Chopping Block

[Jr for Birdy]

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

We know what view your checking out on the Tower.

Jr asks Don if were getting another coaster anytime soon in 2012. Don answers with something along the lines of not for several years. It's your job to B.S the public, like a politician or head coaches talking to the media.

I don't ride WindSeeker at KI, it has an ok view, but too slow, plus for some reason it gives me a slight headache.

CP WindSeeker no probs for some reason and I still don't ride it as I have better things to. When I do though it is a nice view, especially cloudless, new moon nights

The Eiffel Tower is a symbol of Kings Island and the Warren County area.I'm sure there would be a big negative outcry from the public if it were removed, since it has been there since 1972. It gives a great view of the 10 pm fireworks, it is also great for photo opportunities (Ex: Banshee construction, Diamondback construction), plus you can stay as long as you want. WindSeeker gives people little to no time to see what they want/need to see. Very few people can ride WindSeeker, that is one reason why the Eiffel Tower is not going anywhere anytime soon.

But the next thing in the park that I think is next in line for demolition is the building that housed Tomb Raider. The building is an eyesore and if it isn't removed, they should add a family dark ride in that building and theme that ride to fit the Rivertown section of the park.

Why get rid of the Eiffel Tower, when you could have this!

[thedevariouseffect]

I hate to be that guy...but that practically wipes out half of everything in the park...and I really don't think that structure is meant to handle launched trains and their weight towards, up, and down it

[The Interpreter]

The only word that comes to mind:

Abomination.

Sadly, some would be ecstatic. A new ride!

[fanofFirehawk]

Wait no never mind, I just noticed that it is B&M box style track, withdrawn...

^I was wondering when you knuckleheads would notice...you seemed excited and enthhsiastic in your first post! You're not a politian no taking back words here ;-)

[BeastForever]

A coaster fit for a Kinzel.

I think we should remove Timberwolf. Its not popular at all! It seems like nobody knows about it!

I know it's not a ride, nor an attraction, but I'd get rid of those darn basketballs. They drive me insane. A person could be thrown into a seizure from the repetitive noise. If you want to give away basketballs as prizes, give them out sans air.

[YoungStud]

People want instant gratification. You win a game and get a basketball it needs to be inflated. Sucks if the kid cannot afford to buy a hand pump and needle.

[thedevariouseffect]

Other parks sell deflates balls and they seem to be doing just fine...if a family can't afford the pump...they shouldnt be spending money on admission, parking, and games

A family could save all year to take their 3 boys to ki. Their boys have a magical time and the oldest boy uses money he earned from can recycling to pay the 3 $ for one shot to win a bball for his youngest brother. He wins the ball and is given a deflated ball. That blows.

[Hank]

The noise level of a bouncing basketball echoing off everything around the park is almost deafening. There are times you can't carry on a conversation with the person standing next to you because a basketball is being bounced. Also, I have seen those same basketballs wander from their owners and entangle under unsuspecting patrons feet. Now, that could cause some serious injuries.

I'm not saying people shouldn't have fun - I like to shoot hoops too - but I just feel it's a bit overbearing on everybody for the pleasure of a few.

You could always have inflating machines available at the front gates!

^Available for a nominal fee of $2 a pump, $5 for 3 pumps, or $20 for an "exclusive" all year-long pumping pass.

[fanofFirehawk]

I have seen a teen age boy accidentally drop the ball from the stairs on Flight Deck, after he got off the ride went into the restricted zone of the ride, down the steep hill through the grass and thorns and down into the valley of Flight Deck.

That wasn't very smart… I'm not sure how I feel about balls...

OR - for and EXTRA $15 - a Pumping Fast Pass (or Fast Pumping Pass, or whatever)

(The Family Drier at Great Advencha was only $3. Coke the same price as at Kings Island. There's a lesson in there somewhere---that and not a single bouncing ball did I hear or see. Glory Be!)
