Creed Bratton Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 My guess for 2013 is Luminosity and Action Zone re-theme/sprucing up. 2014 Giga. 5 Quote
DaveWorldEmperor Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Does anyone else think something like a dive machine would fit in well over where SOB is? I mean its alittle off the Action Zone, but it would definatly bring people to that side of the park. That side of the park will look empty in the skyline once that mamoth is gone, and something of similar size would fill the void. In my opinion dive machines look very impressive, and although their ride experience is not my favorite, the GP loves them and it would drawpeople to the park. 1 Quote
fanofFirehawk Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I agree I would love a dive machine and a record breaker one would be awesome, or a giga dive machine imagine that. I would always go for a giga too though. Quote
tuxedoman52 Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 I agree on putting a station there. Action Zone needs a coaster! (besides Invertigo) Quote

Creed Bratton Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Isn't flight deck just a nice little walk semi-behind scenes of Son of Beast? Quote
DaveWorldEmperor Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 After visiting the park yesterday, specifically visiting the Action Zone (something I usually don't do), I looked over into this area, glanced up at SOB, and then down at Thunder Ally. Then I really got to thinking about how they have to up something there soon, and with the rumors about them retiring TA with SOB, I thought of an awesome and at least semi practical idea for the park. I know I'm just dreaming, but I think that a B&M invert similar to Talon would fit in great there. Just make it taller, faster, and lengthen/modify the layout to fit the area. Paint it bright colors kind of like Talon's, give it some cool lighting, and add a flat spin (like Talons final element) right about where the entrance to TA is, but put it over a pool with colored fountains (similar to those on I. Street). It would fit the Action Zone really well and give it a breath of fresh air and along with a renovation/clean-up of the rest of the AZ, this would make that area really come back to life. Any thoughts? Quote
jdawg1998 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I don't get it when people say Action Zone has nothing.. Invertigo, Flight Deck, Delirium, Drop Tower, Congo Falls, Thunder Alley*...that doesn't seem like nothing to me. *maybe no more Quote
DaveWorldEmperor Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I never said the Action Zone has nothing, it actually has a lot, I'd say second to maybe the Coney Mall. But the Action Zone has nothing NEW. The last new thing there was Delirium right? And it seems as if every section of the park aside from the AZ has got some thing new in the past 10ish years (except maybe I. Street), and that leads to the area being over looked more or less. I think it's the Action Zones turn to get a new coaster to draw people to the area, clean it up, and make it look brand new. 1 Quote

You can't make it any better than that. 2 Quote
A.S.Coasters Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I agree on putting a station there. Action Zone needs a coaster! (besides Invertigo) Oktoberfest has one coaster. Action Zone has 2. I don't see why it needs something before Oktoberfest, when Action Zone's rides are newer too. 2 Quote
DaveWorldEmperor Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 I think Oktoberfest needs something, just not a coaster. A coaster wouldn't fit (unless we remove the pond and put in a dive machine with a splash down! (kidding)), but I agree, maybe like a new log flume behind Sling Shot by Adventure Express, just one that doesn't destroy the area(shoot the rapids). But the reason I think AZ needs something first is not only because the park needs a coaster, but AZ seems to be in a state of disrepair, or at least the paths and the general feel. Where as there may not be a whole lot in Oktoberfest, at least it feels clean and kept well. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 See Tower Gardens. Now THAT area IS sad. 3 Quote
DaveWorldEmperor Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Yes it is. It kind of breaks my heart walking though that "designated smoking area" after seeing its former beauty. But alas, I don't see that being changed Quote

KI FANATIC 37 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 My take on Oktoberfest is this, its more of a path way connecting Action Zone to Coney Mall. I know people probably hate hearing that but that is just my opinion. Out of every 5 visits I take to the park, I probably stop in Oktoberfest once. I personally beleive that it is one of the prettiest places in the park, just not much thrill; which is what I am looking for. I like it that way too. In my opinion, here are the real areas of the park: INternational Street, Planet Snoopy, AZ, Rivertown and Coney Mall. 2 Quote
kaitlinfree Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 i saw some of the stuff that you're talking about awhile on Delirium. but then soon realized it was what was left of king cobra... but brilliant idea.! it would be the perfect place for a giga. :3 Quote
KingsIsland vs. Cedarpoint Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 i really hope Kings Island puts in a giga in next 2-3years Quote
beastfan11 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Am I the only one who couldn't care less about getting a Giga? Even a coaster for that matter. The big bad coaster war is over, friends. Here's to a new dark ride in 2014! Wishful thinking... 11 Quote
Diamondbacker Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 ^Agreed. I'd like a connecting pathway between Action Zone and X-Base, like many on here. 3 Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 ^No one on here can grasp that a pathway from AZ to Xbase isn't practical because of.... Topography and Adventure Express. 5 Quote
westcoaster Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Okay, so I like the thought of a path between x base crossing under Adventure Express more rides back there to X BASE. 1 Quote
beastfan11 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I really don't think it's going to happen. Remember the picture of SOB in relation to the Eiffel Tower? That land is not path friendly.Granted, anything could happen, but that idea needs to just go away for a while. There are other issues to be dealt with. See: Large pile O' wood. Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 You know what land is also not path friendly? All of Holiday World! 2 Quote
beastfan11 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 You know what land is also not path friendly? All of Holiday World! Can't say I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Quote
TheCrypt Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Okay, so I like the thought of a path between x base crossing under Adventure Express Good luck with passing under a terrain hugger. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 NO NOT UNDER AE! That's part of the mystique. For most of the ride you can't see the path. (Until a wild FOF appears I spose) 3 Quote
ahank Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Putting a path underneath of Adventure Express? Is this Roller Coaster Tycoon? 8 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Putting a path underneath of Adventure Express? Is this Roller Coaster Tycoon? If this was rct, everyone would be walking like zombies. 3 Quote
