Next Year we are getting the greatest investment in Kings Island's history since it's inception, Banshee.

But what will we see afterwards. It has been mentioned by many, even Don( I think) that Kings Island is in search of some good flat rides. So if it were up to you what flat ride would you put here, how would you theme it and where would you put it?

I would vote for a Skyhawk Style ride to either take to place of the Crypts former "Box o'FUN" or place it in X-base.

I'm not sure how I would theme it but I'd make it look really cool and "westerny", as for the one in X-base I could do quite a lot with that, but I probably would make it like a Astronaut G-force faculty that all test pilots would have to under go.

Flying Scooters.

Skylab, a falcons fury type ride, a round up, a Ferris wheel, tilt-a-whirl, tea cups. Just to name a few.

I too would remove the Tomb Raider building and put in an S&S Screamin' Swing, but themed to fit the Rivertown section. I would also add a PTC Cuddle Up, Eli Bridge Ferris Wheel, Intamin drunken barrels (Der Spinning Keggers), Larson Scooters, Antique Cars, Premier Rides Tilt a whirl, Huss (Hoose) Flying Dutchmans shoes ride, Tumble Bug ride (If there still is a company out there that builds them), and a Tempest.

Flats have horrible capacity. I would put a zac spin in place of the tomb raider building.

I actually Want a Flying Eagles Back. That was my Fav ride back then before BLSC. Since Cedar Point is getting it, Maybe it could be a Chain Attraction Like WindSeeker And DA Was.

Maybe HUSS can make a "giant flying eagles" ride..

So you wanna pull out a flat that has horrible capacity, to put in a coaster that has horrible capacity

What about adding something like an improved version of a Rock-O-Plane? Americana had a nice one before they closed. It could be located right in Coney Mall.

850 or so pph is better than 4-500pph. Capacity cant be nearly as bad as FoF.

What is crypt's theoretical capacity, I couldn't find it anywhere...but still

Did tomb raider's pre show video show Angelina jolie in her tight outfit? I don't remember.

Put a meme in a meme, that's a meme in a meme...impressive

But I ain't even mad either...I just find your ignorance amusing lately

TO the return of the ride that should never have left the Flying Eagles:

^I do agree...I never had a chance to ride them, anywhere, nor will I have a chance to ride them at CP next year..ah well

And in terms of what the theoretical PPH of a Zacspin would be: http://www.intaminworldwide.com/amusement/RollerCoasters/ZacSpin+Coaster/tabid/138/ProductNumber/ZacSpin+Coaster/language/de-DE/Default.aspx (800 PPH)

They should replace the WindSeeker seats with flying scooters.

Hmm...Interesting...and Youngstud likes the post....Very interesting..

Maybe HUSS can make a "giant flying eagles" ride..

Like a Chance Aviator?

Blech.

Tomb raider could not get 600pph to save their life. Not even at closing time.

Hey now! I still stand by my "if you owned Kings Island" post. (The likelihood of us getting our Eagles seems very slim, so if we can't get Larson Flying Scooters, a Chance Aviator would be a decent Planet Snoopy addition, in my opinion. I do see where people wouldn't like them, though--they're very clunky-feeling compared to any flying scooters I've ever ridden.)

I'd rather take a nap.

I was making a joke to how KI in past ownership has had HUSS to make rides of their "giant" variety because Kings Island needs higher capacity (least I thought that was the main reason)

I'd still rather take a nap.

A Frisbee is much more fun than a Giant Frisbee. Same for a Top Spin as opposed to a Giant Top Spin.

Bigger is not always better. Even 8 car Mangels Whips are better than Kennywood's 12 car.

Traver swing, tumble bug, flying coaster, whip, caterpillar, rotor and other rides not seldom seen today.

I, however, enjoyed a giant top spin much more than a regular top spin.

Of course, when the giant top spin was used in its original intent. Top spins are more uncomfortable and move too fast to enjoy the movements IMO.

Bigger is better.

A Power Tower, a western themed Break Dance in Rivertown, a Giant Wheel in Octoberfest . A Space Shuttle in X-Base along with a large version of the Trabant.

Kings Island can`t get the Rock-O-Plane from Americana. Why? It is now running (and has been since 2007), at Cincinnati`s Coney Island. It received a nice paint job when it was installed at Coney in 2007. And it is not a very high capacity ride, since you are only loading one car at a time, and there are only eight cars on the ride. Not to mention, you have to keep the ride balanced (in terms of weight and what cars you leave empty). It is not exactly a people mover. But it is a very fun ride.
