Something is Surfacing 9-19-2024
KIghostguy replied to SonofBaconator's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Out of all the parks in the chain now, and all the years to actually build it…it is opening in 2025 at Cedar Point. There are other parks in the system that also have flat, empty plots of land. It is honestly ridiculous to think this has nothing at all to do with Top Thrill 2. -
The 2024 Golden Ticket Awards were tonight, and it's always fun to discuss the winners and rankings. The full list can be viewed here: https://amusementtoday.com/issues/2024/gta2024/assets/downloads/AT-GTA-2024i.pdf If you are curious where Kings Island placed this year... #20 steel coaster (Diamondback) #3 and #5 wooden coasters (The Beast and Mystic Timbers, respectively) #5 best guest experience #3 best kid's area

RiverRacers coming to Soak City in 2025
KIghostguy replied to JubJester's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Today was the last day of operation for Lookout Lagoon, which is being replaced by Splash River Junction. It opened in 1997 under the name Buccaneer Island. The name was changed in 2004 to Kangaroo Lagoon, and then to Lookout Lagoon in 2012. Probably the most notable thing about it is that it was featured in a couple shots of the Ghost Hunters episode that was filmed in November 2011. I took these photos a few weeks ago, on August 5. It obviously wasn't the flashiest or biggest thing in the waterpark, but I'm surprised the park didn't put out any notices or anything about it closing today. -
I won’t have any copies with me, but if you bring your own, I will be happy to sign it!

For any coaster club members...tomorrow morning (Thursday) at 10:30 is The Beast behind-the-scenes tour! Hope to see some of you there.

RiverRacers coming to Soak City in 2025
KIghostguy replied to JubJester's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
As much as I love ProSlide attractions, Cedar Fair doesn’t work with them. They ripped out two slides at the Carowinds waterpark a few years ago just because they were ProSlide (supposedly). I guess CF sees them as the waterpark equivalent to Intamin . -
Nice thread idea and conversation starter! Kings Dominion has done a much better job of retaining their original identities and lands than Kings Island. The park still feels like a Taft Broadcasting park in a lot of ways, which is a very good thing. Best of all, they still play the appropriately-themed music in each land! It continues to baffle me why Kings Island does not...

Peanuts Dark Ride To Replace Boo Blasters?
KIghostguy replied to kingsislandfan1972's topic in Kings Island
Terrible idea. At least with Boo Blasters, you aren’t shooting at things on a screen. -
Sounds like fun, and a nice perk for coaster club members.

It is definitely possible to put a coaster into that sized plot of land. Dorney Park was able to squeeze an entire B&M dive coaster into where their Invertigo was.

Congratulations on 100 episodes. Looking forward to 100 more! -
Permits for A Soak City Addition and Improvements coming in 2025
KIghostguy replied to DiamondbackFan's topic in Kings Island
So excited for the water coaster. It is exactly what the waterpark needs attractions-wise! -
Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
KIghostguy replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Probably. Cedar Fair already does with their XDS team (eXperience Design and creative Studio). Nowhere near as big as WDI, but it exists, and it has grown already in the past couple of years.
