  1. From what I gather, the Invertigo model was extremely popular amongst roller coaster enthusiasts compared to the original sit down version, so naturally only 4 were ever built… I’m kind of surprised we haven’t seen a modern version of the Invertigo model with new track and vest restraints.
  2. I’m honestly surprised they’re still keeping Vortex around.
  3. I always wondered if Top Thrill 2 and Iron Menace would’ve even been projects to consider post FUN/SIX merger as opposed to pre merger like what had actually happened. Thoughts?
  4. I love Hanna Barbera but aside from Scooby Doo, there has hardly been any exposure anymore to warrant a comeback.
  5. With Coney Island management wanting to build a larger park elsewhere, was Northern Kentucky ever considered when finding a new place to build the larger park we know today as “Kings Island?”
  6. Lionel can always make models based off of any Crown locomotive since they’re all 4-4-0s
  7. You make a good point. The only thing I can think of that would amend that would be changing stories-similar to how Chuck E Cheese used to change out their shows with different music back in the day; but even then you’d have to update the show nearly every other season to keep it fresh.
  8. Have attractions that aren’t ride based- like the Hall of Presidents or Country Bear Jamboree. They’ve done a live action show in the KI Theater for the past two seasons. If entertainment wanted to focus resources on different shows, KI could still use the PT theme for a sit down animatronic show.
  9. The Racer helped get KI started: The Beast helped KI grow
  10. I don’t know about the sign but I know vulture is in storage.
  11. Well^ I’m not trying to be conspiracy theorist here but…. With this announcement, the kids area is going to be nearly perfectly split into 2 halves. I know the Camp Snoopy theme ties into the Apple TV show and we also see this with Knott’s, but here’s my question: Why not go all the way with it? It could simply be a budget thing to just update the back part of the kids area but for some reason this reminds of of what Paramount did in the 90s…but in reverse. In the 90s the back part of Hanna Barbera Land became Nickelodeon with both sections coexisting up until the Nickelodeon Universe rebrand. With the upcoming merger of FUN and SIX, could the park be leaving the front part of the kids area open for a rebrand? Could we see “Bugs Bunny Boomtown” or “DC Superfriends” take over the “old” Planet Snoopy? Could we see Woodstock Express and Boo Blasters return to Scooby Doo IP? If they overhauled the whole kids section I wouldn’t even bring this up, but the fact that they split the kids area into two halves leaves the possibility open for the the “older” section to be considered for a rebrand that doesn’t involve Peanuts LLC.
  12. Not to be critical at all but how much longer until companies quit using the pandemic as the reason to cut budgets? I acknowledge that during the pandemic and the years following there was a huge financial struggle across the board but are we going to be hearing pandemic well into 2030?
  13. I’m sure there are a few parks SEAS wouldn’t mind acquiring from either FUN or SIX.
  14. I wonder if they changed RFYLCB due to people not knowing about the 1970s film and making negative assumptions.
  15. I’ll start. Aside from International Restaurant, the second floors of the buildings along International Street can’t accommodate people in a hospitality capacity. If there was one thing I wish they had some foresight on, it would be the potential revenue they could’ve earned by making the second stories of I-Street fully accessible for parties or special events like they do for International Restaurant.
  16. Backlot. Remove all the city theming and plant grass and some trees. I don’t care what it’s themed too as long at the Hollywood stuff goes away.
  17. I honestly still think a 150-200ft tower complex would be a cool addition.
  18. I’m just worried about attractions down the road. Are CF parks going to get Larson Loops, and other six flags esque installs?
  19. I know you’re going to get budget cuts with mergers across the board but I hope this isn’t the theme of the new company for the rest of the decade.
  20. So any updates on Camp Snoopy? Photos, videos, any sort of update from the park?
