SonofBaconator Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Flight deck is the only coaster of it's kind at Kings Island. It's still greatly themed even after paramount sold KI and it has been a favorite of mine for years. I do often hear people complaining about the ride for the walk back there and how it was a "sorry excuse for a ride." Flight Deck has been a best class thrill ride for many years, so my question is, would they ever get rid of it? Quote
BB1 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 One day, it may become obsolete which it could be torn down. The area is so hilly, I do not believe that it would be taken out in the near future. Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Of course they will get rid of it eventually. Nothing lasts forever. Quote
Original Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 One day KI will run out of room and I think that will be the first to go. But It will take a long time since KI isnt even using all the land at this point. This gets me thinking... Quote
Jr for Birdy Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Dont think to hard,we will all be long gone the day KI runs out of room! 1 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 No one really realizes that besides woods, they use their coasters to perimeter the park, with the exception of Backlot Stunt Coaster and the Planet Snoopy coasters. 1 Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Flight Deck will be long gone before the park runs out of room. Quote
fanofFirehawk Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 If they are going to take out something in Action Zone we need to start by figure out what to do with "you know who/what". Quote

We'll I think that if they decide to get rid of Flight Deck than Son of Beast needs to be thrown out with it and if they decide to get rid of Son of Beast than Flight Deck needs thrown out too. Even though I would like to see SoB stay, I still think that with both of those coasters removed, it would make a big space for a future coaster or park area. Quote

westcoaster Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Flight Deck is a great coaster for KI just needs other rides in that area to help its cause!. Quote
HTCO Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Lets think business before enthusiast here. Does it break down often? Is it a coaster they can add to their count, for advertisements/website/ect. ? Are they loosing money with maintenance costs, and is it worth it compared to hourly capacity? Who knows. Until they find a good financial reason, other than "its just old", then it will stay. Quote
jdawg1998 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I swear, I think this "TheBEASTunchained" guy is mccarthysnerd. He capitalizes BEAST just like he did on mccarthsynerd's account, and uses the same grammar, spelling, etc. Or maybe I am just losing my mind. Edit: Sorry that was random, but I had to get it off my chest. Quote
dudecoasterman Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 ^ Speaking of which. What happened to mccarthysnerd? Did I miss something and he got banned? or does he just not come on anymore? Quote
jdawg1998 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 ^ Speaking of which. What happened to mccarthysnerd? Did I miss something and he got banned? or does he just not come on anymore? I think he got banned. Which is why I think that other guy is him! Quote
stashua123 Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 ^ Speaking of which. What happened to mccarthysnerd? Did I miss something and he got banned? or does he just not come on anymore? Been wondering the same thing Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I think he got Bannededed...ed. Wasn't he one of the "I KNOW ALL!!! but I can tell you. Soon, in 10 days, soon" guy? Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I use that when I have an -ed ending. Like Edit. I edited the paper, but I always say I editeded...ed the paper. Just my way of speaking if you will. 1 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Perhaps I should have clarified: It's not a "habit". I say it amoung friends for jokes. Please, I can speak properly...when I want to Quote
