Kings Island (KI) Discussion Thread
Diamondbacker27 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Guys! Quit teasing me! -
I wouldn't be too hopeful. Six Flags pays at least $10 Million per renovation and that includes guarantees for future business. Two whole tracks with I-Box doesn't seem practical for a park which will just be getting back on track. If it was the case, Thunder Run would have been retracked with Topper Track. No, not exactly. Ed said something about forming Twisted Twins into one larger wooden coaster with a major refurb. Thunder Run couldn't get box track because KK has limited amount of money as of this time. So therefore I agree to disagree. ^ And yes, Kentucky kingdom was a money maker before Six Flags bought it. Topper Track isn't much more expensive than traditional retracking, in fact, it's cheaper over time. Do you have any information to substantiate your claim that Kentucky Kingdom was profitable? I don't know why Ed Hart would sell a perfectly good and profitable park unless the property wasn't making profit, or if there was no clear path to pay down the immense debt the park put onto Ed and the Fair Board. Yes, I edited my post above.

Ed Hart has a YouTube Chanel on which he replys to viewers questions and tells how KK was a major money maker before Six bought it out.

Why would a coaster be running at 5:30 am anyways? Unless your asking would it run if it was 40 degrees earlier. -

I do to. His posts are always really weird on that thread. I think he doesn't make sure he posts for quality. He is probably all about quantity. Look at his joining time and his post number. -

We don't need another topic for it. This forum is for everything about Kings Island, there really isn't anything off topic if it has something to do with KI. -
