BB1 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 In all honesty even though an indoor attraction would be amusing, I just do not see the building as a good for the park. It is a big box in the middle of two world class coasters and to be honest if opened up could make way for a beautiful flat ride location like a sky swing. In the long run the Haunt use is good use during the fall, however it just feels like a blank spot of the park during the spring/summer months that should just be taken out and revitalized. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 As much as I don't like seeing the big box in Rivertown, (including the Slaughthouse building) I don't see it going anywhere until they have a more useful purpose for it or its land. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I am sure this will sound strange to all the long time park fans that remember it as a ride but I can’t say I really notice the box that much when I pass through the area. I know it’s there and big and you can’t miss it but my attention is drawn to other things as I don’t really have a connection to it. At SFSTL one of the old Skyride stations is now an arcade but you wouldn’t know it if you don’t remember the Skyride. But I notice it everytime I pass by and get that little gut wrench in my stomach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 ^yeah, when I started going to the park again in 2014, after a hiatus since around '98, I didn't even notice the box really. It took me getting into the boards here and hearing people talking about the former TR:TR/Crypt building for me to actually focus on it. I guess KI's magic worked for me like in Harry Potter with The Leaky Cauldron and 12 Grimmauld Place. I had to be prompted to see it. It doesn't feel to me to be terribly more obtrusive than any of a number of backstage buildings that have been there forever. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The only way id tear it down is if the log flume comes back or a coaster. Other then that I would love to see them turn the box into " The Phantom Returns". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky21 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What if it was converted into and indoor eating area with shows like another festhaus?? We do need more places to eat inside. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 ^ Great idea. In addition they could make it an arcade for in between shows. Maybe add a bunch of these. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 If they're planning on keeping the building, an in-and-out dark ride similar to Wonder Mountain's Guardian would be a good fit. Whether or not the park wants to overhaul a nearly 2 decade old building is another story. Compact dark rides are fun but operation costs are always a huge reason not to invest in them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I've always liked the idea of a wild mouse in that building. You could use blacklighting and props so the upkeep wouldn't be as cost prohibitive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 I think KI will see something similar to Wonder Mountain's Guardian. My only doubt is if they use the Crypt Building at all since you have to physically install track into a current building that was not built for such a ride. I don't know what the procedure was for CW when they installed WMG so I don't know if a Triotech coaster would work or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe could do a bit of both. Tear down the main building and keep the indoor queue for the line. Could put a Screamin' Swing there with the queue winding through a mine and the ride itself outside with a mining tower theme (similar to the Tower of Terror coater shown below). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 No more roller coasters in Rivertown. One more coaster would be overkill. You need something totally different for Rivertown. How about relocate Congo Falls to Rivertown and installing part of the ride inside the building. Theme it to an escape type ride like Escape From Pompeii at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, but to fit in with Rivertown.

flightoffear1996 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 How about a new log flume! Something theme more and something that could replace RFYLCB. Could tie it in with the Mystic Timbers story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_BEASTmaster Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 ^^Not every space at the park needs to be filled in with a roller coaster. If they do that then we just have another Cedar Point on our hands. Let’s look at what the park really does need instead of what we want. To me they need more flat rides in the adult sections of the park. They’ve taken more flat rides out of there than they did adding. The only ones added in this century was Delirium and WindSeeker. I’m not counting the Crypt/TR:TR since that’s gone now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Rivertown needs a flat more than anything, think Shockwave from Canada's Wonderland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial79 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 ^^That's why I put down the other options as well... It would be nice to see the park add more flat rides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Trees would be nice, but that is not really CF’s style. I like the idea of flats but it takes a lot of them and staff to eat people. Octopuss rides like Monster are my earliest memory of rides as a kid and love them. However, at least the way KI operates them it is just such a ridiculously long wait. Last season on a rather slow day there was no line and it still took nearly half an hour for Kiefer to load, ride and unload. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I wish too- There was something very comfortable about the Giant Top spin - I don't like regular ones (least the one I rode); would spin too quickly, and you're crammed in next to people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
