TombRaiderFTW Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 This sounds vaguely like an outdoor escape room or something like COSI's Adventure located on the land formerly occupied by Dinosaurs Alive. I'm on board with it. I really like those kinds of experiences. I'd be surprised if this isn't an upcharge. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Awesome!! This could go so many different ways! They could start to create different themed areas of the park like Universal Studios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAHill Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I think it's very likely that this will be a slightly re-skinned Ghost Town Alive from Knott's. https://www.knotts.com/explore/ghost-town-alive There's certainly a pre-existing Frontiertown lore with multiple characters to work with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However something like that is very human resource intensive. CP has even more staffing struggles than KI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I too think that this sounds like an escape room challenge. If that ends up being the case, I would most certainly look for it to be an upcharge, both due to the needed resources, and the likely lower capacity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterfestguy Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 If this is anything like Kings Island escape room during Haunt (for the skeleton key rooms) in the Kings Island Theater, this may be a big disappointment- not only is this type of attraction labor intensive, but also very low capacity as Haunt as shown. Not to mention if you find yourself in a group that just wants to look around and not help out with any of the clues of how to escape. When the lines got long, they hurried you through which lessened the overall experience. Thanks goodness that Steel Vengence may still draw in next years attendence at Cedar Point and attract new season pass holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Fox 8 Cleveland says that it will be included with park admission, but I have no idea where they got that info. https://fox8.com/2018/08/21/cedar-point-announces-forbidden-frontier-on-adventure-island-coming-next-summer/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a world where the international part of International Street was still important, I'd love to see something similar there celebrating different cultures and perhaps culminating in some kind of celebration or parade. Doubt we'll see anything like GTA come our way, though--I don't mean this negatively, but I don't think any part of KI has enough themed infrastructure to wrap a story around it at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It would be cool to have increased life entertainment offerings at KI. I still wish that they would bring back the Kings Island Clown band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I've seen a roaming band around KI a couple of times the past few seasons, but not that frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shutter at the ones who have to deal with what happens if it’s an up charge. ”You mean this is all they’re getting AND it costs more??” There was a similar reaction when they added DA, and I don’t think that was all they added that year. I’m not saying you’re wrong. I just think it would be a bad move to continuously tease something if it ends up being an upcharge. They get enough unfounded backlash every time it’s not a new coaster. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 There will not be an upcharge. Tony Clark told cleveland.com the following: "The New attraction will be included with park admission and will not carry an extra fee, as DinosaursAlive! does."

MDMC01 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Saw the video on Twitter Monday and I’m thinking (hoping!) it will be in the same vein as Cosi’s Adventure was. If anything, I’m just glad Millennium Island is being used again; it was a great setting for Dinos and I loved seeing Millennium Force’s track just sprawled out all around the place! #thefutureisridingonit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the future though sadly. Now as for it being similar to GTA, it is too soon to really know. GTA is not a escape room attraction, rather it is almost a league of its own, whereas this one has a escape room vibe, but guess we'll see. I could see Cedar Point trying to adopt similar to it. Definitely gonna follow this. If it is just as family friendly, I'm all for it as GTA's largest fanbase is actually children. Some teenagers partake, but they always seem more interested in trying to flirt with the Doctor. XD Cedar Point has done away with a lot of family friendly attractions and something like GTA and more tame rides be helpful at this point. Can't fix everything with coasters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I am fine with CP’s heavy lean towards the big thrills, but many others want it to be more well rounded with more family attractions. I get it but also believe without the big coaster emphasis it would get lost in the sea of all the others. Why go the expense of traveling to CP if it is just like all the other parks? You can’t be everything to everybody and if I still had sub 48” kids or my youngest was still scared of coasters we probably wouldn't visit as/very often. The loss of Paddle Wheel and the failure of STR are two holes I am confounded CP hasn’t corrected yet. Maybe this will be it. CP doesn’t necessarily need more coasters but replacing a couple of the worst ones with something comparable but more enjoyable would help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have families with elderly, and/or disabled that aren't able to enjoy the coasters or even moderately thrilling rides that are usually left on the sidelines to watch. That is where rides like the boats, ferris wheels, tiques, trains, and a good entertainment lineup come in handy. My immediate family are a perfect example...non verbal autistic brother and a permanently disabled father with heart problems. TRUE family rides (I saw you mentioned STR and others constantly bring up Mystic Timbers) are able to accommodate everyone. From newborn (tho I know they dont get much of anything out of anything in terms of enjoyment), and elderly. What saddens me there was a time where I could consider CP as the family friendly alternative to KI, now its almost the opposite the rate they've been going. Maybe it is because of how I was raised, my grandparents raised me, and we were at CP constantly. My definition of family rides is different and that is no coaster can be considered a family ride. *shrug* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubJester Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 @King Ding Dong I know it's a decent amount of people, but there's a reason why they easily decide to add coasters. I just find it hard to believe someone or a family who would be dissapointed by a coaster sometime in the future at an amusement park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing I find interesting about this frequent criticism of CP is that at least in my view it still beats KI in the “family attraction” category. Skyride, 2 antique cars, Ferris Wheel, more flats, more live entertainment, the beach, a true lazy river. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
