dwitb Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I'm with Kat. I want a giga, but first... I'm going to sit back and watch my Banshee grow. Once she's mature I will enjoy her many, many times while patiently waiting for my giga. Yay! This is my 200th post. I'm a KIC Junky now! 2
Oldschool75 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Since we are getting Banshee I wouldn't expect any major purchases by the park too soon. I would be very happy with some refreshing of areas and some more flats. As many will agree, a restroom is urgently needed in xbase. 12
BB1 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 As I said before, Donkeys! (BB1, trying to make it stick)
SonofBaconator Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 BRING THESE BACK!!! Maybe replace the eagles with bats 18
KevKenny Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 I guess I offended some people when I jumped the gun on the new ride discussion. I wasn't trying take the spotlight from Banshee (by far an awesome ride). With CF giving $50 mil to B&M in the past 2 years, in reality I don't see CF doing anything major with CP/KI, just yet.
MrSaturdayNite Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Looking ahead, I think we'll see a new slide or two in Soak City, something for Planet Snoopy, and maybe a new full-sized flat before we see a new coaster. Of course the attraction lineup we have now is awesome, and will be even better in April 2014. But I don't think there's anything wrong with looking to the future and thinking "What if?" 1
upstop Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 How about this....Planet Snoopy gets the first Children's giga coaster? 2
YoungStud Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 KI needs a intamin giga or strata with a cable lift traditional lift hill to get on the map. We are getting a b&m invert but they are a dime a dozen. It won't have the impact on the park as a Intamin giga/strata will.
YoungStud Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 How about this....Planet Snoopy gets the first Children's giga coaster? They could put a b&m giga over there and change the restraints to accommodate 36" or taller. I swear the great pumpkin coaster would be more intense. 3

YoungStud Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Well yeah people drive for miles to ride supes/bizarro.
The Interpreter Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Well yeah people drive for miles to ride supes/bizarro. At least 10 miles! Cedar Point those parks ain't. Now Nitro and Medusa/Bizarro over in Jackson....
upstop Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Well yeah people drive for miles to ride supes/bizarro. I'd love to see one at KI....hopefully next time. Bizarro looks incredible. 1
The Interpreter Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Well yeah people drive for miles to ride supes/bizarro. I'd love to see one at KI....hopefully next time. Bizarro looks incredible. B&M floorlesses are like that! 2

We are getting a b&m invert but they are a dime a dozen. It won't have the impact on the park as a Intamin giga/strata will.And I'm glad the invert won't have the impact a strata would. I don't want people to remember Kings Island for a Top Thrill Dragster replica. I want them to know about Kings Island for their fun coasters, great shows, awesome kids area, and an overall unique experience--one you can't get up north. 5
upstop Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I'm hoping that when Vortex meets it's expiration date, a floorless comes in it's place!!!! 2
thedevariouseffect Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Love the layout and theming...music and stuff after the lift hill would get annoying...especially all the random stuff they put in 1
upstop Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 although.......A Giga would be cool in Vortex's place too.... Oh no....I'm... torn between two coasters....feeling like a fool... Loving both of them is breaking all the rules... 1
YoungStud Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I stated what KI should get next and I provided reasons. 2
TheCrypt Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 ...no, you didn't. You posted a POV. That's it. For future reference, it's be a lot more helpful to members (or at least to me) to post a single sentence saying "This is what I would like to see at KI." instead of a POV and nothing more. Anything less, and people can get confused and get "lost in the sauce." 1
YoungStud Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 KI needs a intamin giga or strata with a cable lift traditional lift hill to get on the map. We are getting a b&m invert but they are a dime a dozen. It won't have the impact on the park as a Intamin giga/strata will. This is my reasoning and somehow the conversation went to supes/bizzaro. I apologize if this bothers you bro. 1
UnrealNightmare Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I'd be perfectly happy with a brand new water coaster in Soak City in a few years. 15
jcgoble3 Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I'd be perfectly happy with a brand new water coaster in Soak City in a few years. This. I've made the four hour trek to Holiday World twice this year for Wildebeest and Mammoth as much as Raven and Voyage. Give me something like that in my own backyard. And compared to big roller coasters, those things are not nearly as expensive (I believe that both Wildebeest and Mammoth were well under $10 million each, while Banshee is costing $24 million), so it would be easy for Cedar Fair to do.
malem Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 A discussion about "what's next" happens after every major announcement, but this thread started on a rather bad note. Perhaps we could continue in another thread? ...next season or later? Political pundits start talking about the next presidential election before a newly-elected president is inaugurated. When we finally learn what the future holds, it's only natural to wonder, "and then what?". Banshee reflects a direction for the park and for the company. It's not too early to wonder where this might lead us, even though it's certainly premature to restart the debate on coaster models and manufacturers. I'd be perfectly happy with a brand new water coaster in Soak City in a few years. Soak City needs another signature attraction to compliment the ProSlide Tornado. Probably with support for Fast Lane. (See Worlds of Fun.) My only problem with a water coaster would be that Soak City would probably close for weather whenever I'd try to go over there to marathon it. 2

YoungStud Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I'd be perfectly happy with a brand new water coaster in Soak City in a few years. Intamin aquatrax? 1
