Move One Ride from Anywhere in the Country to KI

[BB1]

Since we said anywhere, and nothing about realistic ideas, I pick Millennium Force!

BB7, thinking on the bright side.

BB1 would rather get Maverick than a Millennium Force, or as a YoungStud would say "Millennium Forceless".

BB1, thinking out of the box.

• Gatekeeper (Cedar Point) with Invertigo and/or Congo Falls
• Top Thrill Dragster (Cedar Point) with Backlot Stunt Coaster
• Guardian (Canada's Wonderland) with The Crypt
• Justice League : Alien Invasion 3D with Boo Blasters on Boo Hill

[Banshee Back VII]

I personally think that TTD packs an adrenaline rush, but I just can't consider it a coaster! 17 seconds just isn't enough "coastering" for a ride.

3 year thread bump

I'd take Valravn from Cedar Point. I've always had a soft spot for Dive coasters ever since I rode Sheikra.

I've been on Canada's Wonderland's website recently and I have to say I'm pretty jealous of their flat ride line up.

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.

I would take fury 325

I'd agree with you on that. I love the flats that I've been on at Canada's Wonderland. 

Sledge Hammer is completely amazing! It's had it's operational issues but it's a lot of fun!

[rhyano]

I'll take a possibility of three since I can't decide which I would want more: Maverick, Fury 325, or Cobra's Curse (Since these rides would fit in very well with KI's current line up)

[D-Back Fan]

I also am on the bandwagon for KI getting a flat ride package like CW.  I remember thinking that when I was there last...and that was June 1999!  KI has always had a serious hang-up with getting good quality flats, (except for the one shining incident when they put in Delirium). 

I will stand by my comments from a few years ago and say that they should've gotten an Aquatrax/Maverick-style coaster.  BUT, I also like Rhyano's idea of Cobra's Curse...I would just pull Backlot SC out of there and drop CC in it's place.

[SonofBaconator]

I've always been a sucker for family rides like spinning coasters or coasters similar to Pony Express at Knott's. Heck I wouldn't mind if the park got a S&S 4D free-spin but I know many people would disagree with me.

[purdude86]

Think Pony Express could be cool. I deally if it was possible think it'd be great to jsut gut BLSC and put on Pony Express type trains with horses and landsape the area. Think it woudl make a fun ride and be different, plus with the horses/steeplechase theme and look it would fit in with both Rivertown adn Coney Mall well since it kind of sits on the border. Plus still give a good family level intermediate ride.

[D-Back Fan]

I could see extending Rivertown out to BLSC...it's easily the best themed and most popular section of the park already. Adding MT this season, and something like Pony Express would just make it better imo.

[D-Back Fan]

If not Pony Express, use some land between MT & The Crypt building to install a ride like River Battle @ DW.  Maybe trick it out a little bit more with a cave section and an animatronic character, or have a small log flume lift and drop, (maybe 10 - 12' high).  A fun family ride when it gets hot out.

X2 from Magic Mountain and move it into X-Base

[gforce1994]

Fury from Carowinds. Your welcome.

How many GP would think X2 and FH are the same ride?

Well a repaint would be in order but the GP would still compare the two. I honestly wouldn't mind, I just want a 4d coaster to come to KI

[silver2005]

^Would you repaint it to its original colors?  Back when SIX had no sense of color pallet.

[jcgoble3]

Can we take Georgia Scorcher away from SFOG and bring it to KI? It's a decent B&M stand-up that isn't getting the care or operations it deserves. KI would be able to do justice to it.

 

 

[silver2005]

^And paint it in Mantis' old color scheme. 

And/or, knowing CF, a floorless conversion.

Please not a floorless conversion. The Mantis paint job I'll take, though.

[SonofBaconator]

As I've stated before on another thread, I don't have a problem with standups as long as they aren't huge and forceful. Georgia Scorcher has always been a smaller, more decent sized standup. As for color I'd probably go with dark or even electric green and navy blue supports and put it in the center of the park behind the Eiffel Tower.

[Shawn Meyer]

I think I speak for my friends when they say they wish The Bat/Flight Deck/Top Gun was a little closer inland compared to how it's laid out now. Now hear me out, this is for they're sake not mine. I don't mind walking that far to ride it, but I understand where they're coming from with their argument.

[Rivertown Rider]

^ I definitely agree.  If it was where say BLSC is, it would have a much higher ridership.

[Benjamin22]

The Bat has decent ridership, according to the 2014 numbers. To put that In perspective if that would be at Carowinds it would be the 5th most ridden ride or KD’s 2nd most ridden ride.

[SonofBaconator]

Bring Gerogia Scorcher to KI. I've heard its one of the best standups out there and it would be cool for KI to a stand-up in their line-up again.

[Shawn Meyer]

^ I feel like Cedar Fair is trying to get rid of their stand up coasters. The only one they haven't terminated yet is Vortex at Carowinds. Just my opinion though. If they ever wanted to bring a classic roller coaster to Kings Island, I would say rebuild the classic Big Dipper(GCI style). Not sure where they would put it, but that's the only ride I can think of right now.

[SonofBaconator]

@Shawn Meyer oh I know but its just a personal preference of mine to have one just like how I ironically also want a floorless

[Shawn Meyer]

@SonofBaconator you're cool. My ideal roller coaster to take the spot of Vortex would be a Floorless. I don't know if you read my comment on another topic or not, but I mentioned how cool it would be to have a floorless similar to Dominator at Kings Dominion. It's in the topic, could KI get a Floorless topic.

[SonofBaconator]

A weird request but with the loss of Firehawk I'd gladly take X-Flight at Six Flags Great America. Its not overwhelmingly big but still features 5 inversions and some pretty awesome near miss elements.
