I think Apollo's Chariot, Griffon, Montu, Raptor, Wildfire, and Dominator are all smoother than Diamondback. These coasters are also a lot older than Diamondback. The problem with Diamondback, I think, is with how the park maintains it.I think the two rattling areas on Diamondback are the only topics YoungStud and I actually agreed on.

It causes jostling in the trains and it's caused me to get headaches.

Oh gosh. At :10, I hear a rattle like is heard on Diamondback. I HATE those parts. Please tell me that won't be felt on Banshee.

I'll admit I've made my jabs at BB1, but I don't think you speak for the community. While I find the majority of BB1's posts to be ambiguous, I still think that he adds some meaningful discussion to the community. To say that "not many people here like him" is not the right thing to say; I think you could have handled the situation better.Let's be civil, here. Everyone will enjoy this site better if we follow the rules and act like human beings.

^Portions of the parking lot have actually been receiving attention over the offseason. I think preferred, employee and handicapped lots have been repaved, and probably some patch work in the other sections as well.

I think the biggest issue with this new show is the added anticippointment factor. Many people here were getting hyped up for a huge reveal of the Action Zone circle, but then they were let down by the news.

I don't know why there's a big fuss over bathrooms. All the bathrooms I've ever been in at Kings Island have always been clean.

I would love a Top Spin or a great set of Flying Scooters, but I want to ride Banshee before thinking of a new ride.

Like Boomerang Bay? In no way am I a fan boy about Boomerang Bay. Sure, I like Boomerang Bay, I may allude to it, but do I get all "<caps>hey buddy, you can't say that, you're stupid!</caps>". That's just stupid. I don't disown other's ideas, I embrace them and look at their stand point. I don't go all "YoungStud" on people, I just use BB occasionally for reference, and I like it. Shall I call everyone else who is an enthusiast, a fan boy now under your logic? No, that's stupid, that is almost being worse than a fan boy. I like BB, but at the same time, I like SC too. Which, I guess you didn't know that I like SC as well, so wouldn't that make me not a fan boy anyways? Look at the context, and look at some of my posts, I am in no way a fan boy, I am an enthusiast, something I am proud to be. BB1, an enthusiast of the waterpark at Kings Island, nothing more, nothing less. I can never understand anything you say, BB1. You jump around topics and contradict yourself so much, it's almost as if you're trying to leave your opinions as ambiguous as possible. " '<caps>hey buddy, you can't say that, you're stupid!</caps>'. That's just stupid. I don't disown other's ideas." And then... "Shall I call everyone else who is an enthusiast, a fan boy now under your logic? No, that's stupid." Not to mention you allude to Boomerang Bay more than just "occasionally."

Did you also mention how humble you are?

And they speak Castellano in Murcia.

This sounds like QTV. I know I shouldn't judge it from day one, but I HATE these kinds of things. Even the music in the park is too much. I just want to talk to people, not listen to advertisements and quizzes and whatever else is offered.

Please. Anything but QTV.

I'd rather know what an Amercan is. And of course I'm beaten with a more clever pun.

You might be thinking of Zephyr.

Ignorance is bliss. 'Nuff said.

^THIS. I love Shake, Rattle & Roll, Scrambler, Monster, and Zephyr, but the park definitely needs more rides like these.

If you say your scary lawn is better than Haunt, why do you bother going to Haunt at all?

I miss the Flying Eagles just as much as anyone, but I'm actually really impressed that the former GM was respected enough that he got to pick up our ride and bring it down to Carowinds with him. It sounds so cool to have that much power! But actually though, getting ours back and replacing them with another set at Carowinds is highly improbable. CF would probably give us a modern interpretation of the Flying Eagles rather than our original set. I really want the originals return, though!

I don't know the last time you've been to the park, APE, but that smoking section has been moved off of the path next to the restrooms. That move has helped so much.

I'm off school for conferences tomorrow, so I get to sleep in! We also had a half day today, which was awesome as usual.

Where else could they have put the smoking area? There's not a ton of room anywhere else in that part of Coney Mall, whereas there are already two smoking areas near the center of Action Zone already. I think AZ is good with the number of smoking areas it currently has.

I seriously doubt that Kings Island would put a smoking area in the middle of the midway, especially when there are already several in the area as is.

^I assure you, there have been FAR worse thread hijacks than this one. As for KIC, most everything here is said in jest. If there's ever a question about a post's mood, you can always ask or just dismiss it as sarcasm. Sarcasm is very hard to pick up on a forum board anyways, so I can understand how messages can be misconstrued.

As I understand it, maintenance of special fx is up to the park's discretion. I don't think Ouimet would make a huge difference if maintenance doesn't care.
