dwitb Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Where is everyone getting this two attractions since 1972 stuff? 3 Quote
coasterking88 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Don wins the internet today. Knowing him there is always something behind every post and angle, things are very thought out.... 9 Quote
thoe124 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 They could reverse one side of The Racer again. It would be an interesting and nostalgic twist on the ride! 7 Quote

KIfan73 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Really?? Through the 2015 season, The Racer gave over 100 million rides. Being a classic, it was enjoyed by almost everybody. pic.twitter.com/RnMd6NqFz4— Kings Island Central (@KICentral) August 18, 2015 2 Quote
jdf21972 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Most traffic I've seen in a thread in a short amount of time. Don likes to stir not shake. 8 Quote

Oldschool75 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Posted August 18, 2015 Take your choice on what 2 will be gone next year. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. Quote
LordSkippy Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 The folks up at Cedar Point could learn a thing or two from KI's PR department about how to build hype without seeming pretentious, and another few things from Holiday World's PR department about not botching announcements by having the surprise ruined. 7 Quote
jdf21972 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 All season refill cups for sale on Cedar Point website for $22.99 & usual souvenir cups also available. Brown cups on website and brown track spotted on Ohio Turnpike today. Cedar Point announcement tomorrow it's all coming together. 3 Quote
BlondyRidesOn Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 If this is a troll, and The Racer is spared, what if the "two things that everyone has experienced since 1972" that are leaving are the Eiffel Tower and Fountains? It would be the perfect distraction. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Gosh, I hope one's not the Eiffel Tower! (That's of course unless they'd replace it with a bigger, better one, and let me have/buy a piece of the original steel.) EDIT: (For the record, I know I've made artwork and videos that have done everything to that poor tower, but to see it go would be truly devastating to me.) 9 Quote
malem Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Most attractions are comprised of many different things.Just saying. 2 Quote

EDIT: (For the record, I know I've made artwork and videos that have done everything to that poor tower, but to see it go would be truly devastating to me.) The Eiffel Tower would cost way too much money to take down. I'm thinking more something that been turning for awhile 2 Quote
WindingSon Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Barring something going horribly wrong, I'll be there tomorrow. Anyone else? 4 Quote
Diamondback96 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Now that I think about it, a new front gate and a complete overhaul of the fountains would be perfect. I think all this Racer talk is just Don trying to get us worked up. He knows how we reacted to another park removing a similar coaster. 9 Quote
Logan Goddard Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Lets not forget the Don is a Racer junkie he would fight for The Racer to stay up as long as it was a safe ride. I am hoping for a renovation to the front entrance. 15 Quote
Nick_Plummer Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Don't want to get in trouble for having my phone out on the second day of my Freshman year but I have study hall at 2:00. I might just have to check when the teacher's not looking 9 Quote
FEARSOMERIDER Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but two things that have been at Kings Island since 1972 are the TWO Trains, Green and Blue. 6 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 "Oh, yeah, sure, Don. Just when I was within 11,788 rides of catching up to your record. Nice! :P" 9 Quote
WindingSon Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Local media has picked it up, with some speculation: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2015/08/18/kings-island-announcement/31948395/ Kings Island's Twitter retweeted this story. This one is funny because apparently KI announced nothing new for 2015: http://www.wlwt.com/news/kings-island-to-announce-new-attraction-for-2016-season/34788480 5 Quote

I am hoping for a renovation to the front entrance. True. Considering Don's history with that beloved ride, I'm not sure he would stand for such a thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote
RollerNut Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I doubt he wood stand for it if it meant his job either. 12 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 ◄ I've brought out the "lucky avatar" just in case. 8 Quote
Bansheeback Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Don specifically said he didn't think that racer was going anywhere, as it is in the top 5 of yearly ridership. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote
