I think I might like to go to Kennywood and see just what a "lunch" coaster is. I've never heard of one of those.

Apparently, he doesn't mind sharing the details of why he rides, and how he has racked up so many rides. http://www.journal-news.com/entertainment/kings-island/retired-minister-spends-estimated-6-3-days-on-kings-island-coaster-847356.html However, I think part of The Journal News' reporting is wrong, because wasn't Coasting for Kids last week?

I get what you are saying, it makes sense to me. I guess I never really thought about how they changed the color of the trains. It was probably easier to paint them than to take them apart and re-assemble them by color, or maybe it matters which order the cars go in so they just couldn't do that.

Glad to hear you had a great time! Hour lines for a Saturday at CP sound kind of light! I don't get water out of the machines because they will give you a cup of ice water for free at most of the stands. I've never checked out any of the haunted houses in the area. Perhaps I should do that sometime!

Leave my performers alone! :-) After reading this, a certain viral video comes to mind... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZAr9E8i3ng Ogrmac, who is just funnin', and knows that BavarianBeetle meant no ill will toward anyone, especially the performer, with his comment.

Here's a picture I have from May... You can clearly see there has been a significant amount of work going on back there since then.

Very nice TR! Yes, they still have the kiddie whip at KI. On our trip to Dorney earlier this summer, I was also very impressed with the atmosphere of the park. The lack of long lines also helped! I highly recommend a trip to Dorney for anyone who is able. I like to think of it as "Cedar Fair's best kept secret."

It did seem very sad. It was odd walking beside it without the fountains going.

No wonder the park was empty today... Ogrmac, who didn't see any rabid animals at SFA today.

Actually, if you go to Dorney Park, you will find the organ on their carousel to be quite operational...

Awesome trip report, as always! Glad you had a great time. I cannot wait until June when I get to go!!!

Lets do it!!! lol lets go relive 15 years ago... o dear gawd... Is it bad that i'm so totally in for this?! Seriously, I am SO in for this. I still listen to their Christmas album every year during the holiday season. I say we get a group of us together and go!!!

AWESOME!!! I may just have to go to this!

Awesome video!! I liked your choices of music, especially Banana Phone... except now I have it stuck in my head.

Very nice pics... except for the ones of your car. Ouch! Glad you weren't hurt. Why was that guy backing up in the drive thru anyways?

At least your car died while you were still within pushing distance. I'm glad you made it! It was an epic day for sure!

Great PTR! I especially love all the group pics of you guys! Looks like you all had a good time!!

Amazing trip report. Sounds like you guys had an amazing time.

I was going to say pick Sunday and Monday, but the hour of ERT, plus Diamondback at midnight makes Saturday a good option too. Crowds are much lighter on Sunday than on Saturday though. Couldn't tell you what they look like on Mondays though, cause I am always at work!

VERY awesome pictures! No way would I get into water with crocodiles! Looks like you had a fantastic time!

You are very welcome! Now go be extra scary! LOL!

Hey Jasper! Good luck!

I had to go with KI's coasters on this one since I have never been to HW, but judging by the poll results, I need to go to HW sometime!
