SonofBaconator Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Do you think that they are done putting new rides in River town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Done? In what way? 5, 10, 20 years from now? If the park continues to stay open for decades to come, then I'm sure each "area" will get new rides or attractions. Are they done for the next few years? Maybe... But will Rivertown look the same in 5 years, much less 50? Don't count on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkroz Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 At some parks, the trees (and flowers, plants, waterfalls, pools, and Gardens) are indeed a major attraction factor! I would very much approve... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well, a part of River town was originally in kiddie land where the log flume is. What I'm saying is that they have Diamondback, The Beast, the Miami Valley Railroad and White Water Canyon so they don't really have enough room to add a new ride. Even if they demolished Crypt, they would still have barley any space to work with to build a new ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Before Diamondback, would you have imagined that a B&M hypercoaster could've fit comfortably in Rivertown? And even then, the plot of land that The Crypt is on could very easily hold LARGE flat rides. An S&S Screamin' Swing... A suspended HUSS Top Spin placed in a highly detailed set... An antique car ride... Parks have done a lot more with a lot less. Did you know Disneyland is 85 acres? Kings Island is nearly 400...

I would very much approve... It looks bad when a park has no trees. It takes away from the scenery. I've been to a fair amount of parks that don't have surrounding trees and they all looked pretty tacky. you don't just have to think about thrills, you have to think of how it fits the surrounding scenery.

SonofBaconator Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well Cedar Point doesn't really have much tree scenery because it's cramped with rides. Even when you go to their Dinosaurs Alive, you can't really feel like you stepped back 65 million years in a forest theme when Millennium Force goes right over your head.

BB1 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Well we are getting a new haunt in the box of FUN so..... Revamps, maybe a wild west show, hopefully some sort of ride like the one of fire in a building, in a Tennessee place....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 That's the last thing we need is to have to yell fire in that building. Then it'd be an actual Crypt... People seem to forget the large swath of land White Water Canyon's queue line resides in. While severing the lengthy forested queue from the ride in favor of a clone of Jungle Cruise's indoor switchback sounds like grounds for the KI Facebook community to bear arms at the very mention of deforestation (of which they instantly had no problem with Swan Lake's demise after it was announced a Beemer were to dance upon its grave), I believe there to be more than enough space for a few flat rides, beautiful scenery, and a chance for that hidden lake in-betwixt WWC and the railroad to be seen in its full glory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoaster Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 My big thought is does Cedar Fair/ kingsisland want to even add on to Rivertown, they could do a bunch of cool additions without touching The Beast, and I feel just adding 2 flats would help a bunch!

SonofBaconator Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 What I like about the park the best is that they use the coasters as a perimeter to the park with the exception of Backlot Stunt Coaster. So i don't think that they won't put in anmything big in river town because Diamondback and The Beast are already crowding the area to build a new ride there besides Crypt.

beastrider97 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 As long as an expansion does not disrupt the setting of The Beast, I would be all for expanding back into that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 1 area that you don't have is the "small" circled area to the left of Diamondback. That is White Water Canyon's resovoir that cannot be taken out (but it can be moved). Also, I would love for it to not disrupt The Beast. I'm a bit saddened every time I see Vortex, Diamondback, etc at the top of The Beast's 2nd lift. I wish those trees would grow faster! What I like about the park the best is that they use the coasters as a perimeter to the park with the exception of Backlot Stunt Coaster. So i don't think that they won't put in anmything big in river town because Diamondback and The Beast are already crowding the area to build a new ride there besides Crypt. What does that make The Racer or Great Pumpkin Coaster? Or even Surf Dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 All for a real rivertown expansion, and brought back to its former and future glory, but without at all possible not to disrupt The Beast area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
