coasterfan85 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 Looks neat! Anyone tried them yet?? How much is it? Quote
CincyMan98 Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 I tried it. They are so much fun! Your main goal is to try and stand straight up in them, but I faceplanted into the side. It's like a hamster in his ball! BTW, in reply to coasterfan85, it is $8. Quote
DropZone99 Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 I 'rode' them on opening day. They were very fun, defiantly one of my favorite 'rides' at Kings Island! Quote
Oldiesmann Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 I tried it. They are so much fun! Your main goal is to try and stand straight up in them, but I faceplanted into the side. It's like a hamster in his ball! BTW, in reply to coasterfan85, it is $8. The price seems to vary. Most times I've seen it at $8, but when I meandered by there late in the day this past Friday, they were $10. Quote
coaster_junky Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 terpy, have you taken these bad boys for a spin? Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Nope...and I am not sure whether I will or not. For many years, my weight kept me off Eurobungy. Then, they said people my age couldn't backflip. I have visions of the hampster ball sinking, tee hee! Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 It looks like you could just roll right out of the pool. I am assuming that you cant though. Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 It looks like something where little guys and gals could have a ball. I'm not sure people of my age should do this. We might break a hip or something! Quote
coaster_junky Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 so, i was at the park yesterday, and i noticed that this ride was removed and setting up where the pool was there was a bobcat and, what looked to be, two rebarb (sp?) cages laying on their sides, could this mean a new flat is coming? Quote
CedarPointer Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Maybe they're replacing the temporary-looking pool with an in-ground one? Quote
bkroz Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Probably a giga. The station will be wood, and made from the remains of Son of Beast, which they're tearing down. Also, they're refurbishing the trains from King Cobra for the new coaster, and Paramount is buying back the park. Also, Tomb Raider! Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I think your post is universally off base...as to predicting the future, you are certainly busch league. Terpy, who just had to do something with such Mickey Mouse ideas... Quote

You were almost correct, they are only using the nails they remove from SOB. The rest of your statement was 100% accurate:) Quote
Diamondback96 Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I think your post is universally off base...as to predicting the future, you are certainly busch league. Terpy, who just had to do something with such Mickey Mouse ideas... I rate this post six flags! Quote
bkroz Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Which is more fun than five! What has this discussion become!? Too many... bad... puns.... Can't... take it... much longer... Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 There are good puns? Terpy, who hopes this thread remains, oh pun Quote
Vortex Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 So the Zorba ball thing is gone. Does anyone have a picture of what they are digging up? Could we see a new ride in this area next year? Quote
IslandAddict Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 It's OBVIOUSLY going to be a new inverted coaster! I saw teh model, which means they have too! Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 They are moving the sinking Vortex over there. Quote
Purplehaze Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Great idea however we all know what it really is, flag poles. Quote
Purplehaze Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Someone say we just sold out to Six Flags? Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Nope. Six Flags just got out of bankruptcy and hired the former Paramount Parks CEO. They can afford flags over there...but FUN is not something they can right now... Quote
