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

I guess I would like an RMC like this one. This one is a 200ft coaster so we can still get a good size one with the inversions RMC offers. I like the looks of it too . . still miss seeing the large wooden structure of SOB. So I think it would look great back there and maybe move the entrance down by LaRosa's so it can be part of Rivertown. Just a thought.
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 can not help, but to acknowledge the fact that 2022 is the parks 50th anniversary. Or not, they honestly didn't do much for CPs 150th as far as major rides are concerned.
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.

My reasoning:
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 don't like the idea of Congo Falls getting torn out, but I know it's also not that popular of an attraction anymore so Cedar Fair may very well consider it. It may be a bit far-fetched, but if Congo Falls does get removed, I would hope that at some point in the distant future, Kings Island puts in a Mack Rides Power Splash or Water Coaster in Rivertown where the TR;TR building is.
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.

I do believe it will be a ground up RMC hybrid, but it will have similar stats to Twisted Timbers, not SV. Cedar Fair has obviously shown us that they are not interested in building record breaking rides at KI (with the exception of Banshee's longest inverted coaster record, which no one really cares about). The good news is that Twisted Timbers is a great ride.
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?

^ Good point there King Ding Dong. I should have mentioned that I think a new roller coaster will make it's debut in 2022 in the spot of Vortex.

In my opinion, they are removing the station and ride because they have plans that involve not only widening the midway, but also for adding a new ride/roller coaster in a year or two. Just my opinion here, but they will probably put in a new roller coaster and we'll all be shocked when it debuts.

^ 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?
