Rollercoast18

Our Fox affiliate said the same thing up here in Dayton. I wish TV stations and newspapers actually knew what they were talking about or at least do some of your own research.

What time do the fireworks start tonight?

Hello, my family purchased our season passes last week at Meijers. I was wondering if anyone here knew if we have to process our passes before 5/23 to get the gold pass.

I believe my first coaster was The Beastie. Once I got bigger it was racer, beast, and Vortex. I think.

My screen name is PKIBombers.

Actually on the drops, if your restraint fails, you will fly out of the car. I can see where on Top Gun and The Vortex that it would be hard to reach down that far to check the belt.

Eventhough I am a Dayton Bombers fan, I will miss the Cyclones a little bit. We had a good rivalry the first year the Cyclones were back in the ECHL.

I was wondering if PKI should add belts to The Vortex and Top Gun like Face/Off, Drop Zone, and Runaway Reptar? I personally would love it. I rarely ride The Vortex and Top Gun because of the fear I have that the shoulder restraints would come up. When I go up the lift hill I am constantly thinking what if the shoulder restraint is not working correctly and if I am going to fly out of the car. Also, whenever I ride The Vortex the shoulder restraint will give a couple of clicks on the way down the hill and it scares the crap out of me. I don't trust those restraints one bit. If they added belts I would feel so much safer.

It was probably taken away from The Beastie because they added seat belts to the ride. "ACE Coaster Classics allow riders to slide from side-to-side. A coaster with any restraint or device that restricts this freedom is not eligible for ACE Coaster Classic status. "

Well, I have had my season pass since 1986, I think. I have not purchased my season pass for next year, but I plan on doing so.

What do they have to fulfill to receive that banner?

What qualifies a "Crew of Excellence" banner? I noticed them for the first time when I went to Spirit Song.

A picture of Son of Beast at Paramount's Kings Island is in this week's People. It is in one of the articles, however this article is not about rollercoasters. Can you find it?

Thank you all for replying, you were very very helpful!

That would be me!

I was there at 9:00 a.m. so maybe I was too early. Does anyone know if they would let me bring my twin brother along?

Well some of the groups I have seen before or I don't want to see, so I leave Timberwolf and get on some rides. Many people do this, just make sure to get your hand stamped so you can reenter or keep your ticket stub.

Well I believe the first day, Thursday, goes from 7:00 p.m. till closing. Then on Friday it goes from 2:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. till closing, and on Saturday it goes from 2:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. to about 11:00 p.m., which leaves you about an hour to get on an extra ride since the park closes at 12:00 a.m.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to join the walkback. I am an ACE member. I know you have to be at the ACE stone near that store, but last time I went no one came up to the stone. Is it everyday? Can I bring my twin brother with me? He will be joining ACE later this summer, but doesn't have a card.

I was wondering if anyone here was going to Spirit Song. I will be going all three days, like I have the past couple years. I bought my tickets back in February and I have been looking forward to it all year. Anyone here that doesn't like Christian music or the festival, please don't bash it.

I have always thought that PKI should install a love canal kind of ride to deter people from making out in the lines.

I would suggest that anyone who has a Gold Pass go to PKI early and do the Walk-on Wednesday perk. It is great being able to skip the lines. I also have to say a couple of other things. I went for my first time on wednesday and Delerium is amazing! Also I have ridden tr:tr many times and I have always loved it but I always heard some people say, "That's all?" Well on wednesday a lot of people were loving it and kept on talking about it while exiting the ride. And the second time that I rode it people began clapping at the end. It was a great day, everything was working and people were having fun.

I always have thought that they should connect belts to those harnesses. What is really wierd is when I was smaller I wasn't afraid of it as much as I am now.

Hello, I was wondering what would happen if the harnesses came up on the lift hill on The Vortex and top gun. I have always wondered this because I have had a couple of rides on Vortex where the harness came up a couple of clicks during the ride (it really scared me and causes me to hesitate before going on the ride). It wouldn't bother me so much if it had the belt attached to it like tr:tr, drop zone, face/off, Delerium, and Reptar does. Would the ride stop on the lift hill, or during the ride, if the harnesses came up? I am going to PKI for the first time this year on Wednesday (weather cooperating). This time last year I had attended at least 4 times. However, this year I had college, and the weather has been crappy. If any employees see a person with sun-burned hands(watched NHRA drag racing in Columbus on Sunday), that would be me.

Spirit Song is great, 3 days of great Christian Music! WooHoo! I bought my tickets online in february. I am also 18 and I also remember going to the Beach Boys' concerts. The Beach Boys are great!
