RollerCoasterHunter Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hello, I am new to KICentral and this is my first post. Please, no bad comments. So, on topic. What do you want for Kings Island next year? A Ride, a roller coaster, or anything else an amusement park should have? You decide in the poll above. I would want a new roller coaster, possibly a giga-coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 An operating season, for one. Can't go to Kings Island to ride whatever new attraction they have if it ain't open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Welcome to KIC! I voted a roller coaster because I want to see how the park can top Diamondback so I would have to say a giga too. But any new thing for next year would be fine with the way the new CEO is running things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 i think a zone change because Kings Island really needs to revitalize Action Zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Other, please! I would love love LOVE to see an increase in landscaping, music specific to each area (though with Oktoberfest, we might need some African music in there. Can't leave out another continent... ), refurbish and MAINTAIN Adventure Express theming, little more with Flight of Fear, et cetera. Let's focus on the broken things in the park, and fix and maintain them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI FANATIC 37 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Welcome to KIC! I chose a rollercoaster, preferably SoB. But we all know what the odds of that happening next year are.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan73 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think Kings Island should donate a dollar for each post in the SoB thread to charity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The start of revamp of Oktoberfest/Action Zone: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Well look at my profile picture, and you could tell . Basically a revamp of RT and OF area, i dont think KI will fly or die on SOB this upcoming season. EDIT: This should give you more insight on one of the things http://www.KICentral.com/bbay/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I voted a roller coaster because in an ideal world, that's what I want, which is what the poll is asking. However, if that were the case (especially if it were to be a big one) we probably would have seen signs of construction already. However, I also agree with Fire-Beast-OF FEAR in that I'll be happy with whatever we get. TheCrypt also has good ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I feel KI or Cf management in general is focusing more on atmosphere and over-all guest experience and I want that to continue more than I want a new ride. That said, I would love a Screamin Swing like Sky Hawk. The best thing they could do for me personally would be a Giga similar to i305 or a multi launch terrain hugger (like Maverick) going in and out of ravines. EDIT: Forgot to welcome RolerCoasterHunter. Hope you enjoy it here! which led to another want for KI... continual growth of this site, with quality content and friendly dialogue... whether we agree on the topic or not! There are many here I have come to respect, appreciate and enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's focus on the broken things in the park, and fix and maintain them. Lets start with the thing that can't be found on a park map 2010 or newer, has no ride name, located in Action Zone, and has a Halloween Haunt walk though in it's station. Still can't guess it, here is a hint: "Fire you SOB!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Well it happens to be broke, needs fixed, and poorly maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Before Kings Island gets ANYTHING new, they need to deal with the pile of crap rotting in Action Zone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrypt Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 ^^So we're not allowed to get new landscaping, or new theming? How about new food or paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'd like to see an Action Zone revamp, which includes having the park finally make a decision about Son of Beast. Three of the rides in AZ will be celebrating major anniversaries in 2013 - Congo Falls (25 years), Flight Deck (20 years) and Delirium (10 years), so it's time to give that area some much-needed attention. They could probably fit a good wild mouse coaster in where Thunder Alley is now, but taking out a pay-to-play attraction for one that's free just doesn't seem like something the park would do, no matter how little they're making from it.

TheCrypt Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) ^They didn't really do anything for Drope Zone / Drop Tower or Face/Off / Invertigo when they celebrated their 10th birthday. Edited June 27, 2012 by TheCrypt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That area needs a total face lift agreed, maybe incorporate it with Oktoberfest reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that, but with a different person in charge of things now, the past doesn't necessarily indicate what will happen in the future.

jbt Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wouldn't mind seeing a good dark ride. Emphasis on good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I would love a new flat ride or as others have said, sprucing up certain areas of the park. Of course I miss the ride theming, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I'd like to see a fun, nicely themed, water ride. I know KI already has three, but I think a nice relaxing, scenic water ride would be a nice family ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think most of us were madly in love with the 2011 season, where a mid-priced addition or two allowed room for small improvements, detail, landscaping, etc. We saw music back on many rides, a virtual head-to-toe refurbishment on Backlot Stunt Coaster, new effects on Flight of Fear, a noteworthy effort made on The Crypt, repainting Flight Deck... That did not go unnoticed, and I think those years should be 4:1 against large coaster additions that suck up the budget. That could also be bundled with the suggestions above for area-appropriate music, etc. I think Kings Island is almost afraid of being too upscale, afraid that having and marketing themed areas with appropriate food, music, shows and shopping might alienate the thrill-seeking crowd. Such a shame, because it can do marvelous things to market a park that way... As for what I'd like to see ride-wise, a clone of Curse of DarKastle or Verbolten in Oktoberfest would restore the German theme and convince me to renew my pass...
