The Interpreter Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 I want to know whats being done with the Amphitheater. A decent sized attraction would fit great there. Go to Spirit Song. Then, get back to us. Nothing? Really? 5
Ride On_17 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 We just happened to be at the park last year while Spirit Song was going on. Besides enjoying a great concert while being on Drop Tower, from that vantage point it was clear that the entire amphitheater was filled. I doubt it will be going anywhere anytime soon. 5
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 It would be great if KI would have a season long concert line-up. 7
Ride On_17 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 That would be a great idea. Likewise with Cedar Point. Several years ago when Carly Rae Jepsen performed on the Luminosity Stage, I was hoping that would be the start of a series of concerts at the park. I've been disappointed that there have been no other major concerts like that since. (excluding Point Fest)
TTD-120-420 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 The Carly Rae concert was a nightmare operations wise. It wouldn't be hard at Kings Island because they have a proper venue for it. Timberwolf needs updated, but I think it would be great for KI to have concerts every once in a while with bands that have medium levels of popularity. 8
thedevariouseffect Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 For what I understand too, Timberwolf helps house props for Halloweekends most of the season except for the Jesusy fest deal and whatnot.
TheCrypt Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Why would Cedar Point store their Halloweekends props so far away? 10
Spectrum91 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 It would be great if KI would have a season long concert line-up. Kings Island used to have many more concerts in Timberwolf, but the venue isn't as ideal for most major bands anymore, especially with Riverbend Music Center, US Bank Arena, and other newer locations close by.
PKIVortex Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I've seen quite a few concerts at Timberwolf in the 90's I highly enjoyed them. 4
JTW Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Also, outdoor concerts tend to be very very loud and several housing developments have grown up around the park since the 90s. 1
thedevariouseffect Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Haunt props..sorry..to me it's Halloweekends..just..natural to call it that..having to call it Haunt I actually have to think about it 1
canobie#1 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I'd like to see them build a new entrance. They have an outdated eyesore.
canobie#1 Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 They could do a vekoma mad house in the old crypt building...
Nick_Plummer Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I think that 2015 will be like what 2013 was. Nothing new finished and moderate crowds. Maybe some scenery improvements but don't expect any new rides.
purdude86 Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I dont' expect anything major for 2015 but I think there is a chance for a new ride or two but be something small like Flying Scooters or something. Most of the other Cedar Fair parks seemed to get them this year that didn't already, so I could see them making a return next year. Would be fairly cheap and allow them to still advertise something new coming. 1
JTW Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I think the next major renovation will be a sprucing up of Coney Mall including repainting of buildings, lighting, possibly music, and a couple flat rides. I wouldn't expect anything for a couple years though. 1
TTD-120-420 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 I'm going to put my money on some general park refreshing and an addition of Antique Cars and Flying Eagles. 2
MrSaturdayNite Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 It would be great if KI would have a season long concert line-up. Kings Island used to have many more concerts in Timberwolf, but the venue isn't as ideal for most major bands anymore, especially with Riverbend Music Center, US Bank Arena, and other newer locations close by. Weird Al doesn't even play there anymore. If a venue isn't even good enough for Weird Al, that should say everything you need to know. 4
Tr0y Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 There would be a lot of room created in AZ if they removed Congo Falls, and the Timberwolf Theatre, they could even make a path that loops so it doesn't just dead in at The Bat.
canobie#1 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Taking out Congo Falls is a bad idea. The park already lacks water rides, I hope they don't go the way SFNE did with their shoot the chutes. 1
HTCO Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I'm hoping to see a Wonder Mountain type ride put in place where Boo Blasters is now 1
The Interpreter Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Taking out Congo Falls is a bad idea. The park already lacks water rides, I hope they don't go the way SFNE did with their shoot the chutes. Or KD. Or NJFTP. Just to name a couple more...
upstop Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I would like to see direct park access resort hotels on site. Wouldn't it be cool to have a hotel just outside of Soak City where guests could have before and after hours access to Soak City?. How about a camp ground somewhere on the river way back behind The Beast on Union Run Road with bus, tram or horse drawn wagon access back to River Town. Perhaps maybe a turn of the century resort somewhere behind X-Base with access to Coney Mall. Maybe there could be a German Village resort behind Adventure Express with bridge access to Oktoberfest. I'm going to go as far as suggesting moving part of the front maintenance area and adding a Peanuts resort near the front of the park. I'd even suggest year round booking to keep them full and active year round. 6
Sebastien6221 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Earlier in this forum, someone mentioned $100m, saying that Cedar Fair doesnt have that kind of money to put towards one park in one season. Where are these facts? How much do you think Cedar Fair actually has that if they wanted to, they could put out a year? I personally think they probably have a lot more than that.
ki95 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I'm hoping to see a Wonder Mountain type ride put in place where Boo Blasters is now Or in The Crypt building?!
ki95 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I would love to see a wild mouse in The Crypt building, maybe keep the themeing or change it to be like Wonder Mountain's Guardian @ Canada's Wonderland 1
Tr0y Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Hopefully my favorite song Madness by Muse will get played every other song while waiting in line for Diamondback this season. -Fingers Crossed- 1
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I would love to see a wild mouse in The Crypt building, maybe keep the themeing or change it to be like Wonder Mountain's Guardian @ Canada's Wonderland That would be coiol, but then you would have people complaining about ride capacity! 2
