Amen! Here here! Huzzah!What kind of image do you want to portray? What should kids be seeing? If someone says Haunt is an adult event I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell him. That was pure marketing, and questionable marketing at that. Hey let's see how seedy crowds we can get. *Steps off soapbox.

Yes, but often times a denial doesn't mean jack.

New for 2016 at Kings Dominion: Delirium
KI Guy replied to Delirium13's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Per the seat count this is not a Huss. It's probably a Zamperla, good choice, I'd say. -
For far too long, regular sized flats were forgotten at former Paramount and CF parks. Ownership dismissed flats and went towards more expensive and more issues prone "giant flats. It's great to see manufacturers so pumping out new rides. It's awesome that we'll probably see an influx of newer flats like this, as well as the classics that they are currently hunting at the parks. Mr. Ouimet gets it, he really does.

Good thing they went with Mondial!

The Gerstlauer Polyp is an excellent flat. It is one of the most fun ones I've been on. I rode one at Freestyle Music Park. Until now, I thought is was a Huss Rodeo, (Breakdance). At least there is hope we could get one now given that it isn't a Huss. Edit: I was wrong that I was wrong; it was a Huss Rodeo afterall.

Tropical Plunge - NEW for 2016!
KI Guy replied to Italian Job 2005's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Have they said where this will be located? My guess would be the large grassy area near the entrance formed when they rerouted the road outside the gate. -
Wait. Why would PTC have a say in this?Under Ohio law, ride manufacturers' safety suggestions must be abided by. Did PTC suggest that they run forward? Well they certainly didn't turn around recaR for nostalgia. I believe this has been discussed or at least heavily hinted at on this site. Personally, I believe that PTC changed their minds on backwards trains back in 2007(yr?).

Racer is not going anywhere and recaR is not coming back unless PTC has changed their minds, (or there are new non-PTC trains which I HIGHLY doubt).

So what woodie at Kings Island would you want to get an RMC treatment?
KI Guy replied to Oldschool75's topic in KI Polls
Also the skid breaks were pretty ineffective when wet so those rides in particular were almost legendary from the accounts I've read. I really wonder if Millennium Flyer trains could eliminate the brakes all together. I believe they are heavier if I remember, but they don't shuffle through turns like those big 3 bench PTCs. -

And unless you were John Allen you wouldn't know the wiser. -
Hopefully this is in the plans as we speak.

It seemed a little out of left field anyway. -
Cedar Point 2016 Talk
KI Guy replied to Bansheeback's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Huh? What? -
I've always thought those in horribly bad taste. Loss of human life should never become a source of humor or entertainment. I've always wondered how this happens. If I ever jumped a security fence, **AND I NEVER, EVER WOULD,** I would at least make sure a train wasn't coming when I walked under the track.

I find CP's shortage of wood coasters given the park's age and sheer number of coasters amazing.
