June 8, 201016 yr 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.
June 8, 201016 yr 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
June 8, 201016 yr 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.
June 8, 201016 yr 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?
June 8, 201016 yr Jump2...http://www.hussrides.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=110&Itemid=169
June 8, 201016 yr 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.

June 8, 201016 yr 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?
June 8, 201016 yr I have heard that Jump2's are not very reliable. Anyone care to back me up on this?
June 8, 201016 yr Author 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? On the HUSS website it says that the hourly capacity is 850 riders. That's an okay capacity for a flat ride.
June 8, 201016 yr I would love a bunch of new flat rides. Get rid of SOB and you could put quite a few in there
June 8, 201016 yr I would love a bunch of new flat rides. Get rid of SOB and you could put quite a few in there You know that land isn't flat right there
June 8, 201016 yr Author This is what a jump2 does... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd0nkGcqh8E" looks kind of fun

June 15, 201016 yr 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.
June 17, 201016 yr I have heard that Jump2's are not very reliable. Anyone care to back me up on this? Anythign Huss makes isn't reliable.
June 17, 201016 yr 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.
June 17, 201016 yr An Enterprise would fit well in X-Base. And yes, I'd be satisfied with a flat ride instead of a coaster.
June 17, 201016 yr 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.
June 17, 201016 yr 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
June 17, 201016 yr 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.
June 18, 201016 yr Chaos! One of my favorite flats ever, so I'd love to see it at KI even though I doubt it would ever happen.

June 18, 201016 yr 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.
