Original Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ^Agreed. I'd like a connecting pathway between Action Zone and X-Base, like many on here. You mind reader! I was going to say that. I would love for this to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahank Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Here's a general topography of the area from Google Earth: While it's tough to see, the track on the middle-right side of the picture is Adventure Express and the shadowy building in the distance is FOF. Now, unless you want to want to walk down and up that big downgrade, I wouldn't want a path going down that way. Plus, it would subtract even more from Adventure Express's experience. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Christopher Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ^I hope you're Just Kidding. ( ) I'm really not. Aside from the obvious terrain issues that would add to the overall cost and the fact that its way too long, there are access roads that would need to be re-routed. The service point going from the bottom of the hill (where guests would queue up for Trail of Terror) would have to go all the way around Dinosaur's Alive, the nearest adjacent point being the fireworks site. Not to mention, maintenance crews would have a difficult time getting their vehicles into areas such as Firehawk, Flight of Fear, The Racer, Adventure Express, and Delirium while the park is open since there is a path blocking them in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 They could just add a stop sign like they have at the entry point for dinos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortexfan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Maybe....? Do you realize how long this path would be?? Exactly! You'd be able to get to X-base in the same amount of time by going around through Coney Mall. Why anyone would think this is a good idea is beyond me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well that path would certainly open up a "new area" I don't think they'd just put a path in to put a path in, but rather put a path in to take you along a new set of rides, games, shops, eateries, restrooms, etc.... Sure the earthwork would be costly, but if they ever want to use that land in that area, earth work is going to be required anyways, might as well start it in 2013 in anticipation of a couple big additions in 2014, 15, 16, etc.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I think the park could develop out into areas not previously thought of before. In 1972, who would have thought a major use of the train would be give people rides to a water park? Or, when they built the International Restaurant, would they ever have imagined that it would later be used for an event by a group of people that typed messages about Kings Island on a (probably not-yet-invented) personal computer?

DBInternational Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 I personally would love to see a new area. But I have no idea what they would do with it. Another safari area perhaps??? lol just kidding 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 ^According to your signature (You know what would make Kings Island the greatest park in the world? A whole area themed to Doctor Who ) An area of Doctor Who would make it the best park in the world. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCO Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 With the scale shown in that photo, it would literally be the length of Coney multiplied by 3. Thats gotta be at least half a mile. You need more paths feeding back into Coney and Action Zone. Otherwise its impractical, and stupid. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
