Dalefan Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 What type of new ride should Kings Island get? Quote
stremmefan Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I think KI even though they do have a great variety of rides, needs more rides other than coasters, and for the age 2-5 people. Not all people are coaster riders, and not all are small children. What about the people who don't like coasters?More water rides would be great! Quote
TheKlockster Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 FERRIS WHEEL I think we need a big wheel like Cedar Point has. Badly. Quote
Purplehaze Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 There is a lot of expansion room available at KI for future ride installations. I think over time Ki will get lots of new coasters and flat rides. I think KI even though they do have a great variety of rides, needs more rides other than coasters, and for the age 2-5 people. Not all people are coaster riders, and not all are small children. What about the people who don't like coasters?More water rides would be great! I could not agree any more. You are 100% right they need flat rides and rides to appeal to everyone just not coaster peeps. Quote

CoastersRZ Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Well, a Ferris Wheel is one of those classic amusement park rides. I`ve had the opportunity of working Coney`s Eli Bridge Ferris Wheel for five seasons now. I had more fun running that ride then any other ride at Coney! Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 An NFL-themed Tilt-a-Whirl, with Steelers, Browns, Bengals, Colts helmet-painted cars, & stadium theming... A Ferris Wheel, themed to look like an old mill wheel in Rivertown... A Flying Scooter, painted to look like patriotic eagles, somewhere near the 50's Diner... Quote
dare-to-fly Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 A Ferris Wheel, themed to look like an old mill wheel in Rivertown... This is the best and most unique idea I've heard in a long time. LOVE IT. I'm also among those that want a ferris wheel...but I want the 09 coaster too! Quote

LOVE IT. I'm also among those that want a ferris wheel...but I want the 09 coaster too! Thanks, dtf. I'd also be happy with a new coaster over a Ferris Wheel, but there have been times when more than one attraction has been added to a park in the same year. That rumored activity around Swan Lake...verrry interesting! (Don't know what it is exactly, so I'll just daydream about the possibilities). Quote
Beast1979 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I would LOVE to see a Galaxi Model coatser in Nick U.! Quote

westcoaster Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 a big ferris wheel would rock! That would be awseome nfl a whirl! What a thought: Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I drew this about three years ago: My idea for an NFL-themed Tilt-a-Whirl: Quote

I think that these ideas alone would make these rides popular. Quote
Cory Butcher Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I drew this about three years ago: My idea for an NFL-themed Tilt-a-Whirl: WOW, that is very awesome! Licensing would create some problems, but nice concept! Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 For something totally original, here's something I dreamed up for Swan Lake: A combination Skyscraper-Frisbee-Inverted Zipper. It would spin, flip, turn, pretty much disorient and thrill unlike anything I've ever seen. Original Artwork by Thrill Biscuit Quote
Beast1979 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 ^Nice. I'm starting to wonder wether I want that or a new coaster more. Quote
italianchef Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I voted for dark ride themed to Spongebob - but I want a dark ride withOUT SpongeBob. I want a sci fi themed dark ride. KI needs more indoor rides because it does rain. Best regards, Italian Chef Quote

By all public accounts, Spongebob is leaving and a space themed simulator movie is replacing it. Quote

DizzyEatVortex Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 That would be good for people whoz feet get tired standing in lines all day. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 ^Thanks. Sometimes I go over the top with stuff like this, but it's all in fun. Even with no new rides this year, we can't wait go back. Quote
DizzyEatVortex Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Ummm. Kay. Not bein' rude, but, dude... who ain't? and did you draw that? Anyways, back on subject kingsisland should get something like tatu or millennium force only bigger. Thad rock. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Yeah. back on subject. KI needs nothing. It's fine the way it is. If it ever changes, then everyone will get all wistful about what's gone, or changed, or not there anymore. Kings Island is two words, and it's Tatsu. Your avatar looks like Geddy Lee. Peace out. Quote
DizzyEatVortex Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Why'd ya do that? It was funny! And your right, I was in a hurry, so I wrote too fast. That is Geddy Lee, I made him look like he would if he wasn't posin'. Dude's 54. Good eye, mate! And 'peace out's ooooolllddd schooooollll, dude. It's all good. I think KI will get something like what I said, but not as soon as I want. -Eddie Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 ^Well, 23 Skidoo, little brother! That's swell, and groovy! Radical to the max! (I'll get it new school, I promise!). I don't honestly know how much room KI has for a Millennium Force type coaster, without the ride intertwining with other rides, or being one heck of a narrow O&B. I've looked at Google Earth, etc., and I'm not sure what the park's boundaries are, but if they did ever introduce another monster coaster, I'd imagine it would be in all that wooded area to the east. I think the lift hill would be scarier amid trees and buildings than the lakeside view of MF. Quote
DiSab Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 And I'm thinking this was far cry from the way we thought we'd share it... --DiSab, showing off his love of Rush (again...) Quote
Jasper Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 I would love to see a hyper or giga coaster. Something like Millenium or MAgnum. Or a prototype of Nitro would not be bad either. Quote
DiSab Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 I would love to see a hyper or giga coaster. Something like Millenium or MAgnum. Or a prototype of Nitro would not be bad either. Uhh, would you happen to mean a copy of Nitro? Because I'm pretty sure a prototype of the ride would have to come before to actual ride itself. Quote
The Interpreter Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Nitro's prototype probably had more brakes. . . Actually, I think it was called Apollo's Chariot.... Terpy, running for the door, dodging geese.... Quote
