Does shaggy still post?

KI is one of the best theme parks in the country, IMO. Why not have a living history on display.....at least I didnt bring back a topic thats about SOB.

They really should do this, have like toy models of all the old rides and a history.

How do you be one of the first persons to ride Banshee?

But its also tan when it comes back into station. I dont know just seems like it should be same color.

Does anybody know why the supports change color from yellow to tan? Was this intentional?

Hopefully the fog will be thick.

Its going to be really close to delerium, I can wait to ride delerium and whe it swings out you meet ppl from Banshee :-)

yes they are making progress

I was there Saturady and I must say the actors did a good job, I got a little scared when the woman with the snakes came after me

I would say jeans and hoodie, I was there last saturday and the hoodie came in handy when the sun went down. It wasnt crowded untill 6pm then the park was flooded with people. I got a locker and had my hoodie in it untill I needed it.

I kinda agree with you, I went to Kings Island for the first time in ten years this year and and almost every other weekend. I found that the end of year, Diamondback is the only one thats still thrilling. The Beast without trim on the first hill. AE just boring, Racer yawn, Delerium could be something if laster longer. Invertigo, Flight deck doesnt last long enough. Vortex and Flight of Fear offer a little thrill, Firehawk is only good in back and in the loop. I think the prob is too much exposure. I did get well use out of my season passes and hopefull Cedar Point next year will change that, if not I prob will quit going as much.

I bought the Platinum pass, used it for my one free time this year. I had Reg season pass that ran out on Sept 2. I also had free parking on it (40 dollars). I thought I could use it to park then make my Platinum pass. Didnt work, she said it ran out on Sept 2, so then I gave her my print out for the Platinum. She said that the free parking was for next year. Well played Kings Island. I ended up having to pay for parking. At least I got Platinum now and I plan on only going to at least Cedar Point and maybe carowinds. Hopefull with more overtime at work I can plan more trips and make it to King Dominion and back to Cedar Point.

Wow, the track is redder than I thought it was. Its almost like Firehawk. Its more maroon, this picture the lighting must be off or somthing. The supports are almost the same color and Delerium supports.

My only experience is Roller Coaster Tycoon, so I guess I would either put in braking stations and adjust or higher degree banked turns. Slow it down to bring the intensity down and raise excitement.

They should tear down AE and use that land with old SOB land. Also they could build one and run it thought woods where the Train and White Water Cannon is.

Somethings apply to all rides; Add more fans, fans fans fans; Ban all basketballs from que lines; Get rid of head of the line passes; Flight Deck: Add more track somehow Drop Tower: Add half inch to seat belt, you all the time see them squeezing somebody in. Delerium: Last Longer AE: clean Racer: Run both trains backwards. Add curve in lapbar where it doesnt dig into your leg, apply same to beast. Firehawk: Bins FOF: Change themeing Vortex: Fix roughness Backlot: Fire rideops, excessive stacking The Beast: Remove first hill trim Diamondback: Make it Fast Lane plus, Tell ride ops to quit chanting" I say diamond, you say back"

Thinking about a last minute first time trip to Cedar Point tommrow. Its a 5 hour drive for me. Im kinda on the fence about going. Kinda wondering if its a good time to go and will it be crowded? Plan is to buy Platinum Pass and use the one time visit.

I never understood the excessive need to drink alcohol in an amusment park.

1985 White Water Canyon, a $4 million rapid river ride, led the park to a then-record attendance high of 2,981,861 visitors. The ride, specifically designed for Kings Island by Intamin, Inc. of Zurich, Switzerland, drenched each six passenger raft on its 1,680-foot-long channel through rapids, whirlpools, and geysers. Later, coin-operated "geyser" machines were added to allow spectators the opportunity to soak riders too. Signs at the beginning of the ride queue line read, "You WILL get wet on this ride Didnt know Kings Island had an Intamin.

As much as its "sin" to smoke outdoors, I like that they are cracking down on people drinking in unauthorized areas.

I am sick of hearing that too.

The track is burgundy.
