bengalsguy23 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Didn't see this posted anywhere (correct me if i'm wrong) but on Kings Islands whats new page at the bottom there is Dinosaurs Alive with a caption that says this: More details to come, but the World's Largest Animatronic Dinosaur Park will be even bigger in 2013. Don't miss your chance to step back in time during your visit to Kings Island next season.

If so, then no, you are correct. If you were asking whether you saw it posted anywhere, I don't know if you saw that it was already posted in the new for 2013 thread.

Mr. Christopher Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 with my obsession with messing with google maps I did a perimeter of my theroy of what Cedar Fair will do for Kings Island's DA Quoted Image Or something like this.. Keep it a theory because I don't see it happening. Honestly, this update to Dinosaurs Alive could be nothing more than a few more animatronics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Perhaps Cedar Fair's most beloved historic dinosaur will be memorialized in this latest addition. Terp, trying to be good... If trying to keep with being authentic, it wouldn't be tall enough, loud enough, or scary enough - however, you'd have the wealthiest dinosaur ever!

TombRaiderFTW Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 ^ On the contrary--wouldn't the Kinzelsaurus be the tallest and fastest dinosaur in the country? I'd guess we'll see the Flame-osaurus Rex from 2011 finally appear in the trail, along with some modifications of the existing animatronics to keep it fresh. If they do any additions, it'll probably be in the trees circled by the current path. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your just joking about the concession stand, but it got me thinking......... It would be kinda neat if KI built a sit down restaurant back there and themed it along the lines of dinos and/or jungle theme. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBEW_Sparky Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 You would have to also bring the admission price to $11.50 per ticket to make the newly installed Dickosaurus happy. Oh.. and "Flame-osaurus Rex" literally had me nearly falling off my sofa laughing!! :lol: Sparky, still giggling as I type. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kblanken Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Please see T-Rex Cafe, Disney World for more information on the subject. That has to more immersive than our Coneysaurus Rex. For next year, what about Steakasaurus at the cheesesteak place, or Bratosaurus in the german cafe... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe just a few signs, with a few more elephant ears, maybe someone who was from the Coney Island era roaming around being a dinosaur, saying "Rawr, I'm a dinosaur". (pun intended) The more that I think of it, the last time I have heard these jokes, I fell off my dinosaur. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 In all seriousness, after studying the Google Maps image, a coaster installation that ties in with DA isnt that far-fetched at all. Have the station in the general area between/behind AE and FoF, with it travelling southeast alongside Firehawk, with an overbank turn across the service road where the boneyard currently is. I could see it being a wing-rider with the name Pterodactyl or something of that sort. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I don't think we will get coaster but maybe flat which I think is more reasonable for a payper ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it still is far-fetched. Looking at an aerial map and realizing there's open space somewhere doesn't make it any less unlikely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Having over 11 years of commercial construction experience as a Union Journeyman Electrician (as my name alludes) and I am quite aware of what is involved with the logistics of clearing an area that has a large amount of trees, and possibly less-than-ideal topographical conditions. I was, and still am, referring to the possibility of placing a coaster in that area. They did it with Beast in 1979, they sure as H**l can do it there in 2012/13/14. Would it be an EASY undertaking? Not really, and with the much more clear area where SOB used to reside, it is not likely. THAT part of your statement I will agree with. Im truly not trying to be a jerk-off here (there are three too many of those on this site as it is), but I have read enough of your previous posts that I feel I am justified in making a statement about the lack of tact in a good number of them. Now, if you are, or were in some way connected with the park or the industry (which I have a feeling you are, due to who I think you may be and simply using a newly created profile/username) then stating such would go a long way in solidifying your credibility, as I did in the beginning of my post. I truly do apologize if I am seeming to come off harsh, and I could possibly be reading too much into the statement due to the inherent lack of ability to read emotion/intent in a written word as opposed to a spoken one, but I simply had to get it off my chest and out in the open. I would also like to reply to CoasterGeeks statement, and say that COULD possibly be avoided by creating a path to access the ride without actually going through the DA attraction. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I would love to see some new dinosaurs, or maybe some new theming to make it seem like you're actually in prehistoric times. When I went through it I was disappointed because of the huge spaces between dinosaurs and the lack of prehistoric-like theming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
