A little oil here & there will preserve the track look. Even motor oil.

I received my piece of track today after they called yesterday. Here are what they look like. I got No. 15 out of the 250. Comes with a nice Certificate of Authenticity signed by Greg Scheid.

0 This year We made a Point to go up north for some coasters, Conquered the hills at night a couple of states south, and played with some plastic bricks in a garden full of cyprus.

I sure made good use of my pass (at least, relative to other years). 16 times in accordance with FunPerks.

I just got my call about an hour ago. They are overnighting it and I have already got a shipping tracking number! I am excited!!

Good Lord, Rob annoys me beyond belief. Other than that, this video is great. I want to go to IAAPA so bad. Will you link to the other videos when they come out?

Wouldn't that be Horizontal? The supports are going vertical.

Honestly, I think this constitutes as just maintenance (all rides need them) and does not IMO count as something new. If they do decide to paint Racer that would be wonderful, but again should not count as something 'new' for the year.

It will get an update and a major expansion.

I didn't hear him scream ... it sounded more like "Good riddance."

Just found this on Twitter, it says the lift hill is all that is left standing and it will be taken down next week. http://telly.com/9MYB0

I went to KI 4 times this year, but I also made it to CP twice and KD and WOF once. Great use of a Platinum pass, next year I'm planning to head up to CW and I'll definitely go to CP.

19 Visits.

11 this year. I'm beginning to get bored with KI, so next year I may trade a few KI visits for an extra trip to CP and/or HW instead.

I went to KI 11 times this year. Kind of crazy since we live about 2 hours away. But it was a great year. I bought a PP for next year so I hope to make the CP/Carowinds/Kings Dominion trip!

I made only about 4 this year. I took video during each trip, and hope to put out some more VTRs during the bluest of off-season blues.

Good idea. I use a drop of motor oil on pocketknife blades to keep them looking nice; I don't know why I didn't think of that for this application as well!

Too many for my own good.

added for emphasisIs that anything like the majority knowing a 25-year old ride is not sinking? Enthusiasts, like us, know these rumors to be humorous. We make up the minority. The majority do not know these things. Breeze through KI's FB page for more examples of what humorous rumors are constantly being discussed by the majority- more than enough to fill a hot air ballon.

^ Which would probably be you, if it was your backyard...

Or your backyard park's GM could end up "unhappy with the ride experience"...

^Words can't describe how excited that picture just made me.

Good things come to those who wait.

So the Haunt is over... and I would like to send a BIG thank you to all the guests that came out and allowed me to scare the crap out of them. You all were great. Also, thanks to my fellow haunters for dedicating themselves and making the job the best I've ever had. But to keep it topical... How 'bout that Slaughterhouse, eh? I totally didn't work there.. I just thought they were probably the most awesome thing that's ever happened. I wouldn't say that if I worked there because I definitely didn't. That's crazy.. Me? Working there? Ha.. ha.. er..
