New Attraction

Featured Replies

I don't think we'll get anything big. Maybe some paint on the rides, but that's about it.

general fix up of the park paint clean up, is my gut feeling . My heart wants a done deal redo on oktoberfest/Action Zone.

I think Vortex is next for needing painted.

I think it was painted around 2003 or 2004.

I think we may get an announcement on some sort of revamp on River Town or Action Zone.

. What I would like to see in 2013 is either a new wooden roller coaster, Son of Beast fixed,

My prediction is a rehab of Action Zone. New Paint on all rides (except Invertigo), and a big flat or SMALL coaster to go with it. Maybe even a couple of small flats. However, despite this rehab, I believe Son of Beast will continue to sit for AT LEAST one more season.

I'm thinking that they will make another Italian Job or Flight of Fear LIM coaster some where. I don't think they can fit a big thrill in River town because its wedged between Coney Mall, Kiddie land and International Street. Unless they put a small ride where Crypt is now like a flat ride or something.

From funny to overused in 2 topics or more.

That was actually the last time I was going to use that meme...

It was just painted 2 or 3 seasons ago.

It was painted when Diamondback was built.

I think KI will announce the demise of SOB, and start to take it down over the offseason. 2014 will add a new coaster in that area.

I think I might be in the minority, but I actually like a little bit of wild speculation about the park…I think something big is going to be announced for 2013. Just a feeling I have…I have absolutely no evidence to back it up.

i'm going to put a vote behind this one and build on it by saying i'll bet the demise is announced along with a 2014 attraction in the coming weeks- also with the announcement that for 2013 a new dark ride that may have a family tilt to it in the former Crypt building.

Given the lack of a teaser or two at this point, I'm doubtful we're getting a sizable coaster for next year. Maybe something small, if that.

If we're getting anything (and remember, we just got a significant waterpark overhaul), my money's on a flat ride or more 2011-esque general park improvements.

I do think the announcement will have something to do with SOB. Just the ride is not getting fixed. If that does not happen how about a new water slide.

I would be shocked if there was a new coaster built anytime soon unless its inside Soak City. I wouldnt be suprised to see SoB and Delirium gone. I really hope when they send the bad news for SoB that they send some really good news in the same breath. I dont think Delirium has operated an entire day this year,its years or days have got to be numbered.

one of paramounts worst mistakes

What a good choice Delirium was for the king cobra replacement.

King Cobra had to close though. Delirium was a bad choice though IMO, just not my kind of ride.

New stuff for kids area would be cool. Bumper Boats, a steel coaster, tea cups, and return of pedal trains. For us big kids: some retheming to BLSC, (although it is looking really good!) readd water effects and more fire, send FoF over the edge with more theming that it has ever had.

At least one new kid ride and one ride with a decent amount of theming added to it. Although im not a larger person, how about longer seatbelts and modfied lap/sholder restraints to allow larger guests to enjoy rides. Even could just have two or three rows just for the larger guests.

I could see the Soak City renovation being followed by a new slide. I don't think we'll see anything in the park, just a new slide in SC.

Vortex as a whole was not painted during the construction of Diamondback.

Diamondback was built in 2009. Vortex was painted in 2008. Furthermore, the only part of Vortex that was painted in 2008 were the orange rails. The last time Vortex was painted over completely was some time around 2001.

I could see the Soak City renovation being followed by a new slide. I don't think we'll see anything in the park, just a new slide in SC.

If we get anything new added to the already new Soak City, then it more than likely wont just be one slide, It will be a group of slides.

I agree. I think Slides this year with SOB dismantle as well as some other spruce ups (AZ?) and then following year 2014 I believe we'll have a new roller coaster.
