I was in eighth grade before I ever rode any coasters, and that was when I rode Gemini at Cedar Point. I was terrified of heights and my one friend used this to get me on it...He told me that Gemini was only 50 ft tall...so I got on. I quickly realized that my friend had conned me into ridding it and was fit to strangle him, but by the time we had pulled into the station I wanted to ride it again and again. Ever since I have been in love with coasters.
Not saying that you wouldn't have checked, but I know I have forgotten about the spam folder a few times. Make sure it was not put placed in there by accident.
Hey, Flying Turns has been under construction longer than Hard Rock Park was open, so it's got that going for it, which is nice.
Oh I know, I was just saying that it deserves to be higher on the list than 8th, sorry I wasn't being clear.
You know it's been a slow year when a relocated coaster is number 9 on a blogger's top 9 new roller coasters for 2009, and Flying Turns at Knobles is only 8th, and a coaster that no one really knows anything about (except that it goes really fast) is 5th. Lets just wait until the Golden Ticket comes.
I like the sign, it looks fangtastic!
But it does seem to be missing something because there is alot of unused space. As the picture of Maverick's sign showed, the logo was smaller but there was also the picks to use up some of the space. I have a feeling the sign may not be fully completed just yet.
Amazing find! I am fairly new to Kings Island, visited a couple of times but never really knew much about it. This year with Diamondback I have gotten to know a lot about the history of Kings Island, and this video helped that much more to learn about the history. Thank you for posting it.
After looking at the photos on the website, the roostertails start out small, but by the time the train pulls out of the splashdown those things are HUGE!
