BB1

Boomerang Bay (of course i shouldnt even have to post it!), HB, Top Gun, Bubba Gumps, and WinterFest (May we get that back this year?....)

D-Great waterparks and great rides!

Did anyone else notice weeks ago the horsetail plants near the SOB were chopped down? I have found many easter eggs around that area for the past few days ( 2 weeks ago-plant cutting possible notice of SOB destruction as I saw it yesterday-sad but sinister music playing around the SOB area)

Yes....He loves alot of FUN things............

It makes me think, what would be cool is an actual haunted maze. With dead ends, mirrors, etc. But at dead ends there's a monster as well as roaming around the maze. Man with a bit of fog and lights that would be awesome !

1. Australian/BB revenge 2. Fog, indoor attraction/outdoor, scaractors, hydrolic props, props, didges, etc (Look at Halloween Haunt thread for more details) 3. Soak City area/walkabout 4.Yes, its a new idea (I may use it for a haunted house this year (Aussie nightmare time)) that has not been used often to my knowing.

A few videos of SOB relevance: Today No Limits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di_C-UfwVMk R.I.P. (Rest In Pieces)

Woah! this season went by fast! Yes, yes it did, too fast for me!

Update, items shown in backlot Racer area, and items in walk about area backlot. (typo)

You sir deserve a cookie. Yes I can agree that AE would have to be the most themed, I can only wonder why CF doesnt like theming... Also is it just me or may the Flight Deck may be up there with AE, with all the aeroplanes props and flight carrier props, it can be considered to be the 2nd or better yet the first soon if AE keeps on with the dilapidation..

So SOB is finnally down (along with some other Paramount era fun), making speculation about the pieces being sold/auctioned off to people. So what would you like to see in a KI sale/auction? I would like to see SOB parts, BB theming, and a bit of old decor (HB items, Top Gun, etc).

Yes, the waterpark especially due to the Beach shut down, and the renovated SC.

Dont you just love their language? Onto KI facebook, SOB status "Dislike" times 2 "So sad". Now where is my "Bring back Boomerang Bay to Kings Island!" page? (Joke intended (For our very own commentator Long!))

I would buy a piece. Well if it becomes a sale/auction (I hope a bit of BB items will become on sale also), you may want a certificate of authenticity to go along with the piece/pieces. Thanks for the info also KIFanatic! On another note I heard many people today at Kings Island talking about the SOB deconstruction, some talking about wanting to buy pieces of it, others talking about how they are going to miss it, it seems to be the "bird" of the park. (For those who do not know the bird is the word...)

Or as many call it the box of FUN! On another note our halloween event is Haunt like many other non Cedar Point parks.

Another SOB....(Pun intended) I would say a OktoberFest expansion and place a german themed rollercoaster something along the woodie plug and play. A wooden or steel coaster will suit me. Although a new version of SOB wouldnt be a bad idea (SOB II, Revenge from the grave?).

On some other notes: The SOB did rock the casbah, now its just the viva la vida, same as it ever was. I will be waiting for the SOB parts auction, but meanwhile I will be sitting back eating my popcorn watching the fanboys rage about this for a few weeks.

I think it's safe to say that we ALL can trust this source. Can we have a party at the park on the day the ride starts to come down? Yes, infact I already am......

While commenting on the SOB dismantlement I saw this "Last chance to ride it tommorrow to ride it! I will be there!".

Yes! Thanks for this info Don! This is a great day for Kings Island and for KIC (Although it will be missed it will be a great area for a great addition)! (Now just what are we going to do with the SOB topics?)

What is Viking Fury? Yes, well when you can go to Carowinds more often you get over the BB complex. Now on the SC topic, I think it just needs a bit of extra ideas, its still being worked on today (last time I went was last week) with the new stuff, so it could get a bit more theming.

So what area do you believe will get rehabs/revamps this year? What kind of new theming would you like to see in some of the areas? For me it would probably be OktoberFest, and Soak City. OktoberFest- New german theming, maybe a bit of polka players inside the Festhaus, a new fountain, some more austrian pines (keeping with the German feel), and also a new archway for Oktoberfest (with rod iron grapevines etc). Soak City-Now im not sure if they wanted a Miami theme and or a islander theme, but here are some ideas. Near the Thunder Falls some tikis sticking out of the ground, some tiki torches along the walkways, some "surfboards" sticking out of the wavepool enterance (Tidal Wave Bay), bring back some of the old fishing nets, plant palm/banana trees in the ground (maybe cold hardy?) around the enterance, finally for the grassy area near the conjoining walkways to Zoom Flume/Splash River a sandy walkway with tropical plants (such as the Australian Canna, and Colocasia Elephant Ears).

Well, if I see more water on the slides I will consider going to it. I hope the beach will get a great remodel.

Yes, its nothing to compare to DollyWood's waterpark (thinking you already have been there). Just a H20 bowl, a "annoying" river, a few colored slides, and a few wavepools, one wavepool makes you get hit by people in tubes.

You should visit Kings Automall, I heard it shows you what you want. Also the old K'rogers is a toyota, its actually larger than what you would think. So hold on, now there is the elevator guy? He must be going "up" in the rankings to work the ET and get information like that! Thanks for posting!
