Coasterama Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 ^ I wouldn't mind seeing something like Blue Fire, or the upcoming Helix. In my opinion, the park could use a big (key word is "big") launch coaster. 3
purdude86 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Something like Blue Fire would be awesome for our next coaster. Think something like that or even Maverick would be awesome and have it be a bit of a terrain coaster as well. 1
thedevariouseffect Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 All that time to post something..just to leave so soon..but it's a waste if your precious time.. Oh the irony 2
MadMaverick Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Blue Fire looks cool. I would love something like Maverick. Something with an intense terrain hugging layout. I could do without the horseshoe rolls and put in a few more hills with some good ejection air time. 1
Nick_Plummer Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I vote to take down The Crypt's old building and put in an Enterprise
The Interpreter Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Who's going to do that? Bad pun fully intended. 4
Tr0y Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I vote to take down The Crypt's old building and put in an Enterprise or just put the enterprise inside of that big metal box... Mind blown. 3
canobie#1 Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 ^That would be pretty stupid considering you can see a whole lot out of the enterprise cars. A new topspin would be cool though.

TheCrypt Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Guys what if they put a Haunt attraction in the old Crypt building? At least the building wouldn't go to waste and be useless for the whole year. Maybe the Haunt will be high quality and fun, too. I know, sounds crazy. This will probably never happen. 4

Nick_Plummer Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 My dad said mabe they could convert it into an all year haunted house. The kids have Boo Blasters, why can't the adults have a real scary haunted house!
Tr0y Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 Kings Island should buy the Trabant that Coney Island is getting rid of.
Flight Deck'd Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 I'm surprised that only a few people have mentioned something wooden so far. I think a new wooden twister coaster (not in 2015, but in the near future) would be a great addition. It would also be good for this market, since Ohio is really hurting for some good/new woodies. I love The Beast but outside of that, what else is there in Ohio (love The Racer too)?

I love The Beast but outside of that, what else is there in Ohio (love The Racer too)? Mean Streak (which is FAR better than anyone gives it credit for...) Stricker's Grove Tornado Sea Dragon (for the historical value). And that's about it. But it's not like the whole area is hurting. Because just outside Ohio, we have: Voyage Raven Legend Thunderbolt Jack Rabbit The other Racer Thunder Run And probably more that I didn't think of. 3
Matfactor2 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 It has already been decided, 2019 Intamin giga coaster where the rest of Son of Beast was, it will even utilize a refurbished SOB station. <a href="http://s362.photobucket.com/user/x241/media/2019ki.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo63/x241/2019ki.png" border="0" alt=" photo 2019ki.png"/></a> Tr0y, wishfully thinking Yeah, since Banshee goes right through that area....
Flight Deck'd Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 ^^I haven't ridden Mean Streak in a while but hated it last time I rode it (not only rough, but I thought the pacing was slow...beautiful coaster to look at, though). I have heard that CP has recently done some work to restore it and it's been running better as of late, I need to check it out again. I guess my point is outside of Holiday World, where's the nearest legit post-Y2K woodie?
The Interpreter Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Cornball Express. Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain. Both at Indiana Beach. Kentucky Rumbler at Beech Bend. 1
Flight Deck'd Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 D'oh, I always forget about Indiana Beach (shame on me). Point taken, but I still want a new woodie at KI. I think more than anything I'd like to see either a GCI or Intamin, which I think we are short on in this region regardless of those woodie-rich parks in that state to the west. I guess RMC would be nice too but (let the controversy begin) I'm a little old school and feel like inverting woodies are a little gimmicky. I haven't ridden an RMC yet so I'm not speaking from experience.

Mean Streak is NOT a better coaster than people credit it for Haha. I'll stand by that opinion. I'll see how it has changed when I go this year, but as of 2010, it reminded me of how SOB felt.. "pure joy".
coasterfanatic83 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Opinions are merely opinions, and we all have preferences. Personally, I enjoy Mean Streak and find it vastly underrated. 2
MantisMan Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 .......as of 2010, it reminded me of how SOB felt.. I haven't had a chance to ride it in many years but will make the trip up this summer and if your analogy is correct.....I am super excited!! 1
upstop Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 It's time for a water ride. How about a Mack Water Coaster/ Haunted house combo in Rivertown (indoor and outdoor).....but most likely it will be Planet Snoopy ride or update of some sort. 2

ProSlide make true water coasters, the rest are rollercoasters with splashdowns. 3
homestar92 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 If we had something like Wildebeest in our water park, perhaps I'd go there more than once every three years. Last time I was in our water park, I was able to ride Tasmanian Typhoon and Snowy River Rampage. 2

And they could potentially reuse the crypt building for the dark ride portion of it. 2
upstop Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Yes. And they could jazz up the outside of the building with a haunted mansion façade. Also there is plenty of acreage behind the building for a cool coaster. They could place the splashdown on The Beast side of the property to make it midway visible. 1
