BB1 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 After a bit of reading on the old Coney I began to think of what if the old attractions were at Kings Island today? So that is essentially what the topic is about, what old Coney ride, that is not at KI now(protecting against loop holes) , would you want to see at Kings Island? Personally I would like to see the Cascades (or Shoot the Chutes)where the Crypt is is at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Shooting Star--but only if it were EXACTLY the same. I don't have the heart to ride it with individually ratcheting lap bars, magnetic trim brakes, seat belts, head rests, computer controls, seat dividers and worst of all hard polyurethane foam. And graphite instead of grease lubricating the track. I'd also love to ride Wildcat in its original condition, a ride I never got to ride at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You mean the Lost River? Because I totally agree. Edit: Reffering to BB1. Terp beat me by a few seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastfan11 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 That's what I thought. Sorry. My memories a little scattered. You can't expect me to remember my girlfriends birthday and all the original Coney Island names. Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 An old Coney ride that is not at Kings Island now? Flying Eagles!!! Also Shooting Star, with the same conditions that Terpy listed. I'm too young to have ever ridden it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I loved the Shooting Star and the Wildcat. It would be nice if they could build the Shooting Star as it was at Coney Island at Kings Island. Are there blue prints of it around? I would think there would be some archived someplace.

The Interpreter Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Must be. After all, Mighty Canadian Minebuster was loosely based on it. VERY loosely, I might add, just as the two Paramount Grizzlies were loosely based on Wildcat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
