I'm blown away by the early visuals. They've sort of outdone themselves on this one. Rivertown has become the best themed areas in the park (going way back). Please, please, please don't ruin it with "pop" music; not unlike bright, cheerful videos in the Boo Hill line queue. Rivertown has: The Beast Diamondback (no all "Rivertown"... but close'ish) Train Whitewater Canyon If not mistaken, Run for your life Charlie Brown is in Rivertown too... would be good for a "lumber/logging" retheme because it certainly "fits" with its new neighbor. But since the entrance is decidedly Planet Snoopy possibly not. Mystic Timbers seems to pull it all together. It seems really well done. What would also complete Rivertown would be to bring back The Beast watermill. That would be amazing! 7

I don't think that will be very long from now. Probably a dark ride in the Crypt building within the next couple of years. 3
calakapepe Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Hopefully.. but I dont see it too soon as we are getting an attraction on this area of the park this year 3

But a good dark ride would be a very welcome addition in my eyes. 3

Elizabeth19 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Hey, I love the Taylor Swift music! lol. But it would be nice to have music that fit the theme of Rivertown. 2
CocaColaParking Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 This might be akin to KI blasphemy, but I have a feeling MT could give The Beast a run for it money when it comes to the best night rides. From what has been shown with the themeing, the ride being low to the ground and in the woods with not much light, and not to mention whatever is in the shed. I cannot wait for a mid-july ride at about 11:30pm or so. 10

I think the only place where that music would be somewhat appropriate for Action Zone and Planet Snoopy (Mixed with original Peanuts music!) The other areas seem to have a theme that just doesn't gel with those songs and it really takes you out of the experience sometimes. Nothing like a walk through an old Rivertown without a good Lady Gaga song! 7

But the area is still incomplete. I think every Rivertown along the river has a ghost story.... and KI needs a thrilling haunted mansion... and the big brown box would be the perfect place to put one. 6
jdf21972 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Could it happen, Mystic Timbers Radio station on Pandora just like Cedar Point has Valravn radio station. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7

I listed all of those places because they are spread out throughout the park, with the exception of not knowing where the Giga and next flat ride will go, although, I think the next flat ride will go somewhere in Coney or Action Zone, and the Giga will go in X-Base or Action Zone. This will leave a good 2-3 years of building new attractions at different points of the park before coming back to Rivertown for the Triotech dark ride in old the Crypt building. Of course, this is all conjecture and possible for none of it to happen, but I think there is a good chance. 3

We already had a haunted mansion.. er I mean "theater".... I miss the Maestro... That "Big Brown Box" also takes up a ton of real estate that would be utilized, in my opinion anyway. 4
thekidd33 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong but I do not believe any of those were purchased directly from HUSS though. While it may signal their willingness to work more closely with them, it also may be that they took a good look at what models were most reliable before their European shopping spree. 4
silver2005 Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 I thought HUSS went bankrupt and/or is out of business, mainly from Dollywood suing them into oblivion. 4
WWC2003Amy Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 As of December they are still in business. At least per their company news line Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
KatieF Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I wish Kings Island did one 24/7 day per season like WDW did a few years ago. MT and The Beast at 3am? Yes, please! I'm sure there are reasons why this can't happen but a girl can dream! 5

What thekidd33 said. Those are all older models, presumably from the searching CF did in Europe. The only one of those that is still offered on HUSS's website is the Condor (Falcon's Flight.) I'm not sure how involved with that process HUSS may or may not have been. The more modern Top Spins from Worlds of Fun, Knott's, California's Great America, Kings Island, and Dorney Park have all removed within the last five years. And if you exclude ours since it was the only Giant Top Spin and therefore different, then you still have four Cedar Fair Top Spins that were removed during the off-seasons of 2015-16, 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2014-15, respectively. 3
Melody Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I wish we would get a new HUSS ride. They make my all time favorite (non coaster) rides. First was Tomb Raider and second to that Delirium / MaXair 3

But I think from a financial point of view, they wouldn't even consider it as it means using a lot of power all day, every day. Plus there's the staffing, enough to keep the park in operation and generally most places offer a higher salary for night shift employees as an incentive. However, I would love it if the park had a few extra hours for 21 & up pass holders on weekend nights. Chiller temperatures. Less people in line. No teens. No children. Maybe a club scene of some sort somewhere in the park. Once again, I can dream... 4
Creed Bratton Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I just really hope that fanfare/instrumental music comes back to International Street. 12

Cedar Fair is listing HUSS as the manufacturer of the new flat ride additions to the aforementioned parks. Furthermore, the Condor 2G (Falcon's Flight) ride is listed on HUSS' website. I was simply stating that I heard Cedar Fair was working with HUSS again, and because of this, I am hopeful this will be the start of more Cedar Fair-Huss projects in the future, therefore, yielding a possibility of KI getting a HUSS Jump flat ride. Whether or not HUSS has sold some of their designs, or is subbing their engineering/manufacturing/marketing process out to another firm(s), is besides the point here. You can "Top-Spin it" all you want , but Cedar Fair wouldn't mention HUSS in ANY WAY if they didn't want to restart or continue their business relationship with them. 2

I don't really remember though. But other than that, there are probably other reasons they cannot operate past a certain time. 4
