CorkscrewMcPuke Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Freestyle from Cavallino Matto in Italy should move to Kings Island. Naturally there would be an obvious name change. :^) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueFoxPaws Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Swarm from Thorpe Park. Keep the theming and put it in Area 72! I’m a big fan of B&M Wing coasters and I just love the theming on this one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally there would be an obvious name change. :^) I miss the King Cobra probably more than any former ride in the park, so much so that I've looked into incorporating a quick trip to this park in Italy into a larger vacation, just to ride the Cobra clone.

Shawn Meyer Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I know Cedar Fair doesn't clone their rides like Paramount did and Six Flags does today, but I would love it If Kings Island built a similar Floorless model similar to Dominator at Kings Dominion. As I've said in another thread, I would love it if the route was slightly different from Dominator. I would imagine the drop would be like how Vortex used to be after the first hill, then it could make a right turn all the way around, then do a curving up hill that would turn left and then go into two loops similar to how Vortex was layed out. I know Kings Island never had a Floorless, but hey the route I propose could pay tribute to Vortex in a way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I wouldn't mind a clone if it's unique. For example I wouldn't mind a Premier Sky Rocket II as they're kinda like the Vekoma Boomerangs of today- albeit way better. Just heavily theme it and I'll endorse it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm surprised the chain doesn't buy some flats in bulk like SF does. I don't think anyone would be that upset if for example, both us and Carowinds both got a Screamin' Swing in the same year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivertown Rider Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Other than the WindSeekers and the Larson Flyers (for the parks that didn't already have Flyers), I can't think of a bulk chain purchase recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I think the current business plan is diversification. Not all parks have the same things to make other parks worth visiting. I feel like having a Six Flags platinum pass would get old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically I think a very small percentage. More than likely its small. But even still, that small percentage still encounters the same rides when they visit each park- Batman clones, superman clones, joker clones, giant frisbees, boomerangs, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I wouldn't mind having Flash: Vertical Velocity moved to Kings Island. The zero g roll is something unique and the ride itself seems like it wouldn't be too complicated to remove and rebuild. I am sure there are plenty of spots it could fit in at Kings Island. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn’t do anything. Raven on the other hand kicks ass. However both of those manufacturers no longer exist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 If we could move a ride within the park, I would choose to move Congo Falls closer to the other water rides. This would involve demolition of the Tomb raider building. I'm not sure if they want to do that just yet or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is well paced. There are no back-to-back inversions except the 2 in the cobra roll (which is required for a cobra roll). There is a element between every inversion other than that. The ride however has gotten super vibrate-y over the last couple of years. KD needs to do a refurbishment on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
