ChainDog Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 But we on the other hand, will have a GREAT ride for it to be themed around... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5
Sonicteam1000 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Look what I found today on Kings Island's website! All the Action Zone rides were like this for about 10 minutes! 10

elyk Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 I kept lookig around that photo. What is he talking about. And then I saw it. Great find. Who knows if themeing will change. Only time will tell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
calakapepe Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Yeah, took some actual reading to see it.FearZone... hmm.. Does this mean that during haunt, that area will have to be escalated in intensity? I've heard people saying they wish Haunt was scarier.. and others saying it's scary enough, timidly. Obviously it doesn't MEAN that, just a thought.
CoasterMyths79 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Very interesting. Perhaps Don will have something to say about this in the foreseeable future.
CoasterMyths79 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 I wonder, if they did go through with all this re-theming for 2014, how much it will cost?
coasterfanatic83 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Not calling you a liar or anything, but did anybody else catch this? It could be very easily photoshopped to say Fear Zone, so I would prefer to have another witness before I believe anything. Still waiting on that Green Intamin track.... 8
CoasterMyths79 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Yes, it could be exactly like the whole Banshee revealing thing with The Bat. It could be just to throw us off or to create more commotion and see who had noticed. 2
WailsLikeABanshee Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Ahhh. The teasers. I can't wait until April! Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 2
TTD-120-420 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 They can call it whatever they want, but they better replace that ugly concrete with pavers or I will not be a happy camper. 6
Spectrum91 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 ^ how about just removing it to another park. Backlot Stunt Coaster may not be the most intense or exciting ride for thrill seekers, but it's adored by smaller riders. My little brother could ride that and Adventure Express all day, while he's not quite up for The Beast or Vortex just yet. I know he, and many other younger park guests, would be sad if it was to be removed. They still could of kept the eagles, they had enough room with some manipulation of the queue line. But nooooooo they had to put in stupid basketball. Like we needed another basketball game......they could of at least put the basketball game in another location if they had to have basketball. I'm honestly surprised there is only one Three-Point Challenge at Kings Island - Cedar Point has three. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to see one tucked somewhere into Action Zone for next year. 5
bkroz Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I can understand not liking Backlot's location or even it's theme, but are we really at the point where the park would be altogether stronger without it? I think that's a silly thing to think. It's a fun, well-done family coaster that was just recently updated to keep its effects working. Why would we want to remove it completely for no reason? 10
Kat Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 Yay for something new to speculate about!!! 2
Kat Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 I hope they don't intensify Haunt! I went twice this year for the scream like a Banshee contest (once to participate, once to see a friend in the finals) and the first time I had a panic attack going to the front gate bc they used to have scare actors hanging out up there even as you left. I did go in CarnEvil though and it wasn't scary. Only one thing made me jump I want to do Slaughterhouse so bad but am afraid it'd be too intense for me. I would have to go before dark (ie 6pm) so there would be a little light coming in and I wouldn't be given a heart attack leaving by chainsaw guy. I am a certified Haunt chicken! 3
Sonicteam1000 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah, I agree with Kat on the whole "intensify" thing. I went and I did feel kind of violated because I was actually touched twice (Once in slaughter house and once again getting off of Diamondback) I think that the scareactors take their job too seriously.
BeastForever Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Imagine yourself being 6' 2" and then tell me Haunt is scary. I personally think the scareactors don't take their job seriously enough... (They stopped trying to scare me once I was 5' 10" and in the 8th grade .) Moral of the story: they only go after short people!

Oldschool75 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Guys, it's Photoshopped. Sonicteam1000 you need to read the TOS, stuff like this will get your account banned. 3
myklhicks Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Guys, it's Photoshopped. Sonicteam1000 you need to read the TOS, stuff like this will get your account banned.How do you know that it's photoshopped?They changed Flight Deck to The Bat, perhaps they accidentally let it slip when editing The Bat. Not arguing. Just asking how you know. It does seen sketchy that sonic team only has one post though.

If you zoom in on the picture you can see the difference in the pixels. 4
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Or he could have done that trick with editing text in chrome for client only, or it could be real. If we had someone else witness this it could be known for sure but no one has backed the picture so who knows wether it is real or not.
CoasterMyths79 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I believe that it is PS, knowing that no one else has witnessed it. If it was, it would've been like The Bat fake website and would have many witnesses. 3
tuxedoman52 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I'm 6'2" in the 7th grade and didn' get bothered by the scareacters. They do must go after short people. Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2 3
BB1 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Invertigo, located in Action Zone, if it was like so, for ten minutes, why not five minutes in post it? BB1, ever so speculative
CoasterMyths79 Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 So I must ask, what are some ideas for other renaming. (ect. Delirium, Drop Tower, Congo Falls, Slingshot,)
