Outdoor Man Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Waking up to dust off my profile for just my third post since November. Kings Island in 2018- looking forward to the former Dodgem (& Cuddle Up) Building replacement... with a tasty Coney Island theme of the Soak City Smoke House. Dinosaur's Alive, intriguing concept- stuck around a LOT longer than I thought it would. Replacement for that, I'd love a well-themed X-Base expansion that gives an experience you'll come back for time and time again. Hope that the proverbial "giga" isn't destined for that area. It would just be a larger version of Diamondback- and thus move it towards obsolescence. Unique/Creative experience will trump a "thrill" every time and keep lines coming back. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOULLBEBACK Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 It won't happen, as I know it's a business and all that...but I'd love to see 2018 bring considerably less "bring a friend" days. It creates such a packed park and really lessens the overall experience. And a lot of times they pop up a few days prior...so if you've made plans to go a specific day and see that, you know you're in for a busy day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I guess I'm not understanding where the "they're going to be too hot" idea is coming from. There are plenty of coasters with black seats. Unless a seat is empty, the trains aren't sitting in direct sunlight while in operation for very long. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the DB seats. People are going to be sitting in them all day, when are they going to get that hot? Other rides have black seats, it's going to be ok. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivertown Rider Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm not sure if anybody had seen the news that Dorney will have an all season locker rental add on. I wonder if this will be something that comes chain wide. More lockers would help with capacity if rides like DB did not have storage bins. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'd like that a lot ^^ When I want to do water park in the same day and regular park. That would be great! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 It's going to be tested at Dorney to see if it will be something that can roll out at all parks. I'm not going to lie, I was kind of shocked to see the price tag as $100 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Whoa. I may rethink that if it will coast that much! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 $100 seems reasonable to me especially if it includes the water park and even better if it has platinum pass benefits. Zoombezi Bay charges $69 for an all season locker rental. Might not be worth it for singles, but if you have kids especially little ones with all the accessories they require. https://zoombezibay.columbuszoo.org/home/visit/enhance-your-experience/locker-rental 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
