westcoaster Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 ferris wheel would rock!!! and whats time warp??? Would'nt ferris wheel be cool in Octoberfest??
Tuskin Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 This is Time Warp from Geauga Lake: Time Warp Here is a better picture of Time Warp:
Aves Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 ^ Ehhh, don't we already have enough giant, spinning, inverting, thingies! A ferris wheel would do SO mutch better in Coney Mall!
Tuskin Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 We do but I doubt we will get a ferris wheel, but then again maybe will. However, if you look at hte rides that are at geuga lake to still go somewhere this is probably one of the better flat rides they have. So maybe we will get something totally new, but I doubt it.
Jasper Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I want to see an S&S Screaming Swing like Skyhawk at Cedar Point. Man i loved that ride soo much.
CoastersRZ Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Although, keep in mind that a Ferris Wheel is NOT a high capacity ride. Similar to the Monster (as well as the Rock O Plane at Coney) only load a limited amount of cars at any given time.
The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 If the bottom part of the ride loading area is constructed like at Great Adventure or Kentucky Kingdom, a number of the cars can be unloaded and then loaded simultaneously. This saves a great deal of time.
Aves Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I can deal with low capacity, if it's for a good cause!
Tuskin Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Personally if they get a ferris wheel I think one of the better place it would fit in is around the oktoberfest area or near it. Seeing as that place is land locked right now I just dont see a ferris wheel coming in, maybe in the future but not right now.
CoastersRZ Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Yes.I know Cedar Point`s can load multiple cars at a time as well (technically, we can load two cars at a time on the Rock O Plane at Coney, but I don`t like to do that, as it is a rather large step up to the cars). But it still, like the Monster, requires several long stops when each set of cars are loaded, as opposed to most flats where all the cars/seats are loaded at the same time.
WHODEY2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 If KI got the ferris wheel from GL, I would be as as excited as this kid, when he sees the remote control car! HAHAHAHA!

Gordon Bombay Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I would love to see the ferris wheel from GL at KI. Does anyone remember the hot air baloon themed Ferris Wheel that Forest Fair Mall (now known as Cincinnati MIlls)? I wonder where that went as well as their carousel. As for time warp, just scrap it. Id rather just get kicked in the stomach for 2 minutes.
Tuskin Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 As for time warp, just scrap it. Id rather just get kicked in the stomach for 2 minutes. I presume you have ridden it before ... was it not that exciting of a ride? Ive never rode it
Gordon Bombay Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Yeah, i rode it at Geauga Lake in 2005 when Boddah, Dane, Zosobeast, and I went. The ride is a neat idea but I found it to be pretty painful. You pull down the safety restaint onto your lap and it locks into place as well as some strange shoulder restaints come down and press onto your shoudlers. Once you've locked those in place, the begins, but before you go spinning the restraints move down just a little bit more automatically, much like Delirium and Tomb Raider except the ones on Time Warp are really painful and not very accomidating to male anatomy.
Cory Butcher Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I think that I would like to see a ride themed to nothing but snakes! (Inside joke with a member that posted above me) Snakes hanging from rafters, a vehicle shaped like a snake...everything snakes!
Gordon Bombay Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I really wish Snakes On A Plane would be turned into a themed ride. Oh, if only Iwerks would make a 4d movie for their theatres themed to that movie! I absolutely hate snakes, but that movie is hands down a great movie. Gotta love Samuel L. Jackson. No, im not kidding.
Cory Butcher Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 YES! You especially have to of loved his performance in Hornets on the Eiffel Tower! There are mutha ****in' bees on this mutha ****in' Tower...well wait actually that one hasn't been made yet, but the ride has! HAHA
KIBeast Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I thought Time Warp was ok. I just kept hearing that song from Rocky Horror Picture Show in my head.
Aves Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Ferris Wheel. Ferris Wheel. Ferris Wheel. Didn't KI used to have a Ferris Wheel where IJST is now?
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 ^ Antiques was where IJST is now. The ferris wheel was right next to Festhaus, where Age & Weight is now.
flightoffear1996 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Im just posting this because I am board and I know chances are it wont happen but what about a park inside a park. Like you have your main seasonal park but then on top of that you could have a indoor park with some dark rides, gaint arcades,and maybe even an indoor coaster and theat could be open all year around.

Like you have your main seasonal park but then on top of that you could have a indoor park with some dark rides, gaint arcades,and maybe even an indoor coaster and theat could be open all year around. That sounds very similar to DisneyQuest. Which is soon to be no more, yet I thought it was a fantastic attraction at Downtown Disney. I would also like to see the ferris wheel at GL come to KI. Even at a low capacity, a ferris wheel is one of those rides that you expect to see at every park. Capacity should not even be an issue. Only because how often have you seen a ferris wheel with more than a 15 minute wait? It would be a great addition to the family rides at the park.
Cory Butcher Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 But see the problem that DisneQwest encountered, was people like myself not willing to pay the money to enjoy it or the time, when there was other things in Downtown Disney that we wanted to do, and when we wanted to spend time in the actual parks. It really suffered from being to close to a Disney park, not neccesarily because it wouldnt work.
Shaggy Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 KI is in desperate need of flats IMO. However the rides being removed from GL do leave a lot to be desired and are unsuitable for KI. The Time Warp, as others mentioned, was a pretty painful ride. The idea is good. But if you think TR is bad, then I cannot begin to tell you the agony felt being thrust forward, outward and upside down for a seemingly endless cycle in excruciatingly uncomfortable restraints. Their single-armed Flying Carpet (El Dorado) was mediocre at best. Very slow with little to no "tummy tickling." It was also a portable ride, trailor mounted I believe. Haybailer was fun, but it's pretty antiquated and limited in it's "thrill factor." It's simply an enclosed Flying Bobs, and if memory serves me, Coney Island has one. The Enterprise had been removed prior to this past season, correct? That leads me to assume that it had mechanical issues that deemed it unusable. Doubt we'll see that. GL also had a Matterhorn ride, but it dissapeared prior to last season too, didn't it? The Texas Tornado (Top Spin) is headed to Great America... correction... CALIFORNIA'S Great America. Plus KI already has one. The Americana Ferris Wheel is something I'd like to see it at KI, I think it's a flat they could use. However, it's a Chance Wheel and with the new restrictions I, as a single, would not be permitted to ride. That leaves Thriller Bees (eh), the Yo-Yo (eh), Scrambler (have one), Pirate Ship (Have one), Octopus (They have a Monster) and Pirate Bounty Ride (They have a flying version in Nick Central.) Isn't that about it in the flat dept? Personally I'd love to see KI get a package of new flats. A Breakdance, a Tilt-O-Whirl, a traditional Flying Carpet, a whip, spinning teacups etc etc etc. ...none of which GL had.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Disney had Club Disneys in other cities. I frequent a Disney site also, and a question was raised a couple of months ago about the one in Phoenix. http://www.allears.net/aa/aa080607.htm#ques6
Outdoor Man Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 i agree with shaggy... i could pass on any of the flats that GL had to offer. About the only one that has any allure would be the Ferris Wheel- which I'm not so sure that I think "fits" but would be a nice touch to the KI skyline.
The Interpreter Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Don't forget, they have Traver rocket ships in storage. Or at least, they DID.
