KI Should Get This Ride!

Featured Replies

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.

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!

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 :)

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....

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...

^ 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

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.

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, :angry:

something like bohemeth at KI would b awesome! it would b a great edition to our not so great collection

We do. It's called Diamondback, Matt :)

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

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.

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

Why would you want another hyper coaster?

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.

What is with everyone wanting KI to get an Intiman.

Who said everyone wants KI to get one? I bet the good folk at B and M don't feel that way, nor at Vekoma, etc. Not to mention a goodly number of people here....

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. B&M's are reliable, safe, smooth, have high capacity, and are just plain fun.

Please?

Agreed!

Yes, I wish that we had a Sky Ride, too.

Last time I checked... B&M didn't make sky rides?
