DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Cedar Fair is not concerned with nearby parks "rivaling" each other within their chain, especially when it comes to roller coaster make/models. Cedar Point and Kings Island draw from very different markets, Kings Island from the tri-state and Cedar Point from the lower great lakes, and that's excluding Cedar Point's destination park aspect over Kings Island's regional size. When FUN puts a coaster in at Cedar Point, I highly doubt they worry about it affecting Kings Island's annual draw, or vice versa. When it comes to regional competition, FUN would be better off concerning themselves with parks from other owners. Kings Island stands more to lose from Holiday World than it ever will from Cedar Point. This got me thinking; what's keeping Kings Island from being bigger than Cedar Point?

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 In what way? Not literally, as I believe it already is; but Cedar Point is considered Cedar Fair's flagship park. What's so great about CP? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayzayd13 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 With the recent teases involving owls and the "No Camping" signs pointing to a potential forest-themed attraction, I am now thoroughly convinced that these guys: ...aren't scarecrows. They're woodsmen. The name is actually meant to describe the sport seen in lumberjack competitions, but either way goes. And while plenty of axe-wielding maniacs in lumberjack garb have terrorized campers and unsuspecting passersby in pop culture over the past several decades, I think there is one in particular dangerous and legendary enough to warrant a ride named after him - The Huntsman. Anyone who has either read the fairy tale of and/or has seen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs remembers the Evil Queen ordering a huntsman to take Snow White out into the forest and kill her, bringing back her heart as proof. Thankfully, and in the spirit of a happy ending, the huntsman lets Snow White free and brings back a pig heart instead. But what if it were the opposite, and the huntsman actually succeeds in 86ing 'Ol White-As-Snow and, overcome with blood-lust, stays in the forest to prey upon more victims? Thanks. Someone agrees with me about a Woodsman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Based on the interviews I have seen of him, Matt Ouimet did say he would love it if all the major Cedar Fair parks (Kings Island included) had an on-site hotel, campsites, etc. as they have proven to be good money makers at Disney (where Ouimet worked pre-CF) and Cedar Point, but the money to do this for all the parks just is not there right now. However, it could be something we see happen at KI and other large Cedar Fair parks in the future... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A family spends hardly nothing at KI. So like Cedar Point is a destination park, but Kings Island isn't. Could that possibly change? And if so, how so?

Zayzayd13 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 What's paranormal about a woodsman? Who/what said anything about 'paranormal'. A evil phenomenon and something that is paranormal are two different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So like Cedar Point is a destination park, but Kings Island isn't. Could that possibly change? And if so, how so? Market in different markets. The KI/CP combo ticket is a very good example of this. Adding on-site lodging like a camp ground to promote extended stays wouldn't hurt either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
