culinaryjoey Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I hope Kings Island would get some Coney Rides next year? Despite they have no plans get Coney rides as of right now . I see in the future Python would become Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin Chaser in Planet Snoopy area at KI next year CoasterRz. Here the list they would get: Python turn into Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin Chaser or New Bavarian Beetle Rock O Plane at Coney Mall section to keep legacy alive for Coney and LeSourdesville Lake in Cincinnati area River Runner turn into Viking Ship 2 or Camp Snoopy Boat Ship Wipe Out can be on former Cyrpt building or in Action Zone section Tempest to keep legacy alive for Coney and LeSourdesville Lake in Cincinnati area Tilt-A-Whirl Round Up at Area 51 near Coney Mall Top Spin can be on former Cyrpt building as well or some where in Kings Island section Flying Bobs That's list for now 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombraiderTy Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Shared on Rides-4-U's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/rides4u/) At the bottom, "2004 25-meter Moser Tower (never used)" Anyone know more about this? Was it in storage at Coney? For how long? And was it relocated from another park before-hand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 As far as I know, there was never any ride in storage at Coney. The only ride that was in storage this year (in the boneyard) was the Round Up, which was removed because it needed a new part that cost more than the ride was worth. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonahWilliamson Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I wish KI would at least get python. Add to the Coaster count. Keep it in Nati. Put it on the opposite side of Diamondback next to the theater. Would be a dope spot to have a little guy there. The capacity just isnt there for them to buy it though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Not to mention that Python is far from being the most comfortable coaster of its class. The fourth row of the train can't even be used because of how violent it would be. It's a decent ride in the front row, but the second and third are rather dicey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I'm still wondering why they're listing Turtle Parade and the Rockets for sale when it's pretty much been confirmed that Cincinnati Circus Company bought those. They're even listed on that company's website (Rides & Rentals -> Mechanical Rides) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gforce1994 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Coney announced their season pass rates, and they’re more expensive than KI’s Gold Pass. How long do you think until Coney closes for good at this rate? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyrfyter Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Like I didn’t see this coming a mile away... Everyone wanted to talk about how much lower their prices will be. Yup, this is definitely “lower”... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

culinaryjoey Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Be Honest if Kings Island buy Phyton from Coney next year if Coney have auction off their rides despite KI have no plans to get it as of right now. I have feeling they would kept Phyton name however if Six Flags buy Cedar Fair and Phyton would renamed Road Runner Express 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The comments on Coney's FB page in regards to season pass prices are not kind at all for the most part. I have a feeling Coney won't be around much longer unless they start making smarter decisions. $80 for the regular pass when an additional $30 will get you a Gold Pass to KI is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culinaryjoey Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yep KIC Legend , Coney Island owned by Walker Family since 1990 who are independent owned not corporation such as Cedar Fair and Six Flags. I met Brenda Walker in 2017 when I get my free Summerfair tickets for my relatives in front of her office and she is nice lady however I am kind of shock her that she decided to drop theme rides all together after 2019 Coney Island season in favor of water park and i heard some body told me she wanted to expand the wave pool and i told that person how you can added the wave pool if this place going to flood every winter. Lmao She lucky keep mini Golf course, Games of Skill with game room going to keep for now which was original plan removed along with the rides, and Paddle Boat in former amusement side which become new section for water park. But Shows and Rides are gone poof out of the building. I have feeling she wanted Coney Island not just only the water park and she wanted Coney Island to be normal park without no rides just like Lakemont Park Lmao.

culinaryjoey Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 IT LOOK LIKE CONEY ISLAND WILL BE DEFUNCT IN THE FUTURE . IF Brenda continue to jack up the price of season pass. Which Means Balloon Glow and Summer Fair can appear in Kings Island in the future if Coney closed for good despite they have successful with Coney with the rides or without the rides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenban Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I have to point out there is a $79.95 pass called the Splash Pass, it includes parking, admission, and all of the important parts if all you want to do is go to the water park. The pass everyone keeps complaining about just adds the ability to bring a cooler, a free game of skill every week, paddleboats, mini golf, and extra bring a friend tickets. If these items do not matter then there is no need to pay the extra $50 dollars. Without the rides the Adventure pass really does not make much sense for most guests. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, as I said above, that basic pass is only $30 less than a KI Gold Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Does anyone know if a list of where the rides end up will be made public? Also, the most updated figures I got says that, as of a week or two ago, Tempest and a small kids train ride were the only actual rides that hadn't been purchased. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
culinaryjoey Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 If KI don't get these Former Coney Rides such as Flying Bobs and Tilt-A-Whirl" and Rock O Plane a former Americana/Coney and Legend Ferris Wheel in Cincy Area , by next year or 2021 and I would be unhappy and KI miss opportunity to get it and waste money on New Roller Coaster or Fancy Rides. Better Idea get some Coney Rides first before buy some expensive rides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that KI has more than enough information regarding ROI (return on investment) and appropriately selects rides which provide the best return. Getting a used ride on the cheap might seem like a great opportunity. But the overall cost to refurbish, maintain, and actual ridership numbers may show it to actually be throwing money away. Purchasing a new flat ride might be cheaper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvestmanMan Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Huh. I never knew the Python was that old. Was it relocated from somewhere else? Also - has anyone heard mention of auctioning off any of the other park assets? I remember there was an old Ms. Pac-Man arcade cabinet languishing in the attic of the games building along with lots of spare parts for Skee-Ball, etc. Could be a veritable gold mine for someone in that line of work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
