Ya know what's fun on opening day? This...

My only suggestion for riding this ride: sit on a seat furthest to the right. Those seats during the Zero-G Roll make you feel like you have come off the track.

Hello friends, (Before I even begin, I meant to post this last night but I think the site went down or something so the following was copied and pasted from yesterday to today) I would like to say that as of right now I am completely exhausted but wish to share with you pictures from my trip today. Don't really feel like typing so this should be short. Here we go: These pictures aren't the best quality but most of them I had to crop because my finger was in the picture. Hope you enjoyed, opening day was a blast. I'll try and post a montage of the videos I took if I can later. Have a wonderfultastic day, DBI

I have dreams about Kings Island a lot. I can only seem to remember the plot to one of them though. My family and I traveled all over warren county looking for Kings Island but there were about 30 different Eiffel Towers and Drop Zones everywhere. We had to travel to each and every one of them to see if they were the ones at the real Kings Island. It was weird (yet kinda cool) though because they all looked different. Unfortunately we never reached the real park. It was very sad. I have never had a dream in which I was riding a roller coaster. Many times have I found myself at the park though. Which is almost just as great. Almost

^Oh I thought you were making a joke earlier. Obviously, not for KI if you did spot track.

I'll probably take the blue path. I just can't walk by The Beast without riding it.

Any chance that could still happen? I think it'd be cool but it seems like a pretty big idea. And it would basically turn Cedar Fair into a monopoly.

I dont think so. Its too central of a location to put it there. Nobody wants the first thing they see when entering an area of the park to be a smoking area. Especially when it ha a beautiful new canopy above it. If I had to guess its probably some sort of eating area with new tables.

Actually they've already begun at Kings Island. The shops were repainted this fall.

Do you think KI would consider reclaiming the title of World's Tallest Wooden Coaster? It wouldn't necessarily have to be as extreme as SOB was, all they'd have to do is build it higher than 197 feet.

Banshees lift hill goes over the second inversion? Go home map designer, you're drunk. lol

Wondering that exact same thing myself. it seems like when things were removed from the park map in the past, they were also eventually removed from the park as well (ex: Son of Beast - 2010 map or AZ target - 2013 map) Guess we'll have to wait and see!

^the only problem i see with that is that on the opposite side of the main gate is the main offices and things not necessarily movable.

A new park map may make you think otherwise.

It's probably staring me in the face but I'm going to put the blame on the fact that its past 1 o'clock. Help please lol

What are you talking about? That's the 2013 map and it's not even accurate to the what it really looked like in 2013. How is that reliable at all? Also quick thing i found a picture from what I think was earlier today and now i can actually see that flower beds have been formed. Check it out! Disregard my earlier comment about if we are getting flower beds or not.

The mods should move this thread to the "Off-Topic" category. As much as I love watching everybody take sides over the disagreement of the use of a five letter word, I think we should really continue on with the real conversation: In response to BB1's initial point, I really don't think that this spiral is what they're doing. To theme an entire area around one ride just doesn't make much sense (especially since we know the area will still be "Action Zone"). It seems like every time I think I know what they're doing to the circle, it changes. There have been multiple times when I thought that I could see some new flower beds being put in and then it was covered with a new layer of something the next day. Any concrete wizards out there that understand the process and could tell what they're doing? It seems they've been working on this for a while and yet it's really not that big of a circle (relatively).

Could mean barrel-roll. Firehawk is the only ride besides Banshee in the park with a barrel roll (unless Flight of Fear does but i dont think so) But what could they possibly do with that?

You think I was trying to be realistic? HAHAHAHA why would you think that? There's so much wrong with my mock-up its not even funny. Besides its all just for fun. None of this stuff is going to happen. Also, I've played waaaay too much RCT3 to not want to try and squeeze in roller coasters everywhere.

New idea... I couldn't think of any other way to expand than removing Adventure Express. But that opens up a lot of possibilities. This is to add on to my earlier image. And I apologize but I didn't even think to put flying eagles on there. Thoughts anyone?

With all the stuff happening in AZ this year, I believe Coney Mall should get some attention. And by Coney Mall I mean X-Base. In the 2015 season it should open as its own section of the park with a new coaster and maybe a flat ride (the more I elaborate on this, the more I'm thinking 2016/17). I posted this awhile ago, but here's a concept I sketched up with Pages: And as for what kind of coaster we should recieve, I would pick a Rocky Mountain Coaster. Reasoning: I don't plan on going all the way to silver dollar city to ride Outlaw Run. Although I'm not sure how well that kind of coaster would work with the whole "X-Base" theme.
