Park News - (10/29/09) A local source tells me that at this point about the only part of Chang still left standing is the lift hill, which is expected be taken down by this weekend.
    (9/22/09) The local news has now confirmed that work has begun to remove Chang. However the Chang rumor mill is working overtime lately, ever since we broke the story that the ride was likely to be Chicago bound. The latest wild rumors being spread now claim that Chang could touch down at any number of other Six Flags parks without a Stand-Up coaster (SFA? SFGAdv?) while another rumor talks about only sending the trains to Chicago and sending the coaster to SFMM. However my own trusted sources say nay-nay to all of these, and to hold fast to our guns… as Chang is most definitely to be Chicago bound unless something goes very wrong.
    Also the latest rumors say that the Northwest Territory at SFKK not open again for the 2010 season, even with Chang’s removal, due to a lack of a budget to repair and reopen it. They also tell us that the corporate office has confirmed to local management that Twisted Twins will likely never run again as well. More on this as it comes in.

 

2010 - Not Much - Rumor - (8/17/09) I’ve been told not to expect much at the park in 2010, if anything at all. At most, look for a new kiddie ride or two or some new shows, but don’t look for any major new ride hardware.

 

2011 - Bonzai Beach (Waterpark Expansion) - Confirmed - (9/29/09) I’ve heard from a reader that Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom had placed a sign up on the construction wall around Chang promoting a new waterpark expansion called Bonzai Beach for 2011. You can see the sign in the forum at SFKK Online.
    (9/2/09) If you’ve read the rumor about Six Flags Great America getting Chang for their 2011 season, you may be wondering what’s in store for Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. As the rumor-mill has been suggesting for some time, the future of this park is not about new rides, but about new slides, and if things progress according to plan Chang’s place will be taken by a very large waterpark expansion.
    (8/17/09) While I’m not sure what exactly may be in store for SFKK in 2010… we’ve heard a rumor that the big waterpark expansion isn’t likely to happen until 2011, as part of the big Six Flags anniversary year. If the new rumor holds true, the expansion may be huge, possibly adding as many as 10 new attraction to the waterpark, including some kind of rumored new model attraction from Proslide that we haven’t seen yet. As you can imagine an expansion this size will need some space… and we’ve been told that the location may shock a few people when the time comes.
    (8/3/09) I’m working to track down some more details about if the Hurricane Harbor brand name may be coming to Kentucky Kingdom or not. As some have pointed out, it wasn’t that long ago that the waterpark already changed its name from Hurricane Bay to Splashwater Kingdom. Of course I’ve heard more than a few times over the past few years that the park’s future direction and expansion opportunities would be directly at the waterpark side of things and not at expanding the rides and theme park side of things. 
    (8/1/09) Screamscape sources indicate that a hurricane may be blowing towards the park... in the form of a huge expansion and possible rebranding of the waterpark into an official “Hurricane Harbor” attraction. I’m not sure if this is for 2010 or 2011 however... anyone know more?
    (7/31/09) A bad rumor has been running around the ‘net lately claiming that Kentucky Kingdom would add a Tony Hawk’s Big Spin coaster for the 2010 season. Screamscape sources however have confirmed to us that this is just not true. I’ve been told that something is planned for the park next year, but it’s not a coaster.
