And there's pretty much no chance of them announcing it to be at such a price.

^ So, you like the Chang at KK?

New Coaster Busch Gardens
Diamondback96 replied to Leland Wykoff's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
And The Onion is entertaining (in the good way). But it looks like they're reusing part of King Cobra! I wonder if the rest is to go. -
Fixed, I think.

I don't think there is a deal CF couldn't refuse, as far as the Kingdom goes.

Has Ridership Increased on "The Bat" After This Year's Makeover?
Diamondback96 replied to Ffej's topic in Kings Island
It still has the same terrible capacity, that's for sure. -
KI probably wouldn't have gotten much of a budget for theming if Paramount owned the park. If Viacom (who bought Paramount) still owned the park, there would probably be an Iron Man ride somewhere in the park, since all three movies were funded by Paramount (Paramount distributed the first two, while Disney distributed the third), unless there's something in the Universal-Marvel contract that prevents this from happening. This ride could have possibly been a B&M Flyer (or if Firehawk was built at KI, it could have been rethemed to that). Italian Job would have had better effects. An Indiana Jones retheme of Adventure Express would have probably been done with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (only to be reverted later due to Disney buying Lucasfilm). Nickelodeon Universe would probably have more of the Dreamworks stuff, especially since Nickelodeon has/had shows with those characters. I'd like to see a Star Trek ride near FoF. There would be Transformers, and TMNT rides in the park. A G.I. Joe ride could have been added near Top Gun. Maybe Titanic 3D in the Paramount FX Action Theater? All CF rides would not exist. If CBS still owned the park (when Viacom split, CBS took the parks), KI wouldn't be here today. CBS clearly had no intention of running the park, and wanted to get it off their hands as soon as possible. They probably would go as far as to sell the park to a redeveloper. Our favorite park could have become condos if no one wanted to buy it.

I was going to make a joke about rumors, but I don't want the media taking me seriously. Besides, I've slept since then.

Sometimes it can. Just saying.

Skyhawk accident @ CP
Diamondback96 replied to jcgoble3's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The forum software probably really liked your post. So what would that mean for coasters? Does a train going around the track until the next set of brakes not count as hazardous movement? -
A storm's already brewed here in Indy.

From what I've heard, it isn't very interactive.

Best First Drops
Diamondback96 replied to Ride On_17's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
From what I remember, SoB had an amazing first drop. It's been a while so I don't really remember the rest (besides the loop, which was also great), but from what I've read here it wasn't too spectacular. I'm not sure what my favorite first drop is though. I guess I'd say Maverick or Diamondback. -
Thunderbird has launched!
Diamondback96 replied to APE's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Keep in mind Terpy that by Spring of 2015, the next huge chunk of I-69 through Indiana will be open, so it will now be a straight shot from Martinsville to Evansville. That will make access to HW MUCH faster (shaves 30 min off the drive), so I'm sure HW perhaps wanted this ride to coincide with improved access next year. Having said that, welcome welcome welcome B & M to the great state of Indiana! I will be making my first visit to HW next season specifically to ride this. If they make US 231 a limited access highway south of I-69, then that would be a straight shot to HW from Martinsville. And Indy when they finish up the last portion of I-69. -
The Bat flies again at Kings Island

Is Intmain more reliable than INTAMIN? -

There probably are no Coke Rewards because Holiday World is a Pepsi park. A Free Pepsi park, at that. -
Eiffel Tower Construction
Diamondback96 replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
"Welcome to the Tower of Terror!" Suddenly, the Eiffel Tower rockets up my mom's favorite ride list. -
They're using metal siding? Looks like they were trying to make it fit in, but they did it wrong. Edit: Or maybe it's just the inside? Maybe there will be a wooden or wood-like facade.

I am really excited for this coaster. I think my family and I are going to head down there next year for this. We haven't been to KI yet for Banshee, but hopefully I can convince them. We did go to WDW last month, though. -

I can't wait to ride The Thunderbird! ...wait, you mean Holiday World didn't add "the" to the beginning of the name? -
It was reported as gone earlier. It's hard to tell in this pic if the ride is completely gone from the area, but the arms do appear to be gone.
-
Didn't SoB have a "temporarily closed" sign for a while? Not saying that SRR is gone forever, but it could be. It could also come back next year, or even next week.
