So the monorail would go through a bunch of crappy movie scenes? No thank you

I think the park should invest in more lockers in general and maybe reduce the rent price a little.

How to easily anger KICers- talk about removing a coaster

Whoops wrong Timber... http://www.coastercrazy.com/forums/timber-new-gravity-group-for-walibi-rhone-alpes-2016-t35944.html This is awkward...

I'm sure more people were disappointed when the Phantom Theater theming was removed and replaced with "Scooby."

Who knows, perhaps there might be room in the budget for the park to retheme parts of the train ride to MT.

I wouldn't doubt it, the park even said that guests will get the best view of MT from WWC. I'm speculating that train ridership will also increase before the Soak City season even begins.

I feel like the GP isn't demanding a giga like the coaster enthusiasts are and the GP is the main money maker after all. But then again, the GP didn't demand Intimidator 305, Leviathan, or Fury 325..

We really need some flats, especially in Rivertown. CoastersRZ is right when it comes to the section of land by Paradise Island, the area screams flat ride. In all honesty I'd love to see a Cedar Point style midway hit Kings Island. I know we have Coney Mall but it would be nice if there could be an attraction within every 50-100 feet or so. The paths behind the Eiffel Tower surrounding Backlot Stunt Coaster are extremely bare. There's plenty of room to do something.

Woah woah woah hold on... Why would they refurbish Vortex's sign for its 30th anniversary if it was just going to be dismantled a year later like you predicted? Last time I checked Cedar Fair hasn't gotten rid of any of their Arrow loopers and there's no rumors circulating that they will. Even though Vortex is older and rougher than some KI coasters, it can still hold it's own against the newer coasters that are being built today. The area that houses the petting zoo won't go. It's too useful as a stage, a possible haunt location, or as a current home for some petting zoo animals. Demolishing Dinosaurs Alive would bring excitement to most but that doesn't mean its going to happen over the next two years. Why do people even want it replaced by a giga? There's plenty of land to add a mega-sized coaster without taking out another attraction. This isn't Cedar Point. Out of the 700+ acres the park currently owns, if you combine the main park with the water park, only 397 acres have been developed. Also it seems like they've made Field of Screams a permanent haunt location as they're trying to establish more long lasting haunt attractions that don't require much setting up or tearing down so that's a no-go on removing the dinos. Even if Dinosaurs Alive was demolished in favor of a giga it would be a poor choice of location. The land that Dinosaurs Alive currently sits on is extremely rugged which would make it extremely difficult to lay footers down as opposed to just picking a different site for the coaster all together. Cedar Fair hasn't removed any of their water rides, with the exception of Shoot the Rapids, so why would they scrap Congo Falls?

I chose my location for the Ferris wheel because it would be within close proximity to Dodgem and the carousel. The reason why I think a dark ride should be near Adventure Express is simple. I am not a fan of the Crypt building and would rather just see it knocked down because it sicks out like a sore thumb. If a dark ride was put in the little "Triangle" between Racer, FOF, and Adventure Express, then KI would have more room to work with as opposed to trying to fit a coaster into a pre-existing building. Plus the extra building would cover up that giant empty space making up what I previously called the "triangle." They could install a building that could house a dark ride and still have enough room for a maintenance road.

I have a request. Do you have any pictures from the K.I.&.M.V.R.R from the 70s-80s? I've saved a lot that I've found online but I'd love to see more!

I drove by the park today on my way to Great Wolf Lodge to get my girlfriend a Valentine's Day gift and my spirits lifted. The lack of leaves on the trees gave me a perfect view of MT and it fits in so perfectly!

They can always build another dining shelter can't they? Also I was thinking of originally putting the dark ride in the old Crypt building but the building itself isn't large enough to fit a coaster like Wonder Mountain's Guardian. It could fit an Iron Reef style attraction but not a coaster.

I tried to mimic this concept when I was thinking to find a way to realistically tweak Coney Mall and this is what I came up with.

I think Coney Mall needs somewhat of an overhaul. Yes the pavers were a good step in the right direction but they can certainly do more to up the wow factor.

You can also see the truck in the blueprints right at the ride's entrance. Notice how windy the path gets between the ride plaza and the beginning of the straight section of the que line. Maybe #theming? Also you can see the locker building in the upper left corner so the building that was shown in the photo above isn't a locker building. It doesn't even seem like a photo building either because it isn't part of the exit.

They aren't going to get rid of Timberwolf, it brings in extra revenue when the park books singers or hosts events such as music in the park. Scrapping Timberwolf would eliminate the opportunity to host large events or have singers perform in the park.

Are you sure you're not thinking about the Columbus Zoo?

I honestly thought GWL was enough but perhaps if KI offered cheeper rates they could add a campground. The question is where would the campground be located if they decided to add one? Maybe acquire some land by The Beach or find some space across the highway.

I'm sorry but it seems like you're criticizing the Cedar Fair chain as a whole for it's choice in B&M installations yet you praise B&M's from non-CF parks. Everyone has their own opinion on coasters but your's seem extremely bland and lack any explanation. Therefore saying a ride sucks and not saying anything else to back up your claim is an invalid statement.

I'm not ruling out Intamin possibly returning to the chain. I would actually prefer the company to do some smaller work for Cedar Fair like shuttle coasters and flat rides. I mainly say this because honestly, I think Mack is going to dominate Intamin when it comes to intense launched coasters in the coming years.

Since it was announced that CGA will be getting a LIM steel coaster that'll be 200+ feet in the future, the question has to be asked- "Is Intamin coming back to Cedar Fair?" The last time Cedar Fair worked with Intamin was back in 2010 when they added Intimidator 305 to Kings Dominion and Shoot the Rapids to Cedar Point.. After 2010, Intamin has been notably absent from the Cedar Fair chain as B&Ms and GCIs started to be built in multiple parks. Though Intamin has produced great rides over the years, they haven't necessarily been labeled as reliable. Sections of rides like I305 and Maverick have been re-tracked after being built either changing elements or removing them all together. Also Shoot the Rapids had an accident that injured several riders. Is it possible that Cedar Fair is bringing Intamin back? Or is it possible (but extremely unlikely) that Wicked Twister at CP might move to CGA?

I think if it were maintained better and changed up a bit people might like it. I just feel like anymore the "nightlife" at the park as seemed a tad dismal, but that's just what I think.

I really want to see the return of Snoopy's Starlight Spectacular. Ever since its been gone the park just seems way more dark and desolate.
