myklhicks Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 The arcade across from "Goblet Toss" and beside "Zephyr" has been closed now for a few days. Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Last night the lights were on inside (you could see it through the side doors) too. Wonder what they're up to. Quote
oysterman Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It would be a cool spot for a haunt maze. 1 Quote

malem Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Between this arcade closing and Shake Rattle & Roll's sign being removed, I'm starting to wonder how this end of Coney Mall will look in 2015. It will be interesting to see whether there are more changes nearby in the coming weeks. I'd like to see a refresh of the area that includes the ICEE stand and Flight Commander's queue, immediately south of the arcade. 6 Quote
Nick_Plummer Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I'm going out on a limb here but maybe some kind of dark ride? Quote
milesharrison Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Maybe it's just going to be closed for a few months and then reopen as the arcade next season? Crossthreading. 3 Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Mayhe Coney Mall is getting a nice makeover. SR&R, and now the Arcade? 4 Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I would bet that Zombie Outlet is going in there for Haunt this year. It sounds like a zombie-infested mall- very cool! 2 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I'm going out on a limb here but maybe some kind of dark ride? That arcade is not nearly large enough to house a dark ride. 2 Quote
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Maybe it's just going to be closed for a few months and then reopen as the arcade next season? Crossthreading. Why would KI close the arcade during the middle of a season? Anything they could possibly do to it for next season wouldn't necessitate closing it 2 months early. This being the location of a future Haunt makes the most sense. Quote

[...] This being the location of a future Haunt makes the most sense. Given his "cross-threading" remark, and the thread that had just been created at that time, I'm guessing that that was exactly what he was trying to get at. 2 Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I'd be pretty shocked if they didn't use it as a Haunt attraction, and that's the extent of reasoning as to why it's closed. 2 Quote
myklhicks Posted August 2, 2014 Author Posted August 2, 2014 Most of the arcade games were moved to the other Coney Mall arcade. Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Does the arcade by The Beast still have Guitar Hero? 1 Quote
MDMC01 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Wasn't this arcade used for a Fearfest (under Paramount) maze at one time, or was that the other Coney arcade (the big one near Zephyr)? 1 Quote
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Does the arcade by The Beast still have Guitar Hero?It did last week when I was in there. I really hope that with the shuffling around they are doing the soccer game in that arcade doesn't go anywhere. Even though one of the paddle thingys is getting hard to move around it's still incredibly fun. Quote
upstop Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Wasn't this arcade used for a Fearfest (under Paramount) maze at one time, or was that the other Coney arcade (the big one near Zephyr)? Actually (the other arcade), the storage room behind "Wack-a-mole" was used and you entered in front of the Break A Plate game. You entered through the door on the right when facing the game. There was a Mummy attraction and later a mummy/vampire attraction for Fearfest. You might even still see green/black paint or tape on the ground headed to the door. I haven't looked since the repaving of Coney Mall. 2 Quote
ki95 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 It would be the perfect spot for a Haunt attraction (maybe an alone house like Knotts & Busch Gardens?!) 1 Quote
purdude86 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Yea definitely a perfect spot for a maze and would make sense for why it got shut down mid season. Wonder is we'll be getting another new maze in addition to the revamped Slaughterhouse. Though I hope it's just a standard maze and not an alone upcharge one. As for Coney Mall itself with the removal of it and likely SR&R I hope we get some sort of Coney Mall upgrade for next year with a couple new flats. And redo the south end of the Coney Mall area. 3 Quote
KingsIslandLover04 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 what happened to the arcade and shake rattle and roll?! BTW hi guys im new to this but im really interested in knowing more about the park!!! 1 Quote
ThatGuy11 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 First off, welcome to KIC! If you want to know what is up with Shake, Rattle, and Roll see this discussion: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/29812-whats-up-with-shake-rattle-and-roll/ I also recommend you see the Terms of Service if you haven't already.

BoddaH1994 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 If you look in the side window of the arcade you can see piles of wood. Even more evidence that it will be a Haunt maze. 1 Quote
