If you where asked by Kings Island to come up with the next Ride, What would it be? Were would it be (You can use Google images and implement it into the park) and why.

I would choose a S&S Screaming Swings.

I would put it next to The Racers Across from Flight of Fear

Posted Image

Reason why is I believe that area should get some attention. It's Mainly Coney Mall, & RiverTown. I know that area is getting attention with Flight of Fear but something new would be nice other then just a Roller Coaster area. Plus I can REALLY see that ride being put there and have a good X-Base theme for it.

Don't be rude cause there is a spelling error. Simple mistake. You could of very easily said "Hey friendly reminder did you mean "by kings island"?

Rude? Really?

I suggest you read the terms of service. Proofreading your posts is a sign of respect for other posters, and is required, not optional.

Often it is very hard to figure out what you are trying to say.

Not only a spelling error, but a grammatical, too.

Crypt, who loathes both errors.

1) It wouldn't fit there without removing that building they use for Haunt.

2) That area is used for matinence.

Does anyone else notice that the area he circled, where it splits, looks like an airport runway?

^ It definitely looks like it, and probably is supposed to look like a runway considering X-Base is a military(Air Force) themed area.

For the sake of the topic,
The area-Action Zone/ SOB ruins.
Ride- Wooden roller coaster, SOB the revenge.
Also like said, grammar is premier to the posting life of an KICer. It is the base line of all posts/topics. Great idea though!

Well unless your ideal atmosphere for a ride is concrete and well more concrete, I'd say that's the last place I'd put a ride.

I'm referring to the first post.

I very much like this Idea about calling in Son of Beast: The Revenge or as you put it SOB The Revenge.

Another idea,
Area-The Vortex
Ride- The Bat (a recreation of course, with a newer lay out)
One may only imagine where and what you could build at KI(or better yet bring back).

Since replacing SoB and rehabbing the area will almost certainly take more than one season, I'd replace Thunder Alley with a thrilling dark ride to replace The Crypt. Action Zone should be rethemed in the process, perhaps extending the aviation theme from X-Base.

Aviation is important to the history of the state, seems to fit the existing rides as well as "action" (excluding Thunder Alley), and already exists as a theme in the park. A dark ride would be nice as something that could provide thrills without heights, high speeds, or extreme forces. Presumably, thrills connect even those who can't handle physical extremes.

Why build a new dark ride building when there is one in Rivertown? I'd just reuse that..not build a new one...

I would add a ride like Jaws that was at UOR. I would put it were SOB stands for now. I would call it "The Great White™". Use the same song that was used for JAWS! and a simalr script. I would make it as close as possible to the JAWS! ride without any legal issues.
Here is just the music, Chief Brodie, base and Groden on Amity 3 who happens to be sinking out by the light house, no skipper.

That building now has a use and is much taller than needed for a dark ride. Though I suppose that the building is tall enough that a dark ride could be placed on different floor(s) than the Haunt, if the rumors about multiple stories are true.

I bet you that Universal has rights that say you can not have an animal jump out of water and scare guests on a boat. A boat can not ride around with an animal jumping out of the water ect...
I'm sure it's heavily guarded like TR:TR was...
