fanofFirehawk Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 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. Quote
McSalsa Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 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. Quote
Dieseltech20 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 What is with the obsession over what rides are leaving the park and when? This topic seems to have a new thread every week. 9 Quote
Guest KingsIslandPR Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 None of the attractions listed in the foreseeable future. 34 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 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 2 Quote
Tr0y Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 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... 3 Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Keep Flight Deck and Congo Falls. Get rid of the rest. Quote

Wow this got me ROFL 2 different times. Quote
elyk Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 congo falls is a great ride to get wet on when the cannons are timed right. Quote
KIRules! Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I think that Boo Blasters, Congo Falls, and Vortex are next since their old and dated so they should be replaced with bigger rides. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 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? 8 Quote
YoungStud Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 ^ If it was made by Intamin it would still be the world's #1! 1 Quote
fanofFirehawk Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 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. Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 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. 2 Quote
fanofFirehawk Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 I was just saying flaws were there regardless and Intamin was he manufacturer the overall out come would've been the same. Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 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. 4 Quote
YoungStud Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 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. 1 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 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? Quote
YoungStud Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 The only thing international on international st. Is the tower. Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Pretty much exactly my point...get rid of it, might as well get rid of everything else in front of it Quote
jcgoble3 Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 YoungStud, I am shocked that you want to remove an Intamin attraction. 8 Quote
YoungStud Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 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. Quote
kblanken Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 The architecture of the other buildings on International Street are as international as the Eiffel Tower. Quote
RollerNut Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 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. Quote
elyk Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 we should have a launch coaster that tophats over the Eiffel Tower. 1 Quote
YoungStud Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 500' top hat and then in a couple years add on to it the tallest drop ride in the world. Quote
IndyGuy4KI Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 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! 2 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 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 3 Quote

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. 1 Quote
