[What new attraction would make the best sense for KI?]

^ I like that idea. It's a shame that action theater hasn't gotten much love since the 90s and early 2000s. 

[Kings Island Dreams]

I had a dream last night where contractors we're surveying the land that occupied Vortex. They couldn't get any kind of planning down because they kept saying the ravine was too deep. I kept trying to tell them in my dream, just work around the ravine and come up with something unique. They said, "No we have to make this piece of land not so deep!" They're solution was to add more dirt in the former plot of land. I guess the construction workers didn't like my idea of working with the terrain.

[Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex]

I know people are tired of B&M, but just one more and make it a Floorless.

[What new attraction would make the best sense for KI?]

^ I can see where you're going with this, but I have some ideas for you. I would put the station where The Vortex station was and have the layout turn to the right just like Vortex. Instead of a normal chain lift, the train shoots up like 107 feet then drops at a 95 degree angle just like Maverick. They layout still drops straight, but turns crazy wild like how Maverick does to the right; in front of The Beast service road there. I could see the layout start to use the ravine a little where it dips to it's advantage too. What do you think?

[What new attraction would make the best sense for KI?]

I've said it on other topics, but I would love to see a ground up rmc in the spot of Vortex. If not there, maybe in the spot of The Bat. I've heard rumors that might be the next roller coaster getting the boot. I also wouldn't mind seeing a B&M Floorless model come to Kings Island. I've mentioned this before too on other topics on KI central. Have a similar layout like Dominator at Kings Dominion.

[Kings Island's next big coaster a ground-up R.M.C?]

Ohh boy! Both of those rides are fan favorite rides. Removing either one of those rides would be a heartbreaking.

Why spend money to put in a big new ride, when the park is already making money. 

I read your whole reply but wanted to respond to this comment.  Yes they're making money, but it would still be nice for a smaller park to have a new roller coaster added once every 5-10 years. I often hear people say, Michigan Adventure's is alright, but it's boring. Maybe if they add a GCI roller coaster like Mystic Timbers, that would put them on the map. Give people a reason to come to a park that's in the middle of nowhere. Take Holiday World for instance. The closest major city to them is Louisville, Kentucky. Other than that, they're in the middle of nowhere too.

[RMC throughout Cedar Fair?]

I know this is random, but I like to think that their relationship with RMC is mutual. I wouldn't say they have a love-hate relationship. 

[Could KI be getting a Floorless next?]

Minus the squeaking in the beginning, it's not a bad ride. Here's the link in case people wanted to see what it's like.

They could also use the name Polaris since they copyrighted that name two years ago.

[RMC throughout Cedar Fair?]

^Would a ground up RMC still be possible in the Cedar Fair chain? I would still love If RMC built a ground up at Kings Island.

[International Street's Royal Fountain]

l must be one of the few that like the new fountains. The only thing I wish they did was shoot the new fountains up higher. I get it, corporations want newer products and Cedar Fair did just that with the fountains. Now If they could shoot them up just as high as the old fountains, then I would feel like the pedestals are still there.

[How many times have you ridden Orion?]

13 so far, but I have a good reason for that. I work two jobs and it's hard for me to get down there as often as the regular fanboys on here.

[The Racer 2020 Off Season Track Work]

I know this subject I'm going to talk about belongs in the dream thread, but I thought since we're talking about Racer might as well talk about it here. I've seen this photo many times lately where the track is missing in the above photo, but in my dream Kings Island practically demolished the whole blue side of Racer and built it from the ground up; all GCI style. The good news was they announced they were adding those special trains like what Mystic Timbers has on it.

[Could KI be getting a Floorless next?]

^Son of Beast was a beautiful wooden roller coaster, but it was a chiropractor nightmare as far as what the human body can withstand. If they ever decide to build something on that scale, I hope Cedar Fair considers Gravity Group or GCI to come in and build it. Heck, I would be cool with them going with RMC topper track to make it look like an all out wooden roller coaster.

[Could KI be getting a Floorless next?]

If they decide to put a Floorless roller coaster in the former vacancy of Vortex, they could use the terrain to their advantage. An example would be similar to how they built Orion with the first drop. The first hill could climb up the same way Vortex did; then turn and drop! The rest of the layout would be up to Kings Island.

[The Beast Experience]

^ I'm sure The Beast will get some TLC this winter too! They just didn't mention it yet. Supposedly they had steel for the helix, but I never saw that over the summer. My experience on The Beast this summer was great! I didn't have any issues.

[Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex]

^ What type of roller coaster are you digging at in this picture? That track reminds me of Valravn. 

[The Racer or The Beast]

The Beast for sure is number one for me. I know this topic is about The Racer and The Beast, but Mystic Timbers would be second, followed by The Racer.

[Favorite KI Ride Sign.]

Banshee has the best ride sign. 

[Banshee trouble?]

I've been seeing online from different Facebook pages, that Banshee was down over the weekend and probably done for the season. Anybody know what's wrong with Banshee? 

[What Kings Island roller coaster do you want RMCed or GCIed?]

Now let's say GCI modifies certain sections of The Beast every year. By year five of GCI retracting, would it be as smooth as Mystic Timbers?

[2021 Plans]

Is Cedar Fair in the hole debt wise because of Covid-19?

[Move One Ride from Anywhere in the Country to KI]

^ Are you suggesting it be made by gravity group?

[Kings Island 50th Anniversary Ideas]

^ For both you guys here. I don't think Planet Snoopy needs an overhaul except in the area where the Ice cream stand is. It really bottles up right in that area when they have lines. The rest of the area is fine in my opinion.
