Grain of Salt Removal Rumor
This guy was saying it was for a rollercoaster though and I just don't see that happening. Amazon/Congo Falls is a great ride. as many people have said it's perfect for cooling down and KI has room to grow that they don't use. I don't think Cedar Fair wants to take anything out that still has it's uses. IMO Timberwolf is just a hand in hand kind athing to KI. I hear Timberwolf. I think Kings Island, removing it would be like taking out the The Racer or The Beast.

Grain of Salt Removal Rumor
As some of you might know.. or probaly not I don't talk alot on here mostly lurk. But I'm a huge Rollercoaster Tycoon fan. On the official Forums for the game someone had a PKI recreation thread. (Pretty sure it's posted here too). Someone wrote this morning on that thread that they worked at Kings Island as a Ride Operator and that they were removing TImberwolf Amphitheatre and COngo Falls for a new coaster next year. Now Like I said.. take it with a grain of salt cause I sure don't believe it but it's worth mentioning anyway just for kicks. I personally think they will find aempty spot aroudn the park and mroe than likely it will be some cool new Flat Ride or soemthign from Geauga Lake if anything at all.

Coaster accident at Expoland in Japan
One thing to note about this accident... is that apparently.. the axles had NEVER been replaced in it's 15 year operation is what the investigation is revealing.

Flight of Fear Construction...
I asked my mom to dig out some old vacation photo's from King's Island from back in the old Hanna Barbara days... hopefully she will scan and email them to me sometime this week.

Flight of Fear Construction...
Thanks guys.. you've been very helpful.. the reason I was asking is because i'm researching indoor coasters for one in a New RCT3 park I'm working on. I'm wanting to do a Grateful Dead themed indoor launch coaster.. still trying to come up with a name though. I know I want the word Psychadelic (or similiar) in the name but just not sure what works best yet.

Flight of Fear Construction...
I knew it was all inside.. and knew it was a launched coaster.. I was just wondering how the track layout is on the inside.. I ASSUME it launches down that long tunnel.. into the huge cylinder area.. where most of the ride is.. then at the end comes back down the tunnel to the launch area. is that right?
-
Flight of Fear Construction...
I've not been to KI since the year before they opened FoF, so I have a few questions.. is the entire ride inside that big cylinder except for the launch area... also.. are there any pics floating about of the construction of said ride? I'd love to see that.

Top Gun Destruction?
Ya know - I really hope that this response is just sarcasim that I'm missing. I really don't even know whtere to go with picking absolutely every point apart. Yes it was Sarcasm.. at it's best.. or at least I thought so.. oh well

Top Gun Destruction?

Top Gun Destruction?
If they were to remove anythign they should take out this coaster I've ehard about called " The Bat" apparently it's a maintanence nightmare.. and I even heard someone died on it... everytime I go to Kings Island.. i can't even find the coaster so it must be way off the regular path's with no good signs to it..

X-Flight coming to PKI?
Ok.. I kinda thought that is what I read somewhere.. but.. I just figured it could be a possibility.

X-Flight coming to PKI?
If we really do end up getting X-Flight I can't wait.. I've been wanting to ride one of these coasters for a very very long time.. as for rather or not KI does get it.. well I'd say from the stuff we've seen so far it's about 70% correct.. all of Cedar Fair's park's that could handle a coaster this size already have something planned.. although it's also a possibility that they will sell X-FLight to another chain.
