Tanna Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Skylab was a bear for workers to double check the locks, but none of us ever needed a Thighmaster after a few days. I loved both of those rides. I like the idea of an outdoor topspin, that way, you could get an idea of ho high you were. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Too bad Skylab and Flight Commander weren't more reliable. Those were 2 fantastic flats. Same could be said for TR:TR -- This thread makes me dearly wish KI had some more high-thrill flats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executioner822 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 speaking of kennywood, it would be better if ki replaced Delirium with what black widow is at kennywood. black widow goes higher and lasts longer but then again Delirium spins more. flat rides i'd like ki to get would be a huss enterprise (I love those things but it seems like everyone is scrapping them), a sky swing like others here have said, the upside down spaceship canadas wonderland got rid of (was it scrapped or sold?), a more reliable top spin, and tilt a whirl (omg my absolute favorite flat ride ever). put the enterprise and upside down ship on the land between racer and Flight of Fear, whoever here said to level the crypt building and put the sky swing there is a good idea, tilt a whirl near the dino entrance, and the top spin squeeze it in Action Zone or the space beside Diamondback and international theatre. sorry for the essay 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 After Dollywood's recent HUSS experience, I highly doubt you'll see Cedar Fair buy a HUSS anything anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner822 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I know but it would be nice. ki really does need flat rides though. ive been looking up wonderland for a few years and am amazed at the flats they have and wish ki had that amount. and years and years of playing roller coaster tycoon doesn't help either with where they could be placed lol.

sheikra_rocks Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 A Houdini ride. Definitely! Would fit in the Crypt building and does not have a minimum height requirement. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I would absolutely LOVE an old-fashioned Ferris wheel in Coney; it doesn't have the be the world's largest, just something in the lines of what the Coney area is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look up Houdini Ride, and now that I have, you have my full support on this venture- it would be like a Crypt without nightmarish maintenance issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I experienced the one at Great Adventure, and it was really neat. With the right story line, and a great theme, a Madhouse ride would work nicely as a replacement to the Crypt gondola. http://www.vekoma.com/index.php/specialities-and-attractions/madhouse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner822 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 actually everyone is forgetting ki did have a large ferris wheel. it was in a building in the dark by The Beast right? oh crypt... you were so good from 2002-2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 No. Everyone isn't forgetting. And it wasn't large. Not at all. Unless you mean Zodiac... KI had a Ferris Wheel. For real. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executioner822 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 it was sarcasm. the crypt's ride cycle from 2009-close resembled that of a ferris wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSoB Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Not that I'd ride it, but I'd like to see a Zipper in Coney Mall. Also a Tilt a Whirl and a Musik Express would be nice there too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 it was sarcasm. the crypt's ride cycle from 2009-close resembled that of a ferris wheel. Go ride Deno's Wonder Wheel and get back to us on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner822 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 is that the one at coney island in new York or a different one? not sarcasm, im serious, because if it is the one in coney island I know some of the cars are on rails and they rock really violently back and forth which is what the crypt was a couple years before it closed. it felt like it was an accident when it flipped twice. and to clarify im saying that riding the crypt from 2009-close felt like being in the car of a ferris wheel with a belligerent passenger dangerously rocking it. that's my opinion, im not giving hate, I loved the crypt more so as tomb raider but the ride cycle was terrible after 2008. and yes I know why it was toned down because the ride was tearing itself apart if anyone wanted to bring that up. anyway back on topic, ki needs more flats, yes no?

thegajone Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 anyway back on topic, ki needs more flats, yes no? Do you really think anyone is going to say no? Of course everyone wants MOAR FLATS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Deno's Wonder Wheel at Coney Island of Brooklyn. And the experience, while frightening for those afraid of heights, is in no way violent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Executioner822 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 ah well then that does look fun and would make a great addition to ki. I would say why would they put a giant wheel when there's the Eiffel Tower but so many parks have observation towers and ferris wheels together. Cedar Point being and example until the tower came down for gk. anyway, going back to the s and s sky swing... another place it could go is between racer and Flight of Fear. its a nice plot of land and maybe some flats in that area will make x base an official section.

ZeroGee Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 If the park built a giant wheel like Cedar Point, where would it go? Seems fitting to go in Coney section .I would place it in between Zephyr and DA entrance nothing really in between there right now except the arcade and a few small game booths .

BlondyRidesOn Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 It could go in X-Base. And was the Cedar Point giant wheel built by Schwarzkopf? Just a random question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yes, the Giant Wheel at Cedar Point is a Schwarzkopf. It dates to 1972 and is 134 feet tall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
