The problem with getting rid of Gemini is it takes out a good “stepping stone” coaster. As a kid, I would’ve had a really hard time getting to the bigger coasters (Magnum, Millennium) without it. I just think it gets rid of a pretty good middle ground coaster that would be missed.

[@spluver0005]

F P Maverick’s height requirement is higher than Gemini’s, but it also more intense than Gemini. No it’s not the biggest, but it’s definitely not a good stepping stone coaster.

[@cedarpointenthusiast]

I don’t think Gemini will be removed anytime soon. It has a lot of historic value as opening as the worlds tallest coaster in the 70s. It’s also a really high capacity ride, something Cedar Point really needs. In my opinion, Cedar Creek Mine ride is in more danger. It takes up an even bigger plot of land, with it never having a line, even when the parks at capacity. CCMR can also supply parts for Gemini, which has more historic value blah blah blah

[@that21pilotsfan9]

True. As sentimental at CCMR is for me, it being my first coaster that wasn’t a Camp Snoopy ride, I think the possibility of it being removed is gradually increasing.

Sparky Student I would have to disagree with you there. Sure, the American Eagle isn’t the smoothest rollercoaster out there, but I wouldn’t say it’s uncomfortable by any means. I feel it gives it character to the ride. Even for being an older coaster, I find it has great airtime hills and is overall still a fun experience. However, I can understand the reasons on why it might be a good idea to RMC the coaster. Though, I feel destroying the ride would cause Great America to lose a bit of its charm.

I like how every time we question if Cedar Point will remove Gemini, it's always something else.

@@invertedthrills144 I guess that's why it was removed. It wasn't so bad, but I noticed on rcdb that all of Kings Island's looping coasters pulled greater than 3gs. I think they need a "low intensity" "family" inverting looping coaster.

The Demon is a classic, this was my first ride when it was Marriott Great America and I loved it.

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

California’s Great America, or Six Flags Great America? Both parks were originally Marriotts Great America.

I was just listening to another bites the dust on my way home from school and got deja vu

[@FrIeDeGgS887]

Really wish they could have maintained American Eagle better. Been there several times now and I don’t know if I ever remembered both sides being open, but it always looks cool when you’re going by on the highway. It needs a retrack bad, I wouldn’t want to see it go.

[@PenguinPat]

I have never had any headbanging at all on Viper at SFMM. Granted, I've always sat towards the front, but I find the coaster smooth and I would be sad to see it go.

[@troyvsc]

I would say more likely to take out Tidal wave and use the space that it sits in and where Green Lantern was. They could even keep it a water ride just bigger and updated.

[@MrMywildside]

Yes. I never found Viper to be that bad in the way of roughness so I don’t see what the fuss is about with that one. Granted, it’s not the smoothest thing in the world, but it’s not unbearably rough IMO, either.

[@98dizzard]

Last time I visited a few years ago it was so painful I spent the rest of the day nursing a headache.

[@Neitenth]

@@98dizzard I've had much worse experiences with Scream than Viper.

[@salesrpg]

1. Anything with a recent new paint job has plans to be around for awhile. 2. Valley Fair has such few coasters there that it would be hard to justify a removal, especially without a good replacement. 3. California Great America Grizzly had enough recent track work done to ride almost as smooth as a steel coaster. 4. Cedar Fair also looks at the cost per ride of each person, which may or may not say much, because the best rides probably cost the most. 5. In my opinion, I agree with about 95% of all your opinions, across all your videos.

[@Tht1guy63]

The only time ive like american eagle is when they run it backwards. Its kinda rough but if i remember is smoother in reverse.

[@Ice-be9ei]

The only reason Anaconda is still standing is because they got rid of volcano and Cedar Fair doesn’t want to remove another coaster at KD until they get a new one.

[@AmusementLabs]

V2??? YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!! 😭😭😭

[@jelly4905]

As a former ride op at six flags great America, it’s a rumor that American Eagle can’t go anywhere due to new building codes. If they get rid of it, they could never put anything in it’s place due to its proximity to the highway. Most likely, they’ll give it the RMC treatment in order to keep their land

[@venzy215]

Dope channel aways strongly look forward to new videos keep them coming airtime

[@edgewoodclarinet]

Vortex at kings island was absolutely my favorite ride for nostalgia reasons. I will definitely miss it. I got on it for the last time during the last weekend of haunt, and they had put the dates up and took pictures. Very sad

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

[@themagicboy6548]

I thought Goldrusher was less jarring than viper the last time I went to magic mountain

[@overbanked]

IMO that most jarring coaster experience at SFMM is X2 (outside seats). I enjoyed the inside seats (much more smooth than the outside seats).

[@CesarGuzman84]

I love gold rusher, one of my favorite rides.. I know it’s a kiddie ride but gold rusher and ninja are always on my list if I’m walking by and I see no line.

[@foleyas9669]

I hope American Eagle can still stay around for even another 5 or 6 years. For such an old ride it's still very fun and the blue side is very smooth for a woodie. It's my 4th favorite ride at the park and I love to ride it once or twice a trip. Not to mention how iconic it is, it would just feel kind of wierd driving down the highway and not passing that helix and seeing whatever elements RMC (Or now GCI) put into it. I still think it would be even the best ride in the park if it is RMC'ed, but I like it as it is.

[@rileyatkinson6737]

Earlier today on Kentucky kingdom’s Instagram they teased that they were removing T3 and tagged RMC

[@SlightSillyBilly]

My home park is Six flags Great America and eagle is the by far the most painful coaster at the park( some people may disagree because of demon) but I think some sort of RMC similar to twisted colossus or possibly a raptor I would love to see either though.

[@shmoogboing2785]

Damn it my noti didn’t work...well I saw your insta and I clicked faster then dragster after that

[@randomoverpopulatedworldid3286]

the grizzly is a classic but it literally hurts to ride if you have mild back issues and the park is aware of that.

[@a-dub1160]

The American eagle is my favorite coaster of all time. I would be heartbroken. I pray for the retracking.

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

Same here. I love it the way it is. Problem is the park is not allowed to race it anymore.

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

They have attempted multiple retracks on it but it does not help with the ride not racing anymore.

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

Indeed it was.

[@BobMocarski]

@@tigerrocks503chase8 It is not that park is not allowed to race. It is the fact that the ride is old and wear and tear has set in. The ride is rough in spots especially in the helix. It has been known to shake while racing around the helix.

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

I knew age was a factor to it non racing.

[@alanthesuperhero]

So far, only Wicked Twister and Goliath are entirely gone. Wildcat was RMC'd and Desperado is being prepared to potentially reopen

[@saberline152]

you're constantly saying RMC it, you could also just let GCI rework the track if it's still a good layout also take a shot every time he says RMC

[@rikp]

As of April 2024, over four years later, you guessed three correct - 13. Wicked Twister (closed 2021), 8. Wildcat (closed 2022, RMCed 2023 -- as you guessed), and 5. Goliath/SFNE (closed 2019). Desperado is still SBNO. The video date is 12/3/2019 so there are still eight months to go...

[@jstyxx4110]

2:04 You know Viper’s still there right? I know you’re talking about the Mega Loopers, but ok. Also if someone like B&M made modern clones of them I wouldn’t be as sad to see it go. Also I’m nervous on RMC’s future as they may do too many projects at once. Gemini’s removal is going to anger GP->E. Removing GA’s Green Lantern makes sense as it’s awful, and we already have a floor less. Just convert it and give it to Frontier City for an easy attendance booster. Considering were receiveing JDevil in 2020, 2023 would be a perfect oppurtunity to put a big flagship ride. Why is that the first coaster I see when in the parking lot is Green Lantern (K Ka excluded).

[@harleystubbs6199]

I'm out of the loop on the RMC-Canada thing (pun maybe intended?) But whats up with RMC and Canada?

[@AirtimeThrills]

It sounds like Canada has a protectionist law saying that you need to use Canadian companies to do work as long as they're qualified to do so before a foreign company is allowed to come in. RMC uses their own builders

[@lsmentertainment3577]

Apparently Anaconda was supposed to be next after they removed Shockwave, but the park had two unplanned losses- Hurler and Volcano. As expendable as Anaconda is, the park knows it can't get away with removing another coaster until they add something major. That being said, I think Anaconda will be gone as soon as the next major coaster moves in (probably whatever is taking Volcano's land).

[@ternedo6074]

Haven't watched the video yet, if Goliath at SFNE isn't here idk what to say.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Oh its on there

[@ternedo6074]

Airtime Thrills ok good. As that being my home park everytime there I look at that massive thousand or two ton monstrosity that I would rather impaling my stomach than taking up that plot of land. I’d rather the actual goliath itself take his massive hands and use them to wrap them fully around my neck and crank it cleanly off before I’d debate riding this

[@tigerrocks503chase8]

Goliath used to be a way better ride before it got that new train from Chance Rides. It’s a shame Goliath has now turned into a pile of junk.

[@rayvinson1414]

It’s amazing how people forget that Texas has three major amusement parks with Six Flags over Texas owning at least three coasters well past their prime. The Judge Roy Scream physically loses some wood with every storm that comes through plus it sits on a good sized piece of land that could house a better coaster.

[@thenextbestamericanrecord]

Viper is my literal favorite and if the remove it I would be so sad

[@overbanked]

It's my favorite large Arrow looper (even over Tenn Tornado, which is too short IMO).

[@cryptic4762]

I disagree about Invertigo. It has 20-30 minute lines when it’s open. Invertigo is probably their 6th most popular coaster after beast, Diamondback, Mystic timbers (which barely has a 10 minute wait?), banshee (literal walk on), and flight of fear. I get that boomerangs have bad capacity and MT and Banshee have great capacity, but KI seems to care about Invertigo a lot. Downtime is decreasing as well. I’d give it 10 years maybe 15 if they really go for it. It’s in such a small corner of the park anyways BUT I’ve always said getting rid/relocating Congo Falls, getting rid of the theatre cause it’s never in use, and relocating Invertigo to another CF park offers a great first impression coaster views at the gate. Sort of like Gatekeeper. My bet is that it’d be a Dive coaster (unfortunately) or an RMC at the gate if they ever did it

[@DoswarePictures]

Invertigo gets long lines because they have one train ops. If they had two trains, there’s a chance it might be dead.

[@BobLecast]

Volcano, made my plans to visit kd the day before they announced its removal....

[@ericgalowitsch9662]

Canada's Wonderland still has some land available by overlapping coasters, CW can also use part of their parking lot to, since their parking lot is so massive.
