Gemini XL-200

Then I will be there! Thank you Terp!

I really want to do Coasterstock. However, on Day one (Saturday, May 16) I will not be getting back in town until around 2 pm or 3 pm from my family vacation. Could I still sign in mid day for the event?

I'll be attending on Monday! Being at KI on Monday is getting me out of work that day, so it's a win-win for me. Sadly, Diamondbacker missed the deadline to register due to his mission trip. So I'll be showing up solo on Monday, but I'm looking forward to meeting up with my fellow KICers.

Well it could be a new building to hold Slaughterhouse. Or, it could be a new building to move the Haunt from The Crypt building into so they can free up The Crypt building for a future ride.

Wouldn't the ride "current wait times" thread be a good place for things like that?

Maybe it could be a new water ride themed to the voyage over to America.

Two or three summers ago (whenever my Cedar Point trip was) a ride op on Magnum XL-200 ended his spiel with "Enjoy your day at Six Flags Sandusky". I thought it was clever.

They could move the maintenance shops that are over by Racer, Firehawk, and FoF somewhere else and build a ride plaza and station there, and have a new coaster extend out onto SoB's old plot of land that is sitting empty right now.

...in September. I love P&G day. Always nice to look forward to that after school starts.

I'd love to see them do something about Tower Gardens. They could even make it an area with plaques about KI's history and possibly even some of (pre-KI) Coney Island's history.

I love Canes. Having an older brother who goes to OSU, I always ask him to bring some Canes home for me whenever he comes home.

Excellent trip report! I really enjoyed reading it. You're probably my favorite poster to read trip reports from, partly because of all of your knowledge and insight in park operations. Haha seriously, if I was in charge at KI, I would give you like a hundred comment cards each time you went and would pay you for your reviews of operations, certain employees, etc. The one thing that struck me as particularly horrendous was the fact that you even pointed out an offender on Diamondback to a ride op and he basically ignored it. That's just horrible, and carelessness.

Edit: Duplicated post, on my iPod.

Haha I did go past them, but unless I am mistaken I did not make a comment on food or anything. That's ok though.

Terpy, what did you think of Banshee? Do you agree with the park's statement that it is the best new ride for 2014 in the world?

Terpy, were you at the park today?

My favorite was Front Row on the very left. I also heard that back row on the very right was also awesome. But any seat was an amazing seat in my opinion, so if you don't get what you want it's still amazing.

Being in the middle of the mob around 11:15 or so waiting to get in the front gate, it took about 50 minutes for me to get in. I was not happy about that, but I'm not sure what the cause of it was so I'm not mad at the park for it. Me and Diamondbacker rode The Bat twice and DBack once and then decided to head home because of the lines. Me and Diamondbacker also got 17 rides on Banshee yesterday (Media Day + Scream for a Kid Again). My last ride of the night: From Left to Right: Me, Malem, Ohio Colts, and Diamondbacker.

Me and Diamondbacker: 0.0000000000000000 Hours of Sleep.

Try taking three tests when your mind is focused on Banshee. Yep, that's how my day is. Gotta love coasters and how well they can distract you!

Only natural of him to ask me for that quote, as I am more than likely the biggest coaster enthusiast at Elder (with Diamondbacker in a close second ). Gemini XL-200, who was more than happy to give Diamondbacker a quote for his excellent article.

Mt. Olympus ordered to replace defective/worn parts before the Opa coaster can be inspected (and if passed) and reopened: http://www.wiscnews.com/baraboonewsrepublic/news/local/article_e9745da3-a833-5f39-ac46-cf596f3708a9.html - If the Opa coaster is going to be reopened, Mt. Olympus ordered to change its maintenance and training procedures. - 11 out of 24 pawls skipped during inspection, resulting in four total lap bar failures. What is a "pawl"? - The DSPS ordered Mt. Olympus to do the following: Ensure that proper maintenance and inspection procedures are completed as required by the manufacturer. Ensure that all safety bulletins that have been issued for the ride have been reviewed and that any changes that are required have been made. Replace defective and/or worn components Ensure that ride is not operated with tubs exceeding capacity limits. The limit is 660 pounds Ensure that employee training is recorded. Mt. Olympus will not reopen the Opa coaster, it will be removed: http://www.wkow.com/story/25132689/2014/04/01/mt-olympus-cited-with-4-code-violations-in-roller-coaster-accident - The man woke up from his coma. - 4 of the 12 lap bars were failing. - Total weight limit is 660 pounds, total weight in the coaster car right before the accident was 720 pounds. "Guest safety is a paramount goal at Mt. Olympus. We conduct strict daily inspections and regular maintenance of our rides, and all employees operating rides complete extensive operator training." - The Laskaris Family I do find that statement ironic if 4 of the 12 lap bars were defective and half of the lab bars were not inspected before operation.

If they got incredibly hot, that would probably discourage people from sitting on the railings. And in turn that would save Ride Ops some time for not having to tell people to get off of them. An excellent way, in my opinion, to use my 100th post on this wonderful site.

Steel Dragon 2000 has seatbelts: http://cache.rcdb.com/0givt000005eve14lg00r5.jpg Also, Nitro has them (or had, I'm not sure): http://coastergallery.com/1999/GA67.html
