Steve Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm including Defunct rides. Remember the first time you came to KI. Since that year, what rides (of course including current attractions) have you never ridden? I came in 92' for the first time. That being said, I never rode King Cobra, Flight Commander, the bungee thing (not slingshot but the one where your go up and down) or the Days of Thunder. What have you not ridden since your 1st visit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerhunter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Since 1973..I don't think there is anything I haven't ridden except for maybe some of the new rides in Hanna Barbara Land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 You mean Nickelodeon Universe? Yeah. I haven`t been on a few of the rides in Nick Universe. Specifically, I have never ridden the Lazytown Sportacopters (monorail helicopters). And up until last August, I had never ridden the Slingshot. That is a fun and thrilling ride, and well worth the $5 I paid to ride it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will always be Hanna Barbara Land to me...I just rode the Sportcopters with my kids last week...because even though it was early admission for Gold Pass...it seemed to be th eonly thing open. I rode the Slingshot for the first time last weekend (during the problem with the smoker) and I paid the $5 as well....absolutley marvelous feeling. Was nearly as euphoric as sex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortney Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Never went on Flight Commander....was in line when the lady fell to her death. Um anything that was there in the 80's and early 90's minus King Cobra, Days of Thunder...I wasn't tall enough to go on way back then. Edited To Say: Whatever that bungee like ride is that was over by SOB, they told me I couldn't ride it because I wasn't tall enough. I never since tried them at any other park. I think it was Extreme Flyer, I am 60 inches tall exactly and yet I was too short for that....yeah that makes sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I have never been on SLingshot and Xtreme Skyflyer. I think that is it i have rode everything else that is there today. Defunct rides. Bavarian Beetle, Screamin Demon, Ferris Wheel, The Zodiac, Flight Commander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to ride Flight Commander once...totally freaked my wife out with my manuevers. I wasn't that impressed with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I haven't ridden anything in the park that doesn't allow adults on it...except the kiddie steel coaster, which I have ridden numerous times under its various names...I always wanted to do the kiddie bumper cars when they had the Flintstones cars on them!

The Interpreter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Yeah, I know... I still love the name of the bumper cars at Busch: Ubanga Banga! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerhunter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I don't understand why the powers that be refuse to bring back Hanna Barbara Land and it's characters...it's what the people want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Yeah, there are many things I'd love to come back, mainly the King Cobra which I never got to ride, the Zodiac, and Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal. They never will though in this day and age Ohh, I never rode scrappy's slide (but have ridden the giant slides elsewhere) I have been on the boulder bumpers and every kiddy ride since I first came at age 3 lol.

PKIDelirium Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 For current rides, the only thing I haven't been on is Phantom Flyers, Blues Skidoo (Rode it as the Biplanes though), and Plankton's Plunge. Captain Nemo knows how awesome Sportacopters are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 ARe you sure they werent called The Flintstone's Boulder Bumpers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I think they were just called Boulder Bumpers...but it was a lot of fun to say Bam Bam's Boulder Bumpers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerhunter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Danny Phantons Flyers should be taken out. Any parent who is talked into riding this thing with their child will rue the day they did. It is most painful to the lower extremities of adult males...and I'm pretty sure most female riders would experience pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 That's odd. I love the thing and experience no discomfort....it's also odd in that Camden Park in West Virginia got one several years before Kings Island! http://www.camdenpark.com/rides.html bottom middle picture...

deerhunter Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 It is the large hard foam support that rests agaisnt your crotch..not very comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Captain Nemo knows how awesome Sportacopters are. I moved on, I love Uniqua now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavarianBeatle Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Besides newer kiddie rides, Extereme Skyflyer and Firehawk (my kids aren't tall enough and every time I went without them last year it started raining when I was in line). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Danny's Flyers are not meant for the taller males especially because your feet hang down way to far and it crotches you like a mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markr Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Never rode Skylab.(Still at CP as Witches Wheel. ) I think it would have made me sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartKI Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 For current rides, the only thing I haven't been on is Phantom Flyers, Blues Skidoo (Rode it as the Biplanes though), and Plankton's Plunge. Captain Nemo knows how awesome Sportacopters are. Phantom Flyers is fun for the kid in you, and the adult in you too...if you know what I mean!!! BA-HA! LOL!
