They could do the overhaul if they wanted to add something like what Carowinds has. I'm talking about the plants vs. zombies show.

When was it's last season? I want to say somewhere in the 2010's decade. CoastersRZ, I bet the kids didn't want to go thru that anymore once they got rid of that.

^ Yes that's what I was looking for. Now I just want to know where was that located exactly? I know it's where Planet Snoopy is today, but what was it nearby in the park?

I don't want to sound like a jerk here, but did anyone read my reply a few days ago?

I like your ideas dude. The only thing is I doubt they would go the full 200 feet with Steel Vengeance up north at Cedar Point. I would say make it slightly taller than Vortex to pay tribute in a way. My ideal height without interfering with The Beast would be 155-160 feet. It doesn't have to break records as long as it's a fun layout. I love your idea of having the entrance near LaRosa's, but not too close. The reason I say that is, people might get upset if the line sticks out while people are trying eat they're pizza outside. Someone mentioned have the plaza across from Backlot Stunt Coaster. I like that idea a lot too.

People on the last page are really hating on Backlot Stunt Coaster. I'm still a fan of Backlot Stunt Coaster.

I know this topic is old, but does anyone have pictures of the old slime zone from Nickeleon? My sister was talking to me about it last week, and I told her I didn't remember it at all.

Where are you guys finding the music at?

Could we please get back on topic? I have a suggestion for the moderators on here. Could we make the countdown numbers above the page stand out more please? It's hard to see.

I'm hoping for a ground up RMC roller coaster to take the footprint of Vortex. My guess is 2022 for the new roller coaster. I know Cedar Point and Knotts didn't get anything for their anniversaries, but here's the thing. Cedar Point is spending millions on new restaurants, the new brick midway, and just recently the new toll booths. So all three of those right there probably equal a roller coaster cost. I'm not sure what Knotts spent they're money on, but I'm sure it was park improvements too.

^ I guess you could kind of count The Beast as an 80s roller coaster. It opened in 1979, but became well known the following year. If they ever remove The Beast, I'll be crying.

I wonder if they're trying to preserve some trees while taking down Vortex. Or they could be removing a few trees to gain access to pulling Vortex down. Anyone want to help me out on that guess?

Anyone in this thread done a recreation of Son of Beast with RMC topper track? That would be slick right there. We can only dream right?

Maybe they made the gaps to pull the lift hill down in sections like they did with SOB and Firehawk.

I hope everyone has a blast at Coaster stock this year. In case nobody read it on the last page, I'll still be there with my friends, but not part of the event.

I respect your opinion, but I'm the opposite here. If done right, they could pull of a similar layout with a ground up rmc. It doesn't have to be record breaking, just fun!

I just mentioned this in another topic, but they could relocate Congo falls to another area of the park. Somewhere closer to the other water rides. Just a thought.

I think with the news of Vortex being removed, maybe just maybe they could move Congo falls in the plot of land that Vortex used. I would prefer they build another roller coaster in that land, but that's an option if they want to add a roller coaster in Action Zone. Here's what I'm really thinking. I'm thinking they'll put a ground up rmc in the spot of Vortex and make it similar to how Twisted Timbers was built. And I want to quote my sister when she says, why does everything have to be record breaking? Kings Island has nostalgia with the fountains, international street, and family atmosphere. If you want record breaking, go to Cedar Point. Getting back to what I was saying, I agree with you dude and believe that they should build the rmc ground up similar to Twisted Timbers, but make it a little longer to accommodate three trains. Just go in the pattern of Maverick in a way. It wasn't the tallest or fastest, but was the steepest and still is the steepest at Cedar Point.

For the pages that said testing should be starting up soon, that's just crazy talk. Why would they test when there's snow on the ground.?

I wonder why they decided to go for the lift hill? Figured that would be the last thing they touch. Maybe the turnaround is challenging? Also dumb question here, but will they take out the footers from Vortex too?

^ Just so you know, I'll still be there, but not part of the event. If the event was still selling tickets like normally in past years, I would probably have bought my ticket next week.

^ I was one of those people. Plus I didn't have the money right away.

I didn't have the money right away and by time I could have made a decision, the event was sold out. I'm surprised by how fast this sold out. It's like it was the off-season tour at Cedar Point or something.

Well Wild Gravity Travels wasn't the only facebook page that messed up earlier today. I don't know If anyone has seen my page before, but I run Cedar Fair Photo Fanpage. Anyway, I made the mistake of posting that Orion was finished too. However, I don't think I'm that well known yet. I only have 500 likes. Hopefully, after reading this post, some of you might look me up.

Question. When they finish constructing Orion, will they move construction equipment over towards Vortex? Also would this mean Vortex would come down in a matter of days?
