You mean to tell me Express doesn't have a great ending?
-
Overly sensative? Yeah right. I guess abiding by the rules is frowned upon in your book.

If you were to change your avatar, I might be more apt to answer your question.

8 flip Oh...Right. Silly fingers, not doing what my brain tells them to do.

Valleyfair's Dinosaurs Alive 2013

Bet they can't wait for WindSeeker: New for 2014! -
Well, this is from another fansite...just thought I'd bring it up... Bolded for emphasis. I doubt the Department of Agriculture would be so lenient on this. By the way, how did the DoA get stuck with amusement rides...?

2012 Halloween Haunt Lineup Announced!
TheCrypt replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
^I'd hate to be NEAR the joint! Eden Musee has had extensive work taking place. Picture via Cedar Point's Instagram Makes me wonder if we will see something similar, or perhaps, and quite the longshot, a facelift on Durga? Almost certainly not, just throwing that out there. Looking at the picture again, it looks like it is on a smaller scale, nothing to the extent of the goddess. Carry on. But I also like the screw in the mouth. -
According to Mr. Kinzel, the biggest mistake of his career was Top Thrill Dragster. It's still there. Others would say Mean Streak. It is, too. I don't see how the Dragster has been his biggest mistake. Surely, the crowds it brought in has also outweighed the revenue it costs to maintain and run the ride. Many of my friends who are not amusement park savvy would say the Dragster is their favorite.

^There already is one-- labeled "WindSeeker". I think it's only updated every hour or so, but I'm not sure the validity of that statement. Link

The ride's gondola was reduced by a third to accommodate the 9-flip cycle. The gondola was not retrofitted to lose a row after the 9-flip cycle.

Tomb Raider, in essence, also destroyed the ride. Water, too much stress, fog, steam, and more. The theming was gone by the first month. Why would I want that? The Crypt had a better soundtrack, even if it wasn't composed specifically for the ride. The queue felt more in-depth than it was in the Tomb Raider days. Plus, it was a relaxing-yet-slightly-thrilling break from the rest of the 60+ mph scream machines in the park. The overall experience is what made it for me.

I don't understand the problem with my choice of The Crypt. It was a fun ride and had a great ride experience as far as I'm concerned. The Crypt also had significantly less downtime than did Tomb Raider, and FUN actually had an interest in maintaining as well as introducing new special effects. If I were to say Diamondback, I'd get zero hate. So why The Crypt?
-
Is this a problem? I enjoyed The Crypt, so I would like to have it back. What's wrong with that?
-
Anything for marketing, I suppose.
-
I'll let someone else explain the title to BB1. I can't really explain it, as getting my point across is hard to do occasionally.
-
Who said I was ranting? Who said you answered the question incorrectly? I was correcting your misconception as you thought it was only Paramount additions, when it was in fact not. Rendezvous Run still has the old, tired, revolting color scheme you seem to love. I agree with you that it is out of place with all the bright tropical colors!
-
Bahahahahaha so how did Paramount theme the waterslides? The poll is asking what you would like from what was then Paramount's Kings Island (now Kings Island), not what was added under the Paramount moniker.

^They are the exact same slides. Omit faded paint. I'll take The Crypt for 5,000.

2012 Halloween Haunt Lineup Announced!

A uniquely-themed facade overlooking the midway enticing passersby to enter. Same concept can be used for the Crypt's entrance. Isn't there already a façade to the building? The cave mouth surrounded by overgrowth, lit by lanterns casting eerie shadows, is enough in my opinion. If they were to set up a façade, it would already be set up at this point (see Massacre Manor). If not, at the very least, we would start to see brush being trimmed back to make way. I doubt we will be seeing a new front end being put on The Crypt--er, the house of scary wax stuff. -
If it woobles, I think they should just taer it down. I'm not sure. It's just a theroy.
-
Why not a behind-the-scenes of a Haunt or two?

The same rule can be applied to rides like Adventure Express, Invertigo, Flying Ace Aerial Chase, even Diamondback. You can tell when someone is screaming out of fear, and just screaming to be "funny." Immature.
