My favorite amusement park would have to be Epcot, favorite water park is KI Soak City. (Although I haven't been this year yet)

Ok first of all, Cedar Fair was named after Cedar Point and Valleyfair as they were the only two parks when Cedar Fair was founded. Second, I agree with him. Kings Island will not get a giga coaster, they are just not that kind of park. Also, ya Dick wouldn't of let a coaster be built taller than Millennium at a different park but Matt is about family attractions. People think that Kings Island will get a giga coaster just because Canada's Wonderland did. Let me guess, Carowinds will get a giga coaster in 2014 right?

You forgot Paramount Cedar Fair bought all rights to Paramount Parks in North America for 10 years as part of its 2006 acquisition. Even overseas, Viacom, who has the rights elsewhere, is only interested in licensing its intellectual property, at least so far. I know, I was kidding.

You forgot Paramount

I think the biggest difference between Skyhawk and maXair is the lap bars on Skyhawk, they just make it a completely different experience.

Intamin said they won't build another strata coaster and I don't think they ever will until there is new technology to make them more reliable. B&M just isn't in the business of building Drop Towers or water rides. That's like saying why doesn't Ford make airplanes? Ford does manufacture transportation but there not in the business of airplanes. B&M designs roller coasters but they're not in the business of water rides or Drop Towers.

Hey the box is finally coming down. The only bad part about that is Happy Jack's, I'm really hoping they can find a new location in the park for it. Gunna miss those peeing baby's

Maybe it'll turn into a mall like SFNO.

But Cedar Point and Kings Dominion aren't that far away with Gigas. I'd love one at Kings Island but IMO, I don't see it happening. I would much prefer a B&M with inversions such as a Dive Machine.

Skyhawk is my all time favorite flat ride, that feeling when your facing the ground with just the lap bar is amazing. The air time is pretty good too.

I would be shocked to see a giga at Kings Island. I just don't see it happening.

Remember this isn't Cedar Point. Waiting 6 years really isn't that long compared to some parks that haven't gotten a new coaster in over 10 years (California's Great America). They haven't really gotten a big coaster since 93.

The Beast.

Or you could just post it here . It doesn't mean a decision has been made, it means a decision WILL be made before the 2013 season.

I haven't seen the billboard but if it's a Kings Island/Cedar Fair board, I bet it's Dominator from Kings Dominion. They use that coaster on all their advertisements.

I visit PointBuzz, Screamscape and News plus notes regularly. Like it was said above, PointBuzz is a great forum and most of the people know what they are talking about. I'll occasionally visit Theme park review.

I can't wait for the new Test Track. It's deffently my favorite ride at Disney.

I just don't see Kings Island getting a Wing Coaster or a Giga Coaster.

Last Stand-up built was Georgia Scorcher at SFOG in 1999.

Haha yes I am, good to know I'm not the only PointBuzzer I think a wing coaster would fit great at CP and a dive machine would fit great at KI. I never went on Son of Beast but if it really does have some kind of valley or something, they could really do great things with the drop on a dive machine.

Wildwater Kingdom does get very crowded though. Every time I go, it's pretty crowded. I could see it getting expanded sometime in the next couple years.

No ice. It's like when you get a bad of chips, 20% chips, 80% air.

I think Kings Island could use a Dive Machine. I think that would really fit in.

I know Vekoma Boomerangs used to stall in the cobra roll a lot.

Atleast it's not as bad as Cedar Point's, their's is going to get renovated though.
