BeastForever Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 KI has been lacking in flat rides for a long time. The next ride they add will most likely be a fairly cheap flat ride since they spent $22 million on DB a year ago. I would be satisfied with a new flat ride next year or 2 years from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Islander Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I don't know... Kings Island really has enough Thrill Rides. I could really go for a collection of family- oriented flats, Antique Cars, or the new MegaWhip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 ^ I think we do need a new flat thrill ride since The Crypt basically died. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandAddict Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I hate flat rides. They make me feel really dizzy and uncomfortable for some reason. But I would love to see a Jump2 in X-Base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think we need more carnival like rides. Just for fun. Such as an Enterprise. I know, we have enough spinning rides - but what would it hurt to just have one more? I don't think KI needs a big flat ride, we just need a fun little family ride. And, what's a Jump2?

Guest Millennium Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I like Drop Tower and Delirium, so I'm good. I never get excited about a flat unless it is really amazing (see: Spiderman at Universal, Tower of Terror, etcetera) but there is a 0% chance ANY Cedar Fair park would ever get that. And with that said, lol, I would love to get a ride similar to Power Tower at Cedar Point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would look hideous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbfan Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I thought Power Tower was lame. What whe need is a luanched one right next to Drop zone, Launch Zone. And it looks like Jump2 would look great in X Base, is its capacity good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an okay capacity for a flat ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rcfreak339 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 S&S Screamin Swing please!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillsberry123 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I would like a SS Screaming Swing or a Jump2. Preferably a Screaming Swing. X-Base could use one of the two, since it's missing a flat ride. I would also like to see Chaos moved from Cedar Point to Coney Mall at King's Island, but I don't know if that would happen. I think that King's Island is better on the flat rides than most parks. Action Zone has 2 modern flats, and Coney Mall is filled with traditional flat rides. I think the odds of us getting a flat ride in the next few years is greater than a coaster. I'd say to expect a flat ride in 2012 and a coaster in 2015. Son of Beast is the park's main priority now, so I wouldn't expect much until that problem is fixed... or eliminated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Not true in days of old. Shake, Rattle and Roll. Enterprises. It's their more modern stuff that isn't...and Jump2, unfortunately, fits that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 An S&S swing would be legit. I think it would go great where the go carts are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSkippy Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 An Enterprise would fit well in X-Base. And yes, I'd be satisfied with a flat ride instead of a coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I think a small launched drop ride would be awesome in X-Base. Maybe about 150 feet tall, or if they want to, 300 feet tall! Yet if it was in Action Zone, it would look weird against the skyline, because Drop Tower is there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikra_rocks Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 TILT-A-WHIRL!! They need to put a nice Tilt-A-whirl in the Coney section. One on par with the one at Cedar Point. It is one of the best TAW I have been on. I could ride a good Tilt-a-whirl all day....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gad198 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 This is what a jump2 does... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd0nkGcqh8E" looks kind of fun Trust me, this ride is WAY more fun to look at than it is to ride. The drops don't feel anywhere near as sudden as they look. It's also been down or just outright closed on two of three of my visits to Canada's Wonderland, FWIW. I still think that the best flat to get would be a good Huss breakdance. I LOVED the one at Kentucky Kingdom when I rode last year and was the best flat ride experience I've had yet. It also spun in both directions (clockwise and counterclockwise) during the same ride cycle so that added to the thrill. Add in a nice long ride cycle and there's really nothing better IMO.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Chaos! One of my favorite flats ever, so I'd love to see it at KI even though I doubt it would ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74Gibson Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 S&S swing gets my vote. I was at CP yesterday and couldn't get enough of Skyhawk. I should mention too,at the end of the night, the que was empty but the ride nearly full and they let us re-ride multiple times. I only stopped because it was time to sprint for a night cap on Maverick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
