SonofBaconator Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Anything that Canada's Wonderland has gotten is fair game for KI in my opinion. Delirium, Drop Tower, and WindSeeker are all fun but something lime Lumberjack or Soaring Timbers would be a welcomed addition to the park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 The giant claw looking ride would be awesome to have at KI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by far one of the worse flats in the park... The cycle they run it on is beyond tame, and the seats cram you in there like a multi-person straight jacket... I'd compare the seats on it to another ride, but I can't think of one that is that bad... If you're near it, just skip it and ride Lumberjack twice 41 minutes ago, Maverick44 said: The giant claw looking ride would be awesome to have at KI. Unfortunately, the Jump^2 is one of a kind for a reason... They haven't built another because this one is a maintenance headache and has more downtime than the rest of the flats in the park combined... Should you ever see it running, ride it ASAP before it breaks again... And when it goes down, it could be a day, week or month to get the part to fix It IS a great flat though...

Benjamin22 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I’d love an S&S Screamin swing over in X-Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 ^^ I was thinking it would look nice in the Coney Mall area and swing over midway. I am just not sure where it could go lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaFlyer Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Someone said it earlier, but I really want an Enterprise back. I loved Witches Wheel at Cedar Point and Volcano at Kennywood, and recently rode Scream Xtreme (Zamperla Endeavor) at KK. I'd love to see them bring back a Skylab sized Enterprise, as we'd need the capacity. Another great ride is the Zamperla Hawk, like Kennywood's Aero 360. Similar to the old Intamin Looping Starships, but with higher capacity and two counter-rotating pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I think a Zamperla Air Race would be neat as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I think an Air Race or similar style ride would make a great fit for X-Base along with an Enterprise to round out the land and give it variety. Both could easily be themed to an air base. i think a Screamin Swing would be a great addition to the park as a whole and while it would fit X-Base well I think it could work well in Rivertown. Tear down the Crypt building and put it there with a mining rig theme and use the existing queue to keep the mine theme. It could even be worked in the the Mystic Timbers story of the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I wouldn’t mind some new flats for the kiddos and then maybe an S&S screaming swing. A Ferris wheel at some point would be nice and a sky ride maybe going down the middle of Coney Maul would be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivertown Rider Posted July 25, 2019 Author Share Posted July 25, 2019 I would love to see Oktoberfest be the next general section of the dry park to get some love after the presumed Giga next year. My predictions: 2020- Giga/Xbase improvements 2021- Planet Snoopy expansion: Teacups (see Woodstock Whirlybirds at KD and Carowinds) and Pig Pen's Mud Buggies added; Woodstock Gliders relocated to Coney Mall and re-named Flying Eagles and placed where 3-point Challenge is now; 3-point Challenge relocated to Action Zone) 2022- Oktoberfest (Musik Express and Screamin' Swing added; Hank's re-themed to German eatery; new pathway opened between Viking Fury and Coney bathrooms; Airbrush stand relocated) 2023- Soak City refurb 2024- RMC ground-up wooden coaster in Action Zone; Congo Falls demolished 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 With X-Base getting some attention with a new coaster, I'd be happy with a flat in that area. I'd love a Screamin Seing themed to flight/space between Racer and Flight of Fear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I really hope we get some new flats in the next couple years. The park has a great coaster lineup but a little weak on the flats. a screaming swing in X-Base would be a great addition with the new coaster. A return of Der Spinning Keggers to Oktoberfest and a new top spin themed to lumber or mining in Rivertown would be great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love that too! That big ugly box in Rivertown blocks off great land for new flats and potentially a new log flume! I just don’t know if Cedar Fair will invest in another log flume/water ride after how the last one turned out... Spoiler We have Intamin to thank for that!
