I love Universal, but they really dropped the ball with this announcement, Ice was awful but I enjoyed Fire, even if it is one of my least favorite inverted coasters, Potter was the death of this ride, it never really fit in with the area. When it stopped dueling that should have been a sign that things were not working out for that ride, to me Dragon Challenge was a ride I would ride every visit, but the pain with the metal detectors are awful, for those who have never been, here are the steps to ride! 1. Wait 5-10 mins for a locker because the poor design of how many lockers they actually need for the area. 2. After you put your stuff in the one locker available, go through the entrance and shortly after, go through a metal detector to find out you might have loose change! If you have anything in your pocket, sorry, can't ride! If you don't have anything in your pockets well congrats you get to ride! 3. Walk through the insanely long queue. 4. Choose your side 5. Walk right on. Overall, I don't think I will miss it, but if another motion simulator is taking its place, I don't think many of us (including me) would like that.

This will cause many... never mind, not going into it here, but many of you share my same opinions...

Very cool video! Thanks for sharing, Ryan!

There's really no bad food options in Soak City right now!

Great idea for an indoor coaster, just expand the building (though that's expensive I'm sure) though it would be cool to see an indoor Euro Fighter with a higher capacity.

New flats in Coney Mall and or Oktoberfest would be my personal guess, I can also see a dark ride going in the old TR:TR building within the next few years, also as Drummermattk said, I really think they need to step up food service, I think we will see a new restaurant open somewhere throughout the park.

Georgia Cyclone to close permanently July 30

Excited to see what RMC does with this one! -
I've never found WindSeeker's placement a disaster, nowhere in the park really fits other than Coney Mall, also it "ends" that midway with something cool to look at.

Carowinds is an interesting park, but a very solid park, after your top three (Fury, Intimidator, and Afterburn) don't expect much. If you want great food, Carowinds has plenty of it! Harmony Hall is great! Be sure to ride the flyers! They are amazing!

Ride mechanics are not allowed to say why a ride is down, same with operators.

Fast Lane Plus Season Pass
rhyano replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
The actual price of All Season Fast Lane is $387.93 with the exchange rate. (for Canada's Wonderland) -
To be fair, who even uses Facebook reviews.

I'm going to assume the ride operators can't' spoil any information, but if I had to guess, maintenance closed off the rows or something, 12 riders per train is going to be slow but if it's for your own personal safety or maintenance closed the rows for some other reason I wouldn't complain.

I wish B&M had specs on their website of different rides, this is why I like Intamin's new website, for example, if you Google Millennium Force's Capacity (which as of now it's 1,300 an hour according to Google) but in reality, according to Intamin themselves it's 1,650. (https://www.intaminworldwide.com/project/millennium-force/)

The only reason I said that is because the excuse for adding VR is to give a "limited time only" attraction, The Bat isn't the most popular coaster and certainly never has a wait, the only problem with that is having fast enough operations to handle it, which sorry Kings Island, and anyone working in operations, if Cedar Point can't handle it without capacity nightmares then I don't see any other park attempting.

VR on The Bat might work if they do it like Iron Dragon VR.
-
In case the train doesn't stop in time is my guess.

Yikes, that's not good, also the portions of meals on the dining plan has been going down as well. I had decent pizza at Larosa's on Saturday, and decent Skyline on Friday, I think the chain restaurants are fine but quality in park food has gone down.
-
VR is a controversial subject, but VR Coasters has a system that I THINK could work on a few coasters at KI

I'm not sure what the future of Dinos is, that area would be great for an X-Base expansion though!

Congrats!

Access to the stage in between the royal fountain and the tower.
rhyano replied to DubVLegend's topic in Kings Island
You could try timing the Fireworks on top of the Eifel Tower and propose to her right before they start. -
Looks insane! Congrats to the folks at The Gravity Group and Fun Spot!
