Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
stashua123 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
At the park today. It is pretty much dead. All major rollercoasters are a walk on. Windseeker is running at reduced capacity with only 32 people boarding. Red Racer is closed because it is so dead. Monster is up and running again. -
Favorite Summers/Dinn Coaster Poll
stashua123 replied to djw44's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
A little known fact is that The Beast was constructed by Charles Dinn head of Kings Island Director of Construction and Maintenance. So it could be counted as a John Allen, Dinn, Summers, Kings Island Construction wooden coaster. John Allen gave Kings Island formulas to help build the coaster. Kings Island built it In-House with Charles Dinn heading construction. He later formed the Dinn Corparation three years after The Beast opened. Curtis Summers was heavily subcontracted to help build the ride. So while not on the list, my favorite(technical) Dinn/Summers wooden coaster is The Beast . -
Your 5 year plan and predictions for any park
stashua123 replied to adamd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Kings Island 2015: A long awaited Coney Mall revitalization. Shake Rattle and Roll is refurbished with a new lighting package. Racer repainted and re tracked to its original 1972 colors. New Larson Flyers added right where Flying Eagles(Relocated In Peace ) was. Vortex completely repainted with the same colors. 2016: New food options and Live Shows. Soak City Waterpark gets an expansion with new slides. More Trees added by the Bat and Banshee and especially needed in Soak City. Clearing of Trees by Firehawk. I wonder what is being added? 2017: With Kings Islands year long 45 -
Best and Lamest Coaster "Ending"
stashua123 replied to Teddymonster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Best: The Beast. A Insane 540 degree lateral g helix is all you need to say this is one of the best woodies ever! Worst: Adventure Express. I love the ride but an ending in "Now you will pay" to go to the station is anti climatic and pretty bad. -
S&S Sansei Discussion Thread

Kentucky Kingdom is not exactly major but I see it as a good park to put it at. I mean the first Chance Hyper GTX was installed at Kentucky Kingdom and they do have a history of buying prototypes under Hart from Vekoma in the 90's. Maybe. -

I disagree with that. When they released the statistics for how many riders there where last year, Vortex was the third most popular ride with more than 1 million riders. Unless something bad happens to Vortex, I do not think Vortex will be dismantled -
I maybe of minority here but I am not really liking all of these wooden rollercoasters being torn down and or converted to a RMC Hybrid/Topper. Yes those coasters are very awesome but some coasters do not need it. While Colossus was not the best coaster in the world, it is a classic. If Six Flags does this to every other slightly old wooden coaster there are not going to be many wooden ones at parks. IK RMC coasters are awesome but not every old or newer woodie needs to become one.

Cedar Fair does not make RMC coasters though. Great job though! -
Most Shocking Ride Announcements?
stashua123 replied to dropzonefan's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Why is nobody posting Banshee? Banshee was pretty surprising because of The Bat Flies Again Website thingy 3 days before the announcement that changed my view to a wing coaster. I was also at the announcement. -

I'm personally very excited for Banshee! I was there at the announcement and nearly everyone loved it! I can't wait to ride the world's longest inverted rollercoaster Banshee! The only very major downtime Diamondback has had was last year when they closed it for about a week because they needed to do some structural work on some of the footers. Other than that I've never seen Diamondback down for a long time. On Banshee's announcement day they where having (I think) Restraint issues so they closed it down for a little bit.
