Delirium - Why wasn't this ride Paramount Movie Themed?
The Core is what I had heard rumors of in the past, but it wasn't released until after the ride opened if I recall correctly.

Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
So, about that Paramount Parks patent regarding Tomb Raider: The Ride? Paramount Parks no longer exists. Who do you think owns it now?

Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
Orion's drop is the exact same as Millennium Force's at 300' even. That horse is so dead by now there's nothing left but pieces of bones. Siren's Curse was not stolen, Six Flags Mexico had their permit to build it fall through, and Cedar Point had a nice section of flat land to put it. The Crypt building can only support a flat ride that could safely operate inside the clearance of the box. If no such high-caliber flat ride like the Giant Top Spin can be found to install, if the building is going to stay it would be a great place for an indoor coaster like the survey concept. Theme it to runaway mine carts, change the entrance and queue from a cave to a mine shaft, it'd fit in great with the other mining themes in Rivertown such as on Beast.

International Street Future Update
The Saltwater Circus area would be a great spot for a Screamin' Swing to mark the start of Rivertown.

Soak City 2025 Construction Updates
The old fence was getting to be in REALLY bad condition. That said, the new fence would look better if they painted it blue, or put some Soak City logos on there, or both.

Kings Island General Discussion 2025
Paramount did it as Gold Pass preview, but considering the amount of marketing for the Gold purchase window, I'm not sure if excluding Silver would make much difference...

Live Entertainment
With the Skycoaster being removed, they've got a good size spot now to build a dedicated venue for the likes of Trailblazers and restore Showplace...

Kings Island General Discussion 2025
It certainly looks like they’ve added a “swoop” into the turn to the brake shed, based on existing structure above track level that hasn’t been taken out yet. This means Gravity Group track all the way from the top of the first lift through the midcourse tunnel, in addition to the helix rebuild. Hopefully next year they’ll do the final stretch from the tunnel to the second lift, might be able to back off on the braking too.

Canada's Wonderland removing Time Warp roller coaster
It's like removing a Chance Toboggan, nothing of value was lost.

Improve one coaster without altering the layout
I'd like the Flight of Fear midcourse brake to revert to the "no dead stop" operation... Trim speed as needed, but only stop if it has to.

Which Six Flags parks are up for sale?
At KI? There's not any undeveloped land that's either accessible or suitable for other uses.

New Emojis On KIC.Com?
Should be available in this version, you just need to switch the default emoji set from Invision stock to the full Unicode emoji selection.

That might be due to KD's 50th event.

Anaconda getting the squeeze at Kings Dominion?
Cedar Point recently did slices from the original inversion track from Maverick, so it's not out of the question under current corporate.

Anaconda getting the squeeze at Kings Dominion?
With rumors of Superman: Escape from Krypton being removed (and it currently being SBNO) I think it more likely that Ninja would get the axe at Magic Mountain in addition to Superman. Viper I believe recently got an overhaul and is also nowhere near Superman, but Ninja is and the recent removals have trended towards being near each other if multiple rides are involved.

Kings Dominion Rumored to get 2021 Wing coaster
Looks like telephoto distortion. It's zoomed in and also from an angle that makes the launch track appear shorter. Edit: I just watched the entire Rapterra Report 3 video where that clip came from, and all the other, non-compressed views of the launch look fine.

The Bat Removal Rumor
I expect KI's hits from Project Accelerate would be Invertigo, Congo Falls, and possibly Timberwolf and the Skycoaster. So far the parks that have confirmed closures are closing rides located near each other. Carowinds is a little different but Scream Weaver and Drop Tower are close together, despite not being close to Nighthawk.

California's Great America - No Seasonal Events in 2025?
I expect they want to close the park while still in the initial 5 years of the lease-back agreement. Taking the 6-year renewal for the 11 total years would be very costly.

RIP Nighthawk?
So is Batwing next?

An apparent “leak” suggesting Kingda Ka is getting the axe
Meanwhile there's not much left of Green Lantern. Very much NOT a relocation.

Vortex Track Slice for sale
Yours is a steal compared to the other two on eBay right now. There's one for 10k, and one for a whopping ONE HUNDRED thousand, but hey, that 100k gets you free shipping!

Hot Chocolate Issues
What about Starbucks? I've always found them to have the best hot choc in the park.

Oh not this again… The drop is 300. It’s a giga.

Something is Surfacing 9-19-2024
Sure, it's a stock model originally intended for another park, but it looks like a good fit for that plot of land with the bleachers where Wildcat was, and the empty plot behind that where some of the old dorms were demolished. Apparently going to be re-routing Perimeter Road closer to the marina to open up that property. Honestly it seems like a win for the park. They're basically getting a "free" major coaster and filling in that awkward plot of land. The color scheme isn't the best, with the theme some kind of blue scheme would fit best, but I doubt they'd want to repaint a newly made ride. I wouldn't want it to replace Vortex, that plot deserves something custom-built and using the terrain and midway proximity. Flattening it would lead to a strange looking area, sort of like how Orion's station and queue area look somewhat strange because of that land having previously been flattened to fit Firehawk.
