Indiana Beach has 2021 Passes On Sale
Fair enough point. I guess those free refills must go a very long way for some people.

He's going to have an uphill battle for a while, particularly due to how remote it is.

I'm still in disbelief that the place managed to pull through, given that they were already faltering before the virus even struck.

one time pass wheel
Something tells me a gimmick like this wouldn't go over so well right now, given the circumstances. But who knows?

I'd love to see a Rotor.

Kings Island Vintage Photos - 1973-1992
As garish as it looks, it's a shame we no longer have the Rotor. It's such an iconic piece of amusement park history. I'd love to see a space themed one added to Area 72.

Flumes are timeless.

I second this. Rivertown could really use a decent log flume.

There's only so much you can push a coaster before our own bodies start to reach their mechanical limits. Coasters like Intimidator 305 cause riders to 'grey out' from the g-force. There is definitely a sweet spot that balances intensity with the overall experience. Adventure Express may not be as thrilling as Backlot Stunt Coaster, but I would argue that it's a much more enjoyable and memorable ride.

Does adding a tunnel do anything?
They can aid the illusion that you're traveling at higher velocity.

Orion or Firehawk and Vortex?
20 - 6 + 0 = 14 That's all I'm sayin'.

Ferris Wheel
Not even the Flying Ace Aerial Chase?

Ferris Wheel
It's not an awful ride, but it is fairly ugly and takes up nice real estate. It's just so milk toast that I feel bad hating on it. It really does just feel like a thing of the Paramount era.

Ferris Wheel
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am all for the death of that little thing at this point. Given the throughput and appeal to kids, I doubt that we'll see it go.

Ferris Wheel
The best place in my opinion would be directly behind the Eiffel Tower on BLSC's plot, though I'm sure there's better spots.

Ferris Wheel
Despite large thrill rides bringing significantly higher numbers of riders in, I believe gentle additions like the antique cars are vital to parks like King's Island as they appeal to both the youngest and oldest audiences. This being said, one of the crowning gems in this category is the Ferris Wheel. King's Island has been without this classic flat ride for 30 years now. I believe the addition of a giant Ferris Wheel would not only beautify the park's skyline, but also return a warm sentiment of yesteryear that's been missing for so long. The real question is which district Cedar Fair would install such a thing. Thoughts?

Overhauling Adventure Express
I love this idea, but I do have to wonder how they would fit the attack chopper into that. One thought that comes to my mind for making the theming cool is a post-apocalyptic city. They could 'Mad Max' the trains up a bit to seal the deal.

Do you think K.I. will return Phantom Theater in the 50th?
I wouldn't say it won't return in some way. While there's no chance we're going to get our animatronics back, I could see the implementation of VR technology bringing us something similar.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
I could honestly see it being a water ride of some sort. The park could definitely use a full sized log flume or something similar.

I must be the only person alive who actually enjoys all my coasters rough.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
My fingers are crossed that The Bat doesn't meet its demise within the next five years. That would absolutely devastate me.

Discussing Land and Space in and around Vortex
Back on topic, I sincerely hope the park makes an effort to give The Beast more isolation. The deforestation left in the wake of Vortex's removal kind of dulls the experience of the queue line now. Quite frankly, I don't think there is a need to fill the space with another roller coaster.
