I think it is pretty clear that this was done by an financial analyst and not somebody closely looking at Kentucky Kingdom. While I certainly think that removing the Vampire (which itself was an old antiquated coaster when it showed up) hurt the park, as it was a great ride, I don't fault Six Flags for removing a ride that cuts a girls leg off and puts you in financial burden.

That said, I haven't felt the need to go to Kentucky Kingdom since 2002, and certainly have spent many many days at Kings Island and Cedar Point since then.

Actually, I think it's going to be a ground-hugging flyer like Manta…

Yeah, i hope Kentucky Kingdom comes back. I've never been, but it's always sad to see a theme park go. Now that it has a second chance, let's hope poor managing doesn't ruin it again.

I'm happy someone other than six flags is taking on this project. Six flags just didn't pay enough attention to the park, but I have a feeling the original owner will be able to fix this park back into it's original place in the theme park community.

Yep. It was de-flagged about a year ago: http://www.thecoastercritic.com/2010/02/six-flags…

Yay Kentucky Kingdom! I'm so happy for them! Watching that vid was pretty sad since you realized how six flags single handedly ruined that park but theyre back! i'm guessing a b&m hyper or floorless for theyre new ride

Great to hear that Kentucky Kingdom is being "reborn"! Judging from the video, Six Flags clearly messed it all up. Thank goodness Ed Hart is park operator again, I really hope he can turn it around! Does Six Flags not own Kentucky Kingdom now?

Anyone else think that everything will be renamed? Twisted Twins could be something else entirely by when it reopens.

If you build it they will come ! So it seems unanimous that six flags operations stinks. That 2012 seems great. I want to go to Holiday World in the worst way and am thinking about 2012 also. This season i want to hit all the cedar fair parks nearby. So many parks i haven't visited.

i think any rollercoaster even close to what your thinking would suit the park greatly
