CoastersRZ Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Personally, if and when PKI gets a B&M coaster, I sincerly hope that it is not a floorless. I rode Batman Knight Flight up at SFWoA (now Dominator and Guaga Lake) in 2002. I was not that impressed with the ride. Yeah, it was a fun ride, and I would be happy if PKI did get one, but I would rather PKI get an inverted coaster from B&M.
Fo-Shame Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 I predict a new ride for '05, possibly a coaster, but thats just a wild guess. I also predict a new Paint Job for a few big metal objects in the park. Lastly I predict lots of lights, cold air, and holiday fun for everyone in 2005.

HabloRM Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I think in 2006 we'll get something big. I think it's time for a big suprise. Like a B&M. Hopefully.

Hopefully. like most, i am skeptical to see anything happen RIGHT after IJST, i think they are going to update some stuff, but it shouldnt be too much later...
Scooby_Doo Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I hope we see something BIG but lets not get ahead of outselves here lets be happy with what we are getting in 2005.
RingMaster Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 If anyone took that online survey about the ride concepts at all, 2006 will be the year that PKI gets Hollywood-ified as they call it. I can see either another Nick Central expansion, or maybe a combination of that and either the Mission:Impossible Stunt Show or MTV Shockwave. Either 2007 or 2008 will be the year that we get another BIG ride that everyone's predicting. 2005 can probably also see a return of Winterfest. And will we see a new motion simulator next to SpongeBob that's actually GOOD, or is it just going to e SpongeBob again? Personally, I want to see the return of 7th Portal. Who's with me?! (sadly, no one raises their hands.)
Alien Seed Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 I liked 7th Portal, but I'd rather have 007: License to Thrill back. That will never happen though. I just hope we get a new 3-D feature this year. I love Spongebob, but I need something new in AT.
Scooby_Doo Posted January 6, 2005 Posted January 6, 2005 Nope its gonna be Fairlyodd parents in Action FX theater.
dxrunner Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Heres what i learned about PKI and their new attractions from last year... Dont worry bout it, yes it would be nice if ( fill in dream ride/attraction here) but it might not happen, just let it be
Reality15 Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 ^ nice dream. I have those a lot. I've only been to PKI once in my life last year, but I'd like to see something original. What they're doing with IJ:ST is VERY original, and I like it. I may be a Cedar Fair Season Passholder (boo me all you want, but Michigan's Adventure, Cedar Point, and Geauga Lake are all closer to me than PKI), but I have to say that Cedar Fair hasn't been too original with their new attractions with the exception of Hydra and Silver Bullet this year. What do I mean by something original? It's hard to decide. S&S is doing some great work in both their wooden and steel departments lately, and Vekoma's got some great new concepts (gah, I complemented Vekoma... ). B&M hasn't come up with many new things, and Intamin's really focusing on their rockets. I say stick with S&S for the next big thing...
The-Snapper Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I dont want ANY RIDES or COASTERS!!! Im being serious. I want a restraunt and more trash cans and benches a long the midways and to clean the park up.

familyman Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I think some are really dreaming if they think PKI will get a new coaster in 06. Other than a kiddie of family coaster that is.
CoastersRZ Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 In all honesty, I think the park has been making many improvements over the past couple of years when it comes to cleanliness. Also, they have been spending money on more painting of lots of the buildings and rides in the past couple of seasons. But, they still have a long way to improve, to get to the level of Holiday World or Disney.
Smurfs Enchanted Voyage Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Holiday world? they are nothing like Disney yeah holiday world is a fun place to visit but I wouldnt compare them to Disney nor Universal...Paramount Parks I would but not Holiday world
familyman Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Holiday world isn’t even in the same class of amusement park as PKI.
wickedv6 Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 my 2 cents on this subject. Kings Island in 2006... who knows.. we;ll just have to wait and see but if i had a say so in it which I don't. Addams Family ride is defintily my choice. A small coaster, a dark ride.. who cares.. I don't believe KI has ever had a haunted house of sorts.. (There's the Phantom ride sure.. but that was never scary, it was kinda cool though). WHat we need is somethign better than that.. maybe not frightening but at least a bit scarier. something that will make you think twice about even getting on it. Look at what Busch Garden's is doing this year in Williamsburg. That Darkkastle ride is gonna be sweet. KI probaly wouldn't spend that much money on a ride in 2006 though after the Italian Job but we coudl at least get something close. I never read that survey that some people have mentioned.. wish I could.. perhaps if they did something like Blazing Fury from Dollywood. has anyone ever rode that. it's got some neat things going on such as the train and the water splash at the end. Something like this themed to the Addam's Family, a bit longer, a few more thrills.. and maybe a huge drop at the end into a cemetary.. (maybe drop right into a grave) would be neat IMO. a few thoughts on coasters.. I'd like to see one of those new flying coasters like the Borg in Carowinds, or a new suspended coaster not like TOp GUn (Top Gun is nice but over with way to quick and not as exciting as the other Top Gun ride) something more along the lines of T2 in KY Kingdom, just with a much smoother ride. will we get one next year doubtful..but you never know. I'd say we won't see a major new coaster til 2008.. that's just guessing I have no real evidence to support that.. just a theory and opinion. Alos.. maybe if Paramount get's some major bucks from attendance this year and has some great blockbuster movies that top the charts.. maybe we will get a major attraction in 2006.. here's to dreaming. my final thoughts.. the Hyper/Giga.. who cares... ohhh it's so tall.. such a huge drop.. so fast. I could care less.. if i want fast i'll go drive my Camaro.. Vortex and Beast have enough of a drop to thrill. I wouldn't ride it cause it doesn't seem that exciting to me. Give me The Beast anyday, one of my favorite coasters was taken out last year and that's the King Cobra.. the first coaster with a loop I ever rode. fond memories now gone. the last reason we'll probaly never see a hyper or giga coaster at KI.. they don't have the space unless the wind it between other rides. i mean it's possible.. but I think it would be a waste of money IMO..
familyman Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I am with you on the Adams Family ride. A dark themed ride would pack them in for sure.
Scooby_Doo Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I have to agree as well If PKI built an Addams Family attraction that would get the guests in the park..also something for FearFest.

KIBeast Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I am getting a vision. Yes, yes, it is all becoming clear to me now. PKI will definitely get a new ride for next year. There you have it folks!
thejoker8388 Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Yea, PKI has tons of room. They are in no way what so ever even close to out of room. If anything they need to expand out on some land and stop building over old rides.
familyman Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 When was the last year PKI did not get a new ride?
BoddaH1994 Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 I am getting a vision. Yes, yes, it is all becoming clear to me now. PKI will definitely get a new ride for next year. There you have it folks! This is my official prediction: Nick Central will be revamped adding... let's say 3 new attractions, and at the same time they'll retheme HBL to NC. It would be perfect to do it all at once for marketing reasons. I just think that adding one attraction at a time is too "small game" for the park now.
Legend Rider Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Holiday world isn’t even in the same class of amusement park as PKI. [gasp] you didnt just, no, no you didnt! I really dont think he went there! oh he did, he is dissing my homepark, the park i have visited since i was really small. I have gone every year since the unveiling of Splashin Safari in 1993, and a few times before that, i went. never once did i ride Firecracker, but i would love to ride a pinfari zyklon! dude, look at the quality of the park, has any paramount park ever won the Applause Award? ha ha ha, Holiday World has!!! [/2 cents]
Scooby_Doo Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I agree with BoddaH1994 I can see HBL being taken out and the older babyish rides in the back of HBL being taken out and being replaced with 3 new NICK rides.
Jasper Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I hope they build agood new ride but not a totally crappy one.
