bringonthecoasters Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Sorry for the double post, but I found what I would want to replace whatever you all would remove from the park.....KI, Innovation. Not that we would ever get this first... http://www.kuka-entertainment.com/en/products/robocoaster/concepts/track/ Nothing like a robot on a coaster. 1 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 ^ I believe that is what is used on the Harry Potter ride at Islands of Adventure. 2 Quote
canobie#1 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 The only ride I would consider removing/moving would be the Sky Coaster. It's in the way, simple as that. This could free up new room for a flat and an easier way to get people to The Bat. To me it's an eyesore if they want to re-theme that area. No matter what name you change it to, it's still going to be that hideous grey color. I have no problem with Sling Shot because its not standing in front of anything and it takes up little space, but I'd like to see sky coaster get moved somewhere else or just removed. Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 It certainly doesn't bring in the money it used to, either. There was a time every flight was $45, regardless of the number of fliers: 1, 2 or 3. And you had to book early in the day, as they often sold out. Quote
LoraX Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I think with Banshee going in and the name change to The Bat, there will be more riders since there will be more foot traffic in that area. I actually really like this one more than Slingshot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
canobie#1 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Look at six flags new england, they're moving their sky coaster this season for the NewEngland Sky Screamer. I think if a six flags park is willing to relocate a sky coaster, a Cedar Fair ark certainly could too. Quote
NoChickens Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 If, and that is a big IF, I was going to pay an upcharge for either, I'd choose slingshot. That said, I think the Sky Coaster really could use a new home. Sadly the space it requires, and flat topography, would make it challenging. Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Six Flags is the new old Cedar Fair. And Cedar Fair, in many ways, is going the way of the original Six Flags (pre-Premier Parks). Even down to ride relocations (like WindSeeker, the Dorney "additions," etc.) 1 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I have no problem with Sling Shot because its not standing in front of anything It's standing in front of an otherwise good photo opportunity of Banshee's first drop. 4 Quote
sheikra_rocks Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Action Theater is a decent sized building. A decent family coaster would fit nicely in there. Quote
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Take out the swinging pirate ship ride. Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Take out the swinging pirate ship ride. Because KI has way too many rides with low height requirements that generations can happily ride together. Riiiight. 9 Quote
zombieninja Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Take out the swinging pirate ship ride. Only if it is going to be replaced with another one! We need more flat rides, not less. I wouldn't replace it, but Backlot Stunt Coaster could use an update. 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 ..and certainly NOT a swinging ship that goes upside down. Wrong at so many levels. 7 Quote

thedevariouseffect Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Why do people want to remove rides, just because you don't like it doesn't mean tear it down... Let the park have variety, experiences, and thrills of all sorts... This is the same mentality that's bringing us Banshee next year..If it's a good ride, and has a good experience, it's meant to be here. Each ride at KI has that same mentality, which is why they are still here 6 Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 I wish Rolling Thunder were still at Great Advencha. Sigh. 3 Quote

Each ride at KI has that same mentality, which is why they are still here I know that when I personally answered, I was responding to the topic in a hypothetical "you absolutely must remove a ride" scenario. In the real world, I am very happy with KI's ride lineup. 2 Quote
GamesAndRides Posted November 24, 2013 Author Posted November 24, 2013 I ment for this topic to be a "If you owned Kings Island and MUST had to take a ride out, What would you do" Not "What ride would you like to see gone?" Topic Quote
The Interpreter Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Why on earth would you HAVE to take a ride out by choice? My head hurts. 4 Quote
