i was wondering that myself

mine would have to be slingshot. I still have not got up the nerve to do that one yet

that looks like it would've been a fun little ride.

After a very busy day, my sister and I decided to head down to KI for Haunt for her first time. We left town around 8 PM and made it into the parking lot around 8:50. After purchasing her ticket, which surprised me being only $35, we headed into the park. The first thing I noticed was the lack of roamers, during our whole trip I only saw 3 around the whole park. Anyways, back to the report. Since this was her first time to Haunt and her first visit to KI in over 7 years, we headed for a smaller ride first, Adventure Express. I we approached the entrance I saw the line. This is the only time I have ever waited more than 5 minutes for AE. After about a 15 minute wait, we sat down in 4-2. After the ride, she had to have a cigarette break, so we headed over to the smoking area right outside of the Festhaus and Delirium. We then headed to Flight Deck, which I didn't even know if it would be running. Boy, was I surprised. Another 15 minute wait and we boarded 2-1 since my sister refused to get into the front row. Saw Giga and Tom as they we heading out on the train before us, then it was our turn. After a close call, we were able to get my sister's seatbelt buckled and we were on our way. Even though she said she enjoyed the ride, the screaming she let out the whole time made me believe otherwise. Since before we arrived at the park I agreed to do a few haunts with her, we headed to one she wanted to do, Cemetery Drive. I was really dissappointed in this haunt. There was only 1 or 2 good scares during the whole thing. I then suggested we go over to Death Row, which is one I'd never gone through before, nor will I probably ever again. If it wasn't for the couple in front of my sis and I, we probably would've taken an hour to go through. We headed over to Vortex next. When we arrived at the park, the line was back past the Juke Box Diner, but since it was now down to the stairs, we decided to wait. After about 20 minutes, we headed for seat 5-1, as I always do. After another very close call with the seatbelt, my sister got buckled in and we were on our way. This was my first ever night ride on Vortex, and I can say that I enjoyed it. I also got my first on-ride photo from Vortex as well. At this time, it was around 12:40, and I wanted to get a Beast ride in, we headed over to Rivertown. Since my sister had a headache from Vortex, she decided to wait in line with me and just cross over to the exit when we got up to the platform. Upon entering the line, it was listed as a 45 minute wait. So, we waited, and I shot some pictures of the SOB tombstone and other props, which I thought were hilarious. We when got to the station switchbacks, I started talking with a gentleman, and turns out he was a fellow KIC'er as well. So PKISecurity and I were talking about the fact that they had the last car of the train blocked off, which is what we were both planning to ride. Right before we exited the switchbacks to pick our seat, a group of 3 teenage girls decided to jump from farther back in the switchbacks right to the platform. My sister said something to them, and the moment they started running their mouths, I knew they were had. My sisters yelled out " Linejumpers" or something of the nature, and after another group confirmed it, they were escorted out of the line by security. Made my day . When it was time for me to ride, i boarded 5-2, on the 2nd to last train of the night. It was one of the best night rides I've had. Probably due to the fact I rode alone in my row. At this point, it was 1:45 or so, and the park was deserted. It was really eerie walking up to the front of the park. We stopped at the McDonalds right outside KI and waited a good 30 minutes in the drive thru, but it was worth it. Overall, a fun time at Haunt, and I hope to make it back next week. Final Tally AE-1 FD-1 Vortex-1 Beast-1 Cemetery Drive-1 Death Row-1 I will have pictures up once I get the memory card from my sister..

I started my day arriving at the park around 11 AM. I made my over to The Beast and rode 6-2 as I usually do. I then headed to Diamondback and get in line for row 15. Right before I was about to load the train there was a problem and the ride started running test runs. After waiting around 30 minutes and it still not being open, I decided to head back to Beast and as I walked under the drop of DB they were loading passengers. But I continued on my way to Beast and rode 6-2 again. I then headed over to DB and try again. I got Row 12 and loved my first DB ride in 3 months. I made my way to the other side of the park and rode Racer 5-2 and Adventure Express 1-2. At this time is was about 1:20 so I headed over to the Festhaus. I sat for a few minutes to cool off and noticed a group of KIC'ers at a table. So I decided I would go over and I watched the WindSeeker announcement with my fellow coaster lovers. After the announcement, I decided to go have some more coaster time. I rode Adventure Express again as well as another Beast ride in 1-1. Went to Vortex and rode 1-1 there as well. After this I wasn't feeling so well so I laid off the coasters and went up the tower to look around. I still wasn't feeling 100% when I came down to I headed to KI&MVRR and took a lap. I felt like I was back to my normal self so I headed back to Beast and rode 3-2 and Diamondback Row 6. I starting feeling icky again so I took another lap on KI&MVRR to calm myself. Took one last lap on The Beast in 6-2, then headed to BLSC Row 1 and Adventure Express 3-2. It was nearing 6:30 and my ride was supposed to meet me at the passenger drop off at 7 so I headed out of the park. I waited, and waited, and waited some more........Finally headed home at 8:30.. Final 8/24/10 Ride Count Beast-5 DB-2 AE-3 KI&MVRR-2 Vortex-1 Racer-1 ET-1 BLSC-1

I've met quite a few people because of KIC. Even though I haven't seen them lately I can't wait to have another meet-up. The last one I attended was one of the best days I ever had at KI

When I was 12, my cousin literally dragged me onto King Cobra. Looking back, I'm glad she did because that sparked my love of coasters.

The trains have arrived for Intimidator 305 http://www.intimidator305.com/public/latest/blog/ http://www.intimidator305.com/public/latest/gallery/

I really like that idea. I'll probably end up doing that.

In one of my college courses this quarter, I am going to write a paper on the "Effects of the Recession on the Amusement Park Industry". Does anyone know of any good sites and sources I can use?

I can usually get to the park in 40-45 minutes. 30 if I'm in a hurry

It was topped around 1 last night. I was watching the webcam til about 2 The temp support is the small one on the left side of the lift

Finally got photobucket to upload this. My favorite picture and final picture of 2009

This is my second favorite pic I took this year. Took it on 11-1.

Cool. I was in 4-1. It was the best ride The Beast has given me all year.

I was also on the last public train on The Beast. I was in 6-2

Adventure Express

The only ride that has ever made me sick was Avatar.

KI 14 visits and CP 1 visit

TTD still scares me. Theres just something about that launch I don't like

My final tally is 61

You're not the only one. I can't wait until spring so I can ride the new monsters down south.

I'll have to try that as well. I'm becoming a tight fit.
