purdude86 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It's a shame we are just now getting Adventure Port as the Tomb Raider ride would have fit in a lot better there. Though even then might have put it in Rivertown. Italian Job was a perfect fit thematically for Action Zone and it still went to Coney Mall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely not gonna move Congo Falls at this point though. It's far too old and requires complex plumbing to make it work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Mike point you out and aknowledge the idea at Coasterstock? He must really like the idea. Hopefully corporate agrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're coming back to America with a bang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnjniehaus Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yes I absolutely loved the Houdini themed Mad House at Six Flags Great Adventure and as far as I know there's only 3 or 4 in the USA so it would be a welcome ride to Kings Island that could have a great story mode to it. I'd like to see the building get a facelift with perhaps a mine/oil rig design but if that's too difficult or expensive at least paint it brown or something other than the "I'm screaming that I don't belong here white" color that it currently is. However, I think the madhouse is a great idea, great ride, and would also be something families can ride (lower height requirements) and is also an indoor ride that can operate in inclement weather and during winterfest! I'm all for it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Another ride idea for here if they kept the building would be Intamin's dynamic motion stage. This would provide another thrilling, yet still family level, indoor ride for the park, that also has plenty of great theming opportunities for it. The biggest question mark for it would be Cedar Fair working with Intamin again but they could always give them another chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic motion stage (Including Dynamic attraction's version.) Cost way to much money and take longer to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 At this point, I’m wondering if anything will be done. I know it’s been discussed that the building needs to be addressed but it seems like it’s constantly on the back burner because of newer, more pressing projects: Vortex needs to be replaced, Invertigo is likely the next big coaster to go, Soak City and Planet Snoopy both need attention. It’s serving as a haunted house so there’s no reason to outright demolish it when it serves a purpose. It’s too small to put something new in it like DarKoaster. I can’t think of a realistic timeline that the building would come into play, unless management gets sick of looking at it and decides to demo in favor of a flat ride and call it a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct. Add Action Zone reno to the list. It's tired and outdated. Short of painting the building to blend in, there's not much that can be done to the eyesore, but for after dark, both it and Flight of Fear would be a great canvas for projection mapping. Imagine being in Rivertown in the dark with a story happening, or in area 72 with meteors crashing around you. ( The other side for adventure port could have jungle themes) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I brought back this topic to shed some new light into it. I heard rumors about what is going on in that building, Explaining why Madam is the only maze to feature a lights on tour, and why Kali is being light up in special effects for Tricks and Treats. Madam might be showcasing her wax figure for the last time. Which means that this maze is it's final year. And what I think is that the entire white box will be removed to make way for something new. Either a Vekoma Madhouse or something else... whatever it's going to be, I recommend to experience her museum before it's goes bye bye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Imo if true, I think that area could be where the drone launching pad could move to. I don't think The Vortex spot should be the drone launching pad forever as it is a piece of prime land in the back of the park and obviously they can't build a coaster there and launch the drones there. I think they could make it work if they launch the drones high enough in that area where you could still see them on I street. They probably would have to close Diamondback early though like they do with Beast and Orion, but tbh I think having the star attractions suspend operations for fireworks helps encourage people to watch the show in the front of the park.
