Guest rcfreak339 Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Plug and Play woody please. Those things look great and just looking at El Toro makes me drool...If anything I want a new woody, an invert would be my 2nd choice but even then they don't impress me much. Quote
DropZone4ever Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 I agree id like a Woodie, or a monster 400ft steel!!! Quote

Oldiesmann Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I ended up choosing "Other" because I think a KI could use a good Wild Mouse coaster. They're compact, very flexible and look like a lot of fun (sadly, I've never had the opportunity to ride one). Quote
CoastersRZ Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 While wild mouse coasters are fun (I rode yet another one at Busch Gardens Tampa over the weekend), they are low capacity rides. (Yes, a PTR will be forthcoming in the coming days from my trip down to Sea World Orland, Busch Gardens and Universal). I would much rather have a B&M inverted coaster, or even a B&M dive coaster. Between the two, it would be a tough decision. I`d have to say that if they got an inverted coaster like Afterburn at Carowinds, I would certainly be happy. That is still one of my favorite inverted coasters from B&M that I`ve ridden. Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 ...even after Montu? If so, that makes us at least two...(who prefer Afterburn aka Top Gun: The Blast Coaster to Montu. Et tu? (Terp, so old he rode the BGT Mousey when it was in Williamsburg...Izzy sayin' sumthin'?) Quote
TylerRider Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Smiled today when I thought of the possibility of seeing turned up dirt opening day 2011 somewhere around the park. Crazy to think someone out there knows the name of KI's next big Coaster. Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I bet Mr. Kinzel sure hopes he does....How very odd to think that he will NOT be CEO/Chairman on opening day of Kings Island's 40th anniversary season...even by his own reckoning...and he may no longer be with the company even sooner than that. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Yes. I still prefer Afterburn over Montu. The pacing is better on Afterburn, and some of the transitions on Montu seems rough (the train seemed to be rattling in some places). And of course, it didn`t help that they had one train operations on that coaster, and the crew seemed to be in no hurry. In fact, I witnessed several workers at both Busch and Sea World that clearly did not want to be there. Don`t get me wrong, Montu is a very fun ride. I just think Afterburn is better. Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Unless things have changed very drastically, the crew on Montu is enthusiastic, avid and eager...compared to that at Gwazi. I have seen corn grow faster than dispatching at Gwazi...and that's okay, because after the train dispatches, the riders have to endure that ride. Quote
KIfan1980 Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 In that case I really need to go ride Afterburn! I love the ride of Montu - and the paint scheme is also one of my favorites. In addition, I believe there should be a law against one train ops on a B&M. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 The Montu crew was not that enthusiastic when we were there. I didn`t find Gwazi to be that bad. I did wish that it had Millenium Flyers instead of PTCs as I think it would make the ride experience better. And unfortunately, Montu was the only B&M coaster we encountered with one train operations. The first ride we took on Kraken, they were also operating with one train. Although, immediately after we returned to the station after our first ride on it, they added a second train. (It was about a thirty minute wait with one train). Manta was walk on the entire time we were at Sea World! Now that is one FUN ride. That pretzel loop features some serious g forces. Especially in the back row. Quote

TombRaiderFTW Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 ^ I second this. Mad Mouse at Michigan's Adventure was one of my favorite, if not my favorite, coasters there. Seriously. Quote

I completely agree, though I do also adore the Wolverine Wildcat. Zach's Zoomer and Big Dipper are nice, too. Haven't been there since Thunderhawk made the move. Terp, of the strange coaster tastes compared to many... Quote

Terp, of the strange coaster tastes compared to many... To be very Honest with you I think Mad Mouse is the Best Coaster at Michigan's Adventure. I was there in late August and Thunderhawk runs the same as it ran at Geagua Lake. Quote

Horrible mascot as most Olympic mascots are, great Mousey though, but in Cincinnati it is the best Reuben...............at least I hope that is the sumthin' you are sayin'......and since we are talking about a Mousey Mouse then I have to bring up Mr. Jingles...
