westcoaster Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Interesting thoughts? Poll of questions ? Future of Wooden Coasters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 You need a "neither" option on the last question, otherwise nobody can answer the poll questions without saying one of them will go hybrid (you cannot answer one question without answering all questions). EDIT: As well as a "no" option on the first. After the SOB debacle, KI may very well never touch wood again for new coasters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yea I voted for The Beast on the third question but only because I had too. I don't see them messing with either one. Racer is a historic coaster and still well liked, plus it fits the theme of that area better than a steel coaster would. The Beast is a classic as well that I don't see being messed with either. Not to say it isn't possible for either but I would be surprised to see it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Somewhere Mr. Helbig is sobbing. Is "sobbing" a term for reminisicing about Son of Beast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyGuy4KI Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Comparing Six and FUN and assuming we will never see a traditional woddie again is kind of silly. It seems SIX is happy and has a good thing going with their hybrids . Plus, just maybe they had a contract with that company for so many? On the FUN side of things, look at Gold Striker just last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Indeed, I wouldn't race to any conclusions just yet. Terp, who remembers when SIXing a park normally meant putting in a Boomerang and an SLC, Vekoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The one that I would vote for which is not an option would be wood coaster like El Toro installed at KI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The one that I would vote for which is not an option would be wood coaster like El Toro installed at KI. Yes, I would like to see a prefab as well. I have never ridden one myself. The only thing that concerns me with FUN about that is "Intamin Coaster" which they don't seem to be doing a lot of business with right now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Note that after El Toro, SIX seems done with sich as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I would say after the accident at Cedar Point, Intamin has to figure out a way to regain their customers' trust and confidence. Has El Toro had problems? I haven't really been around any message boards for quite some time, so I'm out of the "loop". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Even though I voted for a traditional wooden coaster for KI, it would be cool to see an original (not an re-tracking of an existing coaster) RMC hybrid come to Kings Island. And I don't think traditional wooden coasters are completely done for, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I would say after the accident at Cedar Point, Intamin has to figure out a way to regain their customers' trust and confidence. Has El Toro had problems? I haven't really been around any message boards for quite some time, so I'm out of the "loop". I believe it was shut down for a significant amount of time last season. If I remember correctly, it was because of a lift motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
