jondrewfoo Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 So i have a question. One thing i remember from my trip to Cedar Point last year, was that the theme music was amazing. at least to me it was, i heard plenty of good tunes on the speakers throughout the park. even my favorites the Beach Boys multiple times! wondering if the have transported the music selection to Kings Island yet, because before the music was just paramount crap and was terrible... also, does Cedar Fair ever plan on bringing the portbale dj stations and misting fans to long line attractions at Kings Island, like they have on millenium force? that was amazing. all i remember is frying waiting for the Son of Beast last year in the open sun. they really need those.

padfoot714 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I was really hoping for a DJ station for Firehawk but alas none has appeared. As for the music, I actually really liked the old PKI music. There was lots of John Williams on it and he has written some of the best movie scores ever. Last time I was there they were just playing pop crap. My brother who works in the water park said that they will be getting a new soundtrack there sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauch Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I could do without a KI worker screaming into the microphone, which completely distorts the sound of what he's saying. Top Gun had some great pre-ride inline features that got you into the ride, even if the ride was short. I mean..just the sound of jet's taking off....the communication of pilots...the movie posters along with the display cases within the line, just made it more enjoyable. Firehawk's line is just boring. The only thing to get you excited is actually seeing the ride, but then you ride it, and it's not quite as exciting. They definitely need more theming throughout the park. The Beast's line needs to be redone like it was in the old days....kinda like a spook house....something that makes it feel like you're walking into the cage of a beast. The Vortex needs to just come up with a theme..right now..it's just a roller coaster. I'd like to see The Racers queue be painted and reconstructed into an old timey type feel. Face Off, again, is just a line. I guess I am just saying that it would be nice for them to spend some money to add more excitement to the rides all together. I know it's tough with money and all, but I'll grab a bucket of paint to help out. You don't need much...just a few things in the queue lines to build up the excitement level.

westcoaster Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 While Theming is nice its not a theme park its a Amusement park go to universal or disney: Look at Cedar Point about all they do is pump music through the lines. However what cedarpoint does do is make sure there people move quickly and load as quickly and safely as possible the guest! Even on a saturday they were cranking out the guest But Paramount got out of the business and left Kings Island with a regular amusement park company! that believes in clean safe and great family fun: thats where were heading: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
