Cory Butcher Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 As far as the parks current infrastructure in that part of the park goes, that is about all that could fit in X-base! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 ...so would lower attendance. Which, by all accounts, is the case. Let's talk worst case scenario: Kings Island is down 5%. That would mean that there are five less people per hundred. I really doubt that would significantly impact the line at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 But, if you assume that one a busy day there were typically 35,000 in the park. But since attendance is down 5% that is 1,500 less people in the park. Not a insignificant number. That could be a couple minutes more wait in some of the ride lines. Not to mention all the lost revenue from the in park spending of those 1,500 people. That being said, this scenario is purely hypothetical. But on a similar line of thought. One has to wonder how long attendance can keep dropping while per caps continues to increase. At some point that will become less profitable than having more people come through the gates.

Cory Butcher Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Its like that old western line that we all know of, "Cut 'em off at the pass". i.e. figure out where you are gonna make your stand and put everything you have into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketingExpress Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 I am still VERY envious of Volcano at KD. Can you imagine looking down Coney Mall and in the distance between the two Racer/recaR turn arounds you see a giant Volcano with everything the KD ride has, fire & fog and lots heavy theming. One h*ll of a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBEASTunchained Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I would probably move Thunderhead from Dollywood to Kings Island, But another thing that would be cool is X2 from Magic Mountain, Placed in X-Base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I love Bizarro at SFNE but it will be too similar to Diamondback to many people. Since the topic is only the US, I will vote for Skyrush at Hershey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (If someone wants a B and M hypercoaster, can we at least have Nitro or Goliath???) Dinosaur at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. Look at Terpy and Dane so far ahead of their time! B&M Hypers and Dinosaurs in 2007! That being said, I don't like the idea of removing rides from their current parks, unless that park is closing it's gates (Geauga Lake), so I would say to leave everything as is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voicetek Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I know most people would probably move an extreme coaster to KI, but I'd actually like something a little different. I'd actually move Splash Mountain from the Magic Kingdom in Disney World to KI. Not exactly sure where I'd put it, lol, but I think it's such a classic and unique ride. I'd love to have something like that here at KI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Mission: Space from Epcot. Either that or the new Star Tours. I rode those two more times than any other ride during my time in the Orlando area. Thoroughly enjoyed both of them (although I'm slightly biased on the latter simply because I'm a huge Star Wars fan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Maverick to X-base! But with new theming. Honestly though I just want a clone of it. I want the one to stay at CP. Also, I think Gatekeeper would look good where SoB is, but push it closer to Delirium in that unused space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Theres a coaster up in Canada called SkyRider that might fit in we'll at Kings Island....Oh, Wait, maybe Kings Island had a coaster similar to that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have few that I would want and any one these would suit me fine. Maverick in river town or where SoB will no longer exist, wicked twister is X-base, Skyhawk in X-base or incredible Hulk where SOB is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could, but we already have a snake named ride. But then again, KI already had a beast named ride then they made a sequel. I often thought of having a SOD but since the mess with SOB, I don't think they want to name a ride after another. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip2 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Intimidator 305 from Kings Dominion to Xbase area with coaster layout being behind Firehawk and station to be built next to Firehawk where existing maintenance shed/ barn is now located.

HTCO Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Maverick to Action Zone. With a bit of re-theming to fit a car chase/ action movie with close calls and all that jazz. (A better BLSC) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that American Eagle would be nice in the spot of Racer or another roller coaster we could replace The Racer with is Gemini at Cedar Point.......I still don't really like the idea of etting rid of The Racer though.....Like Original said, It is an iconic roller coaster that is known worldwide and plays a major part in roller coaster history.
