TheCrypt

Not to mention The Crypt, Space Spiral, and Geauga Lake.

I trust Ouimet knows what he's doing, but I can't help but worry we'll lose what's left of that "international feel" we have on International Street with the fountain renovation. But I think I would be content with the changes coming, so long as we don't lose the traditional fountains we have now. His gap estimates of our park has me wondering if we really will get a thrill coaster in Son of Beast's land.

We don't know. Either that, or the people who know aren't talking (justifiably so). We as a community don't even know if the park has plans for the area or not.

Aren't all rides night rides at night?

Retheme or restore? There are a couple rides needing to be restored. *cough*Adventure Express *cough* As far as new theming, get rid of the Diamondback queue TV's and get some area-specific music back in the park.

As long as VIACOM doesn't get anywhere near this project, I can see this working out well.

So the Monster we have today is not the original Monster?

2010: Planet Snoopy, far from "nothing." And I'm not sure how that ties into my post?

We get a new show in the Festhaus, presumably replacing American Country as that show has run it's typical 2-year run. @KingsIslandPR I'll keep my personal thoughts out of this, mostly because they look like this

You just listed one of the major reasons the ride needs a major upgrade; the guns. It seems half of the guns don't even work, and the ones that do typically have bad accuracy. An upgrade in guns would be major in and of itself. Could it be the only working thematic elements in Boo Blasters are black lights and painted cardboard? A larger and/or more mature audience might be drawn if the ride's thematic elements weren't so "cheap" looking and volatile in operation. As is, the ride isn't "worth it." If it were to get an update, even just a few more 3-dimensional objects and a couple new guns here and there, the whole experience would be so much better, at least for me.

When did the Troika change to Shake, Rattle & Roll, and what happened to that fantastic color scheme and lighting package?

I second Terp. Busch Gardens Williamsburg is a fantastic park with a great collection of rides, not to mention the fantastic landscaping, theming...pretty much what The Interpreter said. Snowman, take lots of pictures and tell us about your experiences!

No trip to Kings Dominion is complete without a ride on Dominator, Volcano, I305, Blue Ridge Tollway, Flying Eagles, Triple Spin, Shockwave, and The Crypt. The Crypt has the best theming of any Top Spin named The Crypt IMO. Oh and Berserker is more painful than it is fun. You should definitely skip it.

^The log flume upgrade at Knott's has me wondering if we will see something similar happen at one of the other seasonal parks. Boocifer's castle in Mason, OH needs a massive overhaul.

It probably was. When I went through it last season, there were all these random sprayers and water curtains in roped off areas. I wish it wasn't roped off; a maze would be fun!

I have been loosely following this Kentucky Kingdom discussion, so please bear with me. Ed Hart wants to run the place, so why won't the fairboard let him? The park is located on fairboard grounds, and I understand they don't want to take a risk, but they could be missing out on potential revenue for the state. Right now, the park is collecting dust and, I would imagine, is costing the state money. If the man has the ambition and presents a believable plan, why not supply Hart with the money, even if only a fraction? It all seems to tie into this quote, to me anyways. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." -Wayne Gretzky

I really hope WindSeeker will operate more next season. Even if I don't go on it on a certain trip, it is a spectacle to see in the surrounding area. It adds something to the atmosphere of the park, but I can't place my finger on it. Easy: Adventure Express Hard: Ticket booths outside front gate Expert: Linus' Launcher

Do you know if Tower and FoF are still connected like that?

I hope I won't yell at my kin!

They also need to check how to spell Leviathan.

The rugged sign is to define that area of the park as the old rides. Classics that have made it though the worst. They are the rides that remain as many other rides have changed/ been removed though out the years. The Yin and Yang is for the fact that if their was no blue racer running it would be unbalanced. They need each other to make it a race. One could also argue that more people will ride it if the two are racing. A classic amusement park (which Coney Mall was meant to resemble) doesn't strike me as rugged and old.

I should have been clearer in my question; I meant what Terp is saying.

The trash can would stop more people from entering the queue than would a sign. And may I ask, how does a rugged Yin and Yang symbol fit The Racer? I just wish rides located at dead ends in the park *cough* Invertigo *cough* would have associates standing farther down the pathway to tell people the ride's closed. I don't like walking to a dead end to find the ride is closed.

Perhaps the attraction was no longer profitable for the park.
