lol he doesn't even want to go to Cedar Point for 2 days Plus he can only go Saturday's Cedar Point? Isn't this KI Central?

I think they were $65 for Fast Lane

your not the only one, i personally don't think queues are bad to stand in, Fun TV, and theme helps so much!

Why would they laugh at that suggestion? Whips are great...

Maybe give Diamondback, Vortex, and Firehawk a little love!

I was waiting for someone to post this, truly sad, I hope Apex continues to grow

This is sad and good at the same time, sad because Greg was GM for so long, i'm going to miss him! Good for him being promoted, he's done a great job at Kings Island and he sure will be missed by me, its so hard to say goodbye...

that's good, happy that its business as usual!

I really hope they resolve this quickly like everyone else, I understand that they want higher pay but... how much exactly CAN you make when they are not earning profit during the off season? Anyway hope their pay goes up but at the same time, what can they earn if the park isn't earning money during the off season?

I voted for a Triotech dark ride and it will have coaster elements to be counted as our 17th coaster, Matt Ouimet has said he wants to put the technology everywhere and he is working on story lines, and how to pump through capacity so a park like Kings Island or Cedar Point can get it https://youtu.be/dv94dijKhyA?t=260 Then if i had to pick an addition i would go Intamin Blitz, Maverick is currently my #1, love it! Fury is great but i personally prefer Maverick, i would like to have some unique elements that KI has never had, some of those new inversions look great on other rides across other countries. The only issue is i'm not exactly sure on where it would go, I would have said Rivertown but looks like that plot of land is taken now

Has Kieran Burke learned how to take down rides properly yet? (sorry i enjoy poking fun at this situation)

Very interesting for news for Darien Lake... any locals or anyone who has been on here have thoughts? I've never been so i can't say anything about it..

I recall seeing a recent post on another site with a picture of the STR site being ripped up, so that is a somewhat logical possibility, as any other possible place would be a really tight fit. I wouldn't imagine that it is all that expensive to install it, so maybe it would be a temporary install until they decide to put something more permanent on that site?I also have heard speculation that it could go to the new Sports Park. My wife and I rode the version at SFSTL some 20 odd years ago but not since. I did notice buried on their website a few years ago they had an all season pass pass offer for it so for about $60 you could ride it one time each visit to the park. I don't think my boys are ready for it yet, but if they were and CF offered something similar I would really consider it. I have seen a recent post as well where the STR site is being ripped up. All of the rumors I've heard from various sources have been that RipCord would be relocated there. They are keeping it on Point...from what I understand it won't be going to Sports Force. Honestly Ripcord at Sports Force Park would make sense... I really hope they don't decide to put it on top of the remains of Shoot The Rapids, that space would be great for a Mack Watercoaster or GCI Woodie

Im hyped about this knowing ill be able to go to Volcano Bay in a few years!

I would assume Mean Streak's new name would be something related to Frontier Town

if i had to guess, a block is going to be outside the shed and then inside the shed, but thats just my guessing

The Racer doesn't need to be RMC'd there is without a question of it needing TLC tho. It would be nice to see a repaint and retrack but i wouldn't go full out RMC

I really hope the ride will not get removed, thinking about how much money the park spent on this without getting any of it back to build a replacement ride, also this thing looked like one of the sickest RMCs ever created, the idea to me is very uneasy and stupid considering how much tourism tax this would be bringing in for that area... Yay my 700th post on KIC!

I got kind of sad when i miss-read the article a few times thinking Ouimet was leaving Cedar Fair, I am very thankful he is not, i really like Ouimet, Glad to see Richard Zimmerman is being promoted!

Since when was Racer rough? I just can't see RMC Racer ever considering Greg & Don have strong feelings for the ride...

Congrats Malem as everyone said!

for anyone asking like i was earlier who is manufacturing the rides, I emailed Pete and asked, here is the response i got:

wow this really sucks for Dreamworld, prayers for the families effected and hopefully the park makes the right move and just remove the ride after this...

Mystic Timbers is looking insane so far! especially with the amount of progress this thing has seen already! Opening day hype! (I really don't want this season to end)

With Cedar Fair starting to use RMC, i really REALLY hope they don't cut back on wooden coaster maintenance and just topper track everything like Six Flags does instead of retracking, especially at Kings Dominion since they have alot of wooden coaster
