If you owned Kings Island
I'd probably create more unique theming for the kid side of the park. Rather than buying licensed IPs, I'd prefer to make original characters that the park can use indefinitely and in any way imaginable. While the Peanuts are indeed beloved, I think it does a lot for a park to have its own flavor entirely. On top of this, I'd move to repurpose the Tomb Raider building and repaint/retrack the coasters that need it.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
Stay away from the stuff, junior. Plus, you should also work on that sentence structure.

The Flat Ride Speculation Thread
We'd be more likely to get a roundup than we would one of these, simple for capacity issues.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
They could still benefit from a Jeb themed turtle exhibit.

Why don't we have a Mouse?
I'd wager FAAC's land would be the most likely spot.

This is true. Just look at how much filth accumulates underneath the queue line as it is.

Do walk-through attractions do anything for you?
That would be my assumption. I do recall going into one at my county fair years ago, and there were so many opportunities to get fingers ripped off. Given the risk/reward ratio, I'm not really surprised they are gone.

Closure of Dinosaurs Alive and opening of lots of land.
RMC?

What Else Do You Want To Come Back?
Even better is the fact that they cast it aside for Fanboy and Chum Chum. God, I bet Cartoon Network executives were laughing for months.

What Else Do You Want To Come Back?
Nick's biggest power player during their golden years was Klasky Csupo. The writing was on the wall for the station when they drifted away. I'll say, at least Nick has cartoons again.

Good Lord, how did Raph get so swole?

What Else Do You Want To Come Back?
I think you'd be fairly disappointed, as they would be inclined to pull from the currently popular Nickelodeon IPs. I don't think kids today really know about Rocket Power, the Wild Thornberrys, Hey Arnold, or heaven forbid Jimmy Neutron.

Kings Island Dreams
I had a dream I went up the Eiffel Tower and went down a 300 foot water slide. I hope a KI executive sees this and makes it real.

How Much Longer For Boo Blasters On Boo Hill?
Sadly, I don't see animatronics remotely comparable to those of the Phantom Theater returning to the building. The operating and repair costs of the complex mechanical components required for such an installation are quite intensive. It's a shame, but the era of animatronics is pretty much over.

Get rid of one coaster- The Poll
Flight of Fear is flawless, save for the lobotomizing brake run towards the end.

Are Dark Rides Worth the Investment?
Truthfully, I think it's the mechanical aspect of most dark rides that hold them back these days. We'll never see something like Phantom Theater again because it's not really cost effective in the long haul. I believe the future application of VR technology will be our answer for getting more dark rides. Other than vehicles to simulate movement, you really don't need tangible objects in a ride like that these days.

They were also used to build the Son of Beast. Really makes you think. owo

The best thing they could do is add a 5% chance that you'll fall back down the final hill.- Move One Ride from Anywhere in the Country to KI
Freestyle from Cavallino Matto in Italy should move to Kings Island. Naturally there would be an obvious name change. :^)- If Cedar Fair Could Purchase One More Park
Makes me think of the old Zoom Flume near Bloomington just off Lake Monroe. It's remarkable what people used to be able to get away with in the 20th century.- Overhauling Adventure Express
Now that's interesting. I miss old special effects.- KI 2020 Fall Calendar Released
Same boat here. I was gonna go to CP this spring, but I bailed on that one real quick. I don't expect I'll go next year either, given how things are shaping up.- Overhauling Adventure Express
It's a much more iconic film. Fun fact: Temple of Doom is actually a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark.- If Cedar Fair Could Purchase One More Park
