Son of King Demon Bat Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 The new rollercosters will be steel with a 7 million dollar price tag. 1 Quote
sccard01 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 Do any of you think Hurricane Bay will be a eye catcher over Splashin Safari? That is what my mind is starting to lean towards Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Holiday World has significant challenges of its own in the near term. I doubt many travel great distances to go to a further away water park. Some, yes. Many, no. Quote
McSalsa Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I dunno...when it comes to waterparks, Splashin' Safari is a VERY tough one to beat. They have a lot of high-profile, massive water slides and attractions. However, if Ed Hart adds several new multi-tower slide complexes like the ones I saw in his pitch to re-open the park, the fact Kentucky Kingdom is 70 miles closer than Holiday World would suddenly become a huge factor at least in my family & friend's cases, and it might warrant a closer look at both- as well as Kings Island, of course, which will have a 168-foot, 68mph, 7-inversion inverted trump card next year... 7 Quote
sccard01 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 A year from now, Hurricane Bay being voted the Number 1 water park in the region. Possible? If Not how could it? Quote
jcgoble3 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 You can define a region however you want (read: whatever gives you the most seemingly impressive marketing claim). A few minutes from my house sits Kil-Kare Speedway, a 3/8 mile paved oval short track used for weekly grassroots-level auto racing. At one point, the sign out front advertised the track as "the fastest 3/8 mile oval in Greene County". In fact, it is the only auto racing track in Greene County of any length. 5 Quote
sccard01 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Well, we just all have to put are opinions forward in November. 2 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 The first picture was taken a few months back.... The second picture was taken today..... Notice the upgraded color scheme on Giant Wheel. (Photo Courtesy of The New Kentucky Kingdom) Although it's looking good, work on the Giant Wheel isn't complete yet, according to Kentucky Kingdom. 3 Quote
BeastForever Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Looks like it will be a nice little place to visit next year. 3 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Work is now being done to re-construct and paint the ride-op booth of Breakdance at Kentucky Kingdom..... Photo Courtesy of The New Kentucky Kingdom) ((Now the ride just needs a new sign.... )) 4 Quote
sccard01 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Next Friday? The Announcement? Either way, it seems we're less than two weeks away! 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 And then, if this group's clever, season pass marketing begins--hot and heavy. 3 Quote
Tuskin Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I sure hope the 6 million dollar coaster is something we, completely, didn't expect. I don't mind it being a used product, I'm just excited to see what exactly it is. 5 Quote
upstop Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Here's your coaster....LOL http://rcdb.com/314.htm?p=879 3 Quote
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I'd take it as I never ride screamin demon. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I547 using Tapatalk Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 That coaster has been demolished. Even before it was, it had fallen into corrosive disrepair. 4 Quote
RailRider Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I thought it was painted rust color? No? That is the only color I remember it being at Camden 1 Quote
sikkinixx99 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I thought I read that it was going to be a really decent coaster. I really hope that isn't the one. Quote

I don't mind it being a used product, I'm just excited to see what exactly it is. I really think this coaster is going to be a surprise. It just does not seem like Ed Hart adding a 6-7 million dollar coaster unless he is adding another prototype. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I thought I read that it was going to be a really decent coaster. I really hope that isn't the one. It isn't. That coaster was smashed to bits and removed. 2 Quote
RailRider Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Which is a better fate than sitting in a field in Thorntown Indiana and rusting away... 5 Quote
upstop Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I would have liked to have seen Chaos rebuilt at KK instead of seeing it rust in that field. 1 Quote
sccard01 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 I would have liked to have seen Chaos rebuilt at KK instead of seeing it rust in that field. Choas and the Quake was dumped months before Six Flags got out of their lease. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 My official guess for the coaster is going to be an El Loco by S & S. http://www.engineeringexcitement.com/rides/coasters/el-loco Quote
Aaron88stang Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 My official guess for the coaster is going to be an El Loco by S & S. http://www.engineeringexcitement.com/rides/coasters/el-loco I was thinking the same thing. 1 Quote
sccard01 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 I am still rolling with something from Intamin or Premier Rides Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I am still rolling with something from Intamin or Premier Rides I wonder if they could even get anything from Intamin for that type of budget? Quote
