KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 I think Congo Falls is crap what do you think could go there? Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Lots of things. But definitely not crap. Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Leave Congo falls alone I love that ride. If you have your hands up it feels like your falling out! Quote
KI FANATIC 37 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 ok i might try it sometime....thanks Quote
Browns4life Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Keep Congo Falls, and remove the wooden piece of crap across the way and put in a dueling BM Invert!!! Quote
Fear the Four Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 A B&M invert would be funner, less painful, and less dangerous. Quote
Browns4life Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Imagine a dueling invert with not 2, but 4 trains running... I think they could pull it off Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Why not compromise and keep SoB and get the invert? Quote
KI Kevin Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Why not compromise and keep SoB and get the invert? Sounds like a good idea to me. I like SoB. Quote
Tom76257 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 Before Kings Island gets rid of any rides I think they should put more flat rides in and do SOMETHING with the former Paramount Story area. That could hold 3 or 4 restaurants/gift shops, a few flats, or a very small coaster. I miss not seeing things from movies in that area and HATE seeing it empty. Quote
CincyMan98 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Congo Falls is a great place to cool off on a hot day at Kings Island. A lot of people ride it. I would not get rid of it. I'd get rid of "the wooden piece of crap" that stands in the front of the park, and like a lot of you said, a B&M invert. The only reason that would not be a good idea is because Invertigo is right next to SOB - it would look kind of weird having two inverted coasters. But still, that's a good idea. Quote

CedarPointer Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Or, Tower Gardens could remain a nice, peaceful area, and even have the water working again. Not every area small plot of land needs to have a ride plopped on it. Tower Gardens is one of my favorite peaceful areas of the park. Quote
DropZone99 Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Alot of things can fit in Congo's Space. It's alot bigger than you think. I know in The Go Kart's lot coaster such as Afterburn and Balder could fit there with extra room! Quote

The Interpreter Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 To the left of the Eiffel Tower...it contained the movie props and movie stones set in brick. During Fear Fest (now Halloween Haunt), a walk through is staged in it. It was once known as The Paramount Story, and, before that, Tower Gardens. Quote

I think he is talking about the area around Drop Tower. Nope on completely wrong. It is where Cemetery Drive is during Haunt. Quote
CedarPointer Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 It's the former Paramount Story, to the left of the Eiffel Tower. Quote
rotag Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 they screwed things up when they called drop zone into Drop Tower, now people have to figure out which of the two towers they are refering to. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 No dont tear down Congo Falls. I love that ride! Quote
CedarPointer Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I don't think we want to start losing all of our water rides- just look at CP... Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Oh, ok. I've only been through what was Paramount Story during HH for Cemetary Drive, when it was dark and I could see much. Thanks. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 I don't think we want to start losing all of our water rides- just look at CP... Which perhaps not coincidentally has an upcharge Soak City, so to speak. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I'm sure CF would charge extra for admission to Boomerang Bay if they thought they could get away with it. Fortunately with the waterpark always being included in KI admission, plus a much nicer waterpark just up the road, I doubt that's going to happen. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 That's not my point. My point is that since Soak City is an extra charge, Cedar Point has an incentive to put virtually all of its water rides there. Then, dry park guests who want to get thoroughly wet get soaked... Quote
KI Kevin Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Fortunately with the waterpark always being included in KI admission, plus a much nicer waterpark just up the road, I doubt that's going to happen. I wouldn't say the Beach is much nicer than Boomerang Bay. It's not nearly as clean, and doesn't have any newer rides. Quote
Wooden Roller Coaster Fan Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I want the Voyage To come to KI that would be Amazing! Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Somehow, I doubt the Kochs agree with you. They steadfastly refused to sell to that company that numbers its flags, and they'd be devastated if the Voyage sailed to Mason, Ohio. Quote
