He's a nice guy! I've bought stuff from him for Christmas presents.

I'm still missing this show...

Is there any restaurants or shops that you miss at Kings Island that mad you sad when they were removed? For me I do indeed miss the 80s store on International Street as well as the Nickelodeon store on International Street as well. I do miss the Scooby-Doo store that I remember during the Paramount era on International Street as well as the other Hanna-Barbera themed shops. For food I miss the Skyline they had upfront in International Street, I know they still have a Skyline in Coney Mall but I still prefer eating inside the restaurant instead of just a stand. Is there any shops or restaurant that you miss at KI?

I would totally buy that!

Hmm... if a new attraction is coming there, I wonder if KI will do #whatsinsidethebuilding

I'm curious what do you think would have happend instead of changing the "Enchanted Voyage" to the "Smurfs Enchanted Voyage" instead they just added the Smurf characters to the orignal Enchanted Voyage throughout the ride or just a section with them because of the Smurf popularity, do you think it would have worked or do you think it worked great to have the Smurfs with their own attraction? I'm too young to have ridden either rides, so I'm asking for those of you who did ride them if this would have worked!

Many years later...

I wish I could be creative and do that too!

I'm actually surprised that KI still doesn't have any new water rides in the actual park not including Soak City. But then again WWC & CF seems like enough to do the job.

If you keep bumping this thread...

I agree! If they do eventually do sell them, I would definitely buy one! However I can only imagine how much KI would sell them for!

Uh-oh bad news...

I'm just curious if there was some kinds of Merchandise from KI Rides (past or present) that you would like to see more of. For example I would love to get a t-shirt with the Sol Spin logo or even a hat with The Bat logo (past or present). I would even like to see more Phantom Theater merchandise perhaps little toy figures of the Maestro and other Phantom Theater characters. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

Agreed! My wife doesn't ride coasters but I absolutely love them! It'll be my job to start with them at Great Pumpkin Coaster and then later down the years it'll end at Diamondback.

Thank you very much!

My wife and I just found out we are having a baby, (our first baby) I wanted to know what can she do if we decide to go. She doesn't ride any coasters or big rides, but she does the water rides and the small flat rides. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think something like this for WWC would is just what the ride needs! It'll breathe new life into the ride and would tell more of a story!

Would you ever like to see Kings Island add animatronics on White Water Canyon maybe some animatronic cowboys or horses to fit the theming Rivertown or something along those terms? I think it would be a great idea if they went more of a western theme for White Water Canyon but that's just my opinion, but what do all of you think?

Overall I love Mystic Timbers however they really did hype the shed up as this great big surprise reveal. Nowadays I just hope to get the rare tree ending!

When it's 2025 and I'm still missing Vortex!

I agree with some of this especially the part about Halloween Haunt not being as good as it once was. However I do think they are doing a great job with WinterFest, I feel like a lot of effort does go into that. As for the next 10 years what will Kings Island look like? I'm not sure but fingers crossed more new rides and less ride removals. But I guess we'll have to wait and see! Also love your profile picture I'm a big fan of Hey Arnold! And everytime I read one of your posts or comments I'll read it in Grandpa Phils voice!

Coming soon...

Waiting in line for The Beast: Guest to their friend "If you look closely in the woods on the ride... you can see The Beast animatronic!" Although not true that would be cool if they added some kind of animatronic to the ride even if it would only be the paws of The Beast!

I remember the one that was in Coney Mall, usually I'm not a fan of uncharge attractions at amusement parks. There are some laser tags at my local roller skating rinks but it wouldn't fit at Kings Island in 2025 in my personal opinion.

Might as well change it to a digital clock!
