Cortney Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Ok I haven't been to KI since the year SOB opened....what has all changed with the rides like being torn down or I have heard about the new ones. I am going to be up there July 13-15 and my friend and I are thinking about going to KI rather than Cedar Point cause its closer. Thanks!

PKIVortex Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Since 2000 the following rides have been removed from the park. KCKC (big log flume in rivertown) that's where TR:TR is. King Cobra, Delirium is in that spot and also Sling Shot. Antique Cars, and Flying Eagles, IJST and the 3 point challenge is there. The year you went the Log Flume, Kings Mills Log Flume was shut down for the 2000 season, but reopened in 2001 as Wildtornberry's River Adventure. Scooby's Ghoster Coaster is gone, Avatar took that spot. Also Phantom Theater is gone, and now Scooby's Doo's Haunted Castle is there. So a lot of changes has happened in 7 years. I hope you have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortney Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 I always liked King Cobra...probably because it was the first upside down ride I ever went on. Last time like Vortex, The Beast, Flight of Fear (no plans to get on that again) were extremely jerky, has that changed? Or is it with the upside down coasters, the stupid restraints that gives you all the whiplash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 SOB isn't being tour down, just the loop. Last year in July there was an accident closing the ride and around December-January the loop was removed. The ride just got new trains installed and has been testing for the past week or so. I think that SOB might be opening July 4th. When you go to KI SOB and Drop Zone should open back up. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Theres no confirmed date on when SOB will be re-opened but theres a good chance it could be open for your visit, as for Flight of Fear I would give it another chance, in 2001 the ride opened late because it received new trains and no longer has the over the shoulder restraints, it now has lap bars and is one great ride!

welchce Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Ah yes! And The Beastie is now Fairly Odd Coaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium33 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 And there is this new flying roller coaster too, as you might have heard of. I think it is definitely one of the best rides in the park as well. The flying experience is sensational. Firehawk is definitely worth checking out, even if there is a long line.

It may have a longer line. it was 20min. with two stations but with one it was around 45 min. to 60 min. We walked up to Firehawk around 6 yesterday, and they were just reopening station 2, and the line was so short that we got on in 15 minutes. Talk about perfect timing.

Cortney Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 They changed the name of the Jr Beast? That was my lil cousin's favorite ride there! Have they re-opened Drop Zone? Don't know if I will chance that since what happened to that little girl. Its one of my favorite rides at KI and Carowinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
