SonofBaconator Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 ^ I think Kings Island shouldn't make any more sequel rides. Make a coaster and give it an original name. Son of Diamondback, for example, sounds terrible . Quote
savesonofbeastfb Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 The Worlds largest animatronic dinosaur is coming to KI! Again! Check it out! http://masonbuzz.com/2013/04/09/kings-islands-dinosaurs-alive-adding-worlds-largest-animatronic-dinosaur/ Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I would like to see the ROI on these new scenes at the end of the year. Do they really pull in more people, and repeat visitors? 1 Quote

Aaron88stang Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 So far, we know in 2013 KI will get: - More food improvement, including cheesecake. Yum! - Dinosaurs Alive expansion. - New shows, including a Rock n' Roll themed show. - Oktoberfest renovation (new Bier Garden). There may very well be more things announced, like more food options. So, in other words, we will be getting lots of new somethings! Did I miss something? What is this about a new Bier Garden? Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I believe it was announced earlier that they are remodling the back porch of Buba Gumps (Can't think of the current name) and making it into a Bier Garden. There are pictures on Kings Island's Twitter. 1 Quote
chimpy2000 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Is it completely insane to possibly have a.. sort of rebuild of Son of Beast, or really any wooden ride in the open space there? The only ones we have are beast and racer, and.. I dunno, I miss the SoB a lot. I don't know where I'm going with this, so can someone else finish my thought or me? I would like a new wooden roller coaster yes, it does seem like wooden coasters are making a come back in the theme park industry. I believe that with Cedar Fair, we may just get a roller coaster, but the chances of a wooden coaster is 1-(insert how many kind of coasters there are here) now and I don't think any "Son of Beast 2.0" or "The Revenge of the Son of Beast" would come out from such company. Sorry stalin, your idea is beginning to stall, and it may become spam. Haha.. I forgot I changed my picture. I thought you were just calling me Stalin Quote
stashua123 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 It's hanks back porch turning into a German Bier Garten! Edit: beat me too it Quote
Aaron88stang Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 It's hanks back porch turning into a German Bier Garten! Edit: beat me too it I totally missed that some how. Do you have a link? Quote
Jr for Birdy Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Maybe I shall check out Dinosaurs Alive this season,a six story dino has my attention. Quote

westcoaster Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 What I did notice, is Cedar Fair/Kings Island, and the other Cedar Fair parks with dino attractions even though its a pay attraction its a wonderful deal: That is for sure! Heres a competitor price for a family of 4 you are talking about 74.00 kids cost more, Keep adding stuff to Kings Island dino attraction; http://www.blinkcloudservices.com/Live%20Sites/Bstar/Default.aspx?SiteID=2832&PageID=lasvegas#Anyday Quote
medford Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I like how the press release on KI says Dinos Alive allows vistors to "literally" step back in time. I'm pretty sure they mean figuratively, otherwise lines to get into KI are going to be extremel long. 2 Quote
CedarPointer Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Maybe Cedar Fair invested in a TARDIS or two. 4 Quote
74Gibson Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I'm very excited. The dines are a big hit with my family and I don't mind the up charge. We can't afford it every time but my 4 yr old simply loves those dinos. 1 Quote
Browntggrr Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 The dines are a big hit with my family and I don't mind the up charge. Many must agree with you or the expense of adding more Dinos would not be done. 1 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 So I must've been gone or something - when was the live entertainment for this year released? I see it on Kings Island's website, now I'm wondering if anyone said anything about it. Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Glad to see a Bier Garten in that spot once again. The place didn't have an upbeat vibe, and was mostly a ghostown. That location is valuable and has so much potential Still looking forward to trying Hank's this season after seeing it mentioned on here! 2 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 What are the chances that we see the eagles soar at KI once again? Quote
BB1 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 What are the chances that we see the eagles soar at KI once again? The same chances of that we may know how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop. The world may never know 2 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Are flying scooters still in production? Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Yes. But not by the same company. The new ones can be found at Indiana Beach, Camden Park, .... 1 Quote
Snowman Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 KI can now boast world's largest Dinosaur......and world's longest walk from a coaster to a bathroom. 3 Quote
KingsIsland vs. Cedarpoint Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 KI can now boast world's largest Dinosaur......and world's longest walk from a coaster to a bathroom. you have to love the exercise! 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Get thee to Marineland. Just to name one. Quote
malem Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 According to the new season pass page, gold and platinum passholders get a flat 10% discount on food & merchandise this year, in addition to other "money-saving offers". https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2013-season-passes/3-great-pass-options Via Twitter (https://twitter.com/KingsIslandPR), it looks like we have at least one more surprise yet this off-season: "Like" us on Facebook at (link) to receive instant park news, including this Wednesday at 11am EST. And hopefully tweeted at that time too, for those who don't look at facebook.com every 28 seconds. Hoping for yet more food options! 2 Quote
Hendrick Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 According to the new season pass page, gold and platinum passholders get a flat 10% discount on food & merchandise this year, in addition to other "money-saving offers". https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2013-season-passes/3-great-pass-optionsI like how all the passes say Dorney. 1 Quote
malem Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 ^ That artwork is more amusing when you consider that Dorney doesn't even have gold passes. (along with Cedar Point and Michigan's Adventure) Quote
kblanken Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 https://www.visitkingsisland.com/2013-season-passes "on more than 20 rides and attractions including Millennium Force, Raptor, and more" The 10% discount might not be for Kings Island. Quote
Jr for Birdy Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Are we getting Funperks at Kings Island again this year? I hope so,it gives me an excuse to say," But honey,we have to get ice cream, it adds up our Funperks"! 3 Quote
