CoasterOhio Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Not much of an accident, it was more of just shut down due to high winds. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I truly wish they had been able to keep this ride. It would look beautiful over the park. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSalsa Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 ^ From what I heard, the park offered but no one took them. If that had been me up there though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Even if they did accept them, wouldn't they become null and void once Paramount took over the park? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Probably not. It would have been Mr. Carl Lindner who most likely would have made that decision (see also Great American Financial). Mr. Lindner retained much of the park's real estate when he sold Kings Island to Paramount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
