KIFan1 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 If KI does get a dark ride, who should design it? I say we get both a Sally Corp and a Triotech dark ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacc1993 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I hope if they get a new dark ride, they find a way to keep Boo Blasters. I happen to really like Boo Blasters. Not sure if I'm in the majority of everyone on here on that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum91 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 ^I agree, especially given the fact that a dark ride in the style of Guardian of Wonder Mountain or Justice League has a minimum height requirement. Boo Blasters is a phenomenal family attraction in the fact there is no minimum height requirement and guests of all ages can enjoy. That being said, I wouldn't mind if parts were slightly updated or upkept better. The ending scenes, with flashing lights and demonic skeletons, is also somewhat questionable for a family attraction. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacc1993 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I would be fine with it being upgraded as long as it remains a shooting dark ride. So much fun for everyone! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Majority, I would think no (could be wrong)... If you were to say Phantom Theater then probably yes. My major concern with Boo Blasters, is that they have let some of the special effect slip away and also seem to not care about most of the guns and if their working or not... When BBBH first opened, It was actually a quite cool little dark ride, now I would say not as much... I would really like to see a dark ride like Universal Orlando's Men in Black Alien Attack. Something that moves at uneven paces, has guests interact with one another, guns that show where their shooting, a more immersed feeling, fog (an effect even MIB lost), and spinning of the cart, at a similar speed/power. @ zacc1993, Welcome to KIC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yea I'm not sure about keeping Boo Blasters bu I'm all for keeping that as a seperate family dark ride and then getting something like Battle for Metropolis or even Wonder Mountain's Guardian, though I'd prefer the Justice League one right now. If we got a new updated shooting one I'd hope that they convert Boo Blasters into a new dark ride that is one you can just ride through. MAybe themed to Peanuts since it's in that area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsislandfan1972 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I like interactive rides I seem to like the Buzz Lightyear Star Command Ride at DisneyWorld. But a normal non-interactive dark ride would be alright too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Here are my thoughts: If KI can only have 1 dark ride, I'd say ditch Boo Blasters and replace it with something better. If KI is open to having more than one dark ride, I'd say keep Boo Blasters, update it a little, then add the new dark ride in another area of the park. I don't know though. I don't know if I see KI having more than one dark ride. I think it would be great. How could would it be to be in another area of the park besides Planet Snoopy and be able to ride a dark ride? That's something that's never been able to be done at KI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 If Kings Island does another dark ride, why not use either the former Crypt building or perhaps the Action Theater building? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 ^Those would be my first 2 choices as far as location. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortex Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 If Kings Island got another dark ride I hope they get rid of the guns. They don't work half the time and kinda boring when the only thing it does is make sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Job 2005 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hmmm Is Boo Blasters located in Planet Snoopy or International Street due to it's non-PEANUTS theming? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoaster Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Kings Island needs to be a little more like Knotts (A Knotts for the east), a nice dark ride in addition not a take away of Boo Blasters would be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I think the X-base would be best for a new dark ride as it could be themed around aliens or some other sort of strange creature(s). Or if AZ gets re-themed more around The Bat and Banshee then their probably wouldn't be a bad spot for a new dark ride. As anywhere else, I feel the ride would be out of place... Another idea would be a family dark ride themed around Peanuts and the gang. Would be ideal for with the Peanuts movie coming out at Christmas time 2015. Continue to give this part of the park attention for the 2016 season. This may really spark kids to love the Peanut gang (the movie and/or the dark ride)! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTD-120-420 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Does Canada's Wonderland's new dark ride have physical sets at all or is it strictly just screens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Sally Corp would be the more likely and they can make some good stuff. But if I had to pick I'd go with Oceaneering International. They are the ones that did the Spiderman and Transformers ones for Universal, Curse of Darkkastle, and are building the new Battle for Metropolis ones for Six Flags (Sally Corp is providing the animatronics though and they look great) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Guy Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Oktoberfest needs some love. I wonder if a German themed dark ride is doable. I would be equally happy with an old-fashioned walk-through attraction like Noah's Ark at Kennywood or Frankenstein's Castle at Indiana Beach. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 A great dark ride in Oktoberfest would rock. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ahh I see it now, the river of beer you flow on to get to the giant pretzel filled with bratwurst and sauerkraut at the end, while fighting off men with accordions and in suspenders, with this song playing though out the ride: Honestly though, I love German stuff. I loved taking it as a foreign lang. and would love to visit it. In all honesty I would love for a German themed dark ride! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 It could be as German as the Fest Haus... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsislandfan1972 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 How about making WWC into a ride where you still get wet at the same parts but your in a dark tunnel like a mine, I would ride that most definitly and would fit quite well in RiverTown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCryptCrusader Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I would love to see a dark ride of any kind pop up in Oktoberfest and or Rivertown. Dark rides are some of my personal favorites. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
