Decoding Episode II: Rivertown 2017 and the Falling Trees

Yes Presto123, you can see the clearing of trees that heads down to the lake from the train station, but because of the downhill section, you cannot see the lake or the wwc round table. The area is kind of blocked from the best view by a band of trees just past the railroad station, but you can see that there is a clearing.

    Hmmm. When I zoom in, all I can see is "Obi-Don!"

    Nothing to see here. Just some trees, and a few engineers and stone carvers working on an 80' statue... move along 

  • Hi guys!  Long time follower, first time poster.  Just wanted to finally join in on the fun!  This is the first season I've had a pass in probably more than a decade!  I grew up in the area but I mov

I think some people on this thread will be very much like this when Kings Island announces their new rollercoaster. :)

Standing in line for park to open. Can't wait to go talk to the chicken at the Petting Zoo and get some answers

to keeping the old, blending it with new thrills chills and flats, My guess is a coaster, or the worlds longest log flume ever, just kidding, it would be nice of KI, to remember the family, maybe add a 2nd dark ride, refurbish the first dark ride, add some Antique cars, and I see maybe for the big anniversary coming up maybe a x base addition especially a restroom, more rides. 

Its anybody's guess what will be, or what KI will get, it just seems to me whatever it is, massive, on many accounts. 

Rivertown 2017 will be interesting. 

Winterfest? Maybe that would be great to. 

Would really love to see a second dark ride added versus Boo Blasters to be changed into a Triotech ride. Think Boo Blaster still needs so upgrading, can be relatively cheap, and be a great spot for some sort of Peanuts dark ride. Something kids and the whole family can relaly enjoy. Maybe even make it more of a classic dark ride again and not a shooter.

Then add a Triotech ride like Voyage to the Iron Reef elsewhere in the park.

But will the park very well make them Mack and Cheese, served with fine whine?

I really, really hope not.

 

Sparky, who saw what you did there.

(I woke up on the wrong side of the bed), so I wish KI would just go ahead and (spill the beans) because( I'm no spring chicken). I want to know about this before I (kick the bucket).  Don't continue to (rub me the wrong way). Announce this thing and I'll be (pleased as punch). As (a rule of thumb), most parks( go the whole nine yards) to keep their patrons informed. What's the matter KI.....(cat got your tongue?). KI already has more great coasters than you can (shake a stick at).  Another great woody would be (icing on the cake).  Announce it already and (put this thing to bed).

Carowinds gets five flats next year and so dose Wonderland not sure if KI or KD gets any of the CF finds in Europe.

Canada's Wonderland is getting new flats next year? Uhm, Worlds of Fun will be getting 2 I believe. As far as we know, there were 7-8 rides picked. 
 

Can they get a skyride off of somebody? Six Flags, Busch Gardens, Cedar Point all have them. KI needs them back.

 

 

EDIT: After doing a quick google search, I wonder what made skyrides so dangerous back in the late 70's? There were at least 3 separate incidents in which people fell to their death after the cars dropped off the line. 5 total deaths. Obviously, the concern is not there today. I always found the skyrides even scarier than the big coasters and such. You are riding probably 100 feet up on a little cable and a small wheel assembly or something. If something malfunctions, there are no anti rollback devices:)

c79ee339b9880474a1b36a62b58e71ae.jpg As a kid this was my favourite flat ride at KI. I use to spin the the car around so fast and scare my brother. Not caring if the chain had broke we would be doom. [emoji2] it be nice if they could find another one of these

I have a story to tell someday about the sky ride at SFSTL when I was a kid. Bad, bad story. :)

 I hope you wasn't there. The skyride accident there is often listed among the top 5 or 10 worst theme park accidents.
