I’ve gotta go to coaster stock next year.

I do think a B&M Hyper would be a fine addition to the park considering B&M hypers are probably the biggest crowd pleasers ever created.... personally a hyper would be what I’m rooting for but as many like to point out Apollo’s chariot is in the same state so who knows.

I don’t think I’ve heard a lot of people consider Kings Island small, if we’re going to see a new area of the park it’s going to just be X-Base fully becoming a new area. I could see Kings Island build a hotel but I kind of doubt it, maybe a campground one day hopefully but I also doubt that.

A 4 year old would love parade, the parade starts at 8. edit - Thanks for the clarification Bodda, the event starts at 5.

Say what you want about it being too short but dang it looks pretty, great work!

I’m sure someone remembers his name but I recall at the start of this year a music artist (Who I thought did work with Disney?) tweeted out that he was working on a project with Kings Island and that project has turned out to be the parade music.

I’m sure it’s not unheard of, although Banshee is the last ride I’d want to be around when it comes to entering a restricted area. Inverted coasters have a track record of severely injuring those who choose to enter the restricted areas.

Oktoberfest would like to have a word with you.... But yeah Action Zone could definitely use another ride, where ever the next coaster go’s it better not be in Rivertown, currently 3/4 best rides in the park are all in the same section.

Last week the shed looked pretty done to me but they could still be doing work on the inside.

That’s the thing I’ve always noticed, the line is almost always out the door and typically there’s only 1 or 2 cash registers. They could definitely use more staffing.

All the 20 year theory suggest is that Kings Island is playing catch up because of Paramounts poor investments. Most parks got their inverts in the 90’s or early 2000’s we didn’t. Canada’s wonderland is just now getting a high capacity comfortable modern steel looping coaster..

Maverick and Copperhead strike are very different attractions, not to mention Cedar Point already has several “flagship” attractions so Kings Island getting one that’s similar to Maverick isn’t that unreasonable.

How about we just leave all our Arrows alone?

I didn’t really care for the food to be honest, but I’m also a pretty picky eater. If there’s 6 things in the menu that you like then I’d say it’s worth it considering how much food you get.

Another possible option would of course be to get an entirely new model from B&M, it’s been almost 10 years (at least when we likely get our next coaster) since B&M would have released a new coaster model so I’d expect they’d have something new by then.

I’d love an S&S Screamin swing over in X-Base

Hope this bump is ok, according to Kings Islands Twitter in regards to an online merchandise store “We're looking to add an online store in the foreseeable future.”

I mean rides like Corkscrew are still going strong so I hope Vortex still has life left in it, if any arrow is going to be going I’d put my money on The Bat. In regards to more future B&Ms id love to see a launched wing coaster in 24’. Maybe we could see a Mack Multilaunch but I’ve heard those are incredibly expensive (even higher then B&M), unless we see prices for Mack’s going down I just don’t see it happening.

They were having problems with the ride last night & earlier this morning they were running 2 train ops.

I went to the park today and I thought the parade was fantastic and I hope to see return. The parade route was lined with people so it definitely appears that this is a very popular event for attendees, everyone seemed to be having a great time. The food left a lot to be desired but I’m glad they’re offering more food options for this festive, everything was being served pretty quickly which was nice. The only thing I truly disliked was the Berry Citrus twist drink, had a weird after taste to it.

Does anyone know what Top gun was originally supposed to be themed to?

My mine gripe with the paramount era is the fact the quality of the park was lower then what it previously had been. Before Paramount Kings Island arguably was the best regional theme park in the world, can’t really say that now a day’s. If Paramount didn’t buy the parks chances are we would have seen a lot more B&M’s installed in the 90’s. KECO had already installed 2. Furthermore yes the park did get a lot of capital investments but those investments often times were not the right investments. SoB was by no means a cheap ride and did indeed cost a lot of money to install but even with all the money the ride was still a terrible addition.

I got a discount off of Fastlane today, sadly I already have all season fastlane so this is completely useless

They will certainly market this as a giga coaster, it’s a term that people have become quite familiar with in the state of Ohio and advertising it as a giga coaster will draw more of a crowd.

Maybe it was used in the Bayou themed haunt.
