DaveStroem Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 So, Kings Island should not imitate/duplicate Holiday World rides, but I ask you, did they not in many ways attempt to duplicate the legendary Beast on a Holiday World budget? So much so that the year the copy opened Paramount Parks sold hot sauce commemorating a legendary coaster at Kings Island, in those words? What I was trying to say is that I would want something that the other parks that are relatively close don't offer. That being said, I guess that some might consider Voyage & El Toro simular in that they are both wild air filled wooden coasters. Quote
goofywdw Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I LOVE Raptor. And If I could choose the next ride for KI, it would probably be a Intiman or a B&M invert. What about a Vekoma SLC? I actually enjoy those coasters. Mind Eraser at SFNE was always fun and the head banging wasn't as bad. But the SLC at SFKK is horrible compared to the others I have been on. Quote

DeLorean Rider Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I'd say replace SDATHC with Mr. Toad's Wild ride (the Walt Disney World One) It looks wonderful, though (slightly) politically incorrect. And you gotta love the random movement! Like I always say, there's nothing like a ride where you die and go to hell at the end. Not to mention EVERYone is familiar with the Wind in the Willows right? Just like EVERYone is familiar with Song of the South right? Also I must be the only person who has ridden the Mummy and been disappointed by it. Oh and whoever said Chang; really? I think the world has decided that B&M stand-up coasters are not necessarily crowd favorites. Quote
kingsislandfan1972 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Without a doubt I would pick Space Mountain to bring to Kings Island! 3 Quote
Steph88 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 The thread has risen from the grave! I'm torn between three: 1) KD's Crypt (haven't ridden it yet but it looks so cool) 2) Gatekeeper 3) Disney World's Haunted Mansion 3 Quote
freaks76 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 KD can have The Crypt. One of the most nauseating rides I ever rode. Never rode the one at KI. Very glad I passed.I'd take Volcano or I-305, though 2 Quote
Haru-Kun Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Soarin' Over California Ohio Edit: I think more than anything I'm just desperate for KI to get a great dark ride. We need one! 4 Quote
thekidd33 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 KD can have The Crypt. One of the most nauseating rides I ever rode. M Never rode the one at KI. Very glad I passed. I'd take Volcano or I-305, though As someone who cannot handle many flat rides without serious motion sickness, The Crypt was surprisingly tolerable. I never rode it as Tomb Raider though. 2 Quote
freaks76 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 ^I'm almost the exact opposite. It take alot to make me queasy. Really the only other ride I can think of that does is Invertigo. Oddly Carolina Cobra did not, though. 2 Quote
MadMaverick Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I get motion sick pretty easy but rollercoasters never bothered me in the slightest and neither did Tomb Raider:The Ride never bothered me. But if I ride Max Air or Delerium I'm done for the day. 2 Quote
Steph88 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Going back through this thread, it looks like a few people had their wishes come true. (A B&M invert) 2 Quote
thoe124 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 The Smiler. I love that ride, (i haven't been on it, but it looks fantastic) and i think it would be a great fit here. (in X-Base, maybe) (but make sure to apply Kings Island's safety standards to it so it doesn't crash) 1 Quote
Beast Gal Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 That yellow coaster at Hershey pa. Rode it last summer. Quote
rhyano Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 either Blue Fire, Helix, or Maverick would be my picks 1 Quote
CoasterDirected Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Obviously my profile pic. Maybe Taron but I'm not riding that for at least 5 years 1 Quote
Stoan Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 I am a sucker for Diamondback. Banshee is a more enjoyable ride to me, but my body does not tolerate loops very well, so I'd have to spread it out. Diamondback I can ride for a long time, especially nighttime rides. 1 Quote
Beast Gal Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 https://youtu.be/FpJVac_5XkA Obviously my profile pic. Maybe Taron but I'm not riding that for at least 5 yearsThat is breathtaking. Looks like the cowboy coaster at Cedar Point. Quote

purdude86 Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 There's a lot of coasters I'd like to see brought to KI like Thunderbird or Maverick. But I agree with Haru-Kun that we need a great dark ride. Would love to see Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man from Universal, or at least something similar. Busch Gardens has shown us a regional park can get something like it with Curse of Darkastle. 1 Quote
