Imperial79 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Okay so if you had the option to rename any ride at Kings Island what ride would it be and its new name? 2 Quote
freaks76 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I said it somewhere before somewhere. I'd rename Banshee to Mantis. Just for the reaction. 5 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Can't think of one at KI but "The Giant Wheel" at CP??? Seems rather generic, is there a backstory to that? Quote
benny1388 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Woodstock Express - "Beastie" kidding (kinda) edit: Doh! Somehow missed PKI96's post... ok, so...Delirium - "Spinning Pendulum Thing" ...??? Quote
chad_1138 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 The Bat --> Top Gun Invertigo --> Face/Off Stunt Coaster --> The Italian Job ...ah, I miss the PKI days... 5 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I'd rename "Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown" to "Camp Remote," because it's already painted on a much-larger sign than the entry sign of said attraction, and has fewer syllables. 12 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 The Bat – Orange Gun Shake, Rattle & Roll – “Spirograph, the Experience!” WindSeeker – “Pink Floyd’s Light Show, The Ride” Red Racer – Emmet Fitz-Hume Blue Racer – Austin Millbarge Drop Tower – System of a Down Eiffel Tower – Rustbubble’s Revenge The Vortex – Chiropracturion! Diamondback – Reptile Cage White Water Canyon – “Rainbow Kraken, and the Legend of the Coin-Rich Madman” 8 Quote
MDMC01 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 WindSeeker- "WindAvoider" I think I'd keep it WindSeeker as it does its job At one time, I wanted to rename Banshee "High Voltage", but I've since found a new association for that coaster based in the Hoenn Region of Pokemon. However, it would be cool if each of Tropical Plunge's slides had individual names. 1 Quote

silver2005 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I don't have a name in mind (most I do have either refer to disasters or are too cliche), but I wouldn't mind seeing Congo Falls get renamed. 1 Quote
MaestroJr Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Invertigo to a name similar to its FACE/OFF days like Face to Face or something like that. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I don't have a name in mind (most I do have either refer to disasters or are too cliche), but I wouldn't mind seeing Congo Falls get renamed. I've thought "Little Miami Splashdown" would be a cool name for it. I even came up with a new sign (The splash would have to be made out of a product like Lucite, and would be lit at night with blue and white LEDs that would cause it to shimmer). Something like this would add local flavor to the ride, and would add just a touch of theme on par with the Banshee sign... enjoy! 14 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Boo Blasters On Boo Hill: Life With D. Kinzel That's perfect! Even though it's not a ride, what about Dick Kinzel ALIVE! AT Kings Island IS The World's Largest Animatronic Dinosaur Park! 5 Quote
Tr0y Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Woodstock gliders renamed as the Flying Eagles. Woodstock express renamed to The Beastie. 2 Quote

And the park should hire you as sign designer or something. 3 Quote
King Ding Dong Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 ^Agreed. Cool sign, nice job. With that sign I might even be tempted to ride it. (Walk on only) 1 Quote
Imperial79 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Posted June 28, 2016 I always thought when I was little, that Beastie was named 'Little Beastie'' till I came back to the park in 2001. Kind of surprised when it was just 'Beastie'. So I'd rename Woodstock Express - Little Beastie! 1 Quote

The Interpreter Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 No. Time Warner would also not be amused. Quote
freaks76 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Time Warner are a**'s. More and more every month. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Time Warner Cable is not related to Time Warner. Quote

DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 I'd rename Backlot Stunt Coaster. I'd change it to Disaster Transport. Quote
