Captain Nemo Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Of all the coasters I wish I could have ridden, it is The Bat. Yeah I know it should be capitalized but the fact that we have turned into a forum that kicks each other over punctuation has gone to far. If 13 year olds can join this forum do you honestly think grammar and proper punctuation will be followed? This is a Internet forum, not a classroom. Anyway.. The coaster just had an interesting layout and looks like one fun ride. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengals fan Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Never got to ride it was never operating when I was there. After standing in line for over an hour it shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoChickens Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I had the privilege of riding it a quite a few times, and yes, it was one fun ride. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VortexBFForever Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 4th time ever on Vortex - on 8/17/2010 by KIC-Vortex_BFF, on Flickr This was from August 17, 2010. It's a picture of me about to take my 4th ride ever (yes, 4th) on Vortex! I was 11 years old at the time. Had I not uploaded it to my Google+ account as a profile photo along with 2 other photos from 10/23/2010, it would have been lost forever when my laptop's hard drive had failed in 2012. In order for me to be able to share them on here, I just downloaded them and re-uploaded them to Flickr. I'm very thankful they were on Google+ already, or else I would not be able to eventually share them with my fellow KICentral members right now. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondhawk Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Is that dinky fence on the original bat supposed to keep people out? ^ 'Twas a different time. Believe it or not, back then, guests entering restricted areas was not a large concern for the park. I think that changed after the infamous Tower Johnny incident. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Back then, Cedar Point coasters had neither seat belts nor gates. Chutes: Stay Behind the Yellow Line. And guests...DID. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 ^ Darien Lake's Mind Eraser still has no loading gates. Not to many people stepped in front of the yellow line unless the ride was stopped. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I really wish they would add water back to the Stunt Track. Even if the cannons didn't work or anything think it would look better just having some water in there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdawg1998 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 So many depressing pictures. I never went on the antique cars (Antique Cars? Not trying to start another argument, actually asking if they were called "Antique Cars"), but that made me depressed - then The Italian Job with its yellow track, "splash" landing, overall better looking theme, and that waterfall^. So sad. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yes, they were called Antique Cars, and I miss them still to this day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
