We send people to work different rides on a daily basis to help with the staffing issues and make sure every ride has a pretty even amount of workers.

One other option that would be a "standout" for the Vortex spot is a Vekoma Flying. This would pay homage not to Vortex, but to the nearby Firehawk that was taken out for Orion. As far as I can think of, there are no other fliers in the entire CF chain and it seems like Vekoma fixed a lot of their (and B&M's) problems with the 2000's flying coasters. Vortex's sport of land also has some decent elevation that would make a flying coaster really fun.

Besides rides, I feel KI also needs to build a resort hotel on property. Parks like CP & Knotts have a resort complex built around their parks. If CP wants KI to become a destination park they need to develop that. Like, slap down a casino resort right where that massive grass section is in front of the water park parking lot. Then heavily remodel Timberwolf to a modern concert venue (or replace it with an indoor one attached to the previously noted hotel).

I totally get your point of view but on the flip side, other parks (BGTB Iron Gwazi for example) are going to continue to build coasters trying to be better. Kings Island is a big enough park to deserve a top tier RMC. It would also give people a reason to make a week in Ohio. Maybe do a few days at CP followed by a few days at KI. I would really like to see a "son of beast" RMC go in vortex's plot of land followed by a Pantheon esk ride go where invertigo/front entrance is.

I agree on everything except kings island having better food and beverage than cedar point. Cedar point was better last year with the addition of the farmhouse and the grand pavillion addition makes it not even close. You are completely right on park pride and that is why we’ve never had a bad visit to kings island. Kings island is also run a lot better. The staff and training of staff there blows away cedar point. Also your analysis of coasters is spot on too. They always play second fiddle to cedar point and if they get a record breaker it has to be a different model or something cedar point has had a long time. Really hoping kings island or cedar point get an extreme spinner. Not picky on which one. If cedar fair ever builds with intamin again, a blitz coaster could make sense because maverick is almost 20 years old. Kings island got banshee which blows away raptor in stats but at the time it was built raptor was almost 20 years old.

I wish it were more trees at Kings Island but I'm sure that will come in time.

The 1st time I went to an amusement park in the modern age was when I visited Cedar Point May 21st through 26th 2018 when I was 48 years old. Since then I've visited many others but the only one as good was Kings Island in June 2023 due to better operations. Let's just agree that Cedar Fair is the best amusement park (not theme park) chain and that Cedar Fair works best in Ohio. I'm just glad you agree that Kings Island and Cedar Point are the best two amusement parks I ever visited, and also that Kings Island has beaten Cedar Point every year stating in 2020 when Cedar Point allowed Covid to make them worse than Kings Island. Since then Cedar Point has never recovered enough to be a better park than Kings Island. My favourite coasters at Kings Island are 1: Diamondback; 2: Orion; 3: Banshee; 4: Mystic Timbers; 5: The Beast in row 17; ALL coasters in the back car on the right side. This park could use a Mach extreme spinning coaster to beat Ride to Happiness. Your wishes aren't at all unrealistic, which I can't say for most coaster 'thusies. I greatly appreciate that.

I have to respectfully disagree with your theory that CF is unwilling to upstage one of its flagship attractions at other parks. They did this with the B&M Hyper, Invert and Dive in recent years. I feel Orion was an outlier because according to rumor, it originally was a planned hyper for CAGA, but was reconfigured for KI. My guess is it came up smaller than Fury because they wanted to stay close to the hyper budgeted amount.

You are pretty much correct on that. However, according to the book "Kings Island: A Ride through Time" it was stated that the park thought going too big would be too intimidating for some guests and they wanted it to appeal to a broader audience. Also they wanted it to be unique to the park and take advantage of the land topography so that's why they went with a 300 foot drop with a 287 foot lift.

Love it, spot on because I too was thinking of a spinning Mack Rides Coaster. My question is this, could you see Cedar Fair create a banger for Kings Island in 2025 to go along with Top Thrill 2 and create an Ohio Coaster Enthusiast Deal where they work out both parks for a special price? This would be a banger deal that would establish Ohio as the best state for Coasters - not Florida (which will be great marketing to educate the GP). I'm sure I'm reaching at straws, but if I were Cedar Fair, this would be my strategy going in on getting returns on Top Thrill 2 and the Next King's Island banger in 2025 or 2026.

Cedar Fair has floated that they want to try and beat that record at some point. Vortex's plot is big enough for them to accomplice this easily.

Add a huss jump or zamperla air race to the area and theme it as a unicorn or griffin. Remove Congo falls and invertigo and add the front gate coaster and theme it as the manticore or gargoyle.

Been my home park my entire life. We were both born in 1972. Kings Island to me is only worth a visit once every few years at best, and this is coming from someone who had a pass every year for decades. It is so sterile and corporate, all the fun and randomness is gone. Boring. And even with all its new coasters, it is still 5+ years behind where it should be. I will drive for hours just to get DolllyWood, Ceder Point, KennyWood or even the 7 hours needed for Six Flags Great America outside Chicago before I would bother to drive the 15 minutes getting to Kings Island. Yes, CP and SFGA are also both very corporate feeling parks as well, but they both still have what King Island is missing. FUN, not once in all my visits to CP or SFGA have I ever left angry or disappointed. Can't say the same for Kings Island, especially in the last 10 years or so.

Well it's been considered so underrated it's becoming overrated (we're starting to see similar reactions to Hersheypark, Dollywood, and Knoebels). For a few years now, I think a lot of people have been using Cedar Point's high profile against them in a lot of ways (It's like teasing the hottest girl in the school for having a mole on her arm). Yes, while competition has obviously stepped up tremendously in the last 5-10 years, I still haven't personally seen enough from Kings Island (in any of my last 5-6 visits) for me to rank it higher than Cedar Point just yet. In the majority of the cases, whenever I've seen people rating KI over CP, it's been primarily based on extremely circumstantial, cherry-picked, and preferential-based experiences and not necessarily based on a steady and objective lens (e.g., value, quality, rides, entertainment, atmosphere, service, food, etc). Please don't get me wrong, Kings Island is great and everything, but I do feel like people have been slightly exaggerating its strengths to purposely knock down its sister park down a notch in a straight head-to-head.
