bonsaiisuperstar Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 They sure do have a thing for those Dinosaurs at Kings Island. I NEVER see people paying to see it. I did once see a corporate group going together and a few random little kids. I just don't see how it makes any money. Maybe it just me. /shrug
TyRush Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I think maybe for little kids it is neat, but for an older person, i think it has no popularity. Maybe I'm wrong, but when i went to KD last year, there was nobody in it
Whodey Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I think it must be making Cedar Fair money because they decided to put another D-Alive in Carowinds. At least KI is in the woods and not in an open field like Carowinds. I got a good view of theirs while waiting in line for Afterburn. Now I don't have to spend 5 to see it. At KI I usually see a trickle of people going back there while I am riding Racer.
Vonni Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I think all the money CF is putting out to install DA attractions at thier parks could be put to better use in other areas of the parks, but thats just me. I dont see them being all that popular, especially as an upcharge attraction.
Aceattack52 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 ^ The one at Carowinds is not very popular at all. I can see inside the exhibit from the steps going into the AfterBurn station. Usually there is no one in there, but when it's busy, there may be up to 3 people there.
TyRush Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 but when it's busy, there may be up to 3 people there.
Coaster Curt Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Flight of Fear, is this something we should ride when at KI or avoid?
Whodey Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 It is one of the better rides. The line does move a little slow so hitting it early is usually a good idea. It works out since Firehawk is slow too and they are right next to each other. I would say don't miss it.
Coaster Curt Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 ^ Thanks, we will make sure to get a couple rides in on it then.
coasterbill Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I actually think Flight of Fear is the best ride in the park. These are very underrated coasters.
Coaster Curt Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 ^ Wow alright I will make sure we hit it early.
TyRush Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I actually think Flight of Fear is the best ride in the park. These are very underrated coasters. Yes! FOF at KD in my opinion is awesome. It is so underrated and packs a puch! I feel they are very smooth too
Midgetman82 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Not wanting to add too much to the hype or overrate it, but it is my favorite indoor roller coaster, and favorite coaster in the park aside from Diamondback.
Coaster Curt Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 So it seems like we should hit this ride a couple times.
HTCO Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Looks like the dino in front of the park has fallen over due to high winds in the area.
Guy T. Koepp Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 T-rex Down! T-rex Down! Send medical back up ASAP.
ernierocker Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 For some reason that photo looks like it was taken in the 70's. Poor dino.
alilstronger Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 ^ I thought the same thing actually when I looked a the pic.
B&MBoy1982 Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 ^^Flight of Fear's line is not too bad. The usually get the trains dispatched pretty quickly. Full inside queue is about 45 minutes to an hour. Same as a full Diamondback queue which is exactly 45 minutes from the entrance to boarding the train. TRex is closed for routine maintenance!
Philrad71 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 This looks like a job for the Herculoids! OMG - The Herculoids...what a blast from the past! Will Gloop & Gleep arrive in time to save the dinosaur???
Meteornotes Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 For some reason that photo looks like it was taken in the 70's. Poor dino. Indeed. No one, especially dinosaurs, should be exposed to the '70's. dt
boughtontroy Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 That's the same happen to Kings Dominion's T-Rex in front of the park.
