    Vortex

    So for that reason I should not be so cavalier about not buckling up on Magnum??
  2. My recommendation is to do all your KI "stalking" during the winter when the trees are bare and during a weekday...I was surprised to see how close some houses and areas are to the park!!
  3. I wasn't talking post season 2005?? I was talking summer of 2005 SOB was mostly open...it was at least every day I went!!
  4. The one's I've heard so far are Cincinnati Rush, Cave Spin or Cave Top Spin, Invertigo, and Power Tower
  5. My memory is foggy, but didn't it run very rough, but nevertheless uninterrupted, in 2005??
  6. The amount of people this summer who still didn't know that SOB didn't have the loop anymore *WHILE ACTUALLY STANDING IN LINE TO RIDE!!! was mind-boggling!! I kind of wish I could have ridden with someone who thought the loop was still there, and what their reaction was when they flew somewhat quickly passed the area of the former loop...
  7. Forgive me if this has been posted about in another thread, and if so, then go ahead and close my topic, but I would have thought this would have been a semi-big deal!? If for any reason, because it seems to show what future Villian has with CF, or lack thereof!! I was kind of hoping maybe KI would at least get Villian (yeah, the El Dorado flat will be good), but not as good as KD getting Dominator....b*stards!! But at least I can (potentially) look forward to an even better SOB ride in 08 when my 45 year-old dad will finally be making it to KI for the first time since 01 (which obviously he hated SOB then!) And I'll also continue to look forward to KI's 276' B&M hyper dive-machine coming in 09 to Rivertown...

    Hot Fall

    If you want a waterpark, go to Holiday World as their's is open until the end of September!!....global warming, baby! It's FAANNNN-TASTIC!!
  9. My girlfriend actually knows someone whose relative works for CF (convoluted and very Kevin Bacon-6 degrees I know), BUT.... This person told my girlfriend (since we're going to Knott's soon) that the anywhere park processing won't be happening until 2008...so maybe in 2007 KI is only processing KI Platinum Passes?? I don't know, and don't really care that much anymore either since it doesn't apply to me, but it does sort of makes sense I guess....unfortunately, with my "little" X rehabbing soon, we've moved our trip up to October, so I'll be forced to process next spring with no doubt a billion other people!
  10. How busy was it on your Saturday?? Based on your report it sounds very busy (although not ludacris), but with Maverick down and MF having delays that could have bearing... I have heard Sundays are a lot less crowded from people on PointBuzz...at this point, I can't decide if I wanna do just Saturday for the full day? Or do part of Saturday and part of Sunday...does anyone know if a one day ticket can be upgraded to the two day while in the park? (the people I'm going with don't have Maxx Passes....losers!!)
  11. For me, the true test will be getting my Maverick ERT next May with a CP Platinum Pass processed at KBF!! But I'm getting ahead of myself...I'm still not 100% convinced Knott's will even have the freakin PP cards come January!
  12. ^^Thank God!!! So on a related note, is KI really processing their 08 passes in 07!? Because CP is making clear NO processing will be happening this year!!
  13. I refuse....the "complexity and unfairness" is bull crap....however, for what it's worth, people on PointBuzz were consoling me that I should still get Point Perks even if I get my Platinum Pass processed at Knott's...so for now, back to sort of liking CF if true.
  14. Ok, that even makes less sense!!! It's still early and things are still changing, so I'll remain cautiously optimistic, but that's complete BS if true!! I know HATE you Cedar UNfair!!
  15. Well, if I buy my Platinum Pass from Cedar Point and I get it processed at another park....I'll have Point Perks associated with my Pass...TRUST ME!! Otherwise, Cedar Fair...I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU!!! It was scary reading this on the CF's website: For instance, even if you purchase your 2008 Platinum Pass at Cedar Point this fall, if you’re visiting Knott’s in January, you may redeem your certificate at Knott’s in January Since that will be my exact situation now! (I'm making my girlfriend buy my Platinum Pass for my birthday in early November). So again Cedar Fair...thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! And PLEASE don't change this policy cuz my girlfriend and I are booking our LA plane tickets for New Year's THIS weekend! (also they better have Season Pass cards stocked as I could picture a problem with that!) But I'll be sure to show ya'll our hottness processed 08 Platinum Pass in January!
  16. In regards to that old queue?? Don't remind me of when I was 11 and waited 3 and half hours to ride that back in 1993!!!
  17. Two monster questions still not addressed.... 1. Do you HAVE to get your season pass processed at the same park you bought it online from? (i.e. can I buy a CP Platinum Pass online, but get that processed at KI?) The guy on the CP fansite said this has still not been determined fully or final yet. 2. Will you ONLY get the park perks for the specific park that your Platinum Pass is based?? While it appears the answer to this is increasingly yes, until I see every CF park website stating this and making it clear, it's still not 100% confirmed yet! Finally, it says KI Platinum Pass processing won't start until Sunday, Sept. 23rd, but does anyone know when CP will start processing their 08 passes?
  18. In addition, for as beautiful as the weather was that Sunday, November 6th (sunny and like 50-60's)....that Sunday wasn't THAT busy!! I'm pretty sure the weather on that Saturday was only good half the day, and I had to work that day at the Fields-Ertel Best Buy anyway!! So I dunno how busy Saturday was??
  19. So I can expect multiple re-rides on Plankton's Plunge, right!? My guess for CP is that they're not located in an immediate enough urban area (being Sandusky), while WOF, Caro, and KI are...and as for CW, my guess is cold weather on that one....
  20. I'd say it's safe to assume that if you have a KI Platinum Pass that you'll get KI Gold Pass perks!! The question is....is that where the perks end, period!? Or do you get any other perks for any other parks?! Maybe since this year (unlike last year) the Platinum Pass price is uniform across all parks, there's admisssion to all parks (including water), and free parking everywhere!! So might this result in some uniform perks as well?? As everyone knows if you had a 2007 KI Maxx Pass you got early entry into CP (like a CP Joe Cool person), and while the general assumption has been that will end in 2008....the jury is STILL sort of out on this one as that being confirmed, official, final, and "Kinzel gospel"!!
  21. Well, I don't care if I have to go up to that Tony dude himself (the CP PR guy) and shake him!! Before buying my Platinum Pass I *WILL* know how the park perks are working...Interpreter said an answer may be known soon, so I'll wait a little to see what (if anything) develops from that.
  22. ^^Ok, well, hopefully a decision will be made soon!! Because as it stands now, if I can get Joe Cool and KI Gold with a Knott's Platinum Pass!! that's what I'm doing...otherwise, I'll be forced either to get a CP or KI based one...haven't decided on which park perks I want yet.
  23. Well, if that's true then that answers that....however, can you ONLY get your KI Platinum Pass processed when KI is open?
  24. But are you sure?? What about this!! Cedar Fair Platinum Pass Benefits: Grants you access to all Cedar Fair properties, both dry parks and waterparks excluding Castaway Bay and Star Trek: The Experience. This grants you season long parking at all Cedar Fair properties as well as platinum benefits at all Cedar Fair parks where offered. So wouldn't KI's Gold Pass perks be considered part of the "platinum benefits at all Cedar Fair parks"?? And if not, then why not? Because I'm pretty sure on PointBuzz.com people were saying that all Platinum Pass members would now also be Joe Cool!?
