Guest rcfreak339 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 No way Kings Island should get this ride, the capacity will be horrid. Neither does Cedar Point, because with the mass of crowds that park gets expect a 6 hour wait for that ride on average summer weekdays. People said Firehawk was bad.

Creed Bratton Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I would like to see something like Behemoth at canada's wonderland for king's island. It is awesome. Here are some pics: That's the layout and the aerial rendering... and the stats... May of 2008 Track Length:Approximately 5,318 ft 1620.9 mLift Height:Approximately 230 ft 70 mAngle of Descent:85 degrees Ride Time:Approximately 3 minutes, 10 secondsSpeed of First Drop:Approximately 77 miles/hour 125km/hour Ride Capacity:Approximately 1,545 guests/hour Three 32-passenger trains Eight cars, with four seats per car, per train Prototype seating Fiberglass and steel coaches with lapbar restraints and interlocking seat belts Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M) Monthey, Switzerland Approximately $26 millionand a link to the site: http://behemoth.canadaswonderland.com -Firehawk07 obviously now we have something very similar---Diamondback....but Behemoth is an awesome ride! I encourage everyone to head up to Toronto and ride it! Now that i think about it, i think canada's wonderland and six flags fiesta texas have the star shaped shishkamabober in the picture on page 6 Yes they do I rode the one at Canada's Wonderland this past year. While it is a fun ride it does take long to load it. The park also has a stand up version of Ski-Lab. I do a trip report later on with pictures. This is one of the 3 flats I rode at Canada's Wonderland....I really liked it. I'm not one for these types of flats but it was fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I wish they would spell "Nightmare" correctly. The name of the ride gives me night mares... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightofFear123 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Boo I would not want that ride at KI... I'm sure it's fun, but that seems like a ride that would get very boring after riding it once... Tomb Raider what? haha that made me laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catzdrummer09 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I wish they would spell "Nightmare" correctly. The name of the ride gives me night mares... Dude...it is. So, Nightmare isn't spelled EXACTLY how you have it, AND you just put a space in it the second time, AND you think RIVERTOWN has a jungle theme.... HMMM....

HTCO Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I like to think loudly too! HMMMM..... I think we should get Chaos, and put it in the box. It's better than a slow ferris wheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catzdrummer09 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 ^ I still wish they would theme it to a tornado and give it another ride program that mingles with theming like that of TR:TR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLC Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 That type of ride looks fun to me, but I agree - there's not enough capacity. Now, if the car had a lot more seats, and maybe if the track was a bit longer, then it would probably be more of a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtl2013 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 i dont no.i think that would get really boring really fast. plus, the capacity is so low that it would take forever to get people through, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan1980 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 something like bohemeth at KI would b awesome! it would b a great edition to our not so great collection I'm not your english teacher, but please try and type in a fashion that is somewhat readable when you post. For example: Something like Behemoth at KI would be awesome! It would be a great addition to our not so great collection. Then again, something that makes sense in July 2009 would also be helpful when you post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 People need to stop saying Kings Island needs something like Behemoth, because they already do. It's called Diamondback Edit: Sorry, HTCO said basically the same thing. I missed it while reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Everyone of you are thinking wrong. Just because an amusement park comes out with a new coaster, it doesn't have to be bigger or badder. I would just consider maybe another hypercoaster or maybe bring back something like King Cobra (the stand up coaster). It doesn't HAVE to be something big. I don't even really think an "adult" Avatar ride would be great at all. I would just like the fact that KI would have more roller coasters! They could even make a new wooden coaster if they wanted too. I'm hoping for a new section maybe 5 years from now, with several flat rides and a stand up coaster.

Why does everyone want a Stand up coaster? I think they are nott thrilling. Standing up doesn't really change it's experience. Now what would be cool would be a Wood coaster like Invertigo, where it brings you up then drops you. I would be SWEET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZukoGirl Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I was looking at RCT3 rollercoasters and rides. I noticed they had alot of different kinds, styles and sizes. I looked them up and noticed they had some of them over seas. What if KI got something totally different than anything we're used to.

Beast1979 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 One Intamin would be enough for me. If Kings Island were to invest in a few more B&M's, I would be jumping for joy.
