Long time lurker here. Based on the conversation here, this is my current guess. I have no idea if the scale is accurate.

If there is one thing I have learned from my ventures to Florida, it's this: Never go into the lagoons during or after the evening.

Perhaps I'm a minority here, but I've learned how to "ride" the coaster over the years. At a young age I would often tense up while riding it, but as time has wore on I've been able to anticipate and just go with the flow. I don't fight back while riding, if that makes sense... I haven't considered The Beast to be so rough it's not enjoyable. It's all part of the experience.

I was looking over the unlighted fountains last night at about 9:30. I miss seeing the lights in the fountains, the tower floodlit (in its original pattern), and all the rooftop lights (now blocked by the broad leaf trees)... and hearing the symphony music.... and so on, and so forth.
You aren't alone in this sentiment TB. There was just something magical about it at night, after a long hot day with the coasters. Something I'll cherish for the rest of my life!

We learn something every day don't we?

Just saw this article on CNN. Looks like the news is making waves. Just wow...

Hello, i just joined, but have been reading through these pages for some time. What if it is a flume ride, which would explain the select trees being cut down, in what appears to be straight lines, could explain the rumors of rfylcb going away, and could possibly explain why the reservoir WWC has been drained (preparations for another ride using water from the same reservoir)

FedEx just commented on the plane photo on Instagram, asking if they could post it on there account. Of course I said yes!

Awesome Vortex! Ah the power of social media. So many people underestimate the waves it can generate.

My niece always screams as high of a pitch as possible. Needless to say: I hear that, and not much of anything else afterwards...

Opening day was a miserable mess for me, and it was my fault.
My wife had her gallbladder removed on Thursday, she was told that she needed to get up and walk around by the weekend. With the nice weather we decided to go to Kings Island and let our 2 1/2 year old ride some things and get some food. I knew it would be packed with the weather being as nice as it was but when I checked at 11:30 with some friends and looked at the webcams it didn't look terrible. When we got to the park I guess is when everyone arrived. I added the meal plan to our passes. My son didn't eat much of a lunch and we were there during which time he typically naps. Missing a nap usually isn't a huge deal for him but with the lack of food it made him irrational. He threw a tantrum the entire time. I tried to snap him out of it with rides but only managed to get him on one. We decided to get food and every place had at least a half our wait. We went to the Festhaus since it has the biggest area to deal with. Lines were stupid long and my son was getting annoyed with the show ( I don't blame him). We decided to pack it in and leave sometime between 2 and 3. During the battle with my son at the Festhaus I lost my pass (yay I get to pay a $15 replacement fee). I am sure our next visit will go much better and maybe this time I will be able to actually use the food plan.
I will be taking them up first thing in the morning after breakfast next time to avoid these issues with my son. My wife and 5 month old daughter (her name is Millie, can you guess why?) had a good time walking around so that was good.
Sorry to hear that APE! Yeah I've traditionally avoided opening days due to the madness. Sometimes it's fun to just walk around and take pictures though. I'm hoping to get out to the park sometime in the next month or so. I've missed it all!

All this talk about wanting KI to get an RMC. Careful, you might just get what youre wishing for. Twisted Racer? Iron Beast anybody?
Yup. That's why I've been hesitant about them... Stay away from my beloved woodies RMC!

These articles have been incredible to read. The past few weeks I have been struck by a very strong case of illness. The silver lining was I had more time to read your stuff bkroz. So thanks for helping me get through my tough times by clearing my mind!

But honestly B&M's do become boring when you keep getting them. Look at CP, They have 4, and two of them are within the last 6 years, and the same goes for Kings Island.
I wouldn't call Banshee boring... but that's just me.

Brian Krosnick. Hm. Sounds like a great guy. Handsome, too!
I thought the name was familiar! Hahaha! It was a very nice read!
And yes, as you put it, that truly was a perfect storm. And a great lesson to be learned for the future of other parks. Your writing was definitely worth it!

I stumbled on this very interesting article on Geauga Lake by Brian Krosnick. Kinda makes me wonder about a particular park in Southern Indiana that once was a family park and is now starting to evolve...
Enjoy!

It is important to remember the media reads here and quotes here.
Don't embarrass yourself with a sarcastic comment that gets repeated as gospel...
This should be stickied... Or become our banner. For real!

And the 8 or so threads this user has started on the roller coaster subreddit about the exact same topics (without ever participating in the threads, I might add!).

in Kings Island

Looks like they were correct. We had a lot of fallen trees and moderate damage all over the place in Indiana. The storm approached my area just as I left to go to work... what a drive that was, haha... At least I got my storm chasing fix in! Hope everybody is okay!
