upstop Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Thank you jasondropzone.....some people take this stuff waaaaaaaay too seriously!
jasonondropzone Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I was just like "Come on, is it that hard? We've had someone mention camping, noises, etc.!"
dr_humor Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I actually enjoyed the diversion, upstop...it made me laugh. Even if it was just laughing on the inside. 1
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I don't for one moment believe this is going to be a dive coaster. A dive machine would be a welcome addition to say X-base, but otherwise not the best way to use the large plot of land that was occupied by SoB imo.
Colonel_SoB_fan Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I don't for one moment believe this is going to be a dive coaster. A dive machine would be a welcome addition to say X-base, but otherwise not the best way to use the large plot of land that was occupied by SoB imo. Why not a dive machine plus a new area? The new ride does not need to take up all of SoB old land. 2
McSalsa Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Wait a second...what if this isn't a roller coaster at all being built, but some sort of water ride? Those can have footers, too... Or...Intamin Aquatrax. Half coaster, half water ride, 100% soaking wet fun. McSalsa, who knows nothing and is just throwing everything at this, hoping something sticks... 2
Hoeter Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I'm thinking a lot of people will be upset if we end up getting a ride like Shoot The Rapids at Cedar Point... 1
Coaster.Rider.Kings Island Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 A water ride would be okay, but I don't think it is what Kings Island needs.
jdawg1998 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 A water ride would be okay, but I don't think it is what Kings Island needs. No - it actually wouldn't be okay. And it's definitely not what Kings Island needs. Three is enough. 2

Big Sexy Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Wild thornberries in the back along with whitewater canyon and congo falls upfront. All you need.
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I'm no expert on dive coasters, but why is it automatically assumed that one would be short? Have all of them been short with boring layouts or something? Is there no room for innovation there? 2
Big Sexy Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 due to the bulkiness of the trains they are not very nimble.
McSalsa Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 For those who do not know, a link to today's announcement: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27456-dive-in-movies/ Well, screw my wet ride theory. Unless they plan on building B&M's answer to Intamin Aquatrax...a dive machine with a 300'+ drop AND a soaking wet splashdown finale...aka, one that actually soaks you! (Would that count for innovation?)
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Maybe a small coaster and family fun rides. I think there is room for a family fun ride next to Back Lot Stunt Coaster.
gingerkid Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 I would absolutly hate to see another new "family coatser" that is only 30 seconds long. Please KI I hope this is a long one...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 And not a family coaster, lol So then am I the only one hoping for GrandSon of Beast?
Coaster.Rider.Kings Island Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 How can there be a grandSon of Beast, if Son of Beast is dead.
dumakey1212 Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 How can there be a grandSon of Beast, if Son of Beast is dead. Hey, it could've produced young spawn before it died? If the kids get rougher as the lineage goes along, I'm sure we'll all be dead by the first rides on Project 2014.
Browntggrr Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 How can there be a grandSon of Beast, if Son of Beast is dead.It's called a one night stand. 9
TheCrypt Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I would absolutly hate to see another new "family coatser" that is only 30 seconds long. Please KI I hope this is a long one...What was the last family coaster added that was 30 seconds long?

Please KI I hope this is a long one...What was the last family coaster added that was 30 seconds long?Top GunInvertigo I think they are a waste of money...I like them but they are to short. I'm not saying they are bad rides...don't get me wrong, I like long roller coasters...
jdawg1998 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Invertigo is a family coaster? And it's more than 30 seconds long. 5
calakapepe Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I agree we have enough short rides. Flight Deck Invertigo Back lot Stunt Track Firehawk All awesome, but... sometimes a drag if there's a long wait. 1
Browntggrr Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Neither the ride formerly known as Top Gun or the ride currently known as Invertigo are 30 seconds long. They are 1:52 & 1:30 respectively. That said, your opinion of what is a waste of money is another's dream ride, first ride, or simply still fun for many of us. 16
