I would like each area of the park to receive thematically appropriate background music. There were a couple of times last season when I was walking through International Street listening to Taylor Swift's "Trouble" over the speakers. Great song, but it doesn't fit well with the European theming.

My brother really liked the Trabant. It looked a little dizzying to me, so I never rode it.

I enjoyed the Paddle Wheel excursions. It was a nice little ride in the middle of the park. If they wanted the parks to benefit to families, that ride should have stayed.

I missed the band organ so much. I still remember when it played the Wabash Blues after, at least, eight years of it not working. Was the restoration of the organ a decision the park made, or was it Ouimet's decision?

Nice to hear that the International Street buildings have been updated a little more. It's also wonderful to hear that the Starlight Spectacular has finally been retired.

I literally stay up there for almost my entire visit there each time I go. It's just impressive.

The idea of retheming Action Zone to a haunted area is interesting, but a few of the rides are out of place. Congo Falls, for example, is more of an Adventure themed water ride and, unless the water were dyed red like blood, it would be out of place in that area. I personally would prefer the old Adventure Village theming in that area again over a scary horror re-theme.

Big Bad Wolf was an Arrow Dynamics Suspended Coaster that was located at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia. It was removed for Verbolten in 2009.

Wasn't X-Flight ment for Kings Island to get, but they ended up building it at Geauga Lake, thus Flying Ace Aerial Chase (Then Runaway Reptar) being built at Kings Island in 2001 instead?

Is Kings Island supposed to get a fountain upgrade for 2014 also, or will that come in 2015 for us?

Yeah, that would be a darn diddly shame. Blondy, who just had to.

I would remove the Italian Job and move it to Cedar Point.

I personally see the flaws in Intamin's roller coasters, but their flat rides are pretty cool. Falcons Fury at BGT may be a big win for them, but then again it hasn't been built yet.

I think it would be awesome if, in response to the rebirth of The Bat, the park makes a modern video similar to this one.

Another Historical video with the (original) Bat.

I'm still deciding whether or not to call it by its new name, or to continue with calling it Top Gun.

Flying Dutchman from Kentucky Kingdom put back in Oktoberfest.

I miss the Space Spiral. On my first visit in August of 2005, when I was seven, my mother forced me to ride it, despite my fear of heights (At the time, I hadn't been on the Eiffel Tower yet). I enjoyed the great view of the lake and the park. I started to enjoy high places, thanks to the spiral. When we returned in 2007, I couldn't wait to climb into the cabin again and sit down in those leather seats for an incredible view. I was disappointed to hear last year that the ride would be demolished. Who knew a ride that your mother had to twist your arm to get you on would have a special place in your heart. I still feel it was a bad decision to do away with it, but from what I understand, maintenence costs were high, the ride used alot of energy, and had alot of downtime, so it may have been the best decision to remove it. The destruction of the ride makes me appreciate the Eiffel Tower alot more, though both were manufactured by two different companies (Space Spiral was built by Willy Buhler Space Towers AG under Von Roll out of Berne, Switzerland, and the Eiffel Tower was built by the (infamous) Intamin AG company out of Zurich, Switzerland. There are very few rides similar to the Spiral left in the world, one at Six Flags La Ronde, another at Sea World Orlando, and one at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

It could be possible that the park is taking the aircraft carrier theming out of the ride and are renaming it to the name it was originally going to be named under KECO, Thunder Road (Or Thunder Run, I can't remember).

Sorry, my mistake. Didn't know that. I always thought they were still there.

The King Cobra ran into problems when the Japanese company, TOGO, closed its American offices, making it difficult for (Paramount's) Kings Island to purchase replacement parts for the ride. The ride was dismantled around when the park opened for the 2002 season. The track for the ride is still located in the ride graveyard, behind where Son of Beast sat. The trains for the ride were shipped to Kings Dominion for Shockwave, since there was no hope for the ride being sold.

It could go in X-Base. And was the Cedar Point giant wheel built by Schwarzkopf? Just a random question.

If the park built a giant wheel like Cedar Point, where would it go?

Just found out that PTC still offers these rides! Lets start sign up to request this ride! I think the Cuddle Up would go great in the spot of the Attitudes store if they ever brought it back. My father and I discussed the ride once and he told me that the park should consider bringing the ride back because it was something he didn't appreciate until it was removed from the park. I found a cool video on Youtube of a Cuddle Up ride:

I would like to see Drop Zone get seats that rotate so riders look downward before dropping, like Falcons Fury at Busch Gardens Tampa.
