OleShawn Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If I running the park, I would try and build at least two if not three more coasters. Maybe do like Kentucky Kingdom and build one or two not record breaking but affordable. That way you would really create a demand for the Fast Pass and not be out too much in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The Crypt and Fast Lane are trademarks and service marks of Cedar Fair. Fast Pass is a Disney registered service mark for its virtual line management system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I agree whatever they do with it, if that building stays there I hope they throw some theming around it. Just some sort of façade to make it fit the area better than just being a big metal box, and tweak the outside a bit to look more old west instead of Asian with being more of a mine entrance than a standard cave surrounded by bamboo and stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 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!! I'm pretty sure the retracking happened after I rode so... who knows. (I'll know after the first week of park operations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 With all the stuff happening in AZ this year, I believe Coney Mall should get some attention. And by Coney Mall I mean X-Base. In the 2015 season it should open as its own section of the park with a new coaster and maybe a flat ride (the more I elaborate on this, the more I'm thinking 2016/17). I posted this awhile ago, but here's a concept I sketched up with Pages: And as for what kind of coaster we should recieve, I would pick a Rocky Mountain Coaster. Reasoning: I don't plan on going all the way to silver dollar city to ride Outlaw Run. Although I'm not sure how well that kind of coaster would work with the whole "X-Base" theme. Hi I'm new here. I think a RMC Woodie would fit great in the park, but not in X-Base. I think they should build it behind Banshee and in between X-Base. I think a Strata-Coaster like TTD but does more things and is longer (is an actual ride), a HUSS Enterprise (my favorite flat ride of all time), and an S&S Screamin' Swing would fit nicely with the X-Base theme.

diamondbackfanatic Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 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)? You can't dis The Racer!! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Deck'd Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I know, I love The Racer! It was a quick post at work and my mind was racing (no pun intended). Backward Racer, back seat all day baby (maybe I'll get to do it again someday). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien6221 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Wonder if we will ever get a ferris wheel? I think a Ferris Wheel approx. 88 feet tall would be a nice, historical compliament to the park. 320' tall Ferris Wheel would be amazing IMHO. Tallest structure in the park 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodielover55 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I think Kings Island really needs a new GCI or Gravity Group woodie with awesome airtime. I go to Holiday World every year just to ride The Voyage and there is no greater thrill on the planet except maybe Top Thrill Dragster. I realize Kings Island isn't gonna build something to the caliber of The Voyage but even Thunderhead at Dollywood would be awesome. It is relatively cheap (compared to anything B&M) and has some intense air time that throws you out of your seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatGuy11 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I seriously don't know why you guys are saying that KI NEEDS a new coaster.... KI JUST got Banshee and they don't really need a brand new coaster for 5 years or so. I think what they need the most is just touch ups to outdated things around the park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodielover55 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I know Kings Island doesn't need a new ride, but that doesn't mean I don't like thinking about what it will be. I am hoping for a new prefabricated wooden coaster with intense air time. The Beast and Racer aren't good woodies when u compare them to The Voyage or Thunderhead at Dollywood. I'd really like a wooden coaster with a spiral drop and quick airtime hills that throw you out of your seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodielover55 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Sorry I meant good airtime woodies. Obviously The Beast is a fantastic wooden coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 And there are those here who would not even remotely agree that Voyage is a good wooden coaster, much less an airtime laden one. Cedar Fair's maintenance department would also not be among those cheering for a Voyage-like contraption. I wonder what the new Six Flags is doing... A steel coaster is a commitment. A wooden coaster is more like a marriage. Kings Island last got a wooden coaster in 2000. How'd that work out? Cedar Point? Mean Streak. Dorney Park? Hercules. Knott's Berry Farm? GhostRider. Kings Dominion? Hurler. Carowinds? Hurler. California's Great America is an exception, but that park is an exception in many ways.

Guest dtk1376 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Racer gets good air time as well and is a woodie. If I am in need of some mega air time I'll just head over to Diamondback. As some others have said, the park needs to be focusing on fixing some of the issues with certain rides this off-season (Adventure Express, Backlot Stunt Coaster, etc). They currently have a good set of rides and I'm sure Cedar Fair is pleased with the return Banshee is currently pulling in and therefore will probably not be focused on new rides for at least the 2015 season. Adventure Express and BLSC with their full SFX is a winner to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedevariouseffect Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hopefully Banshee's effects remain through this off season. CF is great at selling something the first year, then it deteriorates. Lately this trend seems to have been fixed which is great, however, I will always watch carefully 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 How can you say that? When you think of the most famous rides at Kings Island what are they? The Beast and The Racer. They made Kings Island what they are today. Don't believe me, ask ACE. Point proven. Kings Island don't seem to know how to go after that $ What happened to when they used to have ice-skating in the winter? That's money they are missing out on! What about when you could pay to fly in the helicopter? How can you say that? When you think of the most famous rides at Kings Island what are they? The Beast and The Racer.

silver2005 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 @ DontWantToWait42mar0- I know you've been on here long enough to know why a ride like Son of Beast won't work. In fact, you were involved in many of those same discussions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
