thedevariouseffect Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Yes..the new coasters S&S has built haven't stood out or noticeable... My point still stands..
TheCrypt Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Ah. You were talking about the coasters and not the company itself. Using words like "they" can get pretty tricky. Sorry for the confusion! 1
thedevariouseffect Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 All good, it'd take alot to upset me, trust me..
The Interpreter Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 And some of us will never again see a new coaster from our favorite manufacturer anywhere in the world. ^Not entirely true..S&S Sansei has had new prospects, however, are they as prominent as they were in their prime, of course not, and it is unfortunate.Huh? Messrs Prior, Church, Phare, Miller, Allen, Schmeck, Schiff, Traver, etc., ain't designin' no more. They's done. I'm one of some of us.... 2
rhyano Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I've heard rumors that intamin track was spotted on I 71 south yesterday
The Interpreter Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 INTAMIN is a registered trademark. As such, it is always capitalized. 1
DBInternational Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 ^Oh I thought you were making a joke earlier. Obviously, not for KI if you did spot track. 1
Ride On_17 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I love how CF is starting to branch off to different coaster companies. Yes, I love Intamins for their thrills. But as we all know, Intamin rides can have some serious flaws and issues, while there are so many other companies that provide unique, run coasters. Lately Cedar Fair has received B&M's first (and as of now) only giga coaster, they have received a record breaking wing coaster, they have reborn the inverted coaster, and among several other additions they have built a family friendly yet thrilling GCI wooden coaster. There are tons of options other than Intamin that could provide a nice blend and balance to a park's lineup, and there are still many other companies and coaster types that I hope Cedar Fair will go to for future additions. I love the thrill of Intamins, but I love even more seeing a park with varied thrill levels, ride types, and coaster companies. 4
rhyano Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I would love to see a wooden coaster built by RMC, GCI, or Gravity group 5

I wonder when the last new installation of a Vekoma occurred at a Cedar Fair park. They don't seem to go with them a whole lot either. 5
Ride On_17 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 ^I really want a Vekoma Pandora's Box for a dark ride. http://www.vekoma.com/index.php/specialities-and-attractions/pandora-s-box 4
homestar92 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Capacity is key. Actually, I think a more accurate statement would be safety first, then reliability, then capacity. That's a big part of why Cedar Fair is such a loyal B&M customer as of late. They can offer all 3 and their coasters tend to be very popular with the general public, and decently popular with enthusiasts. 4
CoasterOhio Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I wouldn't mind for Oktoberfest to get worked on, maybe new rides? A bit of an expansion so it can fit those rides? Small family coaster there? I also wouldn't mind if a B&M Flyer came into the park, I already know we have the Vekoma Flyer 'Firehawk' but a B&M Flyer would be nice. 1
Delirium2018 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 I want a S&S Giant Swing thing. Not sure what they are called. 2
APE Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 There are lots of things on my wish list for Kings Island. A giant S&S swing. RMC coaater INTAMIN coaster Euro fighter But for now I am overly thrilled with our new toy. 2
silver2005 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I don't get why most of you are so fixated on B&M and Intamin. There are more than those 2 companies capable of delivering nice rides that would fit in well at Kings Island. Also, I've said it elsewhere, but I'd be willing to sacrifice a bit of capacity on certain rides if it means something more unique. 6
BB1 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I'd like a Vekoma product, possibly even a ProSlide Technology attraction before that!
BB1 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 ^Whats that? http://www.vekoma.comhttp://www.proslide.com
Delirium2018 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Posted April 9, 2014 I know what Vekoma is, just not a Proslide.
NightlyBeast Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I'm happy with Banshee... but I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some internal disappointment when it wasn't a giga. This is mainly due to the fact that I ride coasters in the front and the giga we have in our state comes with lots of bugs @ night. It's hard to enjoy a coaster when you're getting smacked in the face constantly.
BeastForever Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Assuming Lightning Run turns out to be as good as it looks, it would be wonderful to see an economical Chance come to KI in a few years. 3
