Kings Island Rox Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 What's your least favorite ride in KI? (Besides kiddie rides.) My least fave is probably Tomb Raider because hanging upside down for more than ten seconds makes me feel very uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropZone99 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Awesome Aussie Twister I don't like that ride either, they should call it Clausturphobia:The Ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiderOfRides Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Mine is most likely Viking Fury. It always makes me feel sick to my stomach, and my friend always FORCES me to ride it. My least favorite coaster is either Vortex or SoB. I take a beating on both. (I haven't ridden Vortex in a few years though, and I've ridden coasters a lot rougher. I'm hoping to give both another try this year though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trint2004 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 mine would have to be the scrambler because I always end up on the outside with 2 other heavy people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welchce Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Awesome Aussie Twister I actually found that ride fun the one time I rode it. Did you not ride it correctly? Because it has a special sign at the top which gives a certain way to position your arms around your head. Even though the Monster is a fun ride, I had a bad experience with it because there might've been 20 people in line in front of me but from when I got in line to when I got off the ride it took over a half an hour (I think close to 40 minutes). I asked this in another thread and I'll ask it here again, why (when it has 6 pneumatic arms) can it only load and unload two arms at once? It baffles my mind. My least favorite ride has to be Snowy River Rampage. The texture on the mats you're standing on while waiting in line feels like a million little tacks. Not to mention the day I rode they were running (what seemed to me) far too few rafts because the wait was way too long (much longer than we waited for the much much more fun Tasmanian Typhoon). I have no idea why my friends and I stayed in line. The ride is average by itself. If you ever think of going back to ride it, make sure you put on your sandals first.

cincyboy0830 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Italian Job Stunt Track Seriously, it is a disaster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I agree with others. IJST. Why? Nearly everything, from its low capacity, to where Paramount put it, to the fact the special effects Mr. Seibert promised never worked right, and those few that did didn't last very long. Oddly, I LIKE the one at Kings Dominion. Placed correctly, more fun and all the effects actually work. Not to mention it didn't supposedly require the removal of one of the best flat rides of all time and a set of family friendly antique cars in a picturesque setting.

rollergirl Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Adventure Express! Going up the hill with the tunnel at the end at then not getting to go down feels so anti-climatic and always disappoints me.. but I'll ride it because I love every ride at KI!

The Interpreter Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 The shuffling back and forth of the cars....in a stairstep fashion. Never did work at Kings Island. Promised to be coming many times. . . then apparently forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deb Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Least favorite coaster: Vortex.

I can't swim) deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiderOfRides Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I can't swim, so I rarely go to BB. (Well actually I've never been...) If I were to go, however, I would ride the ones with rafts with my sister who is a competent swimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor66 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 ^Go to the pool and practice. Seriously. Just like riding a bike or driving a car, it takes practice. Anyway, my least favorite ride would have to be Days of Thunder. That is the most boring layout of a go-cart track ever. That is where they should have put IJ:ST. We could still have the antique cars and Flying Eagles, yet still have IJ:ST. (I actually like Italian Job, I just don't agree with its placement in the park, and the effects are obnoxious.)

RiderOfRides Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I also enjoy IJ:ST, it ranks pretty high on my list of rides I enjoy at KI. Its just, I loved the Flying Eagles and 'Tiques. Does anybody even ride Days of Thunder these days? I also feel that IJ would have fit more with the Hollywood action-esque Action Zone. Just my two cents. Why take away two enjoyable rides for one, when you could take an upcharge attraction that isn't very popular (at least it didn't seem like it to me) for an enjoyable ride.

deb Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 If you can't swim than don't ride, or atleast get a life jacket from Boomerang Bay. See, I don't ride it now. Back when I did ride it, I didn't know there was a pool at the very bottom that would subsequently take me under the water. And the lifeguard looked at me like he was clueless. When my friend came to help me, he's like, I thought you were FAKING it. Why on earth would someone fake it?? And I'm fine on anything that has a raft. No raft, no ride. We're talking over 12 years ago, back when it was WaterWorks. deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptor Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Delirium. Without a seatbelt as a secondary precaution just don't feel safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Delirium has a seat belt, it attaches to the OTSR just like all of the rides that have OTSR's. My least favorite ride at KI would probably be TR:TR. It's rough on my shoulders and my neck, and not to mention but it totally sucks without music/effects working.

katreina Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 What's your least favorite ride in KI? (Besides kiddie rides.) My least fave is probably Tomb Raider because hanging upside down for more than ten seconds makes me feel very uncomfortable. My least favorites would be Viking Fury and Tazmanian Twister. I can't stand the feeling of just hanging in mid air, which is why I haven't even rode Delirium yet. Looking at that from the ground nauseates me. A close second to those two at the moment would have to be Spongebob 3d. Don't get me wrong, it was a lot of fun the first several times I saw it, but they really need to get a new movie up there. Spongebob has been there for way too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're right, they DO need a new movie! I remember a good movie they had there once. It was about this guy driving a car through a lab or something, and he kept running into stuff, and at the end you see an air bag pop up with a smiley face on it. Does anyone remember or even know what I'm talking about, 'cause I forgot the name it. I thought that movie was pretty entertaining, and I wish KI would bring it back.

The Interpreter Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I believe you may be speaking of Smash Factory, a movie the public widely panned, and many users here didn't think much of either. With my odd sense of humor, I too, found it hysterically amusing...(but only because I thought it was so bad it was good!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
