Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
DJSkyFoxx replied to Klabergian Empire's topic in Kings Island
Look. I am always grateful for the new things we get. From flats to slides and everything above and in between. However, I really reallllllyyyy hope that a dive machine ISN'T our next coaster. I don't have anything against them as they do give a fun experience, but I really want to see something special go in The Vortex plot. That land has had two significant slices of coaster history upon it and I would really love to see something amazing there. I've said it a thousand and one times, please please please let it be some kickin' next gen Vekoma looper! It would be something new, fresh and a nod to the past. I'm not against a dive machine elsewhere in the park, I just want to see something different take the stage where Vortex sat. I realize my dream RMC-SoB 2.0 will likely remain just that, a dream. But if anything else were to be miraculously placed where the rebellious son's station still sits ( and I am in no way assuming that the station can still be utilized-a new one could take its place ) a dive machine interacting with Banshee could be cool and it would use up the remaining plot of land that SoB occupied. Just a thought. -
Kings Island 2024 Food Reviews and Discussion
DJSkyFoxx replied to SmartCat7162's topic in Kings Island
I think this is awesome. It's sad that there probably were people who took advantage of this situation, but I feel most folks try to be honest and I am grateful to hear that they still took care of folks. This is the kind of situation that when handled accordingly keeps people coming back and staying loyal customers. -
RiverRacers coming to Soak City in 2025
DJSkyFoxx replied to JubJester's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
I'm just happy to see a new water ride put in. Soak City has needed it for quite some time and this is a nice addition. Especially now that this is the only major water park in the area, an update was desperately needed. -
All I'm thinking is "yay more fall rides!!!". I am grateful for every season at the park. Spring is exciting because of the long hiatus off during winter, summer is action packed and full of opportunity to visit both the dry and wet side of the park. Fall is just magical. Crisp, cool air, the feel and the smell of crunchy leaves, the earlier darkness leaving room for lots of night rides, spooky vibes. All of that. I am all for it!!! Not to mention I feel fall rides just hit different. They feel wilder, faster and more out of control which I dig. Winterfest was awesome last year IMHO. I felt for what was lacking during Haunt they made up for during Winterfest. I am hoping for a good Winterfest this year too as it has helped me personally with coping with the holiday season.
-
Wonder if it will be a dueling type water coaster or it will just be like a figure-8 style layout? Mmm. I guess we will find out in a week. Exciting either way!
-
This just shows that there is still a need for this ride, or some kind of water attraction. They are still popular on hot days for those on the dry side of the park. I for one am glad they have taken such good care of Congo Falls.
-
Holy WOWZA! Was this line actually utilizing the switchbacks in the que?! I don't think I have ever seen the line for Congo this long!
-
I think a Haunt drone show would be neat. They could still do it around 10PM and then proceed with the rest of the night until 12-1 or however late they will keep Haunt going. That way if folks choose to leave after the drone show that gives them sort of an out and for those who choose to stay later, can.

Is Invertigo down for the rest of the season?
DJSkyFoxx replied to FoxyFitzHamilton's topic in Kings Island
If it is indeed a part they are waiting on, I imagine it might be taking a bit longer since Vekoma would probably have to fabricate a new part from start to finish. With the Invertigo model not being a common ride, I have a hard time imagining them having a readily available part on hand to ship out. Just a guess of course. -
A Halloween themed version of this would be rad!

How Much Longer For Boo Blasters On Boo Hill?
DJSkyFoxx replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in KI Polls
At this point anything would be an upgrade to it. Don't get me wrong, I still get a kick out of riding BB and "trying" to get a higher score than my company, but more often than not the blasters don't work at all or they sparingly work. And it's been a haunted castle theme for 21 years now. I think having a brand new refresh to the ride would be welcomed. It could still be something interactive but just something other than its current long held iteration. -

DJSkyFoxx replied to FoxyFitzHamilton's topic in Kings Island
I hope it reopens sooner rather than later. I was joking around saying that maybe they're finally putting comfort collars on it Seriously though, that would be awesome. -
Kings Island 2024 Food Reviews and Discussion
DJSkyFoxx replied to SmartCat7162's topic in Kings Island
Nope. That would simply make it an iced coffee. And that's fine. My only concern would be the initial high temp melting the ice too quickly and watering it down too much. Also cold brew and iced coffee are not the same. Cold brew is where the coffee grounds are steeped in cool/cold water over night or several hours. Usually comes with an upcharge compared to iced coffee since it is usually made in small batches. Less acidic and more caffeine than regular coffee. Richer/bolder taste too. -
Now HERE is a good opportunity to give away some free fudge! Bring in school supplies, get a piece of fudge!
-
I just wanna see Haunt get some teeth back to it. It has been such a shell of what it used to be (IMO). I still love going if for nothing else to get some foggy night rides in, but I sure as heck miss when the event had some bite to it.

My fiancé' and I got to see the show yesterday as a nice way to end our day of playing at the water park. Really enjoyed it. Lots of great use of light and dark. Great storytelling. Great interaction with the guests, especially the kids. Enjoyed the laser dance a lot! Overall this was a very fun show and I am very grateful the extended it out so we could have a chance to see it. I was impressed to say the least. Just a great time!
-
The fudge should just be a given if you visit X amount of times but hey
-
Well this is sad to hear. I almost popped in last evening after work and forewent that due to simply not being up to contending with heat and lots of humans after an already stressful day. I would have been asking the same thing if I saw this. I really hope Invertigo sticks around awhile longer. We would be losing another looper and another coaster in general. And it really is one of the more intense rides in the park which I am a fan of. I always try to get at least one ride in per visit since I know it's time is ticking. It'll be interesting to see what happens in that area of the park while it's gated off.

I just hope the food offerings taste better than they did last year. Most of the food was pretty bland/cold and that was disappointing. There were maybe 2/6 items we had that were decent, but the rest were met with file 13. This menu sounds tempting, but I guess we shall see.

Snoopy's Soap Box Racers & Camp Snoopy Reviews

Imagine them going really cheap and turning the building into an indoor inflatable park. The smell of feet would be the scariest part!

Snoopy's Soap Box Racers & Camp Snoopy Reviews
DJSkyFoxx replied to KIghostguy's topic in Kings Island
I actually noticed a little bit of that myself on my last ride and I thought "I either have to be just a littttttttle dehydrated due to the heat OR this thing is really broken in nicely enough now to really get the full force of it". It could have been a little combination of both, but either way, still amazed at how Vekoma was able to make such a well-rounded family coaster that everyone of varying thrill levels can enjoy. -
I've been hearing about this, but haven't personally experienced it on any of my visits thus far. Hopefully whatever is going on with it isn't anything that will have it removed any time soon. I know I am in the minority here, but I actually like it. It's also the only Vekoma Invertigo model operating in the states. If it gets kept around for awhile longer I would love to see it get updated shoulder harnesses. That would really make a huge difference in the ride experience. Granted I have it figured out how to ride it, I would not argue having a more comfortable restraint system. I would argue to say this is one of the more intense coasters in the park.

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
DJSkyFoxx replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
The sad thing is that there are people who still don't fully grasp the current pass structure let alone if there are more options added to a future offering portfolio
