At almost every park, there is a ride that is not as popular as the rest. Which ride should be on the to go list if you could decide?

Thunder Alley - but I would keep all the other rides, we have a small collection of flats as it is and all of the roller coasters are good. Although I wouldn't mind seeing at least one coaster in Planet Snoopy leaving; I feel like it's cheap when Kings Island boasts 14 roller coasters when 3 of them are kiddie coasters!

Mantis. That is my least favorite ride in anypark. Just not fun and painful.

I just dont like standup coasters.

Delirium, Thunder Alley, and that hulk that shall remain nameless behind it. Would free up room, and, give better access to Flight Deck.

Delirium is always busted, Thunder Alley is deserted, and SOBNO.

Oh, since we're talking about any amusement park, I would get rid of Primeval Whirl at Disney's Animal Kingdom. There is no Disney magic on that and could easily be put into Kings Island.

:angry: Backlot Stunt Coaster! Get that ugly piece of crap out of my park right now, and bring back the 'Tiques and Flyers! That thing is nothing but a big commercial for a forgettable Mark Wahlberg star vehicle and/or Mini Coopers, neither of which has survived the test of time!

:rolleyes: Fun ride, though...

i agree, but without those 4, we would have the "world's best kids area" but I totally agree

As much as I know there are a lot of people that want to see it repaired, I'd vote Son of Beast. I just think it's a huge waste of space that could be used for other things.

The Racer and Beast. The Beast takes up too much land that could be used for other important things and the Racer is just an eyesore.


If you didn't notice by now I'm trolling you. We all know that the Beast and Racer are amazing coasters and that the park should tear down that pile of wood in AZ.

^I hear that. Who wants to ride stuff made out of wood anyway? That's like a fire hazard.

Yes, steel coasters designed by computers are far more superior than any classic woodie.

The Beast is one reason why Kings Island is famous. The Beast is the LAST ride I would remove.

I thought Kings Island was famous for the overabundance of giant HUSS rides.

I really dont like thunder alley. I was going to say the same thing about one of planet snoopys roller coasters leaving. But I think it is fine just cthe way it is. I wouldnt get rid of any roller coasters. Mabey SOB.

I think SOB should stay. I think all the rides there are fine. Maybe build an extension behind firehawk?

I agree except that I would relocate and re theme it in the Action Zone.

Boo Blasters on Boo Hill. I wouldn't get rid of the whole ride, just the theming. It's lame! I'd totally revamp that ride and make it something really unique!

Thunder Alley, i walk by it and say,"NAH". If it actually had a sweet track i would say "YA"! There could be some more room for expansion here soon?

Not sure your age, but with a kid who recently turned 4 (as well as a newborn) I find Planet Snoopy's collection of coasters to be almost perfect, and well spaced out in terms of height requirements (not sure if it was planned that way or they just fell into it) Nevermind that if you removed any of the 3 coasters in Planet Snoopy you wouldn't net much space to anything else with other than another kids ride. The Great Pumpkin coaster was great when he was 2 and not quite tall enough to get on Woodstock Express. By the time he turned 3, he sprouted up to 40" and loves every ride on Woodstock express. Sure its small and meant for little kids, but it still packs in a great ride for even an adult. He just turned 4 and is now tall enought ride Flying arial chase. Previously I had never been on Flying Ace before until he hit the 44" mark earlier this summer, but you definently get the feeling that you're moving faster than what you'd guess it to feel like when watching it on the ground.

You get a good starter coaster intended for small kids, you get a nice classic woodie with some air time, especially for little kids working their way up, then you get an inverted ride with your legs swinging free to give them that big kid feel. Get ride of Snoopy Junction and install an nice indoor wild mouse style coaster and you'd have a near peferct lineup of coasters for kids of all ages to progress thru as they work up to the Racers or the Beast. Next year he should be tall enough to progress up to the 48" coasters.

If they would just make it so that all the guns worked properly, I'd be happy with the ride as is. Its not perfect, but its a must ride for my 4 year old each trip to the park (sometimes a 3 or 4 trip ride if the lines are short) The theme could definently be improved, but the shooting style ride thru AC is a solid idea.

Just because you can't see the point, doesn't mean others can't. A dull pencil still has a point, but to some people it's just pointless.

Any cloned ride (Windseeker, Dinosaurs Alive, Tidal Wave Bay, BBonBH) and or any cloned area (enough said).
