Well, as warned…today’s photos turn out to be a little anticlimactic. Ironically enough, the person who kind of killed the “interesting” factor of the 2011 shot is the same person that I originally went to for help months back when I was trying to figure out where to stand, Paul/TOPGUN1993! (The “interesting” factor for me was that the clock was not located over by The Antique cars as I would have originally thought.) After digging through all of the photos that I could find of 1974, I could not find a nice close-up shot of the clock’s 1974 position…so when I am looking for a certain shot of the park I have learned to go to Paul. (If you ever happen to see a “Hoarders” episode where the guy has thousands of Kings Island photos, you’re looking at Paul!) This is the shot that I had to give me the general idea of it’s location: And this is the close-up that Paul located for me. Let me say, that out of all 31 photos that I did, this was THE hardest for me…and the only one that I am still not quite sure of. When I look at the faraway shot I feel pretty confident that I succeeded in getting the shot…but every time I look at the overhead aerial shot I keep having doubts that I was quite in the right place. I look forward to hearing from the “experts” if they think this one is correct or not…I can take it! (I almost didn’t even post this photo because of my uncertainty.) 1974 Even if the next shot isn’t correct I still like looking at how nice the clock looked back then. 2011 I KNOW that even if this shot’s location is correct, I should have tilted the camera up a hair…but to be honest I just wanted to get this shot and move on! As I mentioned in my first post, when I took these I would look at my work photo…usually hold it up to verify I was getting what I needed…plus in this case I kept walking back and forth in about a 10 foot area trying to zero in on what I thought was the right spot. WELL, if you look at the photo you will notice the two people standing there. It started to get a little awkward for me because the guy kept looking over at me…so after finding what I thought was the correct area I quickly took 2 shots and moved on. And as for where I would rather be...1974 or 2011...some may find it surprising...but I choose 1974. I say this because I never go to the shows at the theater...and since the clock looks so good I choose it! I hope that you are still finding these interesting…and thanks for the feedback! (And to Gator & Paul I hope you know I don’t really think you’re stupid. )

^Karl Wallenda walked a tight rope and scaled the Eiffel Tower? Was it two performances for the price of one or something?

I didn't really hear him say anything that could pertain to Son of Beast. How many wood coasters are there in the US alone that could be eligible for this treatment? It's like being at a basketball game, and the lucky halftime winner is in section 132, and you think "Hey, I'm in section 132!.....along with a couple hundred others...." It'll be very interesting to see where they go with this and what they do with it, but I wouldn't hold my breath that it's for Son of Beast.

Sadly only one person has been able to enjoy the organ lately.

that is so cool i love this topic

I'd like to see higher quality food, with more healthy choices, and a table service restaurant. Same wants as for years. And at least one adult show that is NOT a musical revue.

The fluids would not be as viscous at low temperatures. Therefore the wheels would not be as lubricated and would need more force to overcome the friction.

I have heard Wolf Pack was suppose to be called Son of Beast and have a loop. Now it is only open for just over a month
