It's the life of a Kings Island enthusiast. I'm always looking forward to the future of Kings Island. I can't even wait for what happens in 2018. Or 2030. What?! What can it be?!

What about Kings Island's 150th Anniversary? I won't even be alive then!

Thing about this is addiction, and adrenaline is like any drug, addicting. Once you start getting the same fix, you need more.

(Keep in mind that i dont drink OR do drugs, but different things are a drug considered by some)

Hopefully I'll be around for their 100th!

"I'll tell you, grandkids...back then, we had this ride called Vortex...but it sank into the ground!"

*shock and awe on grandkids' faces*

"...and Son of Beast, don't even get me started..."

RMC, RMC, RMC, RMC

The RMC version of YoungStud?

I certainly hope not!

I would say an expansion of Oktoberfest. And we just started off the 2014 season 4 weeks ago, and we art already trying to figure out 2015 haha. Enjoy Banshee for a while! She's new, she's fast, she's a "dime". Let's wait until mid season or during the fall to start talking about what's coming to the park. (Unless there is something clearly going on for something in the future).

I am certainly happy with what we have, but I don't see debating, or wondering, what will happen next as an issue

_{Plenty of room for flats between The Racer, AE and FOF.}

That would certainly open up that area a lot and I would enjoy that, but, as I stated above, would you consider it an expansion of Oktoberfest or of Coney Mall?

I would look at it as an expansion of X-Base with perhaps a minor walkway around the end of The Racer. Keep in mind that (as has been already discussed) at the end of The Racer and AE is a pretty big drop in terrain that could prevent any kind of access from that end without major terrain adjustments. Bring in the RCT terrain raising tool.

Bring in RCT bridge builder tool. One minute and you can have yourself an elegant wood covered bridge.

That would probably work out well, only issue is the entrance to X-Base is already a choke point nightmare. I feel that would only make it worse having an immediate left from the entrance.

Couldn't agree more. I don't think there was ever an intention on expanding beyond FOF at first. They could....maybe,,,expand the X-Base entrance further back towards the lift hill of The Racer...I'm not an architect. Maybe a walkway between the games buildings to the additional entrance? (I'm sure that idea will go over well with some folks...LOL! )

The only way I see it working with an immediate left is if we shorten the exit of Flight of Fear(where the photo booth is) which, technically, could be done. I don't think they will though haha, and it will still be a choke point even with that, just a much lesser one.

In all honesty though, as I have said many times, the next (bigger) attraction we get will take place in that great big box of metal in Rivertown.

How about just walk from AZ through Coney to X base and enjoy the sites and sounds, maybe a ride along the way, and enjoy the walk

They could move the maintenance shops that are over by Racer, Firehawk, and FoF somewhere else and build a ride plaza and station there, and have a new coaster extend out onto SoB's old plot of land that is sitting empty right now.

If Cedar Fair were to ever get an RMC, what park do you think it would go to?

It would be Mean Streak at Cedar Point. One of the only coasters that's a walk on at Cedar Point. The other being Blue Streak, but just don't see that happening.

I Just got this great idea put some bleachers near racer and watch them race and put in a new racing themed coaster and flat rides

Racer, as the name of a Kings Island ride, is always capitalized here...

I actually believe that it is called "The Racer".

Disregard

That would be cool, but what type of coaster is it?

I'm thinking some sort of launched coaster like maverick that will fit a racing theme

maybe a dual TTD?

maybe a dual TTD?

That would be unbelievably awesome, but would probably also set a cost record. Roughly 60-70 million dollars?

Considering TTD cost $25,000,000 in 2003.

Maverick, as the name of a Cedar Point ride, is always capitalized here.

And Cedar Fair is highly unlikely to buy one more INTAMIN rocket coaster, much less two.

I wonder if there will ever be another INTAMIN Rocket?

Probably not at Cedar Fair. Maybe not at Six Flags, either. Certainly not at Herschend.

Sorry to get off-topic, but I wonder what Holiday World is planning for 2015.

That's under discussion here: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/29254-holiday-world-2014-park-map/

Sorry. Back on topic everyone!

What if INTAMIN made a strata-coaster that did more...
