CoasterOhio Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I wouldn't mind having the worlds longest roller coaster at the park once again. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark6495 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 And let's not forget that CP and KI are owned by the same people. If they make both parks the same then what's the point of visiting both. Also there is no objective way to say which is best. You can do objective data to show which has more inversions or coasters etc. but a perfect visit could make one park "better" in your eyes or someone else's.

MadMaverick Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Banshee, Adventure Express, The Beast, and Racer are in my opinion far better rides than Raptor, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Meanstreak, and Blue Streak. Vortex is far better than Corkscrew. Magnum and Diamondback is a push to me. If KI gets a giga the only thing KI would be missing is something comparable to Maverick.We'd be missing something comparable to Maverick, Gatekeeper and Valravn. I don't even count TTD since it's not open half the time. Honestly have yet to ride Valravn, but to me Gatekeeper is one dull ride I could do without completely. It's more like a nice calm ride i can take my children on once their tall enough to start riding. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 CP does have a great lineup of coasters, but for me I happen to just prefer some of the experiences KI's coasters provide in comparison to their CP counterparts, Vortex > Corkscrew Adventure Express > Cedar Creek Mine Ride Beast > Mean Streak Banshee > Raptor Diamondback > Magnum The Bat > Iron Dragon Now if 2017 is a B&M Giga or a nice terrain hugging GCI woodie with a great layout, KI would another great experience CP doesn't have. We may not have a strata coaster, a wingrider, or twisted impulse coaster, but CP doesn't have a Vekoma Flying Dutchman, a Vekoma Inverted Boomerang, or 2 Premier Launched coasters. Two different lineups, both great in their own right in my opinion. It just makes me anxious for more Project 2017 info or leaks to come to light and how KI will wow us with the new attraction, will it be the longest, tallest, or fastest of it's kind? Agree, they each offer stuff the other one doesn't. As others said I'm sure they want to try to keep them at least a bit diverse too, helps encourage people to visit both versus one over the other. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sythe Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 It looks like KD is probably getting a dark ride. So I think we can rule out a dark ride at KI next year (if anyone even things a dark ride is coming anymore...) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more like a nice calm ride i can take my children on once their tall enough to start riding. I thought the same about GK, then I rode in the back row. It was a completely different experience that actually compares to Banshee. Also, for all you caught up in the CP-KI debate, remember there's more than just coasters. My favorite part about CP is the Frontier Trail. I wish Kings Island still had something even close to that brilliantly themed area. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoraX Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 After visiting 2 Six TX parks and KK, I am really hoping for an RMC. I didn't get the hype until experiencing an RMC. I have heard a lot of argument regarding why it is not going to happen, but it's what I want. I am sure KI or CF doesn't care what I want. However, my birthday is about the time KI opens and it would be a great birthday gift. Oh, if Mean Streak received TLC from RMC, that would be great. I didn't ride NTG preRMC, but was told it was compatible to Mean Streak. Two completely different experiences.

Fubar Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Vortex > Corkscrew Adventure Express > Cedar Creek Mine Ride Beast > Mean Streak Banshee > Raptor Diamondback > Magnum The Bat > Iron Dragon We are agreed on this with the exception of Diamondback being Greater than Magnum. Both are beautiful rides that I love. I will give a slight edge to the Magnum due to it being 20 Years older and the very first of the hyper coasters and every bit as good of a layout as Diamondback. The Banshee is only slightly better than Raptor IMO. KI has no answer for Valravn, Rougarou, Maverick, or Gatekeeper. This is just my opinion, but I feel that the middle of CP's coaster lineup is far superior. I love both parks and hope that they continue to add coasters! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KI also doesn't have a Dive Machine or a world class Multi Launch terrain coaster (which has terrible capacity). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubar Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 My favorite part of KI is that they have the ability to naturally have their coasters take a path through the woods and hills. Cedar Point does not have that. I hope the next coaster built at KI really utilizes the terrain well. If they do build a giga, I think it would be sweet if most of it is really low to the ground following the first couple of hills, or a multi lift would be sweet as well. A giga with a second lift hill like Beast has would be epic. Probably cost too many $'s though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegajone Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I tried to catch up on this thread, really. But being away from home for 5 days and the activity in this thread...yeah, that just ain't happening. I know it's not as fun to think about, but some mention of trees being taken down in the area of the back side of Diamondback, unless it's a mass removal of trees (a handful, or selective cuts), it could just be a safety thing and/or done for the health of the surrounding trees (to prevent some sort of blight/fungus/etc from spreading among the rest of the wooded area). Not that I have any knowledge of that from looking at having to deal with some not-so-healthy mature sycamore trees on my own property. On the fun side of this topic, if someone were (or knew) a pilot and flew over the area with a camera and shared them here...would that be in violation of any KI or KIC rules/policies? I don't have a sectional chart in front of me, but know KI is skirting Class B air space, which means it's 'under' Class C air space, but I think it's legal to fly there under FAA rules (if maintaining proper altitude etc). I know this doesn't answer your question but one thing I regret is losing all the pictures I took of KI from a prop plane that my buddy flew me around in 14 years ago. It was a cool experience and one I'll never forget, though I wish I still had those photos to help me reminisce.Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
