Does someone else feel like writing a description. I think the only thing I know about the background of the park is that it's called Kings Island because its supposed to be like Coney Island...Except it's in Kings Mills / was owned by the Kings Family Entertainment Company...Hence the name. Beast reviewed anyhow....

My favorite odd naming is the "Bent Cuban Eight".

OK, that first batch is all done!

Mission, Push etc, can I ask why you didn't make these posts here in the theming speculation thread in the first place? I had to manually move them here out of construction discussion.

Ah yes, for a degree of interest, I'll stick to rides outside of Australia. I've been to USA UK Canada UAE Singapore NZ

I've started doing some ride reviews in our great review section: https://www.parkz.com.au/reviews But I need some inspiration....So, any requests for rides you want to see reviewed by me?

My longest yeah boi ever:

So long as the cross sectional area of the bolts is equal to the cross sectional area created by the wall thickness of the support column tube, it's all good.

It looks like it's a covered work area for a tiny hypercoaster.

Yeah but then DW must have "copied" this element

Are you sure you aren't confusing with the cable guides. The mag brakes for the fake out drop aren't there. If they were, they would be in the way and slowing every car. Ah well, you can take a pic for all of us if you are certain

Yes, it's not like Buzzsaw killed anyone.

The wave pool definitely has has closures. They even reprofiled the whole floor a few years ago.

As a rule, an incline loop is one with the loop on a tilt: https://www.parkz.com.au/photo/10489-Green_Lantern/gallery/sort/newest/location/ride-2048-Green_Lantern/offset/2 https://www.parkz.com.au/photo/10392-Hydra_the_Revenge/gallery/sort/newest/location/ride-2089/offset/7 Whereas a normal one has the track aligned vertically when viewed from the end: https://www.parkz.com.au/photo/4352-Scream/gallery/sort/newest/location/ride-303/offset/10

The shaping looks quite smooth and comfortable.

A dive loop in reverse is an Immelmann.

Ok mate, we get it. you don't have to put Adventure Worlds AW for every post.

Yeah but whenever I see B&M hyper track there's always that mental association it's going to be a lethargic ride compared to Intamin track (Or Mack as the case may be)

Prospect is 2h from Sydney? Righto.

I thought the Huss ones were a bit more complex due to the massive hydraulic ram in the middle and more complex cable arrangements.

Yes, you can definitely have something which achieves both

But an abrupt stop or roughness is not inherent to themed coasters in general right? Coasters don't get rough because you themed it.

Obviously anyone would pick a Giga over a kiddie coaster. But a more interesting comparsion is a good smooth coaster with an immersive theme, versus a giga. Eg Disneylands Space Mountain, or Revenge of The Mummy versus Fury 325.

Tomorrow is a public holiday.
