OH..AND THE BIG SLIDE THAT YOU RODE DOWN IN THE POTATO SACKS!!!

1) The Flying Scooters-originally from CI ca.1920's...

Kings Island's Flying Scooters, known as the Flying Eagles, did come from Coney Island of Ohio. A ten tub Bisch Rocco set of Flying Skooters, they were produced in 1935. Various sources indicate they were installed in either 1935, 1936 or even 1940. See, for instance, the year 1940 here:

The Carowinds website says 1935:

In any event, they certainly were not there in the 1920's...

And are sadly missed now....

Thanks, I thoght the Flying Scooters came in with tht Flying Spaceship.

That was in the 20's.

Change?

Destruction/Land Decisions:

1. Not put TRTR right next to The Beast but back some to allow for more expansion

2. Not put Firehawk right next to FoF but back some to allow for more expansion

3. Not put in SoB.

4. Not taken out King Cobra for Delirium but placed Delirium on SoB's land

5. Not taken out Antique Cars and Eagles for IJST but placed IJST by Delirium on SoB's land

*EDIT*

Added map...

Ditto. New rides and attractions should not be added at the expense of existing rides and attractions.

5. Giant water racing slides in waterpark

So like Coolangatta Racer

or like Down Under Thunder

No, like the GIANT really high white one near the entrance.

The top 5 things that I would change or bring back are the following:

1. The Smurfs Enchanted Voyage

2. The Skyride

3. The Antique Cars ( I would make them electric )

4. Wild Animal Habitat, and all related shows

5. Unique dining experiences. Not mostly restaurant brands that you can find anywhere.

I so agree about the unique dining experiences!!!! Although Graeter's ROCKS, and Starbucks and Cinnabon are great, I can go to my local mall for all of those!?!?! Has anyone made it to the "Wings Buffet" yet? Wondered how that was?!?!?

1 enchanted voyage

2 tiques

3 flying scooters (eagles.)

4 good food

5 more theming to the themed lands (cedarpoint beat ki at this for sure: )

1.SOB had it's old loop

2.King Cobra (Delirium wouldn't be here)

3.BLSC would be gone... anything could take it's place

4.Flight Commander was still here

5.Adventure Express was longer

1. Antique cars, powered electrically

2. Go-karts, on a longer, Formula-1 style track, also electric

3. Sky Ride

4. Flying Scooters, either coming back from Carowinds, or evem brand new.

5. Ferris Wheel/Double Wheel

5. Giant water racing slides in waterpark

So like Coolangatta Racer

or like Down Under Thunder

No, like the GIANT really high white one near the entrance.

I believe that he is talking about Fast Tracks, or Fastracks. The highest one was called the Plunge, I remember certain ones would burn your back.

O, the speed slides that were where Coolangatta Racer now is?

Here's a blast from the past for you: 1) The Wonderbread bakery that made the minature loafs of Wonder bread on International St.

2) The Cincinnati Reds store in Rivertown..(think it's where they make antique photos now)

3) The singing mushrooms

4 ) I loved the African theming with the roped bridges where Action Zone is now

5) The trams in the parking lot...and maybe the double decker buses

1.The Flyers

2.King Cobra

3.Hanna Barbarra Land

4.Flight of Fear's Theming

5.Phantom Theatre

Wow, CoastersNSich sure seems to favor electrically powered rides! I did think the antique cars smelled horrible though.

Does KI seriously have a cinnebon now??? What?!

I never thought it smelled bad, but the vibration in my feet after I got out of the car is what got to me.

5-That tank game that used to be in HB where the tanks shot tennis balls at each other (loved to watch people play this game) name?

I always wanted to try that game.

Yep, it was the sweet new attraction for 2008, until they re-opened what is now The Crypt...

1. Lion Country Safari

2. Enchanted Voyage

3. King Cobra

4. Attention to Detail

5. Original International Street

1. Lion Country Safari

2. Enchanted Voyage

3. King Cobra

4. Attention to Detail

5. Original International Street

Out of your list I think only 4 and 5 could be done now days. Which would not be a bad thing if you think about it.

1. put the loop back in Son of Beast

2. remove the building from the crypt (if its not going to have theming in it there isn't a need for it)

3. no flight deck

4. 2009 roller coaster be built now

5. better names for the old paramount rides

1. Der Spinnen Keggers (made famous by "Alice");

2. Sky Ride (hasn't cable car technology improved since 1975?);

3. Skylab;

4. Keelboat Canal;

5. Original lighting on the ET.

1- rename the odd coaster to Beastie

2- bring back the flying eagles

3- MRR old west theaming

4- less brakes on The Beast

5- season pass entrance

...

2. Sky Ride (hasn't cable car technology improved since 1975?);

Not really, but it's even more true that guest behavior (spitting, throwing things, etc.) has not improved since 1975....

....1- rename the odd coaster to Beastie....

Why not to Scooby Doo?

...4- less brakes on The Beast....

The Beast has no more brakes on it today than it did its opening season. If you mean bring back the old skid brakes, it ain't gonna happen.

^Oh, yes... I forgot about guest behavior. I can imagine, after being spit on by some punk kids in line for Tazmanian Typhoon a couple years back, how people might behave on Skyride these days.

Since this this thread is a question of opinion I would have to say The Beastie since this was the the name the first time I rode it. Also you know what I meant by the brakes on The Beast, and no one ever said they would change anything posted in here. Forget it all!!!

noone wants The Bat to come back? im surprised...

No, don't forget it all... I just wondered why you said what you did...this is a discussion board, after all!

Cedar Fair says they listen...and you never know what might happen!

Hmmmm, I can't find the thread with what CF said.

But if memory serves right, it said that they take surveys in which the questions are crafted to obtain the answers that they're looking for.

Well, at least that's the summarized version.

That's what Mr. Kinzel recently said...that they ask leading questions during research...

http://www.ohio.com/news/ap?articleID=524294&c=y

...

Q: How do you know what guests want?

A: We take surveys every day in all of our parks. At the end of the year, we compare all of the parks. We ask leading questions that help us in our decision making. They'll let you know if they're paying too much or if they've had a bad day.

Yeah, I swear there was a whole thread about this article.

I'm not able to find it in the search function.

Mr. Kinzel said a lot of inappropriate things in the article.

Edit:

Never mind, it's here.
