sccard01 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 a expanded Action Zone with one major new flat ride from huss and a new woodie. The park needs to expand the Action Zone out towards top gun IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Couldn't agree more! Imagine one of those rippin through the trees back by top gun! "Do they own that land between Top Gun and Great Wolf Lodge?" One of the things you noobies will learn about having harmonious interactions with the very knowledgeable, sometimes funny, and well connected long time posters here is that you should take the time to learn the current names of our parks coasters. I would tell you what the current name of this coaster is, but that would prevent you from learning about the magical function of searching. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman12 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I like to call it Top Gun. The ride was better when it was Top Gun so I'm calling it Top Gun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 How was Flight Deck's ride experience different than when it was Top Gun? All you miss are the props and the big billboards that said "TOP GUN SPONSORED BY GILETTE." I could just imagine the slogan "WELCOME TO TOP GUN, Kings Island'S ONLY GILETTE COASTER!" It's the same ride, just some minor stuff was removed. Who cares? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I like to call it Top Gun. The ride was better when it was Top Gun so I'm calling it Top Gun. So when the ride name changed, the ride itself changed?I learned something new today! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Whatever you want to do rainman2 (sorry, but I liked you better when you went by a different name) Look, I'm just trying to help you new posters from being hated on by the long time loyal KIC members. I defended noobs on another thread and I'm just trying to help you all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman12 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It was red. That's my only thing to say I guess, I really liked the movie and the theming they did for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It was a couple colors under "Top Gun", not just red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 cheetah hunt was way better, at least they had an inversion. An inversion doesn't necessarily make a ride better. I've always loved the roll into the launch on that ride. Seems like a great way to build anticipation as you go around that turn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dill Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yup your right I fixed it. And it's themed around different countries but that ride is just based on a sports car that goes for a cruise and ends up in a "black forest" with a freefall drop and two launches. Very fun, way better than Flight of Fear Maybe the ride is better (but no quick launches IT APPEARS, no inversions?), but Verbolten doesn't have an amazing on-ride soundtrack! I think there's a few inversions inside the building, at least it sure feels like it. Could just be the INSANE G's. And it does have two launches but I don't think they go as fast as FOF... But with all that, who's to say we couldn't add an awesome soundtrack and make it better?! And if we were to get something like that I would hope for a more exciting outside section... Even though the inside pretty much blows your mind haha! Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastrider97 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 ^Verbolten has no inversions in the show building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I always like to imagine if BLST took verbolten's technology of a drop track where the second launch is. That'd require a redesign of the second half, but it was a nice thought, to me. ^^ But I think a bit of an expansion will take place and a steel coaster will take SOB's place. Though, I would love a nice woodie, get someone good at it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Flight Deck, Top Gun, doesn't matter to me, I still call the Scooby Doo Beastie as oppossed to Woodstock express or whatever the name was inb/w. W/o knowing the exact property line, I took to google map and notice a security fence lining the south side of columbia road and what appears to be a gate cutting across the last entrance to the back of Great Wolf Lodge and the rest of Columbia that takes you into the park (behind timberwolf) The green houses are back in this area, which I assume they still own, the old ride (sign, trams, etc...) graveyard is back there, which I also assume they own. There is also what appears to be the layout for part of KI campground. So If I use that, I assume they own the land b/w Top Gun Flight Deck and columbia road just south of Great Wolf Lodge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The land to the north goes beyond the park's nursery to the bus garage for the high school and down to the river. You can also see the former camp grounds over flow lot along the old Columbia Road, which runs north with the GWL on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 KI does not need another Huss Flat Ride, they have too many issues with the ones they have/had. Skylab, The Crypt, Delirium, and Shake Rattle and Roll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiPugs Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 KI does not need another Huss Flat Ride, they have too many issues with the ones they have/had. Skylab, The Crypt, Delirium, and Shake Rattle and Roll. Really problems with Shake Rattle and Roll? I do believe it has been there since the mid 70's, The other 3 yes.

BeastForever Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think that either an Intamin Blitz, Intamin Giga, or B&M Dive-Machine will take Son of Beast's place. Perhaps maybe a Screamin' Swing will also be included in the "future park expansion". But I don't really know; anything could happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 cheetah hunt was way better, at least they had an inversion. So I guess Son of Beast was better than The Beast (pre neuter), because it had a loop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
