CincyMan98 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Would you EVER actually consider BLSC to be in Rivertown?! I don't like it in Coney Mall either.....it should be in Action Zone. But that doesn't apply because BLSC is far away from Action Zone, and the "log flume" is close to Rivertown and is in NU. I'm confusing......

PREMiERdrum Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 well i dont mean to be a stick in the mud but "they have gotten better with theming" NO WAY!! i think paramount was on top of the theming i have seen a decline in "theming" since CP took over. sorry No, he means that CF has gotten better with theming. in what area is he refering?? (areas of the park) i think the NU retheme will be the big test for them . I mean just what I said: Cedar Fair has made great strides in the area of designing and maintaining themeing. I was very impressed with Planet Snoopy @ CP, the detailed backdrops, graphics, themeing on the (admittidly used) rides, it all comes together very well. I do think that the NickU do overs will be a big test, but if their recent installations are anything to go by, there really isn't much to worry about.

The Interpreter Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I think that would depend on the amount of time, money and resources they decide to allocate to the tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemaniac Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I know what the map says and what the general guest thinks about the flume, but the rides department has the log flume placed in Rivertown (as well as BLSC) and it annoys me when the people that I work with every day tell me I'm part of kiddy land all the time. Sorry, but I'm picky like that If I understand correctly, ride ops are assigned to more than one ride. What is the log flume paired with? Danny Phantom's Phantom Flyers. Also, I'd say that there are as many rides without a pair as their are ride groupings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standbyme Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 But of course...because Snoopy is so boring and so poorly done at Cedar Point, Dorney Park, Knott's Berry Farm....NOT. Can you at least wait to see what Cedar Fair does before you announce it sucks? "I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I liked the Camp Snoopy theme quite a bit more than Planet Snoopy. Camp Snoopy seemed to have an overriding theme, but Planet Snoopy seemed like some cleverly-themed rides thrown together. I liked PS at CP, but I certainly liked the CS theme more. Hopefully, they'll pull it off at KI better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I really can't see Planet Snoopy at KI......don't know what it will be like. All I know is that Diamondback's name will soon be changed to the Snoop Dog Coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Nah....remember Twisted Sisters? What happened there? And if you think Nick royalties are expensive (and they are), I can just imagine what Mr. Dogg would want to use his name and/or likeness...

IX Services Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Well it was this time last year that Diamondback construction had already started. Unfortunately I have not been to the park to ride DB (That will be in Oct). I was just wondering if anyone has noticed any dirt being moved around at the park? Anything being stirred up, or speculation for 2010? New Ride Next Year might be a King Cobra or Screamin' Demon. They are wanting to turn Kings Island back to the past.

TylerRider Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 When you think about it, Action Theater has had Spongebob for almost half of its life. They could also add some theming- a few crates spraypainted bright colors with "Krabby Patties", "Pickles", etc. written on them. That wouldn't take too much out of the theming budget, would it? I dont get it. Why would they have to remove spongebob? Do they not have 2 theaters in Action theater. And Is urgent scare using either of the rooms ? IDK Just wondering.

Why on earth would the park expunge all references to Nick Universe and Nick characters, but keep Spongebob in the Action Theater? I suppose it is not impossible, but I figure it is about as likely as the park giving out free ice cream any day the temperature reaches 90 degrees. Possible, but very, very, very unlikely. Also only one side of Action Theater actually works. Been that way for quite some time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah, one side of the Action Theater is used for Urgent Scare and has been modified from its days as a theater to accommodate the haunt. And it is time for Spongebob in the Action FX Theater to be replaced anyway. It debuted in 2003, which makes its seven season run the longest of any other of the signature movies to be shown in the Action Theater. Days of Thunder was shown from 1994 through 1997. James Bond: A License to Thrill was shown from 1998-2000. The 7th Portal (the first 3D film in the Action FX theater) was shown from 2001-2002. In all honesty, unless they upgrade the theater to include some 4D effects (such as water, wind or smell effects like some of the theaters down at Disney World or Six Flags parks), I think that the Action FX Theater has pretty much run its course as a popular attraction. Now if they added some more family rides along Coney Mall back there, say on the former site of the laser tag building, it could increase the popularity of the FX Theater and whatever movie they are showing there next season. But I doubt that we will see any new rides added to Kings Island next year on the heels of Diamondback. See Canada`s Wonderland this year as an example of no major investment after they added Behemoth in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausty1983 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Here is an idea but i'm sure wouldn't happen at all though but why don't we get Chang from SFKK and put it in the park and paint it exactly like the King Cobra's colors and name The Revenge of King Cobra.

CoastersRZ Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Considering that Six Flags is likely relocated Chang to another Six Flags park and that no new stand up coasters have been built in years, the likelihood of that happening are about as likely as Kings Island building a ride like Top Thrill Dragster. As in not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 So you postulate they are buying Chang from Six Flags? Who knew? YES! KI needs a stand up! And a B&M while they are at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
