RailRider Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I miss King Cobra and Phantom Theater the most. Atleast we get to see the old Phantom Theater props during FearFest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIbabe89 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I miss KC. I was about to take my friend on it one day, and it was taken down. that was a dissapointment...

jlopez Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 You forgot kenton Kove Keelboat Canal, I miss that ride a lot, but i also miss King Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest faceoff Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I believe Cedar Point has ride similar to kenton keelboat canal. The ride is white water landing. They used to a cave that when you entered water came down and soaked all riders. Very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dxrunner Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Eagels and tiques are dead let it be, most people still remember what it was like to ride those 2 rides, and they were boring However most dont remember the last time they rode some of the other rides like PT or KC, etc. KC gets my vote. I would rather have TRTR than that keel boat canal thingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Definately King Cobra. I only rode it once and it was an okay ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Voyager Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Does anyone know where they store all the old stuff like phantom theater figuires and the tique cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxman Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 the sky ride was the best way to get to the other side of the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 They should have like a tram service that takes you all around the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 The Antique Cars, as I mentioned in another post that you replied to, are currently parks between The Racer and the Zephyr (Swings), where the floats for the Nick Parade were stored last season. The cars currently have blue tarps over them to protect them from the elements, which means the park probably plans to use them for something in the future.

Gordon Bombay Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I miss kIng Cobra the most but I also mis KCKC and the tiques+eagles. They shouldve kept, KCKC, KC, Tiques, and Eagles then torn out Timber wolf and put TRTR and IJST over there (because they fit in with Action Zone) plus Delerium there. Timberwolf isnt needed and is an awful venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Rider Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 at times TImberwolf is very useful, sadly this year it is scheduled for only one big show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I have to go old school on this one I miss not seeing The Bat at Kings Island. Also the Demon and the Bavarian Beetle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Timberwolf is not good at all to see a show at, the seats are placed terriblly and you can hardly see unless your up close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Not to mention the fact that Timberwolf just doesn't fit in that area of the park anymore. Action Zone + Timberwolf...there is no real connection now. When Action Zone was created, Timberwolf should've gone as well. Just my $0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 You are right reclaimer, I really think KI will be taking it out in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 To bad the park could not just build a ride called Timberwolf in the same area. Another wooden coaster or Change the name of Son of Beast to Timberwolf. That or a Paramount Monster movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Voyager Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Why it's not like it's in the way of things. Plus where will Weird Al play when he comes to town? Hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I dont think theyd re-name SOB but antoher woodie would be cool, but I think from now on most rides that come in are gonna carry a paramount theme. Weird Al is fantastic! but he could play at First Star Center or something. Timber wolf is in the way because it does not get used as much and many people do not like it for its bad seating arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I'd hope they remove it soon. I've never been to an event there, but I've never heard good things...and I'm not surprised, either. I'd hate to be trying to enjoy some form of live entertainment with people screaming on Drop Zone right behind me. The action rides that are so close to TW would take away from the experience. (Or do they close the rides when there are concerts? Like I said, I've never been around when concerts/events were going on in Timberwolf) Point is: Back when it was the Wild Animal Habitat, Timberwolf fit it. Now it doesn't. Take it down and give us some more thrills in Action Zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Actually the rides dont really interfeer with how loud the music is, the people around you trying to stand on their seats and annyoing the others behind them and everyoen argyuing because of the bad view is what takes away from the experience. The only real ride interference in the loud noise SOB makes when it crests over the lift hill but like I said you cant really hear it over the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I'm only 22, and so I don't remember half of the rides on this list. I vaguely remember the monorail, though and also remember the Smurfs boat ride (was one of my favorite rides as a kid). The other rides I miss are King Cobra and also the old Witch's Cauldren ride (whatever that was called - the big spinning teacup type thing). As far as storage - I read on one site that the King Cobra is stored over by The Racer someplace, but I don't know if that's true or not. The Eagles ride got sent to the Paramount park in North Carolina, and the Monorail is now part of the ever-expanding tourist trap known as Jungle Jim's International Farmer's Market in Fairfield, Ohio (http://www.junglejims.com for those who aren't familiar with the place).

DeLorean Rider Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 King Cobra track is stored in two locations but it is not useable, for one its very corroded and rusted with holes in the rails and such, and several places, the track wasnt even unbolted, it was just cut with a torch to separate. Ever since Togo went out of business it was near impossible to get anypart for it so a lot of it was makeshift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I miss the Hanna-Barbera Characters and the smurfs the thrill ride/coaster I miss the most is King Cobra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
