PKICoasterFreek Posted February 15, 2003 Author Posted February 15, 2003 I know this wasn't a choice but what about a flying coaster like Stealthat Paramounts Great America! That would be somthing differant at PKI. Here is another idea, what about a coaster like Hypersonic XLC or Volcano at Paramounts Kings Dominion that would be fun too!Those are some suggestions!!! PKI Rocks!!!!!!!
EnterTheVortex Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 Yeah i like the idea of the Hypersonic XLC or even Volcano for that matter. Good thinking CoasterFreek
bitemeboi Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 A B&M flyer would be great....but PKI doesn't do business with B&M
Beastfreak Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 Just because they have never built a B&M doesn't mean they never will. The other Paramount Parks have B&M rides. Its only a matter of time before KI does as well.
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 16, 2003 Author Posted February 16, 2003 That is true, I think have in A B&M coaster would be a really good investment for PKI in the future! Just a thought!
EnterTheVortex Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Other companies make flying coasters too.
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 That is true other companies can or could make flying coasters!!!!
Beastfreak Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Yeah other companies make flyers but the vekoma flyer has proved itself oh so worthy. You probably won't see many more of them unless vekoma really re-engineers them and can give the same level product as b&m.
teenageninja Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Well KI would probably be able to get a really good price on a Giga I'm sure. KI hasn't done business with B&M it's just the fact that they haven't. They haven't felt the need too. I'm sure they have considered them for a coaster before. Vekoma makes flyers and KI was supposed to get one. The failure of Stealth got us Runaway Reptar. I would still like to see something 220+. Hopefully we will next year if not we'll get a B&M I think. We'll get something really good next year.
Coasterfan Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Ya a 220'+ would be cool. Espesially if it was a stand-up!
bitemeboi Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 How about a launched 4D coaster arrow is tryin to find someone to build it...now wouldn't that be sweet??
teenageninja Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 I think a 220 stand up would be quite painful. About the launched 4D, I think PKI would like to get something proven to be fairly reliable *cough Intamin hyper cough* and with the 4D AND TA2K both being really unreliable I just can't see it.
Coasterfan Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Ridler's Revenge at SFMM is taller than Vortex. Surely PKI, a park that has made so many firsts could find a way to make a stand-up taller.
teenageninja Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 I am sure it is possible, but it would pull alot of g's I'm just saying. Also it's not always bigger better. I think it would also hurt your family jewels.
Coasterfan Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Not really. One of the other Paramount parks has a Drop Tower where there's only like a bicycle seat between your legs. So if they could do it with a Drop Tower where there's nothing under you feet surely they could do it with a stan-up coaster.
Captain Picard Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 can you stand with nothing under your feet that would be a floorless i like that idea
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 17, 2003 Author Posted February 17, 2003 why don't we just get a floorless coaster like Madusa? But with a custom design, larger loops, drops and all other inverions!
Coasterfan Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 I meant the Drop Tower doesn't have a floor. The coaster would have to.
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 18, 2003 Author Posted February 18, 2003 Oh sorry about that! my bad!
fyrfyter Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 A B & M Giga would be really sweet. The cool part about getting one of those, is that the place that makes all the parts for B7M coasters, is just north of PKI off I-71. Talk abotu a coaster that would be made close to home. I'd bet if they got one of these, it might be built in record time, considering the shipping time would be well, most likely less than one day.
Beastfreak Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Correction. B&M coasters are made in Batavia, OH. That is east of Cincinnati and outside the 275 loop. It is no where near 71. Though it would still be a short trip for the track to get from the plant to Kings Island.
Coasterfan Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 I think they should hire the same people who designed The Beast to design the next coaster.
teenageninja Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Charles Dinn who designed The Beast is dead if I remember correctly. A B&M giga would be unlikely due to their high cost. If I remember right B&M was offered a contract by CP for a giga, but they turned it down. I doubt that PKI would get a B&M giga, maybe a B&M hyper. I wouldn't mind seeing that I heard Apollo's Charriot was a really good coaster.
Beastfreak Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 I can definetly see a B&M ride much like Apollo's Chariot or Nitro, using the hills behind the park and all that land. It would fit well. Of course it would have to be a custom layout if it were to go into Kings Island. KI knows not to buy a copy of a ride another chain uses. (FOF, Face/Off, and Reptar don't count since they either were built at the same time as in FOF, or the names and paint schemes were changed like Face/Off and Reptar, though all built by other Paramount Parks) Having it go all the way down to the river and back would be pretty awesome or to have it wrap around behind SOB somewhere.
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 18, 2003 Author Posted February 18, 2003 I would really like to see a launshed Supended coaster like Volcano at King's Dominion! That would be fun to have at PKI if the event of PKI taking out Top Gun. How about it?
fyrfyter Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 I think it would be cool, if they got rid of the Top Gun we have, and put in the B&M variety one, called a jet coaster. I think it would be cool, if they just listed it as improvements to the coaster, and people didn't find out til walking back there, that it was all new. I am sure they coudl reuse the station adn stuff, just replace the track and trains, and then hopefully, re-open the themed area underneath the station.
Beastfreak Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 I've ridden the Top Gun at Carowinds, let me tell you that ride is awsome with the flips and turns and tunnels. Throw that exact coaster in our Top Gun's spot using the same station and queue area, now you got one heck of a ride. Again, all the more reason I voted for the B&M invert to be on my wish list for the next coaster in KI.
PKICoasterFreek Posted February 19, 2003 Author Posted February 19, 2003 Yeah the Top Gun at Carowinds is an awesome ride, I would take the Top gun at Carowinds anyday over the Top Gun at PKI! Its a great ride!
Coasterfan Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 I'd like a Nitro like ride. Or a suspended hyper.
teenageninja Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 I would take an inverted hyper. They can do it Alpengheist is 196 feet. Raptor at CP was amazing, and I wouldn't mind seeing a B&M anything.
