medford Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 the problem w/ Shaggy's layout (which I think would make great use of the land) is that the ride would potentially (likely?) have to be shut down anytime timberwolf is in use. Now, as far as I know, that is only 1 time a year (the jesus rock festival). I know the Jesus Rock Festival (sorry, can't think of the exact name) is popular w/ those that attend, and IIRC, I've read that it draws pretty strong crowds, but still, one area that big for 1 weekend a year? Seems like a waste of space/resources unless that festival is bringin in a bunch of revenue compared to the cost of upkeep in the area. So w/ apologies to those that love that weekend, my proposal would be to take the layout that shaggy presents while taking out timberwolf at the same time. In the meantime, I'd turn the timberwolf area into an island like experience, w/ a moat/pond sorrounding the area. I'd combine the water features into ride overs for the new coaster, then I'd take the Island and add another "young riders area" I'd turn Planet Snoopy into an area ideally serving kids 40" and under, while turning this new area into an experience for kids 42" - 48" and their parents. I'm thinking the return of the flying eagles, a junior coaster type ride (kind of like how Flying Ace Ariel Chase is 44" requirement), etc... then w/ my mind on the future, I'd take the walkway behind delerium, along w/ the removal of the go karts to creat a path back to a new area of King's Island that could utilze the land around and behind SOB.

Browntggrr Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Make it a win/ win for everyone. Luminosity is fantastic. Clear Timberwolf, get a new stage for Luminosity, use the same stage for the small handful of yearly events. And no, do not shut down the coaster when the stage is being used.

TheCrypt Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The Flying Eagles deserve much more than to be put into "Kiddy Land". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Perhaps I didn't state if properly, but I'm not thinknig about a "kiddie land" like Planet Snoopy per say, but an area with a group of attractions good for the 42" - 48" and above crowd. I would think a flying eagle type ride would work great in that area as its a ride the whole family could ride. But any rate, tggrr makes a great observation. I have little doubt that Luminosity is heading KI's way. Revamp/upgrade timberwolf for the luminosity stage, then any new rollercoaster running behind it could implement lights to interact with the luminosity experience. Makes a whole lot of sense from multiple angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 You know what *I* think, Flying Eagles sound like a great addition to Coney Mall. But that may just be me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Take out the go-karts and use that area for a station. behind Delirium for brake/ queue for a coaster. And make the entrance walkway on the other side of the bathrooms. Flight Deck needs some possibility to be seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 My ideal Action Zone redo would be them tearing out the water tower and area where the circular target design is on the concrete and putting in a fountain, or trees and grass, or both. Making Timberwolf a luminosity stage. Put an Intamin Blitz coaster in, with the station where the go-carts are, with the ride travelling toward part of the Son of Beast Area. Then, they should make a new area extending out to where the rest of Son of Beast is at. I made this on paint to show what I mean. Water tower area removed, replaced with trees. Neon green section would be new area of park, and I also used Maverick to show where I would want the Intamin Blitz coaster 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoaster Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I feel as much as I hate pay for attractions in parks the cars will be there for a while, as it makes extra income. Love the thoughts of a timberwolf used for a show! Also need flying eagles back, I feel even rivertown and Action Zone could use family rides.

Titan Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yeah I always hated when areas would have a dead end. I like it when the park is one big loop and you can go into another area without having to walk back through the one you're in. But it's still a great idea, if only it could connect to X-Base. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustbucket Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I hope and pray we don't get a B&M Giga. I just don't see the point. We have Diamondback, I just don't think we need bigger Diamondback. Now an Intamin Giga... I'd take one of those happily in a heartbeat. But you'd not see me show up on opening day and wait in a 5 hour line for a ride we essentially already have. That is completely false. Behemoth and Leviathan provide completely different ride experiences. I have ridden each of them at least 25 times and can say that Behemoth and Diamondback are very similar rides. Leviathan is completely different. This ride is more of a twister with occasional airtime (extremely strong floater air). Think Millennium Force with much, much stronger airtime. This is most unique B&M coaster I have been on. Diamondback, Intimidator and Behemoth are airtime machines. Think smoother versions of Magnum XL-200. To be honest, I prefer Intamin Hyper/Giga coasters. A giga version of Bizarro would be perfect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.S.Coasters Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 At this point I want an Intamin Giga more than anything else. Intimidator 305 rocketed up to the top 3 of my list the first time I rode it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it and it looked like poo... so i just took leviathan's track layout, edited it and stuck it there.

TheCrypt Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 If they didn't clear cut, I'd be all for it (maybe some minor track adjustments, so it's not an exact replica of Leviathan)! Plus, plant trees between that, Adventure Express, and Flight Deck, I'd be super happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdawg1998 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 If I were Kings Island, I wouldn't name it Mammoth because of Holiday World. Still, there's no reason why they couldn't. Let's start a rumor that Kings Island is building a new coaster called Mammoth... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
