I would like to have the chains over the metal arms it owould be much more intense that way. I can see it know thouh idots try to twist and turn ect..

Wow that sound just makes me NOT want to go to the park

No surprize here.

Does Cedar Point even need a new coaster? I mean the park really seems to be complete coaster wise and people will be lining up at the gates for the older rides anyway.

I would love to see some highly priced dark ride like Spiderman but better. It would look so out of place at Kings Island though.

An Intamin launching coaster would be sweet. If only I could pick the rides King Island would get.

I would love to see the park put on a really long haunt like 30-40 minutes but have it be an upcharge haunt.

Well, this summer I tried so hard to get a new car and was very close to doing so today. Looks like I'm going to fail at that and the old Explorer will have to get endure one more winter.

I like collecting the shot glasses and I got a couple of posters nbut thats really it. Im not into the t-shirt stuff too much.

It has a steeper drop other than that I do no know.

That would be sweet the new trains on The Vortex even though I think its been running great this year. I would be happy if they got rid of the splash down on backlot and replaced it with something more natural looking than a crappy want to be lake.

When it woudl cost just as much as a new coaster to do that to SOB with no garntee that it will fix the problems why risk it. The layout of the ride wasn't all that great anyway.

Grr anyone else getting tired of these things.

I went to the site almost everyday to check out what was on the blog. Usually it was nothing but when it was it was pretty fun to read.

Too much organization can be a bad thing.

That drop is steep!

Ones of these days I'm going to bring my camera and make a nice photo trip report. I just hate lugging things around at a park that you dont have to.

There is at least one intamin stand up that is operational that I know of.

So I got to the park at about 6:10 or so. Had to wait almost 5 minutes in line for them to scan pass since they only had two people working the front gate. The first ride I headed to was Diamondback. The line was only about 5 minutes with 2 trains running. They didn't have the station seperator and you could hardly walk in the station. I really think they need to keep one on the ride. I dont see the point in packing in like sardines. Anyway rode in 2nd to last seat. Is it just me or the drop out of the turnaround is getting bumbpy? The next ride was The Beast. They also only had two trains running but there was no wait at all just walked right up to the train and picked at seat. The first time I ride Backlot this season since it had no wait and that ride has become a big waste of space. I was really startving at this point having worked through my lunch and I never eat breakfast but didn't want to spend the money eating so I was figthing the urge. Headed to The Vortex and rode in the back seat another walk-on. I can't say enough of this ride and hope it doesn't have the same fate as alot of the other arrow loopers have been having lately. Headed up the Coney Mall midway and down X-Base. Went on Flight of Fear and had an amazingly short wait about 8 minutes. The crew seemed very slow to me though. I didn't even bother looking at the line for Firehawk. I am sure it was short but I just hate the ride. It is borning too slow paced to be a scream machine. Walked further up the Coney Mall pathway and road The Racer. I can't say enough for this ride. Just an amazing classic ride. Rode Adventure Express walk on as well and it was well Adventure Express. I didn't ride Delirum or Drop Tower this trip since I was in the mood for coasters. Went up to Flight Deck and road the ride in the back and well just meh. I usually like to ride it but it has to be in the front. Invertago was next and a complete walk-on. The were sending trains out less than full. Headed back to ride Diamondback again just a 10 minute wait with 2 trains. I sat in my magic row 4. Great ride. I finally broke down and got some fries at the Potato Works for $6.99. Headed back to ride Flight of Fear and just sat down in the back row and the ride was having some kind of delay. I think someone boarded the ride and was supposed to riding. I didn't want to wait for them to re-open the ride since it was running close to closing time. We ended up re-riding The Racer, Adventure Express, and Inverago and left for the night just as the fireworks were going off.

Hmm shows how much I know.

^ I think thats true. I know for a fact you have to be over certain age to ride in the back on a certain coaster. Just cant remeber the details.

I have been to KI 30+ times this year and been on Firehawk once. Whats that tell you about the ride. It sucks of a ride for how long the line is. One train loading one on the course or nearly ready to be. KI might as well not even use the dual loading station.

Shaggy I love reading your post. Great insight. Its amazing to think what the park would like if all the things that were close to happening did. Maybe someone could draw it up.

What a fast season it was.

Is it going to be my first ride next year? No but its a great addition to KI.
