myklhicks Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The arcade across from "Goblet Toss" and beside "Zephyr" has been closed now for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 31, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oysterman Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It would be a cool spot for a haunt maze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted August 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Maybe a refurbished arcade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Plummer Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm going out on a limb here but maybe some kind of dark ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesharrison Posted August 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Mayhe Coney Mall is getting a nice makeover. SR&R, and now the Arcade? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted August 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted August 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted August 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myklhicks Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Most of the arcade games were moved to the other Coney Mall arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted August 2, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted August 2, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted August 2, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ki95 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 It would be the perfect spot for a Haunt attraction (maybe an alone house like Knotts & Busch Gardens?!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted August 4, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted August 5, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
