We need some new body slides, and possibly a water coaster. What Boomerang Bay REALLY needs is a ride similar to Hidden Rapids at The Beach Waterpark! That attraction is my favorite one there lol

    But the point being made was that Cedar Point didn't install clones of rides at other parks. Not only did they install MaXair after Delirium, Cedar Fair executives came to what was then Paramount's K

    I would think that would all depend on what provisions are in the Kinzels' respective contracts. If anyone could look me in the eye and somberly attest that Barton Kinzel is the most qualified perso

So as people think about a rumored BB upgrade, they'll start getting their hopes up for a water coaster, new slide complex, etc... Somewhere in this thread are hints toward a 2nd Wave Pool - be prepared for disappointment.

Also, as you look at the map and layout of BB, it is already fairly long, so expansion may be in an unexpected direction - parking lot?

Turns out the mystery present to Snoopy was cookies.

Anyone know for sure when the Announcement is going to be? BB expansion with a new wave pool??? <_<

Aaaaaaand Lance Hart does it again:

icon_STOP.gif2012 - Boomerang Bay Expansion - Rumor - (8/9/11) In a strange move, I'm told that Kings Island's big makeover for Boomerang Bay may be more in name only and not so much on the attraction side of things. Yep… even though the park's last big expansion saw the new name of Boomerang Bay put on it, now I'm told they will likely rename the park as Soak City. As far as the expansion / upgrade goes, the only new attraction I'm aware of so far will be a new large wave pool. I'd hope for more slides to be added, but dropping in a wave pool by itself seems to fit the Cedar Fair pattern from the past few years where they did the same thing to Carowinds and Valleyfair. (I'm thinking these kinds of projects help pay for themselves right away, because with new wave pools comes prime real estate to put down private cabana rentals, which have been a top priority for waterparks in general the past few years as they are fetching a huge premium price from guests willing to pay for private access into a simple "tents".

I'm really, REALLY hoping they don't change the name to Soak City. That's about as generic a name/theme as one can get. Say what you will about a second wave pool possibly being the only new thing installed, but I don't want to see the Aussie theme get axed for a generic setup just to make it look like every other park in the chain (although Paramount did the exact same thing in redoing the water parks to become Boomerang Bay).

They could just go behind the Kings Waffle House and pick up the slides in that field over there.

A new wave pool with a 100' tsunami like Typhoon Lagoon would be kewl.

Pretty sure they are just taking what people say on KIC and putting it on screamscape...

That seems like its true.

One day we should put something absolutely absurd and see if he follows up on it...biggrin.gif

But, then if someone who hasn't been to the park before, may read that and get their hopes up for something. Only to get it crushed.

What if Boomerang Bay got a 300ft water coaster?! But instead of going up a lift hill it launches you using LIMs!! THAT WOULD BE INSANE!! It seems like they might build that.

(waiting for Lance....)

Nah, Screamscape is a cool site. I won't pick. :)

Has KI said the date of the AA?

I have wondered why there is not a launched water coaster. If the use LIMs out on the course why not use them on the lift hill?

There's a water blaster coaster, which is basically the LIM of water coasters.

I don't wanna ruffle feathers...but please by all means...wait until we hear from Kings Island execs before delving into the "what might it be" thing. Thanks.

Off topic, but I love the new skin!

(This might be on Screamscape in an hour) :lol:

But no, I really do like Screamscape, nothing personal...

300ft water coaster

Man, that'd be one short coaster! :)

Excuse me, 300ft tall water coaster. :lol:

I honestly don't see much going to KI this off-season. Other than some maintanance and maybe a flat or something like that..
