MarketingExpress Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 If you could take one ride from any park in the country and place it at Kings Island, what ride would you pick, and where would you place it? As much as I love Millennium Force, I think that if you took it from its current setting next to the bay something would be missing from the ride. I don’t know what it is, just something about going up the lift and being able to look out over bay adds to the experience. I personally would like to see Volcano from Kings Dominion at KI. This would only work if CF actually took care of the theming on this ride. I could see them taking out half of Action Theatre’s queue and using the current entrance as an entrance to a new area, maybe a Jungle themed area? This ride would fit perfectly in that type of area and they would be able to keep the trees like they have in Rivertown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racerrider Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I agree something would be missing from millenium and i agree Cedar Fair knows nothing about theming but what i think KI needs is the twister coaster called dominator from Geauga Lake or something new in the water park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never rode it since I've never been to KD but I have always wanted to. It looks really awesome. But where would this new area go? Like this area?

DeLorean Rider Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Man this is a difficult question, As with Millennium Force, my favorite steel coaster is Phantoms Revenge but without the ravine it is built into, I believe it would loose much of it's pazazz. In addition Thunderhead on the side of the mountain and the Voyage out in the woods would not be the same in a different location. This will require some thinking.

They would have to decide on if they are going to wind around the backwards racer (or recar) or build through the structure like they did for FOF and the entrance to AT. Another problem is that the land is on a slight grade toward the top of your picture, it's not severely sloped, but manageable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 That would look very interesting in the skyline of coney mall. Especially if they continued the usage of the fire out the top of the mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another problem is that the land is on a slight grade toward the top of your picture, it's not severely sloped, but manageable I think they could tear out the building for the Laser Tag and then build the entrance to the new area underneath The Racer right there where the two sides diverge. I think this sounds like a great idea if they theme up the new area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Although I adore Volcano: The Blast Coaster, given the rules set out by the original poster, this one is easy for me. Out goes Tomb Raider: The Ride. For giggles, we will send it to the Imagineers and they can figure out what to do with it! In comes Tower of Terror from California Adventure.

Pagoda Gift Shop Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 The Flying Eagles from Carowinds. It can be placed in the empty grass area where it used to live before they put nothing there instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I'd put in Maverick because it is the best ride in the world and the only roller coaster that comes close to being as good as Maverick is SOB. I would want it in Rivertown behind WWC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor66 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I also want Maverick, but it should be build over the lake in Rivertown as it is in Cedar Point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 There is another lake in Rivertown... the one by WWC. ANd that is where i was thinking of putting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor66 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Wow, I forgot about that lake. That would be a better spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 That lake is the resivour for white water canyon. That lake is not very big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor66 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 The entire ride doesn't need to be over the lake. Just the turn after the launch or maybe the horseshoe roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchce Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Wow, I forgot about that lake. That would be a better spot. The only way it would fit there is if they took out the picnic area because otherwise there's not really any room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiderOfRides Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I'd want Apollo's Chariot or Expedition Everest... On second thought, Apollo's Chariot. Cedar Fair would ruin Everest's theming. Not sure where I'd want it to go though, I don't know much about the area, and I don't know where it would fit inside the already developed part of the park.

tubaman Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Wow, I forgot about that lake. That would be a better spot. The only way it would fit there is if they took out the picnic area because otherwise there's not really any room. You know, I just thought of something... How about this. A coaster that has a tunnel, entering the lake by WWC, and then exiting out of the Swan Lake, after going underground that bit of land there. Technological nightmare, maybe. Fun, extremely.

Hendrick Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I haven't been able to ride as many coasters as I would. But from POV's, and reviews... I'd go for the Voyage at Holiday World. Second would be El Toro from Six Flags Great Adventure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txdrummer Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Alpengiest from BGE since KD is lacking a good B&M Inverted coaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welchce Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Well technically KD is lacking a good B&M inverted coaster since Volcano (their only inverted) is Intamin. I have still yet to decided which ride I would want... actually I think I just figured it out. I'm pretty sure I've posted this before but I would like to see KI get Stitch's Great Escape from the Magic Kingdom and change it back to ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter and, of course, put it back in X-Base.

shadow2k3 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I agree with the previous poster -- forget coasters, I want the Flying Eagles back! Agreed. How about we rob KBF of Xcelerator? I'm feeling devious. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
