timw725 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I think they need to add a hand full or two of new flat rides. I know we got WindSeeker, but that imo is not a true flat ride. I'm thinking more like 1. A Mondial Top Scan 2.Sledgehammer 3. crazy jump 4.rotoshake 5.starship 4000 6.fly away by huss. I know the history 7.screamin swing 8. Top spin This is just a few. I know we had a top spin, but it was a giant huss top spin. maybe this time more like the one at KD A sledgehammer i would like in Action Zone. If it stays Action Zone. top scan would be cool some wheres near The Racers gates. and if the ever add to x base a starship with a upgraded theme would work imo. So what you do you think? what flats would you like to be seen added? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBInternational Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Starship 4000? You mean the really sketchy spinny ride at carnivals and county fairs that always breaks down? no thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timw725 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 something like it. if s&s would make one or other major company. Also far as the top spin mondial Splash over would be great. If it works better then the WindSeekers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I was actually thinking about the possibility of KI adding some carnival-like flats yesterday when I was watching Shake, Rattle and Roll. I think most of the "crazy flat rides" (as I call them) would do well in Coney Mall but I think you might have to coax some people (like me) onto some of the crazier-looking ones. On that note, this might be up for consideration as it could pay tribute to the old Wheel of Fortune ride: . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Wait a minute, how is WindSeeker not a "true" flat ride? Last I checked it had all the qualities that fit the definition of "flat ride." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Still waiting for a Giant Wheel at KI. Maybe in the new Action Zone or in Coney Mall 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Rivertown could use a handful of flat rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevKenny Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yea KI can use a Ferris wheel, seeing CP's at night is like looking at a computer screensaver, maybe a skyhawk type ride. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked it had all the qualities that fit the definition of "flat ride." IMO its a tower ride. It's a 300ft tower that goes in a circle. Drop Tower IMO is a tower ride. ferris wheel I would love to see added where tower gardens is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Kings Island definitely needs just one more flat ride - I would love a Screamin' Swing like Skyhawk at CP, maybe in place of The Crypt's building (is there enough room?). I would get rid of one haunt taking up a giant building for an awesome flat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastForever Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Besides, all Madam Fatale's Cavern is doing is making up for for our former "best trail at Haunt" (Trail of Terror). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSkippy Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Posting a picture does not answer the question. If anything, I'm more confused as that looks like a dark ride to me. Anyway, I would bring back the Flying Eagles! And Tumble Bug. And Halley's Comet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hmmm...That Houdini's Escape type ride would fit inside of the crypt nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 A Houdini ride. Haha yes! Yes! Although I don't know if it'd fit in with anything at Kings Island or not, but it's a ride to blow your mind if you haven't ridden it before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I've been on it. I had no idea what it was at first, and it succeeded in blowing my mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canobie#1 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Other than canobie lake park, SFNE is my home park. There is NO flats there anymore which is a shame. They removed the catapult and twister this year with o replacements. I would love to see this park get Darien Lake's UFO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieninja Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 A Houdini ride. Wow! I've never heard of this ride before today. We totally need one of these where The Crypt used to be. I think it would be a perfect fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I will probably be the lone lady here on this one, but I would love to see a Power Surge ride put in the park somewhere. If there was any possibility to have one on a larger scale for capacity's sake, I found this to be an enjoyable and fun ride as well as fun to watch too.

purdude86 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I think a top scan or screaming swing would be great. Could go well in X-Base. I'd also love to see a new top spin added into teh Crypt's building. Just make it a more realiable standard one, possibly with just a longer arm but standard base. Keep teh existing building and retheme it to being a mine shaft to fit the surrounding area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 ^ What is a "top scan"? I've never heard of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stitch Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Shockwave at Canada's Wonderland is a top scan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Starship 4000 is fun (I rode the one at Beech Bend a couple years ago), but doesn't add much and would get old fast. In my opinion Coney could use some more "classic" flats like some of the ones at Coney Island.
