Coasterkidd23 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Every two years we get some kind of new ride.Tomb raider 2001.Delerium 2003. Italian Job Stunt Track 2005, Firehawk 2007, and Diamondback for 2009. So next year we probally are going to get some new ride unless there saving for something huge.

coaster_junky Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 tomb raider opened in '02, not '01, and you can't go by a pattern like this, it all depends on the parks budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 There was construction last Friday, but that was for the Starlight show. http://www.visitkingsisland.com/public/visit/events/index.cfm?id=187 I highly doubt we see a new ride next year, I am guessing the funds for that is going to go towards SOB repair, if feasible.

Don't forget that huge debt that Cedar Fair still has to pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterkidd23 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 The money should go to Sob If Cedar Fair or the park has the money but look at intimidator 305 And Intimidator they had the money for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerRider Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 They really did not have the money to buy them, they even tried to cancel the construction of them both. I think that is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyMan98 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Patterns don't work in the amusement park business. Honestly, I don't think we will get a new ride next year. Planet Snoopy came along, as well as some other different projects at KI. Maybe 2012. And call it "The End." (Haha, I really don't believe in 2012 anyways.)

bkroz Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Comparatively, Islands of Adventure: 1999 - Park opens 2000 - Flying Unicorn & Storm Force Acceleration 2001 - Nothing 2002 - Nothing 2003 - Nothing 2004 - Nothing 2005 - Nothing 2006 - High in the Sky Seuss Trolly Train Ride (existed from park opening, but actually began operation in 2006) 2007 - Nothing 2008 - Nothing 2009 - Nothing 2010 - Harry Potter & The Forbidden Journey So 2010 is the first time in 10 years that Islands has gotten something brand new... Just sayin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 And the park is still better than Kings Island IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Agreed. Islands of Adventure opened as "the most technologically advanced park on Earth." It might not be considered that anymore, but even ten years later with virtually no additions besides a kid's coaster and a teacup ride, it's still above-average in technology, and the paramount of American theme parks. Again, quality over quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 With all due respect, I would in no way call Islands of Adventures the paramount of American theme parks. Not even close. Like it or not, one or another of the Disney parks has that one locked down tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are not getting a new ride in 2011 why would they go ahead and add starlight experience. If there was nothing planed for 2011 I would think that they would add starlight experience next year and use it as a new attraction on there ad campaign. So I think we are getting a some new water slides and fresh pain in Boomerang Bay for 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillsberry123 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Looking through patterns in King's Island's past doesn't work when you consider that the park is run by a different company. When we look through Cedar Fair's past: 2010 - Intimidator/I305 2009 - Prowler/Diamondback 2008 - Behemoth/Geauga Lake Rides 2007 - Maverick/Renegade/Firehawk Next year I think we can plan on something new for Knott's Berry Farm and possibly Dorny Park. The year after I think we could have something added for Cedar Point. That is assuming that Cedar Fair finds a balance in their budget, which from the looks of it is a difficult thing to do. I don't see anything impressive added at King's Island until the SOB problem is taken care of. Until then, Diamondback will continue to suffice the general public as something new and novel.

Shaggy Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 And yet, next year will be the 40th season... If you want to know what KI will get in 2012, I'd keep a watchful eye on what CW (Wonderland) gets in 2011... that *seems* to be Cedar Fairs process thus far.

Beast1979 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Unless I'm missing something (Which I must be), CW getting a Beemer similar to DB one year later does not a pattern make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
