Or it could still be in the works, and they’re only refining it more.

Currently there’s a lot of chatter in the Passholder groups about the new coaster. It’ll be interesting to see how the park dynamics change with the new coaster.

Halloween Horror Nights. It’s an iconic Halloween event.

I haven’t seen this mentioned yet but KI did a wonderful job with retracking Racer and Beast this past offseason. On The Racer, the retracked the red side going from the split to the beginning of the final set of airtime hills. On The Beast, the retracked from the valley to the brake run.

I’ve seen KI enforce the mask policy. Today at The Racer, a guest was prevented from boarding because he had put on an ineffective mask. The area pulled him aside and basically told him to put on a mask or else. The area was amazingly professional and prompt, and should be praised for dealing with the situation with grace. Employees patrol the lines and if two people are close to each other, they ask if they’re members of the same party. If not, the staff member forces them to social distance. They are doing far more than what some members of this site believe.

It’s been great. I feel the park has been enforcing their COVID policies well. When guests try to circumvent the rules, the staff respond in a courteous and professional manner.

So here’s the post I wrote about work being done at WCO: https://coasternation.com/new-markers-appear-at-cedar-point/?doing_wp_cron=1595570487.7171280384063720703125

HHN30 has been cancelled.

There’s already alleged cases related to HW: https://www.tristatehomepage.com/news/local-news/holiday-world-addresses-alleged-positive-covid-19-cases/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=facebook.com

Now that you mention it, I most certainly agree.

Was that impulse in addition to the one SF ordered for SFO or was that it?

That looks amazing!

There’s a small sliver of land where they have the ability to build taller.

I’m just secretly hoping they build a Gerstlauer hyper.

I see. Interesting. I only have heard of Banana Splits. I’m assuming Flinstones were one?

Didn’t they have Banana Splits characters roam around Coney in the late 60s early 70s?

I’ve had those images for some time. I was wondering if there was more information or a backstory behind it.

Furthermore, it seems that this project was very well documented. We have the ride and scene layout, boat design, even concept art of some of the scenes. I was curious if there was more information available to create a rough model of the ride in a modeling program.

Bruce Bushman died in 1972. Taft only worked on one realized park between 1969 and 1972.

It sound like Moby Dick was far from being green lit. It is an interesting concept, nonetheless.

I never said it wasn’t for KI. It was intended for Kings Island, as proposed by Taft’s designers. However the concept was quickly dropped. Taft went into the agreement with the hopes of building their own version of Disneyland at KI with the knowledge Coney executives had from running it. Coney executives went into the agreement hoping to build a relocated Coney Island using Taft licensed properties.

The early concept work done for KI was very interesting. As we all know Coney had been acquired by Taft broadcasting for $6.5 million. It seems that the earliest concepts fell within two separate parties: 1. Taft using their licenses to make their own version of Disneyland, or 2. Coney Island being relocated to Mason. These concepts were from the first party.

I have a few questions about the Moby Dick attraction proposed for Kings Island. There are pieces of concept art for a boat attraction in the spot of land that eventually became the site of Enchanted Voyage. One of the drawings showing the layout of the proposed attraction names the ride specifically as the “Moby Dick ride” consisting of whale vehicle, sea monster, treasure ship, giant squid, ship fight, and illegible bullet points. The drawing match the building and ride seen in the early Bushman paintings. Is there any more information about this ride?
