Cannibal : NEW at Lagoon in 2015
silver2005 replied to TheBEASTunchained's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This looks mighty impressive for a coaster built in-house. -
I rode the Smurf's Enchanted Voyage in its final years. I was very young at the time and also wasn't a fan of dark rides (they frightened me), so I probably wasn't of the mindset to appreciate it. It took me a while to warm up to the Phantom as well, but once I did, it was a staple of every visit to the park.

1. In GCI I trust 2. No 3. 1989 I believe 4. Phantom's Theater by a mile

It's also putting KICentral at major risk as well, especially in this case where the site would be the source of the leak. Not too sure Don, Kings Island, or Cedar Fair (to name a few) would look too kindly at that.

Seriously. Don't. Say. Anything. Even if they're hints. You'll save yourself soooo much trouble.

I don't bother to think about the long term future of this park. It seems better to view this park on a year-by-year basis.

Changes to 2015 dining plans (Update: not happening)
silver2005 replied to malem's topic in Kings Island
Then again, I'm not sure we'd be seeing these sort of promotions at all in the Kinzel era. People gotta eat, right? -
If they're smart about it, they should have balls with UK and UL logos on them.

I also hope for the sake of the food department staff that this maintains some sort of consistency. -

Hey, at least those of us without the meal plans know when to eat and when not to. -
And there was much rejoicing.

It always impresses me how quickly rides, particularly coasters, go up. This went up a lot faster than I expected, especially for it being so tall and long. Then again, Carowinds doesn't have to put up with the type of weather the more northern parks like Cedar Point or Kings Island have to deal with.

At least on their Facebook page, they indeed state that opening day is April 25th. I think this business about their operating schedule is a testament to how much they're relying on social media. https://www.facebook.com/kentuckykingdom/photos/a.599973010036875.1073741827.150584424975738/906938196007020/?type=1&theater

I have phases of music I go through. I'll be stuck on one group or genre for a while and switch to another. Its a very random thing. My preferred genres are jazz of any type, classical of about any era (using classical to describe orchestral music is a very broad term), movie scores, classic rock, some alternative rock (I don't like it too hard, the likes of Alice in Chains and Metallica is as hard as I go), some R&B, a bit of Motown, good covers of songs, and some concert band literature. I also love to transpose music so I can play it on my saxophone. I'd be hard pressed to pick a specific group, composer, or artist as my favorite, but my favorite piece of music of all time is Spencer Davis Group's Gimme Some Lovin' (the original version, though, I also like the Blues Brothers' cover).

Also, Kentucky Kingdom, before and during its Six Flags' tenure, has advertised in the Cincinnati area before. I distinctly remember advertisements when they introduced Chang, Twisted Twins/Sisters, and Greezed Lightning.

Does Backlot Stunt Coaster still have the control panel from its days as Italian Job: Stunt Coaster?

Cedar Point dive coaster?
silver2005 replied to APE's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
I believe it would be advertised as a combination dropping tower/roller coaster. Dive machines have the holding brake at the top as well. IMO, if Cedar Point goes for another B&M, I was thinking a flying coaster would have come before a Dive Machine.
