  • Well its been a fun one.. So long Starting to Decode 2014!

  • You know, I chuckle at this thread. The more I read it... which is pretty much daily now... the more I become amused. Why? It's a near carbon copy of about a dozen other threads related to KI throu

    For those waiting for when we'll announce what we're building for the future, you might want to grab yourself a Snickers bar. It's going to be awhile. We still have the majority of the 2013 season

Rumor has it Kings Island is getting a new ride.

Yeah, right. I'll believe it when I see it.

If only we had a topic to discuss amusement park zoning issues...

Edit: For the record, mulimann posted some great links, but maybe they'd be better here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27359-whos-going-to-other-parks/#entry514318

Now what was that about 2014?

I am totally down for Zoning.. In fact I am reading Mason's City Council Minutes. Now, just gotta make a trip to do a little building permit query, since Mason is in the last decade with no online permit system.

Perhaps they are that way for a reason??

Hey, so, just a few notes since the OP hasn't posted anything in awhile:

Q: Meeting up with friends?

Friends-tv-show-1-.jpg

A: Please discuss that in a meet up thread!

Q: Do you really like wearing jean shorts?

Jorts.jpg

A: Head to Kohl's next sale or start a thread about the fashion relevancy of "jorts."

Q: Questions about why Son of Beast closed?

Speculating and discussing what, if anything, is coming for 2014!?

THIS is the thread to do just that.

So let's stay on topic, shall we?

___________________________________________________________

About the bolt barn (can't quote, stupid mobile), I never knew that was there. It's amazing what a kid can learn when he listens (or read in this case).

My question is are the bolts still there?

When they were tearing down Son of Beast, the bolts that came off the ride were placed into barrels and hauled off presumably for scrap. I assume whatever was left in that barn was scrapped or kept depending if it could be used on other rides.

Like AZ Kinda Guy said, I assume that barn and that remaining stuff out there will be cleaned up once a new ride opens on that occupied spot even though by all indications it seems a new ride won't be going out that far. I'm surprised that they let so much stuff out there remain visible from the tower.

So it only took you 180 pages to start moderating this topic! :P Hope it cleans up a bit! haha

...I'm glad he's the park's spokesperson, compared to the people Paramount had.

Jeffrey Siebert is a class act and letting him get away was one of the biggest mistakes KI made.

Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't have much to do with KIC anymore. I'll step in when I get an abundant amount of texts/pms/facebook messages about something going haywire. If only the active staff stopped by more.

...I'm glad he's the park's spokesperson, compared to the people Paramount had.

And then there was David Mandt, Carolyn Boos, Bill Mefford and on and on (I didn't mention Barb Colnar did I? Imagine that...)

Don's good at what he does, but many of the Paramount people were, too. Look at where many of them are today.

Well I will most likely be wearing my Avenged Sevenfold t-shirt and white shorts (seems to be my favorite "KI outfit")

If yah see me, dont be shy and say hello.

okay will do (: ill most likely be wearing the jay bruce tshirt I get at the game saturday and shorts (: were going to CP next week! cant wait

This thread is starting to turn into OKiCupid. I love it.

If you don't know what OKCupid is, I'll tell you when you are older kids.

  • Strata- around 2,000 ft
  • 4-Dimensional- around 3,500 ft

While I was on Adventure Express I thought I saw an outline of another triangle footer...... Don't know 100% though. It wasn't near the other triangle footers either. There is a lot happening in that area

Does anyone else think they may build over Adventure Express? There is a huge area of trees behind AE's station that could be used as a lift hill. Also I think that because the lift hills direction puts the ride into AE's area unless it curves or something. I also will not judge what type of ride it is unless the footers get a lot more spread out than they are right now. How can you judge a rides type with the type of footers anyway? Just because Montu or Leviathan uses those type of footers doesn't mean that they use the same type of footers for every type of that coaster. I think our predictions are valid until we see the supports and track show up. Also didn't SFMM say the same thing (removing for future park expansion) when they removed Pysclone and Flashback? Stashua123 letting that off his chest. Just my opinion you can disagree if you want.-End of Predictions and ironies

I have a feeling catpohl is cdeq's friend. Help.

yes i am

They built over a coaster at Wonderland, so anything is possible.

With the way the footers are currently grouped, I'd be surprised if Project 2014 didn't in some way go over Adventure Express.

I agree tearing down Adventure Express would make sense but I don't think it will be that large.There are footers by Top Gun (Flight Deck) so it will most likely go that way

Who said tearing down AE would make sense, besides you?

And we lose the charm in Adventure Express...

In other news, Friends is a much better sitcom than Seinfeld and nobody can convince me otherwise!

The post before you talked about raising over AE, not razing AE.

sorry I thought build over meant to tear down

Here the thing I love how people on this website pound people.. For trying to be friendly and get to meet people who I talk to on this website

This is a place to discuss the topics. It is NOT a chatroom. If you consider that a pounding, so be it.
