What could have been.

[diamondhawk]

Okay, I was wondering, are there any rides that were thought about being added to KI but never were. Like I heard of the idea for Mrs. Puff's Boating School as a wild mouse. Is that one true and are there any other ones?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe both Mrs. Puff's Boating School and an Addams Family dark ride were both ideas tossed around by Paramount before deciding on IJ:ST.

EDIT: If you're interested about The Addams Family ride, there was some great discussion on this website back in 2005.

I think there were plans to add a Wayne's World section like that at KD and Carowinds but somehow the plans fell throgh.

There was others too like a new antique ride .... car wash I believe.

So much planned, hope we get two quality family dark rides, that would

put us over the top, with a year round schedule and Kings Island hotel.

The only plans I've heard that were decided against were to retheme Flight of Fear to MTV Soundwave... which, if I'm not mistaken, very nearly happened to Kings Dominion's Flight of Fear.

^It almost, almost did. FoF at KD closed for a while waiting for the renovation.

Iv'e also heard of all these. The Addams Family ride was supposed to be a Euroflighter I believe, that was supposed to be placed where BL:SC is now. Although I have also heard that if the coaster was completed then Diamondback may have never been built since the design went into the Swan Lake area.

Again, This is just coming off of what people have told me.

A Vekoma Flying Dutchman. Oh wait...

I have heard Wolf Pack was suppose to be called Son of Beast and have a loop. Now it is only open for just over a month

[Vortex]

Yogis cave and Barbies dream house at one time talked about.

[HTCO]

Also talks of 400ft Arrow hyper and 700ft Drop Tower themed to Pirates of the Caribbean.

No one really knows for sure what they were thinking. These ideas people are throwing at you are mostly old rumors.

This is one of the most interesting posts I've ever read about "what could have been" at KI...
