I always thought the logo post loop removal looked really sad too. It was definitely empty without the signature element. I appreciate that all of the SoB merch they've released over the years uses the original logo with the loop. It always looked so cool. I really wanna get one of the metal light up signs from Scott's page as that has always been one of my favorite logos. For the fun of it, lets just say they did do a reboot. I wonder what the new logo would look like? I would hope they would still use the eyes as those are iconic to the design. A mix of old and new would be really rad.

Just sad. It would be nice to have some clarity on what actually happened to it though. Scrap or storage?

And they present to us: "TIGER HAWK!!!"

Too bad you don't run this on Instagram or I'd definitely give it a follow. I gave up Failbook some time ago because it was painfully toxic for me and my limited social media presence is far better for my mental health. But if you ever do make an accompanying account for this on Insta please let me know!

Just another amusing social experiment I suppose

Just combine the two and make the tallest, fastest only wooden invert on the planet!

I was about to say Banshee really is out here having the worst time this season. Definitely hope no more bad things happen before the season is out.

I would really love to see this make a come-back. It was such a fun experience and another place to go on a hot day to find relief in AC. It was also a nice way to break up the traditional riding experience of flats and coasters. There are a lot of possibilities at play if they ever brought it back. Especially now in the digital age where they no longer have to worry about physical film (then again I believe I once saw a photo of Kentucky Kingdom's motion theater using floppy discs! ). I realize if they were to revitalize the AT they would need to do some serious upgrades from the projection system to the sound system to the actual simulator system itself. But I think it would be really cool. If they were to take advantage of any of the merger stuff ( if legally able to do so ) they could have something Peanuts related on one side and something DC related on the other. Imagine a 3-D Batman experience on one side where you're jumping, fighting and running through Gotham City and on the other side of the theater have a Flying Ace experience where you're ducking and diving and doing silly Snoopy antics. I could see both themes being a good time for everyone.

Ya know, who really cares why they are putting the ride at CP and not SixFair's Great Island Adventure. I'm excited to see what the light package will look like at night!!!

I am looking forward to seeing Soak City in person next season. I really hope that these renovations really improve the water park experience, especially now that it is the only large scale outdoor facility in the area. I always enjoy my Soak City visits now that I have made a point of going a couple of times a year since moving out this way. Like many of you, I have always thought that there was a need to add some improvements along the way. I realize with it being much more seasonal than the dry side it doesn't get near the attention, but now with CI gone, I feel this is a step in the right direction towards more investments. Would love to see more shade added and of course any new slide or fun experience to be added is a good thing. Helps disperse the crowds more since Soak City gets verrryyyy congested on peak summer days.

I miss the days where we could just speculate and have fun discussions without every single tiny nuance being dissected down to the T. This is a hobby, not a trial. In the grand scheme of things, none of the reasons really matter why piece A went to place B except to the people invested and involved in the businesses themselves. The microscope has no place here and nothing should be taken so seriously that an argument needs to ensue at every turn. Facts will come from the appropriate sources. As for the rest of us, we are just enthusiasts having fun. Afterall, that is the main point of being on these kinds of forums, right?

Harley Quinn: The Siren Chronicles

The gulls think its a fine investment! What a heck of a perch they added for them this season!

I skipped opening Haunt weekend for a change in exchange of taking care of things around the house, errands and what not and some self care. I won't be making it to a KI Haunt until the middle of next month since I have so much to do the next two weekends, but I am glad to hear that opening weekend was fun and that it sounds like an improvement over last seasons' Haunt!

The idea of a super tall spinning coaster sounds like a giant nope from me dog. My ability to ride spinning rides is very limited on the speed and kind of spinning performed and spinning roller coasters are just not something I think my equilibrium can handle. And the idea of a really tall and fast one just sounds...gimmicky IMHO. I realize that might sound really amazing for some as a possibility and I'd be happy for ya'll. But I would sit that one out. On another note, the possibility of Ka either getting torn down or revamped doesn't shock me. I would be more upset if they tore it down since I have yet to get a chance to ride it. But if they do make an announcement for its retirement in any capacity, it would make it to the top of my list of coasters to ride as not to miss out on it.

Lazy typing on my part on my phone and I own that. But seriously? It ain't that deep lol

OK first of all, call me a Vekoma-fan boi all you want, but I am STOKED to see a larger scale new age Vekoma make its way state side. Even if it was meant to go somewhere else, I could care less. I LOVE the theming. I've been enjoying the darker-omen type theming and names that Cedar Fair has been going with. Really can't wait to see what merch they come out with for this one. I will say that it does feel just a tad overwhelming that they had TT2 purposed to open this year and it fell incredibly short of that expectation and will essentially still be a brand new ride for next year seeing as only a handful of people in the grand scheme of things were able to ride it this year. It will be interesting to see how they market the coasters next year seeing as they will have essentially TWO new headliners for 2025 so long as TT2 gets it s*** together. The lower capacity will absolutely be a nightmare, lets be real. This isn't a capacity monster by any stretch of the word and CP's ops have been dismal the last few years so I don't hold out any hope that lines will move quickly. I also wonder if FL+ will have its own que or if they will in typical CP fashion with most of their coasters have it bypass 3/4 of the line just to merge with the main standby line. Regardless, there are absolutely no complaints here from me. This looks like a fantastically fun ride with incredible theming and I am here for it. I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning waking up to this announcement! Now this makes me feel like the possibility of a Vekoma looper taking Vortex's plot is more possible. I know this really doesn't indicate anything, but since CF is actively working with Vekoma it makes me hopeful that KI's next big coaster could be one of their incredible new loopers.

The rumor is that they are going to tear down all of the Backlot Stunt Coasters and use their tracks since they held up so well with the water effects so old Premier it is!

I wish they'd bring back the tasting cards. I remember they did it one year and it was awesome because it allowed one to save a little money while also getting to try multiple specialty foods. I like the sound of the offerings this year. I suppose we shall see how they look/taste.

Triple-launch water coaster

I'd like to know if when the lantern activates at this point if the station lights up too. Only wondering since it appears that there is at least one prop of some gangly creepy body from the Wolf Pack days and since they put up some webbing in there, it would be cool if it lit up and did a howl or something. I guess we will find out this coming weekend what it does.

And then bring the Haunt lantern to Winterfest! A little Nightmare Before Christmas vibes

Joke's on us! Now that SIX is the other half of the company, they are going to pull out a page from the ol'playbook from their SFWoA days and put in TWO major installments in the same year! One in The Vortex plot and one in the SoB station!!! ( hard sarcasm here )

Add some whimsy to the spooky

I will say again. This speculation is fun! Nothing is ever a guarantee here, but man this is a good time seeing all of this activity. I think it bears mentioning again that if the old station were truly not usable, 1) Why would it have been left standing all of these years? It is, after all, a 24ish year old structure that has for all intents and purposes been standing without a real purpose for longer than when it housed the rebellious Son. I realize it was used as Wolf Pack for a few seasons but that has been retired some years back due to any number of reasons ( dip in popularity? building needing brought up to code? both? etc ) 2) Why would they be putting all of this recent work into the station if they didn't have something else planned for it? I am in no way saying they are going to absolutely build a coaster for it ( I sure hope so just like everyone else ) but there is definitely something they plan to do with it besides let it sit abandoned for another 24 years. Seems like a lot of effort just to let it sit when they could have easily just torn it down. This wouldn't be the first time in the park's history to re-use an old station of a problematic ride to house something else ie: the orignal Bat/Vortex While I think the concept of the RMC T-Rex is neat, I'm in the camp of wanting to see a ground-up hybrid as I feel that is far more fitting for a Son of Beast reboot.
