January 27, 200917 yr There are So Many Newbies this offseason! To all who have recently joined: "Search is you friend" So is spell check. Sorry, I HAD to. Anyway, there are!
January 27, 200917 yr see also: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?...hl=missed++ride Yes, but if he'd brought up this 2 year old thread, wouldn't every body be jumping on him for bringing up a dead thread?
January 27, 200917 yr True True. i miss the phantom theater, instead they replaced it with a scooby ride that isnt fun anymore.
January 27, 200917 yr The two I miss most are King Cobra (<3) and Skylab. King Cobra was quite possibly my favorite coaster in the park, because it was short, fun, different, and almost always walk-on. Also, of the 3 standups I've ridden, it was by far the smoothest. Skylab was the first ride I ever went on that went upside down. I rode it the same year as my first coaster. I really love Witch's Wheel at Cedar Point because it brings back memories.
January 27, 200917 yr I miss the Flying Eagles most of all. Many a happy time I had on those. And the line always seems much longer now that they are at Carowinds in the Nick section.
January 27, 200917 yr Author The eagles were so much fun cuz you had control of how high you could fly and it was like a 5 min wait at most.
January 27, 200917 yr Indeed they were fun. Sometimes the line could get quite long, actually. But, incredibly, Kings Island was one of the only parks in the country that didn't usually chastise guests for flying high or snapping the cables. It was a unique experience, and sadly missed. Modern versions installed in places like Indiana Beach and Camden Park do not compare.
January 27, 200917 yr The Eagles. I always loved seeing the big kids snap the eagles. I couldn't do it very well. They had this at Lake Compounce but it was sooo slow they were hardly off the ground. I didn't bother.
January 27, 200917 yr Author Phantom of the Opera is missed as well...I remember when i was younger riding it to dry off after water rides where the guy opens the furnace and the heat rolls out. Good Times
January 27, 200917 yr I believe you mean Phantom Theater, which the park always assured Andrew Lloyd Webber was NOT based on Phantom of the Opera, just as it said Adventure Express was NOT based on Indiana Jones.
January 27, 200917 yr I miss the old fashined antique cars and the flying eagles I've always wanted to ride King cobra
January 27, 200917 yr King Cobra and or the Flying Eagles. I had a chance to ride both of them. Though I was never even alive for it, I think it would have been a real 'interesting' experience to have ridden The Bat, even though I have heard to stories of how the ride basically tore itself apart.
January 27, 200917 yr I miss King Cobra as well, but I must admit, I really love Delirium that sits in it's location now.
January 27, 200917 yr the ride i miss the most is Son of Beast w/ the loop. and kenton's cove keelboat canal, but that one is just because i never got to ride it before it was replaced with empty garage: the ride
January 27, 200917 yr Ohh yeah Phantom Theater! I was walking to break during the Haunt and saw all of the blue characters on the stage in front of the tower and the music from the ride was playing. That's all we talked about all break were old rides.
January 27, 200917 yr I miss the Skylab. I can say that, in my opinion, all the other removals made the park better. While I did Like KCKC, I can see them taking it out. It still left the park with another log flume, WWC, and Amazon falls. Plus there is the water park. I also wouldn't mind seeing them put in a new version of Flight Commander.
