UnrealNightmare Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Theres a few things in my opinion that could use a little TLC. The Racer, FoF, Rivertown, and some of the restaurants. Also a bathroom near FoF would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 From an infrastructure standpoint: The black asphalt needs to go. Many of the restrooms need renovation....and X Base needs new restrooms. The park desperately needs the same type of fans with misters in queue lines that Cedar Point has. It also needs more shading in queue lines. Access for the disabled needs to be more carefully and thoughtfully provided. The main gate building needs either serious renovation or replaced. And the park is in dire need of a sit down, table service restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'd pretty up that ugly access road that's visible from Adventure Express with maybe some crushed marble on the sides. I'd also at least touch up the paint on the theming on the .... what are they calling the Train now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlfox_21 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 Yes, the walkways are very hot. And it kinda looks a little bit unglamorous. The parking lot itself could do well with getting repaved. ( especially the associate lot ) The fountain where the Paramount Story was needs a little bit of T.L.C. I have always loved that fountain. My fiance and I always make it a point to sit next to it on every visit, to eat an icecream cone or something. But personally, I have never liked looking at the associate walkway behind the enchanted theatre. I think that it looks so out of place from atop of the Eiffel Tower. I know that there's not too much that could be done with it. But maybe some kind of a tarp between the buildings could hide it from the public. And it would help to shade the associates. A large tarp that read Kings Island across it, just for tower viewers. Hey, it's just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Fix the themeing in Flight of Fear, Adventure Express, and make the Crypt work consistently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Trim brake on SOB's rosebowl. Top Gun... i mean Flight Deck paint job. Add a more 'Coney Island' look to Coney Mall. And fixing up or removing Down Under Thunder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Attack! Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 The main gate building needs either serious renovation or replaced. I have to agree here, the outside of the building is looking pretty old and nasty, at least a new roof since so it is so visible to guests. The pavement in the parking lot needs some real work, at least in the employee parking lot As far as the employee walkway near the tower I don't think a tarp will solve the problems but rather just some repavement an some new paint on the back side of the Haunted Mansion.

SOB_TOM Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Maintenance on ALL theming aspects in park to make them work, which includes bottom of Flight Deck, FoF, Backlot and Crypt would be my main concern. Theres no reason the theming looks this bad a few years after opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sure there is. Budget. Given Cedar Fair sees itself in the amusement park industry...it will be interesting what their attitude is towards theming in the old Paramount Parks. Hopefully, the treatment of Disaster Transport at Cedar Point is not an omen. Regardless, Paramount Parks didn't keep its theming up to par either.
