If we could get some of KI's defunct flats back...

Featured Replies

Kings Island would have a kick-butt selection of flats had we never removed any of them. While the addition of Wind Seeker in 2011 will probably help Kings Island in the flats area, we still need more flats. Then I thought of this scenario.

If you could choose 5 of the old flats to bring back, which ones would you pick? It's a pretty simple idea. If you need a list of the defunct rides, here they are:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_defunct_Kings_Island_attractions

You may bring back any of the flats, plus log flumes, etc, but not the roller coasters. That would be a different topic.

So, which flats would you restore? Enjoy the poll. If you don't like it, click back.;)

McSalsa: Do you mean "flat" in the literal sense? In other words, would the transportation rides and dark rides be available? (Log Flumes are, so yes?)

McSalsaDo you mean "flat" in the literal sense? In other words, would the transportation rides and dark rides be available? (Log Flumes are, so yes?)

Yes, Dark Rides & Log Flumes are also legit picks here. I was using the general term as in "anything that isn't a waterslide or roller coaster, etc etc". And truly "flat" rides are unrideable because...they are flat as squished pancakes!:P

1. Enchanted Voyage ( OHHH, I get so mad every time of think of that ride being removed!)

2. Cuddle Up ( OHHH, I'm getting mad again. )

3. Rotor

4. Der Spinning Keggers ( My very first KI ride. )

5. Sky Ride

Well flight commander would have made the list but after that accident i couldn't very well put it on the list.

  1. Phantom theatre
  2. Kenton's Cove Keelboat Canal
  3. Flying Eagles
  4. Antique Cars
  5. Skylab

*Flight Team Aerial Helicopter Tours would of been cool too if the helicopter provider wouldn't of stoped providing the helicopter.

FLYING EAGLES!

Then Antique Cars. Other then that, I don't know enough about KI's flat history to make a good judgement.

1) Tomb Raider (in its original/themed state)

2) Skyride

3) Skylab

4) Enchanted Voyage

5) -though not considered a 'flat'- WinterFest

1. Enchanted Voyage

2. Phantom Theater

3. Flying Eagles

4. Antique Cars

5. Zodiac

Yes, 1 AND 2....but no Smurfs, thank you...(with apologies to those who love them).

Tumble Bug - for you Mom

The Rotor - for you Sis

Enchanted Voyage

Bayern curve

Sunshine Turnepike

I know you said no coasters on the list but I have to add Bavarian Beetle-I think we should make an exception for this because it can easily be reinstalled. How I loved that ride.

1. Enchanted Voyage

2. Lion Country Safari

3. Antique Cars

4. KCKC

5. Skylab

1) Enchanted Voyage

2) Tumblebug

4) Antique Cars

5) Flying Eagles

I will only post the 3 defunct flat rides that I have ridden that I liked.

1: Phantom Theater

2: Antique Cars

3: Flying Eagles

Antique Cars and Les Taxis (counting this as one ride since it shared the same space and such)

Flying Eagles

Smurf ride (sorry Terpy, but this was a must-ride for us during our annual family trips to KI when I was a kid)

Der Spinnin Keggers (dizzying flat rides are always fun)

Halleys Comet

I'd have to pick 5 from the following 10, but got a little sad trying to decide.

Bayern Curve

Der Spinning Keggers

Flying Eagles

Enchanted Voyage

KCKC

Both sets of Tiques

Rotor

Skylab

Wheel of Fortune

Lion Country Safari Monorail

1) Enchanted Voyage, and it should come back we need a relaxing ride!

2) Flying Eagles!!!!

3) Scrappys slide

4) Yer spenning keggers,

5) witches culdrions!

I'm not eligible to vote in this poll since I wasn't alive during KI's "flat" days. But I'm going to anyway. I'm just gonna pick the ones that seems the most fun.

  1. Kenton's Cove
  2. McScrappy's Slide
  3. Phantom Theatre
  4. Zodiac
  5. Tumble Bug looks like a blast!

1. Enchanted Voyage

2. Phantom Theater

3. Flying Eagles

4. Antique Cars

5. Zodiac

Yes, 1 AND 2....but no Smurfs, thank you...(with apologies to those who love them).

I'd prefer The Enchanted Voyage the way it originally was as well, however I'd take it anyway I could get it!

1: Flying Eagles (I WANT TO SNAP!)

2: Phantom Theater

3: Antique Cars

4: Keel Boats ( AWE YES)

5: Tomb Raider

4 & 5, I want them both.

Phantom Theater

Tomb Raider (Original Theme)

And I have a Question. I was unfortunate and was born in the mid 90's. I remember in the early 2000's or so my babysitter would take me to PKI and I somehow remember this, canoe sorta ride. It had water and was sorta a flume ride. Please confirm or denie me!! Oh, and my first coaster was Flight of Fear, hahaha my brother secretly got me in!!! Ever since I've been a coaster boy.

^You're probably thinking of Kenton Cove Keelboat Canal, or KCKC for short. It was a flume ride that was located where The Crypt is now.

As for my picks:

1. FLYING EAGLES!!!! (sorry for the enthusiasm, but I really miss these)

2. Der Spinnin' Keggers or Winnie Witch's Cauldrons - either one will do

3. Enchanted Voyage - pre-Smurfs!

4. Lion Country Safari Monorail - there really was no better way to cool off on a hot day!

5. It's a toss up between Skylab, Bayern Curve and The Rotor. It's too hard to choose between those three, I loved them all.
