I could do the Jungle racer all day, I love that thing. Also on Bakuli the more and or bigger people you ride with the faster you will go. I have a couple amazing rides on that slide, and some real slow ones too.

Being a member of a credit union I gets lots of great discounts at various places.

According to the press release it does not have OSTRs. "Four passenger open design trains with overhead lap bars but no over-the-shoulder harnesses" http://www.intimidator305.com/public/ride/statistics.cfm

None of the crews at Kings Island have really stood out to me. Back in May when I went to Cedar Point the Maverick crew was full of it, especially when going over the loose article policy, and talking about how a girl tried to take a watermelon onto the ride.

I think its a great idea myself, the slide looks like it will really help spread some people out in Splashin Safari. I also think they really need the two lazy river that they do have. Anytime its warm, the place is packed, I could not imagine what it would look like if there was only one lazy river still! I am sure pilgrims plunge will get all its kinks worked out, it is an intamin, hopefully it does not take several years like top thrill. I am excited to hit up the new ride next year, I am also looking forward to some nice cool fall Voyage rides.

The legend has been running really good all year. The laterals seem like they have been extra strong! Did you get any fudge? I always have to get a couple of blocks.

Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

I have been lucky, every time I have gone to Cedar Point, it was like Kings Island on Tuesday evening of this week empty. But I go the week after memorial day most of the time. I also like Diamondback better than millennium.

I love the skyline shots you got of Louisville. We have a lot of great concerts, and events out at the park right on the river by the bridges, it always makes for some good pictures on a nice day. It looks crowded at Holiday World, I have never been there when the lower queue house was open for the Voyage, but I usually never go in July. I live 15 minutes away from SFKK, but I haven't been in years, the place just does not do anything for me. It looked really good in your pictures. It almost makes me want to check it out again. Does anybody remember when the water park used to have the big kahuna waves?

Holiday world has some bicycle parking too. I don't live to far from sfkk but have never road my bike. But I have been thinking about taking an epic ride to Holiday world from Louisville (94 miles), ride all day one day, camp at Lake Rudolph that night, spend the next day at the world, camp then ride home the next day.

I have also been attacked by a red winged black bird several times. They get pretty aggressive when they have babies in the nest. One got me real good getting on power tower this year.

Donors who participate in an American Red Cross blood drive at Churchill Downs (Louisville KY)Tuesday through Thursday will receive free chicken meals from Stoker's Broaster Chicken and tickets for admission to King's Island Amusement Park in Cincinnati. http://www.courier-journal.com/article/200...ve+at+Churchill

If you happen to be in Louisville this is a pretty good exhibit at the Frazier museum. http://www.fromyourmemory.com/

There are two Culvers in Louisville. Also another one in Indiana, on the way to holiday world. I love some Culvers, its my favorite fast food burger and fries.

For the hot/ruff concrete at water parks I always where a pair of Fivefinger shoes, I have the sprint model, shown below. I try to wear them a couple of hour a week, and just walk in them go to the store and do everyday stuff, it really helps make you ankles stronger, and all the little muscles in your feet. They are just like being barefoot, just protected. They are great for the lake too. http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/

I like the Awesome Aussie Twister, its fun to race your friends. It splashes you in the face pretty good so you have to be prepared for that.

The bell was not ringing when i was there either. Also the lights where on in all of the Voyages tunnel all day. It looked like the rope had broke up in that tube, you can still see some rope hanging down from the bell. The Legend was running really really good, compared to last year, it really surprised me how fast it seemed to be going.

Whats wrong with the back seat of Maverick?

My best trip to Cedar Point was on a rainy day, after the rain cleared up we went back to an empty park. I went the couple of days after memorial day. Maverick was a walk on, they were sending trains out with empty middle seats, Millennium's line was so short, they had the handicap gate open in the station so you did not have to walk around. I started graying out a bit after 5 rides in a row on old milly. I do think the rain policy is a bit much myself, but what can you do other than fill out a comment card at the park op office.

Sounds like you had a great time. I was supposed to go tomorrow but, i went yesterday instead. It was very hot. It was my first trip of the year, the Legend seemed to be running a lot faster and smoother than previous years, it was really forceful in the back seat, it was incredible. The pilgrims plunge was down the first part of the day also, the ride did not do much for me, but a lot of people seemed to really enjoy it. The Voyage was running really good too, with really short lines most of the day, the only time it was longer than 5 minute wait was after the water park closed. It also seems to run a lot faster as the day goes on. I end up with about 15 rides that day, and with the heat it was about all I could take, the heat index was over 100, good thing for the free Gatorade. We spent most of our day in the water park to keep cool, I love the Jungle racer I could do that all day. Also with Bakuli the more and heavier people you have on your raft the better your ride will be.

I would say Fathers day tends to be less busy from what I have seen.

Here is a fun video of the rubiks cube. I found it a while back when I was trying to solve the cube, a friend of mine is always playing with one, he even has the 8x8 one, now that one is hard!

I love the gobbler getaway, I take many laps on it. Also the I am the master at the Jungle Racer, I do not think I have every had anyone beat me on that thing, its a blast! Also with Bakuli the more weight you have on that thing the better, last year I had a ride with 3 others and we were really close to the weight limit on it, it is probably the best water park ride I have ever had, it was very fast, and completely disorientating. The Legend is an outstanding ride, the back seat on the first drop has amazing airtime with a strong lateral pull to it. I have gone on many Sundays, and the crowds are much better than Saturday, either way the earlier in June the better, or Fathers day weekend it tends to be a little lighter those days. Another good thing is they do not have a ridiculous rain policy they will run the coasters in a heavy downpour, as long as there is no lightning in the area

If you all go during the week, and do not try to ride Raven first thing in the morning you should not have to wait more than a couple of cycles for any ride. Now in the water park the lines tend to get be about around 30ish minutes for the big slides like bakuli. After riding the Voyage The Beast is a snooze fest for me! All the food in Holiday World is good, and very inexpensive, check out there web page to find the stuff you might like. Also make sure and get a couple blocks of fudge, they have all kinds, and is some of the best I have ever had.

You can get to the same page through L&N main page, there is a Kings Island box half way down on the right. The link is working for me, hope this helps.
