If you're interested in participating, please submit your concept or thought in this thread. We're looking for things like, "Haunt indoor mazes will become an upcharge attraction."

SonofBaconator Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I thought I saw a tweet (or whatever you call it on X now) that TT was ending. I guess it must’ve been a typo because I don’t see anything anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I'm going to be on the between or if lucky buy. Kings Island will replace the white box home to The Crypt with a Vekoma Madhouse. Kings Island might introduced a brand new storyline base around attractions old and new like the MCU. Action Zone will retheme and split in half around Oktoberfest and Horror. Phantom Theater could return with the help of Sally Dark Rides. The next Peanuts attraction will be a brand new Surf Dog. We will see the world most inverted coaster theme around to Vortex.

Vortex1987 Posted Monday at 09:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:02 PM The TR:TR building gets demo'ed and the eye off the triangle of light door along with the two seats sitting in FOF's building gets sent to me. LOL. (I'd pay for it, I'm not kidding) The Bat gets removed within 5 years, along with Congo Falls and Invertigo and sadly Drop Tower And The Vortex plot gets a Gerstlauer Infinity that breaks the inversion record.

It's about 3 hours from KI, so not too bad of a drive if you live close to there. I'm so excited for Siren's Curse and Top Thrill 2 this next season, and shall be visiting sometime in the summer. Didn't get to ride TT2 when it opened because I was a week late .Yes, I know KI is closer and still deserves thrill rides, but Cedar Point isn't a terrible alternative.

MysticTimberwolf Posted Tuesday at 02:51 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:51 PM Admission prices will increase by more than 20% over the next five years. Haunt will become a separate ticketed event, similar to Knott's Scary Farm. Small, themed escape rooms will be added as year-round, upcharge attractions.

PTC didn't, after 26 seasons, tell them they couldn't do that. It was a management decision to run one side backwards in 1981, and a management decision to turn it back around after the 2007 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Story for TT in the subject line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye Brad Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:02 PM Thanks for the clarification on Racer, Don. I thought it was a deal where PTC didn’t recommend backwards ops, and liability fears. Glad to get the facts. I retract my statement, and modify it to: “Cedar Fair finally chooses to run Racer backwards”. :^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
