  • Also, Adventure Express is amazing at night!

  • Backlot Stunt Coaster was placed in the perfect spot in the park. So glad it replaced the original Antique Cars.

    Diamondback is fairly forgettable as a roller coaster, and its addition did more to lessen atmosphere in the park than anything Paramount did.

Blue Ice Cream sucks.

International street is better without all the trees.

 

 

That felt wrong typing out.

Six Flags should buy Cedar Fair!

Parks would have been open a lot more last year and this year if they had.

 

 

The Beast is too rough to enjoy.

Yes, this does come from me. I usually can tolerate rough rides but the rides I’ve had in beast are just unbearable. Last time I rode, I got a bruise on my shoulder.

I know it used to win the Golden Ticket every year... But I think the current look of the kids area is ugly and mostly underwhelming, the least impressive area of the park (even beyond Action Zone).

Last time I rode The Beast in a wheel seat it felt like my spine was about to snap like a toothpick, don't get me wrong I can handle my fair share of roughness (I once rode Vortex 56 times in a row) but The Beast is getting to a point where its unbearable.

I don't know if I can disagree with you (because of the premise of this thread).  But I do think removing the trees actually made International Street look better.  To me, it gives more scale and grandeur to the atmosphere.  I do miss the shade they provided, though!

Son of Beast was the best thing ever added to the park and never really as rough as people say... :blink:

I didn’t expect to actually agree with anything in this thread but here we are. :lol:

Edit: Lol you said Son of Beast not Beast, just noticed that.

Wow, that's rough! However, I partially agree as it's very noisy and disrupted what was once a quiet area of the park.

On a related note, here's mine: Diamondback is overrated.

I don't know about that. I guess it depends on where you sit. I don't mind taking a beating from it. I believe The Beast is more tolerable than what Mean Streak was.

Capacity is overrated in terms of helping KI get rides truly unique to the area.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with both the forgettable, and overrated statements.  I dont know, maybe its because I over-rode the crap out of it in 09, but it has been an epic snore machine to me since about 2011, regardless of what row or time of day I ride.

 

EDIT:ANd before anybody starts with the "Youre just anti B&M" garbage, I dont want to hear it.... I really like Banshee and have thought since day one it hands Raptor its arse in a basket.

I would agree with this to a point.  I know I have been someone who has talked about the importance of capacity but CF has done a good of adding capacity to the park.  The three B&Ms, The Beast, Racer, and AE are all great at eating thru a line and Mystic does decent as well.  Orion (when things get back to normal) more than makes up whatever capacity that Firehawk and half empty Vortex trains were getting.

I don't think they need a one train ride (ala the Tempestos of the world) but the park could certainly handle a Gerstlauer, Mack, or RMC to bring some variety (and inversions) back to the park.

I think KI social media could be so much better.

Adventure Express is a tease with no drop after the tunnel hill.

Or how about this: Adventure Express is a pointless stupid ride all together and should be removed and replaced with something good.
