SonofBaconator Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 I mentioned this on another thread… I heard somewhere that Pipe Scream doesn’t get affected by water like Surf Dog does. If this is true, would it be a wise investment to get an updated Surf Dog to combat its downtime? 2 Quote
Orion-XL200 Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 I wouldn't say that it doesn't get affected by water....it's often down anytime it rains, though that could be the CP rain policy. I'd rather see a different ride in place of Surf Dog...doesn't do great with capacity, seems like it valleys more often than not, the floor has had issues rising to the gondola, etc. 2 Quote

I say that KI should update Surf Dog, as you suggested, and retheme it to fit into Camp Snoopy. Either that, or remove it and replace it with a few smaller kiddie flat rides. Quote

Orion742 Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 I don’t know if it is possible but I would really like to see the old trains on FAAC swapped for the new gen trains that are so much more comfortable. I also wonder, with the repaint will we see a new name for FAAC? 2 Quote
Orion742 Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 Sorry for Double post. As soon as SSBR was announced I almost immediately thought that we wouldn’t see a new coaster in 2025 because CF wouldn’t put a new coaster in back to back years. But I have been thinking, in 2023 Cedar Point opened Wild Mouse with a new area upgrade. Then they added Top Thrill 2 in 2024. Both additions from Zamperla. In 2024 Kings Island is getting a smaller coaster with a new area upgrade. What if KI got a package deal with Vekoma for a new coaster in 2025 just like CP? I think 2026 or 2027 is still very likely I just wanted to point out that I wouldn’t rule it out yet. 1 Quote

I'm about 70% certain that 2025 is going to be for Soak City. 3 Quote

I mean at least the water park fans are happy. I'd much prefer to see a new gen vekoma or new dark ride (either boo blaster re-do or crypt building) in 2025. 7 Quote

So wish it would be reconfigured as a stand alone gate so it would be its own revenue segment and they could use the gate fees to really improve it, give discounted price to dry park passholders, and not have to spread the live as much like now where it is just an “area” of the park. 1 Quote
Tr0y Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 Due to budget cuts, the park has announced that Snoopy’s Soapbox Racers will only operate with one train for the 2024 season. 3 1 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 So any updates on Camp Snoopy? Photos, videos, any sort of update from the park? Quote
