The official "Bring the Flying Eagles home" thread.
shark6495 replied to Shaggy's topic in Kings Island
Maybe among enthusiasts. For most people you could put the original and a brand new one side by side, paint them the same, and they couldnt tell you which was the original and which wasnt. If they bring them back, you can still play the nostalgia card. -
Or in the Snoopy Show Building that becomes Holiday Horror.

Maybe I am cynical, but I believe the entire time it was suppose to be only at Kroger but someone forgot to add that part in, during the initial run. Part of me believes he never thought he would be owning it this long so he didnt plan for all of this.

Three Roller Coasters ahead of their time:
shark6495 replied to westcoaster's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Double Post because the previous got liked: I wouldnt consider SOB to be before its time. If the ride was built by the original crew the ride may not have had such a disastrous future. I wonder what affect the Paramount Park owners at the time had on the future of SOB -

Well with today's tech you could create it so it would appear to have jumped a gap. Wood coaster goes up a little hill the wood disapears the track is merely steel track (thing the transition for the loop on SOB, then it goes back to being all wood again as it goes back down. The affect would appear to the riders that is just jumped a gap. -
Has Ridership Increased on "The Bat" After This Year's Makeover?
shark6495 replied to Ffej's topic in Kings Island
I was riding with a buddy who had not ridden The Bat ever. He said he loved Iron Dragon because it was a calmer ride and wasnt nearly intense so it was a nice break. He suggested after a Banshee/Invertigo back to back affair we take a spin on Bat in the front row. He was expecting calm and then the first drop happened with the big curve following. He had more fun on that ride than any other we rode that day.- 35 replies

We do Boo Blasters together because it's a nice break from the heat. Sally's Seaplane owns a piece of my scalp..... The carousels we have ridden in seats that don't move. He cries when it goes up and down and around. You make me excited to look forward to future endeavors but at the same time I don't want to miss out on what we can do now! I'm thinking this weekend him and I will hit up the park for a big train ride Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We must go on different days. We're typically a middle of the week, 5:30 to 9:00 or 10:00 goes, so I'll readily admit its not prime time for certain areas, and maybe that is included. I agree with you on all fronts bout Peanuts Offroad, it may not be thrilling but our 2 year old enjoys it. Heck, our 6 year old still kind of enjoys it when we are back int that area, too bad he'll be too tall to get on it next season. At any rate, its a lesser version of the Peanuts 500 car ride (though perhaps better capacity, don't know). If they had to relocate it, to make my idea work, fine, but I wouldn't just get ride of it. Its small and could work in a lot of different areas if need be.I don't recall what, if any the height restrictions were on the 'tiques, but I envision that any child capable of sitting up on their own (ie able to ride Snoopy Junction) would be able to ride a new car version. Obviously they couldn't drive the car, but they could ride along, would probably be just as thrilling for them as Snoopy Junction would be. Snoopy Junction requires a responsible adult to ride with any kid below 40", so in either case a young rider would need somebody else with them on the ride (unlike Peantus 500, whip-it, etc...) You are also forgetting a handful of the other under 36" rides, Sally Sea Planes, the helicopter ride, carousels, and The Monster. That is 9 rides that I can think of, and if you trust the website, it doesn't list a height requirement for Joe Cool's Dodge 'Em School, just a maximum height. I'm not sure if I believe that, but I've always forgotten to check, either way I'm not ready to test my 2 year old daughter on it yet, maybe next season if there truly is no minimum height. however, if there was another area in the park that worked, I'm all for it, just seems like as they've rotated around the park, Planet Snoopy is due for some upgrades sometime in the next 2-3 seasons. That answers that. I must be one the crazy newbie parents who go early in the day. That little stretch is full of strollers. I thought you meant get rid of those rides. I'm all for moving them. My lil one is 15 months old and he loves Offrode, 500, and the Junction. He is too short for some of the others since we don't have anyone to ride with him on some of the others or don't feel comfortable putting him on the others just yet I miss the Tiques.

But what was it's original name? Just stating a thinking question Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe you and I go on different days but Snoopy's Junction is always a 20 minute wait with the line spilling out towards the little Whip ride during the hours of about 10-2. The Peanuts Offroad may not seem thrilling but many many kids under 36 ride that ride. If you were to remove those two rides you mentioned, that would leave the little one crowd with 2 rides they could ride. The longer car ride and Boo Blasters. If this were to happen (the removal of those rides back there), I would have 0 reason to buy a pass for at least another year or so.

Ride Photo for Boo Blasters and Flight of Fear?
shark6495 replied to Italian Job 2005's topic in Kings Island
I have seen them selling the 3D glasses two times as well.... both times on Saturdays. Must have been earlier in the season, as the sign for the glasses has even been taken down. And as far as the ghosts I'm sure they are still up there just no longer turned on. Mid to Later July. So less than 30 days ago? -
Science days or something like that. They do it every year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

shark6495 replied to Italian Job 2005's topic in Kings Island
I saw a ride op selling 3D glasses earlier this season. Usually only on very busy days. -
I was in the Flight of Fear queue house with my little guy and wife during the storm. We just kept waiting for a break so we could get out to the car.

I mean who doesnt love Power Hours. Ride ops doing what they need to do in a timely manner, as opposed to the rest of the day where they just sort of do what they need to do at half speed... or is it Power Hours, where the ride ops only do half what they should be doing so they can get more people on the ride as opposed to their normal safe and diligent speed. Im confused.... One of the worst things you can do is give a teen-ager an open mic and "free reign." Jokes become sophomoric, they dont understand dead air, and it can become a burden. It took me almost 2-3 years of professional radio work with help from a consultant to understand the power in "Dead Air." You dont have to fill it all up. Make your words count but make them few.

One of the best pieces of advice I have heard was this: Don't put it in writing. You can say it but the moment you have it written down people can call you out on it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No argument. The target market was thrill seekers and at the time CF wanted to attract that market. Now the target has changed. Best day ever, safety, fun, etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
