WARNING:Peanuts Bashing Alert That's something that I have found funny in the past but have never bothered to mention. I have read on here several times about how they think that it is good that Nick is leaving because a lot of the characters are not "good for the kids"...they are to inane and stupid. (First off let me remind everyone, I do like The Peanuts a LOT...I just don't think they are still current enough for the kids.) Have you ever stepped back and examined the personalities of the "main" Peanuts characters? I have found that if they were real people I personally would not like to hang out with too many of them. Here is what I mean: Charlie Brown...could you really hang out with such a depressing person, he seems to just love to share his gloom. (Sadly, according to a recent biography of Charles Schultz he was pretty much Charlie Brown.) Could you really hang out with a piece of swiss cheese with eyes, I'll take the dressing human being, jmo Mind you, I have no idea what a dressing human being is, but I guess I should stop typing so fast

When I was a kid the last reason I went to an amusement park was to meet characters, I wasn't so stupid to not know that it was just an average Joe dressed up in a Halloween costume, never paid attention to any of that stuff, it was all about rides, food and games. But hey I guess that was just me.

So you quizzed the people standing outside the queue line that refused to ride due to the elephant? That is what I call a multi-tasking effort for a employee that obviously knows it all! I'd say that the thousand people that ride every hour outnumber those that refuse to ride because the elephant is on. I do, but those are rare during the Summer. If it has a hill, it's supposed to get you wet. Enchanted Voyage didn't have a hill, did it? Ah, but I didn't say the point of a hill is not to get you wet, I said water ride, that was in response to the idea that someone said the point of a water ride is to get you wet, which is not always true, a hill may get you wet, probably not drenched, but it's always a risk, but even if that is the purpose of the hill that has nothing to do with the elephant which is much more annoying than the splash that a hill will give you.

The point of a water ride is not to get you wet, The point of a water ride is to take a ride in a boat. In the old days there were many water rides that did not get you wet, example a: The Enchanted Voyage. All you have to do is watch the ride to see that the majority of guests who ride are annoyed by the elephant. I've found that on days where the elephant is off the ride is much more crowded. As a kid water rides were my favorite rides, not because I had dreams of getting soaked, but because I enjoyed a nice boat ride. If you want to get soaked there is White Water Canyon or an entire water park, Kings Island is terribly lacking in peaceful family rides like the skyride, Antique Cars and Paddle Wheel Excursion at CP, take away the elephant and this is one of them

That's because that is unfortunately what they turned it into. I don't go to boomerang bay, but I usually ride the train when I go, but ever since Boomerang Bay, it's only a shell of it's former self, what little decor they have is in bad shape, and there is not much there, not to mention having to sit and wait at the depot for the water park. I had hoped Cedar Fair would revamp the train, as popular as the ride is at Cedar Point, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen

I wanted so much to go there and ride Flying Dutchman as I have not rode that since I was a little kid and great memories of it, I had planned on going there last year, until I decided to take my PA amusement park trip, so I was thinking about this year, Oh well, I waited a little too long

I wouldn't want to miss Idlewild on the PA trip

The Whip

It's a contest to see what coaster will be running first: Flying Turns at Knoebel's or The Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake My money is on the Blue Streak

I say it has to be a dark ride! of course what I say means nothing, but I'll say it anyway because I love dark rides, though they are getting hard to find.

Kings Island - 12 Conneaut Lake Park - 1 Delgrosso's Park - 1 Lakemont Park - 1 Idlewild Park - 1 Knoebel's Park - 1 Kennywood Park - 1 Stricker's Grove - 1 Coney Island - 1 Cedar Point - 2

The restraints always knock my head and neck and give me a headache, though I like it, I usually avoid it. I would love to see a full size suspended coaster like Raptor come to KI

I was on the train right in front of you, stuck on the first break run after the water. I was wondering if they had the capability of using the intercom system to let you know what was going on. I was glad everything got rolling again, it was 30 minutes until closing and this was my last trip of the season. It may have happened twice, it was more like an hour before closing, but I did notice about 20 minutes after I got off that they were running an empty train, so it have happened againg.

Afraid I don't know what MCBR stands for

Went on it again today, and this there was no water in the boat and I didn't get a drop

The train I was on, after the turnaround, the breaks cam on too hard and the train stopped, we sat up there for 15 minutes, it was a nice view up there, I was hoping we would get to walk down the spiral stairs but finally it started back up

Which is still there, and called Casino. And it's one of the best trabant rides i've been on

Or the John Lennon song: You Don't Know what you got until you lose it No love loss for me though, Although it is the first ride I ever rode at Cedar Point back in '97 (I think it was), I last rode it about 5 years ago and when the cart hit the bottom, it just murdered my back

Perhaps if she had drank some hot coffee after she got off, she could've been awarded even more

Really, let's not get too sensitive people, My comments were not really complaints, just comments and an inquiry to whether it was a quirk or they had done something to make it splash more, I was wandering if others were getting drenched or it just happened to be a quirk with my boat, but no I really don't expect to get drenched when I've ridden hundreds of times and never have gotten drenched before, did I expect to get wet sure, did I expect to need a change of clothes no - but my comments were just about being shocked about it, I was not upset, like you said it is a water ride, but it is most unusual to get drenched on this one.

So you rode a water ride, and didn't expect to get wet? Really? No I didn't, when I have ridden this ride hundreds of times and never gotten drenched, only a sprinkle, or the elephant gets you a little wet, but this was a total drenching, I'm convinced it was a quirk, the ride would not be open in October if this was normal. Last Year's Haunt I rode it about 20 times and never got more than a sprinkle, so no I would not expect to have complete drenching, it is obviously a problem of that boat, it should be taken off, they should probably be able to figure this out when the inside of the boat was flooded with water.

Yeah, it must have been the water that was already in the boat that caused it, my clothes were so wet it looked like I jumped into a pool, and my socks were still wet when I got home from stepping into the boat, the attendant knew about the water in the boat, she said just keep your feet up on the sides, I probably should have asked for another boat, but wow that water was cold, I ride it all the time during October, but usually just get a sprinkle, I was quite shocked when I hit the water.

Today I rode the log flume, and in the 30 years I have been riding this I have never been drenched anything like this before. First of all I stepped into the boat which had about 3 inches of water inside, you could not get in without getting your feet absolutely soaked, then after the drop I got hit with a wave not much smaller than what I would get on Amazon Falls (or whatever it's currently called) I was absolutely soaked me from head to toe, I don't know if they have done something to give it more kick, or if it is a result of all the rain we've had lately, but on a fifty degree day, it did me in for the day, no way I was going to dry out, I considered buying sweat pants at the Emporium, but not for $45. I'm just wandering if they have done something to get you drenched on this ride or if this was just a quirk?

Isn't that kind of what Great Wolf Lodge serves as? Sure, it's not owned by KI, but it has a walking path there and a lot of people stay there while at KI. Yes, but that money isn't going into Cedar Fair's pockets
