calakapepe Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 What if the 2nd major announcement ends up being something to do with a long vacant area?Where is that? I can't tell due to the sideways photos.Sent from my SM-G530T using Tapatalk Yeah. I used the photo capture via tapatalk.. dont know why it saved sideways. Next time I'll take it with my camera first 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 It's hidden in the bushes in the first picture and was used for the queue for Killmart during Haunt. It's right next to the Icee shop on the mall. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIfan73 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 What if the 2nd major announcement ends up being something to do with a long vacant area? That's funny. I took some pics of the same area when I was at the park last Monday. Has there ever been a Haunt here?

Magenta Lizard Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The queue was used for Killmart last year, but it hasn't been used as a haunt itself afaik. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonODiamondback Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I got a theory. Carowinds is suppose to get five flat rides next year. But they are running a teaser campaign #VOTEFOURMORE. so maybe they are only going to get four and KI is getting one. It's just a wild guess. But I am curious on what the four means.

RollerNut Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well y'all have a Wave Swinger and a Troika. Troika, Musik Express and Top Scan have been seen on property at Carowinds so that leaves the Break Dance 4..... The family(near kiddy) verison of the Huss Break Dance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Or maybe we are getting our own flat rides. They did say they was going to Japan after Europe, and it would be a major announcement. I think that would be a major announcement. Be nice to see the Cuddle Up and others make a return. . Maybe I'm just dreaming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AintNutinElse2Do Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'd love a Intamin 1st Gen especially if they converted to magnetic breaks and if done right it could work well in the box. But if we're getting Japanese stuff I'd like an Ultra Twister while we're at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Guy Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'd go with that plane thing that Canada's Wonderland got or or a Zamperla Air Race for the Flight Commander spot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautyandtheBeast Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 We second the SkyHawk at Canada's Wonderland! Lots of fun! But please make it a longer ride. By the time you get going and doing maneuvers , it's over. Also, I'd be pleased with their Sledgehammer or Shockwave as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I personally would hope the next capital expenditure being wouldn't be something for Action Theater.....for a couple of reasons. I don't know Mass Effect and don't know many who do. (not saying there isn't folks here that don't).Plants Vs. Zombies at Carowinds was fun, but I don't feel as if it's done correctly. There are two screens with 34 people on each side.....those 34 people on your side every time they shoot (including you) a round circle with the number is shown on the screen where the person has shot....now trying to find your number on a screen with 33 other folks isn't easy. Not to mention, it's not calibrated correctly. I tried to stay center of the screen and my number would pop up to the far left of the screen. I think it's a great building for Haunt....I personally would rather have it expand through both "theaters" to be a bigger haunt. The building also hosts tech services for the park......while a ride or attraction wouldn't really have any change in that. So if it were a "major" attraction, that could move tech services. There also is a bottle neck to get to that area....imagine how much worse it'd be if it were to be a big investment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki95 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 MAYBE a Planet Snoopy expansion? I come to this conclusion by a recent addition to the KI events page on the site (https://www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/events-and-promotions): Happy Birthday Snoopy. Maybe an announcement like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU8-9jNdh4w With (some of) these flat rides: PEANUTS Pirates The Pumpkin Patch Sally's Love Buggies Snoopy's Revolution Flying Ace Balloon Race Woodstock Whirlybirds (tea cups) Beagle Brigade Airfield 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool75 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'd be happy if they removed our Eagles from Carowinds to make room for the new flats, and bring it home where it belongs! Sent from my iOS 10 device 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 If Planet Snoopy were to expand again, I'd want this version of Peanuts Pirates I got the NoChicken's on it this year (I rode it last year) and I think they enjoyed it as much as I do. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I don't know Mass Effect and don't know many who do. (not saying there isn't folks here that don't). From what I've heard, Mass Effect: New Earth is actually pretty good. After all, it's not a glorified MMO with motion seats. If Action Theater were to get ME:NE or something similar using a EA property, I'd be up for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your own, let us keep our's; don't steal it like we did the Flyers. Just messing, it is my favorite flat ride in the park. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 the mention of Planet Snoopy sparked my memory. Valleyfair had a really cool, 2 story "fun area" (not sure what to call it) for kids that featured a bunch of soft foam ball shooters,vacuum tubes to suck the balls up from the first floor to the 2nd so that they could be loaded into the "shooters" from above, ramps, etc...... All in the comfort of AC. it was a pretty cool area that could be enjoyed by kids of several ages. Not sure how to describe properly in order to do it proper justice, but something like that ramped up with more climbing nets and slides would be a hit in Planet Snoopy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Gut what's left of the Action Theater, knock it down , and put it a Ferris Wheel. Now's your chance Kings Island! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could possibly put a ride on top if they were to tear it down, however, I think it's unlikely anything but a motion theater still attraction would be located in that spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOBwasaSOB Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Mass Effect has a super interesting universe and could be amazing, but the games were pretty adult oriented. I would think they would have to water it down to make it more family oriented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did James Bond before with no problems. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureExpress35 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 If they did a Ferris wheel it would have to be really big. Maybe the largest in the US? I know the one at KK is pretty large. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
