^^^Good point! I too would think it would be strange for them to play spooky music. How about this Or this?
-
That was not a good day for the amusement park industry.
-
Ghost Busters anyone?
-
I like Congo falls because it "hides" timber wolf theater.

I think that elements evolve over the years

I just get water up my nose. I hold on to those mats for dear life

I kinda have mixed feelings about Congo Falls. I feel that if it is moved, it will be awkward. But then again, it just doesn't fit in.

Personally I don't like the way things are going. Seems so much like paramount IMO. I don't see his plans for anything thrilling and exciting. So what are Banshee and Gatekeeper, kiddie rides?
-
That is just common sense to me

I hope that the people who voted "BOOOO!!" we're just trying to imitate a ghost

There is no Invertigo or Adventure Express in the video. That doesn't mean they are going to go. I just think slingshot was in the way on the pov so they just trashed it from the video
-
They have done it before on a ride in Kennywood...
-
This could be the station music
-
I think it will be pretty smooth since Banshee has neither a cobra roll or a corkscrew
-
BRING THESE BACK!!! Maybe replace the eagles with bats

Good Lord! Everyone needs to slow down.

The red, yellow, and blue from the buildings need to go. Delirium is fine.

I'm sure Don gets tired of saying this, so I will give him a break The former SOB station will be used for a Haunt attraction this year and beyond.

Here's my thought. You walk down the steps and you walk through a cave where the American flag is. You come out and you see posters of the original Bat. Black supports would hold the track which would be either orange to make it spooky, or red to mimic the original Bat. The trains have Bat Cars and the station is tricked out to look like a barn or an old shed.

It started off as just an empty area with trees and grass. Not even an original section, this area first debuted as Lion Country Safari with a monorail that you rode past many wild animals. Then it became Wild Animal Habitat, featuring the two new roller coasters: Screamin' Demon and King Kobra. In '87, Screamin' Demon left to make room for Amazon Falls which was later renamed Congo Falls under Paramont's ownership. With the addition of Top Gun in 1993 and the subtraction of Wild Habitat, Paramont's Kings Island renamed the area Adventure Village. And then came Xtreme Skyflyer in 95 fallowed by XS Raceway in 96. Paramount later renamed the section, Action Zone in '99 which mimicked a movie set featuring a coaster and a flat ride: Faceoff and Drop Zone: Stunt Tower. The abundance of land left over from Wild Habitat provided Kings Island with many opportunities for a new attraction. In 2000, Son of Beast debuted being the tallest, fastest, and only looping coaster in the world. In 2003 Delerium replaced King Cobra. Now under new ownership, Cedar Fair has done their best to change the Paramount factor of the park . With the renaming of all the movie themed attractions, they focused their attention on Rivertown by adding Diamondback in 2009 which was also the last year Son of Beast ran until it was later dismantled in 2012. So we have been seeing many changes in Action Zone under Cedar Fair. First, the renaming of all the rides. In 2012, Invertigo got a new look, and Son of Beast and Thunder Alley were torn down for "park expansion." In the offseason, the water tower was sold to Jungle Jim's. With the reveal on our new record-breaking B&M Invert, Banshee, we are starting to see the Paramount in Kings Island die off. With all the changes over the years, what should we expect from this historical section in years to come?

I don't either and have never saw any such evidence, but it seems in Indiana that a death is the reason for its removal. 2 in a lake, 1 on flight commander, 1 on the Eiffel Tower No deaths from The Bat, just a lot of down time

Like this? The music is catchy

I hope you were just joking

What was Son of Beast's line like on opening day of 09?
