^ No you're not being nostalgic. I feel the same way about re-creating a modern version of Vortex as a B&M Floorless. How would you feel about the new vest restraints If they did re-create the layout as a Floorless? I would be all for it. Yeah Kings Island already has two launched roller coasters in the park. They could never put another launch roller coaster in there in the next 10 years, and people would still be happy with Kings Island line-up. I'm sure Kings Island will get a Dive, but yeah I agree about putting it where Vortex was. It would just seem out of place there.

Kings Island Opening Day April 11th, 2020
Shawn Meyer replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
#1. I'm looking forward to riding The Beast! 2. Riding Orion and seeing how much of a punch it packs. From the video, it looks like it has a lot of speed and airtime. 3. Seeing how the park looks without Vortex in the skyline. That will be a huge change of scenery for me. No pun intended there. -
Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks

Restarting what? -
That looks sick! And I mean that as in wicked fun! Cedar Fair could always try something like an Intamin pre-fabricated ride at Michigan's Adventure and see how well it does there. I've heard Wolverine there isn't that good. Maybe they could replace it with an Intamin pre-fabricated woody. Just a thought.

^ That swan was interacting with you. You should make a funny face with it next time.

^ Yeah they forgot to throw in there. Gee, what can we shut down today? They seem to enjoy shutting things down. -

Kings Island and Cedar Point opening Mid-May
Shawn Meyer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
So Is there still a chance employees could start being trained in mid-May and open in June? -

I hope they replant trees in new areas.

I guess we're not supposed to have fun this year. -
Kings Island and Cedar Point opening Mid-May
Shawn Meyer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
I wonder If Kings Island and Cedar Point will just wait until mid May like they were originally to see if anything changes before they decide to make a move similar to Knotts berry farm. -
^ Well that is a wild ride, but yeah since they just spent probably $30 million on Orion, I doubt they'll spend that much on something like that. But that ride packs a lot of punch! I love how much intensity it packs throughout the ride. Reminds me of Maverick. I also love how you picked Green!

^ I know right. They seem to be good at shutting everything down. Different topic though. The last time I dreamed about the blimp, it flew over Cedar Point.

Move One Ride from Anywhere in the Country to KI
Shawn Meyer replied to MarketingExpress's topic in Coming Attractions
@SonofBaconator you're cool. My ideal roller coaster to take the spot of Vortex would be a Floorless. I don't know if you read my comment on another topic or not, but I mentioned how cool it would be to have a floorless similar to Dominator at Kings Dominion. It's in the topic, could KI get a Floorless topic. -
Move One Ride from Anywhere in the Country to KI

^ I feel like Cedar Fair is trying to get rid of their stand up coasters. The only one they haven't terminated yet is Vortex at Carowinds. Just my opinion though. If they ever wanted to bring a classic roller coaster to Kings Island, I would say rebuild the classic Big Dipper(GCI style). Not sure where they would put it, but that's the only ride I can think of right now. -

^^ Indyguy I was there last year and all I could think about was, God please stop the rain. It was an off and on rainy day last year on opening day. -
Kings Island and Cedar Point opening Mid-May
Shawn Meyer replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
I don't know what the temperature is down at Kings Island, but I got that feeling in my head of how nice it would be to ride a roller coaster right now. I guess I'm using my imagination. -
Move One Ride from Anywhere in the Country to KI
Shawn Meyer replied to MarketingExpress's topic in Coming Attractions
I think I speak for my friends when they say they wish The Bat/Flight Deck/Top Gun was a little closer inland compared to how it's laid out now. Now hear me out, this is for they're sake not mine. I don't mind walking that far to ride it, but I understand where they're coming from with their argument. -
Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
Shawn Meyer replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
^ Well I know about the track part. Just forgot what the abbreviation stood for. -
Looks like the actual ship was painted too.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
Shawn Meyer replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
I'm bad with abbreviations here. What is CSF? -
^ Wait are they already canceling this summer?
-
^ Well it was just fun speculation. Hopefully the construction workers are allowed to come back to work soon to clean up the area more so we can see how the site really looks to get a good visual.
