, but I would assume that Steel Hawg is not part of the project. It was being built before Morgan RV bought the park. This will be the third season for SH.

Since WS is part of the new ERT. I will probably want to head there first. Might want to add an option of "Go where the KIC group is going!"

Put everyone back in the poor house again is what i think. I don't see why the government does not see that the gas prices control the country and do something about it. I know their hands might be some what tied, but if we went back to $1.50 gas the country would have money to spend on other things besides their gas tank and the economy would bounce back by spending money in the community!

That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing Sheikra!

That may be true, but they are not going to put "surprise" on the fountains and not tell people what it is. I assume Pepsi gives HW as nice price reduction on their product to serve it there. I also assume part of their ticket price is your drink fee. I have heard that you have to pay a nice fee for a Coke or Pepsi contract to serve in your business.

I dont see them going to RC even if they offer more nickels. RC is just not going to sell as good as Coke and Pepsi.

I think KI would have a Coke contract burring a whole in a filling cabinet somewhere!

I think placement is going to be a big factor on ridership. It does look cool and will probably try it if not a big up charge.

Hum, I did not know this was a popular attraction at other parks. Thanks for sharing! Yes, I would love them to invest money into the existing rides and spruce up the place. When Morgan RV first purchased the place and painted the kiddie rides and water slides I was very excited that they were going to continue over the next several season and really get it looking good again. So far that has not happened. Hopefully they can get things looking new and not run down.

I don't see 200 to 400 vendors even showing up to an expected crowd of 1000.

I see what you are saying. The question is if the zip line, high ropes, and rock climb worth the $40.00. https://webhost.corecashless.com/indianabeach/ticketsales/?p=is12t4ym Unfortunately, I don't see this attraction brining in a lot of new business to the park.

I know you are kidding, but Dave's point is, unless there is a very big per caps spending going on, you are not going to make very much money.

More concrete being poured right now. I am guessing this will be the ride op box? I see conduit coming out of the ground there! (next to the bathroom) http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/fun/webcams/index.cfm

Got me I hope they post some pics of this for I am not picturing the location of this right now!
