The Interpreter Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Tomb Raider, Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle, Phantom Theater, Hanna Babera, and Nockelodeon! Cedar Fair needs to bring them back!!!!!!!!!!! CBS and VIACOM want a bloody fortune to use their properties. Cedar Fair thought you'd rather have rides and attractions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungStud Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Not bashing king cobra, but why does everyone love it? I have never ridden it but it appears to me to be a short, one loop, and rough togo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It wasn't rough. It was unique for its day. And want to see why? Go ride SkyRider. Don't make the mistake of thinking Shockwave at Kings Dominion rides like King Cobra did. Shockwave is rougher, slower and less fun. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never ridden it but it appears to me to be a short, one loop, and rough togo.How does a ride "appear" to be rough?- Brown- remembering looking at a SBNO SoB often in 2000. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBInternational Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 1. KCKC - i hated coasters when i was little but always loved water rides, and this one was the best. 2. Son of Beast - i never rode it and i regret it. 3. King Cobra - Looked like a pretty fun ride but was taken down before i liked coasters. 4. Antique cars - that ride was a classic and i don't think taking it out for BLSC was worth it. 5. TR:TR - I rode The Crypt many times and enjoyed it a lot but it was too simple, the original theming and ride cycle would've made the ride way better. 6. Phantom Theater - as much as the ride scared me as a little kid, i loved it. 7. Scooby's Ghoster Coaster - Twas but a classic 8. Action Theater - They nee to make the seats move again, Spongebob 4d was awesome 9. Flying Eagles - Looked like a blast but never rode it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'm glad someone mentioned SpongeBob 3D.....I'm not a big fan of SpongeBob but the 3D movie was actually pretty good! Also hated to see the old SOB fall down....But at least now we have much greater things in store for Action Zone! And a more reliable record breaker in the old record breaker's spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini XL-200 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 1) King Cobra, never got to ride it but I remember being little and always wanting to ride. I was about 4 when it was removed, but never the less I was sad to never get the chance to ride it. 2) Tomb Raider: The Ride (original programing). I wasn't super upset when the Crypt version was removed as it wasn't super special, but I wasn't the happiest when it went from it's original programming (as TR:TR) to it's last programming (The Crypt). 3) Backwards Racer, always special to me to take a ride during P&G day (before I started getting passes) on The Racer backwards. Nothing like it. Would love for it to come back. I can't think of any other rides that were removed that really upset me. Neutral on the removal of the Antique Cars, as I think Backlot is fun (although not fun enough to wait 20+ minutes for it). Edit: Was also neutral on the removal of SOB because although I personally loved it, I could see that our options were either remove it and get a new ride (Banshee!) or leave it standing and closed. I'd rather have something I can actually ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Son of Beast was my #1 wooden coaster. And you complain about jack hammering on Diamondback? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 In his defense, I will say this, we all knew SOB was rough, and always was. DB was at many times smooth, and very tolerable. Recently it has been rough, and I will agree with him. Ride any train all you will feel the vibration, especially brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Yeah, I've felt the vibration on DB, but far short of "jack hammering". SOB was a jackhammer. Some people called it "intense" but it was really just a flaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 The most devistating loss to KI was by far the Antique Cars/Flying Skooters removal for IJST. The most picturesque section of the park was compromised for a ride featuring rusty cargo containers as it's theming element. It was, is, and will be an absolutely eyesore that destroyed the esthetics of the park. I pray that Cedar Fair removes the coaster and restores the area to what it should still be... beautiful. What a monumental mis-step by those (then) in charge of "improving" the park. Bad, bad, bad. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 See Brown train pre hammerhead is nice, post hammerhead it's very shaky, which again it shouldn't be. SOB wasn't all that bad w/ loop, post loop hurt like hell IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 1.Son of Beast(Darn I should have gone back to the park a little earlier than 2011 and it was operating with the loop that day in 2005 ) 2.King Cobra(Too young always fascinated me.) 3.Flying Eagle's(Should have ridden it.) 4.Antique Cars(Me and my dad where angry about them removing it.)

jlopez Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I really don't miss any former ride. But removing The "Kenton Cove Sailboat Canal" was a mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
