That was the full song by this duo in the window at Snoopy's Boutique. I thought the song was pretty good and deserved to be the bed of the full video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticTimberwolf Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Especially at 0:07, you can hear some signature AI audio generation struggles. Most people unfamiliar with these tools probably won't even notice it's an entirely AI song, but the vocals seem very similar to what you can create on places like Udio or Suno. In about 1-2 minutes on both of those sites, my friends and I were able to generate a couple of songs about the Tricks and Treats festival. All we had to do was enter the prompt: "Fun spooky song about Kings Island's Tricks and Treats festival". These websites will auto generate lyrics as well; and while I can't say for sure that was the case here, I'm suspicious. It's one thing for an individual or a group of friends to mess around with these, but it's concerning when a park with a large entertainment dept can't be bothered to write their own song for their event and instead rely on a free website. Why even bother having a creative team on payroll to theme a new attraction when an intern can create the storyline, logo, and soundtrack for a ride in 5 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they’d go for something like that now. Ideally, maybe they could do another Beast “sequel” devoid of any direct connection to SoB. That could be a good happy medium. It would also be a fun marketing/theming/story opportunity. I'm on board with them doing a "sequel" or "requel" as people like to call it nowadays. But that's also just cause I wanna see another new wood coaster added to the park lol :p 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see an all wood structure for another project that big again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see an all wood structure for another project that big again. In the event of a ground-up RMC coming to Kings Island, I would expect the park to use an all-steel support structure similar to ArieForce One. Kings Island has played it safe with their recent coaster additions as of the time Cedar Fair took over, and I think that would apply here as well by minimizing the risk of any potential structural issues like we've seen with Steel Vengeance for example. I wouldn't be surprised if no wood ended up being used at all. However, it's also because of the park playing it safe with their coaster additions that I believe an RMC at Kings Island is unlikely to begin with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking (and certainly hoping) the next couple/few coasters we get will feature multiple inversions; and not of the likely-to-fail wood variety of inversion! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping that our long trend of playing the safe card and having beef with half the coaster companies out there will change, and we will see a couple more risky, off-the-hook coasters show up. Let's be real, we're essentially a wood and B&M park at this point. It's time for a change, and that likely means working with the RMC and Intamin types again. Maybe wishful thinking, but I will truly be very disappointed if either of our next couple coasters feature the words "wood" or "B&M" in their descriptions. Arieforce One would easily be a top-tier coaster at Kings Island! It truly impressed me when I rode it. It was also a relatively cheap build at under $20m out the door next to our B&M additions. To my knowledge, the steel-built RMC's are proving to be workhorses, and it seems Six Flags has no hesitancy in working with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike the restraints in particular but I get why people love the rides as they are pretty much as wild as a coaster can get. So I wouldn't mind seeing one at KI...but I want it to be something special and not just a typical mid-level one Six Flags one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-level is the new norm for KI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
