What do you think is on the Chopping block next a Kings Island?

I can add more when requested...

I think that Congo will be the next to go.

Hmm...I originally voted Timberwolf, but changed my mind a few minutes later to Action Theatre. From what I've heard, it's just not popular at all, so removing it would make some sense. In fact, most of these would make sense to be removed, save Boo Blasters...that ride, from what I understand, is actually pretty popular.

What is with the obsession over what rides are leaving the park and when? This topic seems to have a new thread every week.

None of the attractions listed in the foreseeable future.

The only thing I want removed is the blacktop from the park, and more detail to Starlight, it could be great, but it's kinda...untouched

Why must people remove rides and stuff, just expand on what we have lol

Also permanant Ferbreze sprayers by X Base...always smells like guest illness and trash..one of the only things I don't like in the park

Congo falls is not that great of a water ride, doesnt get you that wet either, tear it down and build shoot the rapids 2 with extra restraints so now you will spend more time upside-down underwater. Just kidding, if they remove Congo falls and replace it with a flat ride, more off to the side and timber wolf can be converted into luminosity and that theatre would come back to life, i don't think many people know its there because its tucked behind Congo falls...

Keep Flight Deck and Congo Falls. Get rid of the rest.

Wow this got me ROFL 2 different times.

congo falls is a great ride to get wet on when the cannons are timed right.

I think that Boo Blasters, Congo Falls, and Vortex are next since their old and dated so they should be replaced with bigger rides.

I'm old and dated. Does that mean I should be replaced with bigger?

Sheesh.

Have some respect.

Son of Beast was a bigger ride. How'd that work out?

^

If it was made by Intamin it would still be the world's #1!

I doubt the ride manufacturer would determine whether or not they tore down ride with that many issues.

It would've just been another paragraph on Wikipedia's Intamin accidents (Sub) page.

The ride manufacturer for Son of Beast was Paramount Parks.

Not RCCA or its affiliates.

Many of SOB's problems seemed to be caused by maudacturing, as opposed to design, defects.

I was just saying flaws were there regardless and Intamin was he manufacturer the overall out come would've been the same.

I doubt that.

Paramount Parks made many decisions to lessen costs as the coaster was built. Many of the as built changes were not consistent with RCCA's design.

I would dismantle the eifel tower and build a 500' rocket in its place. Since there is a lack of themed areas I feel the eifel tower stands out like a sore thumb. Have the 500' tower there in the center of the park to make the skyline look better.

I think the tower is one of the parks signature rides amongst it's skyline...and one of the last few elements that truly make up international street.

Remove it, what's the point of IS and the entrance?

The only thing international on international st. Is the tower.

Pretty much exactly my point...get rid of it, might as well get rid of everything else in front of it

YoungStud, I am shocked that you want to remove an Intamin attraction.

I would relplace it with one though. It may not be the popular decision but I dont think it belongs now. Maybe in the taft days but not now. It stands out to much.

Sell it to BGW.

The architecture of the other buildings on International Street are as international as the Eiffel Tower.

Why was the Eiffel Tower picked for KD and KI but International Street at CW has Wonder Mountain? The tower I understand, worlds fair usually have some sort of tower and a simple Skytower like Carowinds or Magic Mountain would have stuck out like a sore thumb. As far as 8

I-Street goes, why would you want more? Carowinds has a beautiful Plantation House as a admission gate but Paramount add art deco architecture to the park's "main street". Notice that PGA and PC were the only parks that they redid the entry plaza.

we should have a launch coaster that tophats over the Eiffel Tower.

500' top hat and then in a couple years add on to it the tallest drop ride in the world.

May I request a none of the above, especially since we got the official word from the park on this topic. Of course one day there will be a reason to remove a ride for some reason, but who knows when that will be!

I also do not see anything happening with ET. Current management seems to enjoy and maintain what nostalgia is left of the park (I am glad) and making any changes to ET would change that. I would mark that off as not happening any time soon either!

Also...as much as it sounds like an old person thing to say, I find the tower nice to be able to get a good view of everything around and see the lines, ect. It's usually my first trip before I start riding rides as to get a good gameplan

I respect what your saying about Mr. Helbig saying nothing is leaving in the foreseeable future. Its like a coach, people ask him if he's leaving to go somewhere else and he says no then the next day he's at a press conference announcing it. We won't find out about anything till its announced or construction has started.

That's what WindSeeker is for
